What’s In-Ear Monitor (IEM), Earphone, Earbud, or Ear-canal headphone style?
In-ear monitors are the always-on-the-go headphone style for serious audiophiles who are constantly on the move.
IEM: Acronym referring to “In-Ear Monitor.” This headphone style is the most portable of all the headphone styles. This is due to its small size, which allows it to fit inside the ear canal. There are two types of In-Ear headphone styles:
- Pre-formed “Universal" IEMs (or Earphones) - these are pre-molded to fit inside the ear canals, universally.
- Custom IEMs - custom-molded by an audiologist to fit the unique impressions of a wearer’s ear canal.
A Revolution in Portability
IEMs are one headphone style for audiophiles who prioritize their music requirements. They deliver pristine sound no matter what ergonomic scenario or destination you travel to next. Lighter and easier to transport, they’re the best choice for mobile on-the-go music enjoyment.

Upgrade Your Earbuds
Featuring more advanced technologies than your standard earbuds, IEMs are the upgrade that true music lovers deserve. In-ear monitors can use a range of driver types, allowing for versatility and customization. Next-level audio isolation means you don’t need to turn up the volume to hear the nuances you crave. Not only does this enhance the listening experience, it can also preserve your hearing.
Universal or Custom In-Ear Monitors
Universal In-ear monitors are standardized to fit most ear canals. They’re ready-to-go, cost-effective, and comfortable for those who are ready for a revolutionary listening experience. You can find universal IEMs from nearly all major audio manufacturers.
However, for a customized experience, some audiophiles choose custom IEMs. These are made from a mold of your unique ear canal and designed to fit perfectly. While they’re a little more costly, the customized fit offers next-level comfort for long-term listening. They offer the tightest seal for the most pristine audio isolation.
We’d recommend universal IEMs for the new audiophile or those who prioritize sharing or re-sale value. We’d recommend custom in-ear monitors for professionals and avid audiophiles. And when we call them custom, we mean it. You can deck out your IEMs with custom shells and faceplates for an aesthetic experience that’s uniquely yours.
At Moon Audio, we offer custom IEMs from Empire Ears and 64 Audio. Browse the selection above to find your perfect pair. They’re saviors for your ear canals, either on stage, or on-the-go.
