what were you driving? i have an old lotus that is similar. ear pain within minutes. engine is inches behind my head.
thankfully none of my other cars need more than a plain helmet.
Lotus 7 styled machine. Has a supercharged honda k20a, the exhaust exit is drivers side....

Do your monitors make equalizing pressure better or worse than without? Or is the tolerable just about the noise levels?
Probably a little bit worse on descent. It's all about noise levels - constant drone and screaming babies.

Where did you get them done in NZ?
Sorry for the late reply - Pacific Ears (you get the impressions done at Bay Audiology)

Thank you and no worries!
You're welcome. Fleur is awesome to deal with there. I think the ones I got were the custom fit j2's.

Thank you. I was just about to ask which model you got!
Do you know how much of a difference single dual or triple drivers make?
Sorry can't tell ya as only bought the one set, so nothing to compare against...

No worries thanks for the advice. The price of that model seems good.
I had full impressions done with custom in-ear monitors and I've never been happier. Makes plane flights absolutely tolerable too.
In-ear monitors vs sleeved (like eytomtic slip-ons) are much better practically day to day as the wires exit flush with the bottom of your earlobes (needed for getting helmets on and off) which means beanies, sleeping on a plane etc you can rest the side of your head on something without wires/end of the monitor.
Around $700NZD / $300USD done here in NZ.
