  DIY CIEMs? Tell me more please good sir. Are they entirely DIY? 


Yes they are I have a lot of post in the DIY in ear monitor thread. I took my own impressions of my ear and made negative molds, then used UV acrylic for the shells. I purchased the balanced armatures from Knowles, most CIEM companies use there drivers. Do a search for diy ciem its a great forum.

I'll have to look into it. What was the cost for the drivers and the overall finished product in comparison to other CIEM companies?

It depends on what drivers you want and the start up cost. The drivers cost me $45 for 2 drivers per ear. The drivers need high pass and low pass filters(capacitors and resistors). I guess a rough estimate for a duel driver setup cost me $140. They sound really good since you can adjust them to your liking using different value resistors and capacitors for how much bass or treble you want.

That sound like a really appealing option for CIEMs.. Too bad I have clumsy canned ham hands and can't DIY myself a pair though. Lol. Awesome work though man, and thanks for the info!

Here is my daughters DIY CIEM's for her portable rig that I made. She wanted them to look like Ariana Grande's. These are single driver using Knowles ED at full range. Cost of the driver was $24 per ear same driver as the Etymotic earbuds
