hi Peter,

you may find that some musicians are too sensitive to the in-ear monitors
due to their generic shape. This same issue may cause some leakage to get
back into the mics, that is, you may get a big enough gap due to a lose
fit.

The advantage is that you don't need to send too high of a signal into
them and that'll avoid a high level leakage.

Lastly, some singers prefer to have one ear on the monitor and one off so
that they can hear themselves. I guess you can always tape over the
hanging monitor and carry on.
