Looking for IEM recommendations

[Frankencat]

I need some recommendations for a good and relatively inexpensive IEM headphones for on stage monitoring. I have like 10 cheapo sets but I am ready to step up. I am currently looking at the Ultimate Ears UE5 Pro and UE6+ Pro. Looking for two sets for my girl and me and and we have ear molds. Budget is $500-1000 range per set. Thanks!

The UE sets are good stuff. I have a Shure set. Mine are dual driver. I can't remember the model number of them off the top of my head. I have had them for quite a while. For me, more drivers doesn't usually equal better sound. I tend to prefer the single or dual driver sets. It would be nice if there were a way to try them out before buying them. You would think that someone would have come up with that option by now.

I’d actually recommend using Peace EQ to flatten your current set and see which baseline target you like (JM-1, Harman, IEF, etc) then try a set that matches your target.
