I'm just curious how these compare to the phones that completely surround the ear...Sorry I'm completely ignorant on this subject. I've found info on LOW IMPEDENCE headphones that seem to be popular in the field. Maybe you or other chordians will know if these are low impedance headphones. Here are some specs I found on these headphones. And thanks for the reply.
The E03 transmitter features Eight factory switchable channels, 300 ft. wireless operating range, Frequency Response of 100 Hz - 10KHz ± 3 dB and Signal to Noise Ratio of 60 dB. Any of E03 receivers can be used with EO3-T transmitor.
The real difference is in portability. You can clip the receiver on your belt and you don't have to tote another cord around like you do with a wired set of headset monitors, and the ear piece is small and out of the way. Having said that, I still prefer a floor monitor over anything on my head.
Your mix, ultimately, is going to come off your mixing board, no matter what kind of monitor you use. We use POS unpowered stage monitors when we gig, and they do alright. It really comes down to understanding what it is you need to hear, rather than what you want to hear. I know I need to hear certain guitar parts for me to queue off of, and I need to hear my own vocals when I sing, so the mix into the monitor reflects that. So what I hear is geared for me, and not the audience. The mix coming out of the PA is not the mix coming out of my monitor, if that makes sense.
Ultimately, it comes down to what you want to do with the monitor. Are you in a studio with it? Are you gigging with it? Sitting at home noodling and trying not to annoy the neighbors? Those should drive your decisions.
Someday we'll win this thing...
