I personally use and recommend a Boss DB-90 Dr.Beat Metronome. I prefer dedicated hardware metronomes than any app I've ever used. As far as headphones go, a set of shure Shure SE215 (that are rather inexpensive) will make a night & day difference. Just be sure to get a random assortment of of earpads/tips to go with them. I personally like the yellow foam tips, but to each their own.
I use the SE215’s similarly. I still bring over ear Bose on long flights for comfort, but I put in the Se215’s when I want to sleep because they’re more isolating and I can move my head to more positions without disturbing them.
Yeah I am actually looking to replace my SE215 which are dying. They are my current sports IEMs.
But I've read that shure aren't that good nowadays cause you can get much better quality for the same price.
if you get IEMs aimed at professional musicians, they're designed for sound isolation. i use the shure se215 and they claim 37dB of sound cancelling. looks like the hear-os are around 33dB.
a lot of unneeded waste too. been using the se215s for 5+ years now. plus i can listen to shit in my helmet at a reasonable volume. but you do you ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
some states don't allow "earbuds" (like this), but allow [hearing protection](https://www.hearos.com/collections/all-consumer/products/earplugs-high-fidelity-series-with-free-case). all states have different laws on this, it's super fun. it's technically illegal where i live, but i'd rather deal with the ticket if the officer won't take the "but seriously it's hearing protection" argument.
the thing with chifi iems is that they don't offer nearly as much sound isolation as something meant to use on stage
you'd want something like the shure se215 or entymotic er2se. er2's are the better set though imo but only if you're okay with the fit
for live performance iems with focus on good isolation your only real options are shure se215 or entymotics er2se in this price point. the chifi iems won't provide enough or something comparable to the two mentioned, same goes for ie200
er2se are tuned better then se215 but the fit can be polarizing

Budget gaming pick, but poor cables and polarizing bass.
