Since that time the technology has developed into custom molds of the musicians ear. 1964 Ears is one company that develops these. Here is a video to give you an idea of who they are and what they do.

These can be used by professional musicians or just people that are really serious about the music they listen to.
My question is this. Considering how much money people will spend for "Beats by Dr. Dre" and other brands of headphones that can cost over $300. Do you think people would spend the extra money to get in ear monitors that are better quality and are molded to their ears?
I think people would pay for in-ear monitor's if the price was right. If they had Bluetooth technology that would allow you to listen to people on your phone or play music from your phone. Also, if they could be used as a hearing aid to those who have damaged hearing this would increase their value even more. They would also be comfortable and convenient.
ReplyDeleteYeah i dont see these replacing headphones unless they were used to help those who have bad hearing. I think that would be a great idea and would help sell more because its a flashy new technology and can also help those in need with hearing.
DeleteI definitely think that these molded in-ears will prove popular in markets that already use in-ear monitors, such as bands. However, I don't see these replacing headphones anytime soon for the average music lover. I would also agree with Wyatt that the greatest opportunity for success would be to integrate some other uses into the technology.
