or seen your favorite musicians performing live on TV,

you may have noticed that they were wearing these, in-ears.

But what are they listening to through them?

Well, a year back, I did a short video on these

that I thought I'd give you a more in-depth view.

it is really critical that you can hear yourself clearly.

And traditionally, this was done with wedges.

are a wedge shaped loudspeaker floor monitor.

These are placed on stage facing the performers

Legend has it that The Beatles were the first people

to use onstage monitors when they couldn't hear themselves

Their sound engineers decided to simply turn

some of the speakers that were facing the audience

around to face the band so they could hear themselves.

Skid Row were touring with Van Halen at the time

and was so impressed by it that they offered

Since then, the work of many sound engineers

they became accessible to the everyday musician

and what they do, and what makes them so great.

they create a seal between your ear canal

and the in-ear monitor themselves, creating isolation.

So, here are eight reasons why they work.

Because the in-ears fit really tightly into the ear,
