Thanks everyone for lots of IEM suggestions!
I did a bit of research around my area and found a super nice tinkerer, who makes custom ear pieces.

And I mean custom to the bone! We had a nice chat and he is now trying to incorporate some of my left over PicoPlanet boards into the face plates. This will look super dope! 🤩

Also: turns out I have very tiny ear canals. That's why regular in-ears never had a chance.

Was also allowed to peek into the workshop, which is full of soldering stations, 3D scanners & printers and laser cutters. 🤌

He now and then posts a bit of behind the scenes stuff on his Instagram. Check him out in case you ever consider custom headphones!

Oh, when I said "custom earpieces", that was maybe a bit of an understatement. I don't only mean the ear shape cast - he fully engineers the electronics, too! It's so toinyyyyyy!

Woop, next step: my fit test samples arrived!

It's pretty fun feeling them just snap into place. Will test them with a longer wear later!

Now it's not only procedurally generated PCBs, but also.. procedurally generated ear jewelry with fabulous sound. Ha!

@bleeptrack Kewl! 😄

Is this just regular in-ear headphones? Or more monitor slash ear plugs type for loud environments and such?

Also, this would make a great profile photo!

@sindarina you could say it's a mix: the shape is like the stage monitor headphones (meaning a pretty sealing cast of your ear shape).
But sound curve wise it's more tuned to be like regular headphones. They also have their own stage series, where the sound profile is different. :)
