Hello,
 
I've never liked IEMs that much. I've always preferred FS headphones. I've always find those very uncomfortable, big plugs don't fit, smaller ones are too loose.
 
So I would like to try to get a pair of custom IEMs done, because of their high noise isolation. Even with FS closed cans, such as the ATH-M50 (which I sold), I find myself always turning up the volume.
 
It's just a trial, so I'm asking you what's the entry level price for a pair of custom IEMs, else, how much the cheapest IEMs cost.
I'm not going to build a portable rig though. For that I have my desktop rig... In this case I'm not looking for sonic excellence, but I'd put noise isolation has priority over everything else!
 
I live in Italy so I'd need a producer who accepts third-party audiologist's plugs to send them (I found one with instructions for indipendent audiologists on its site) and who also provides international shipping.
 
Detatchable cables are preferred, and the possibility of substituting the custom plugs with a standard pair (in case of reselling) is also preferred! 
 
 
(yes I've read the superguide thread 

 but my questions seem not to be that common! )
 
 
Thank you everybody

P.S. 
 
It's not clear... Can I get just the custom plugs done for any common (I mean, a pair of Shure less than 150€ or UE for less than 200€) In-Ear earphones??? Who does offer that service?

bump!

Westone, 1964 and some others do the custom tips for Universal IEMs. You could also make your own ( at your own risks)

Thank you very much! 
 
I haven't found anything about it on the westone website, but in the 1964 website I've found a couple of pages...
 
What's the difference between this

and this?

Remould, or reselling is taking the drivers from the IEM and placing them in customised shells, turning them into customs. The sleeves are just custom tips

 

[Edoardo]

Fine... Do these solutions provide different sound isolation?

 

[Leynar]

OH. No problem! Sorry bout that, I'm posting from a laggy iPhone so I overlooked the thank you. It really depends, but I think the reselling should have more
