About $200-250 - Behring Eurolive B210D https://amzn.to/2TaSdSr
How to use them
Keep them close to you Keep the volume low Use them as side fills for whole bandWays I hook them up
From an Aux Mix from the main mixing board (standard old school) Out from an Aviom unit (personal monitor mixer) - Make your own mix - use speaker instead of in earsSmall guitar amp for personal monitor
Put a small amp on stage right under you and point it at your face It’s good for you to hear and won’t bother anyone else Can be a small amp - even a small practice amp ( I used to come out of the output of my floor pod)#2 - MINI MONITORS (Great for Vocalists)

#3 In Ear Monitors
Why I Love Them
You can get your own awesome mix (if you are using an app or avian units)You can save your hearing (turn stuff way down)You can get rid of the loud stage volumeADDED BENEFIT - YOU CAN RUN A CLICK AND TRACKS - In ears are required for this type of setup
Why I Hate Them
Can make you feel disconnected from the performance/audience If the mix isn’t perfect, it is very distracting You can damage your hearing (wearing only one or listening too loud) You lose the feel of the band/musicTIP: To make them really work, you need your OWN mix you can tweak yourself + YOU NEED A ROOM MIC to mix in.
