In-ear monitor

So yeah, I think this is definitely one to go for if you want that big sound in your living room.

Next up, a Stellan Kern Active Scoop, a pair of wired in-ear monitors or IEMs.

There's an acronym for everything.

And what I like about these is that they're wired, you know, which is popular again, isn't it? It's very interesting.

I think

this with a good set of headphones or IEMs, will just blow your mind.

Also, if you want to do an extra song off of that, he does a cover from Arctic Monkeys, Do I Want to Know? Yeah.

And this one blew up on TikTok.

a little

thin.

They're not as deep, as impactful as some of my IEMs.

I'm losing a little bit of treble detail.

It was easy for me to want to do this early, early on.

I think this is my 22nd year using in-ear monitors or something, which 22 years ago in just a weekend working band using IEMs was a trick.

It was not as simple as it is today.

Yes, exactly.

They're host- Just let him, let him win a little bit.

Are you doing the, are you doing the voices? [laughs] I, I don't have the IEMs now, so I can't hear what you're doing.

Has the whole thing been Chad or the voice?

Yeah, Chad.

It might just be something else or maybe it's you've, you've reached your endgame on your two-channel system, and now you realize that you're traveling a lot, and your listening experience is nowhere near that good.

So now you're suddenly getting into DAPs and IEMs or, you know, just, just as an-

Sure

... example right on there, where it's like it's still the same basic hobby.

You know, we give us some COD awards out, but I cleaned up a little bit.

My right ear doesn't work, but I just felt like it looked cleaner with the IEMs in, but it is what it is.

You know what I'm saying? I'm vibing, been gaming.

Glad to do another show.

Does that mean something went wrong today, then? Oh, yeah.

My guitar wasn't plugged into the IEM.

So they

couldn't get the signal to the front of power.

Like it's average to me.

I would say that this is like a slightly above average IEM.

I do think it's priced competitively, but...

the market's too competitive.

That idea to me of plugging that into my HA2A, I don't know.

It's exciting.

I'm like, what could I do with this IEM? So I don't know.

This one, it just speaks for itself.

I had enormous, just my section alone was just huge in terms of monitors.

And then I can remember, bro, when our first IEM rig, that was when, like, if you could get one, they were exorbitantly expensive, and we found a company that made one.

And it was mono, you know, and of course the moles were all janky and stuff, but it was changed everything.

It's the greatest thing ever, in my opinion.
