Post pictures and/or videos/stills of recording artists, celebrities, sports figures, etc. wearing custom in-ear monitors (or non-IEMs as well) on stage or elsewhere.
 
Commentary is welcome, including, but not limited to, what brand of customs they're wearing, what have they worn in the past, etc.
 
Wit is welcome.

You can see here Avirl Lavigne wearing customs. (I don't know which brand)



 This is from her Instagram with a proper shot.

 

[tomscy2000]

IIRC, she uses the JH13. Ka- ka- ka- kawaii~~

Eminem with some Westones.

 
SCANDAL members with their FitEars.

And I bet they still use their apple earbuds when they go out.

God damn it Hyde, what are you doin' man. It's like he woke up one day and decided to become vampiric Alicia Keys

Ryo probably gave him some pointers.

They all use FitEars, of course.
 
Well, maybe not Ue-chan.

Very interesting that so many acts use FitEar in JP. I recall reading that they're a pretty small outfit no?
 
I once linked Gnarlsagan to a Bieber/Slipknot mashup:

He wasn't buyin' it, so I then followed up with Koi no Mega Lover and then he got mad at me and threw his sammich against a wall 

 

[TwinQY]

They're the biggest customs outfit in Japan, no?
 
Maaya Sakamoto (the inspiration behind the Monet mascot) with her FitEars.

 
They should pay me for advertising their gear. Money to my Cayman account'd be fine. Or maybe they can get me a sandwich to replace the one this "gnarls" person ruined. I suspect he's another deviant like the rest of your acquaintances.

 

[Idsynchrono_24]

Are they? I have no idea. I recall reading shigzeo's TG334 review way back and from the way he described it, it felt like it was a just part of Suyama's dental office or something. I dunno. Then again I think Tom mentioned UE's techs being limited to like a handful of people or so and their client list is probably pretty huge.

No kiddddiing. She's so modest desu in the Club Escaflowne shorts:

What happened? She's all polished in her crazy bohemian rags now 
 
And Seki is a dirty, dirty little man. And that's how we like him

You should hook up with FAD instead

And I'll have you know that I hang out with only the most upstanding of netizens, not like you, and your unwashed masses in the animu thread

Straight from Aya-chan's mouth:

  Suyama FitEar, Japan's foremost custom IEM maker

Although he could simply mean "foremost" as in quality, but....oh, I give up

 
And what are you doing looking at 16 year olds on Youtube? I should have saw this coming....

Kim Hyun Joong (SS501) with I believe JHs.

 

[Idsynchrono_24]

Probably foremost as an indicator of quality I'm guessing...

I was 18 when I bought the VoE box set and besides, Maaya is 4 years older than me :l 
 
Here's a pic of Eye demonstrating proper hearing protection as he prepares to smash his guitar harp thingamajig 

 
And here's Casio man YOLOing it up in front of a stack just not given' a ****. He just doesn't have time for no in ears when he's freakin out 
 

 

[TwinQY]

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

The first time I saw it was on YTV (in Canada), back when they had some weird adult stuff playing. You could just get cheap VHS subs off of the flea market so I'm not sure why anyone would bother with a box set. I believe someone had them remastered up to snuff a couple of years back.
 
But this isn't what people are tuning in for...

 
They're probably wearing Canalworks in their left ears.
