What do singers hear in their earpieces?

The earpieces that singers wear on stage are called ‘in-ear monitors’. They provide the singer with a direct source of sound, protect their hearing and allow them to customize their stage mix. They also allow the singer to listen to things that the audience can’t hear (such as metronomes or backing tracks).

Why do singers pull out their earpieces?

Musicians often take out their earpieces out because they simply want to hear the crowd and take in the atmosphere. DJs and producers sometimes take out their in-ear monitors while mixing so they can hear a clearer sound of the room.

How long does it take to make ear molds?
