Mike,

Disclaimer: I work for Westone Laboratories - we make in-ear monitors. I believe they are the finest on the market today. Our distributor in the Netherlands is a company called Variphone. I highly encourage you to see if you can try some locally before you invest in on-the-ear (supraaural) or around-the-ear phones (circumaural).

Reason: You can use these on-stage as in-ear monitors, you can mix with them, and you can also use them as the finest set of iPod headphones you will ever own. You won't be wearing Grados on stage or out on the street.

Very flat response with the UM1 and UM3x models. The UM2 model has an intentional boost of the low frequencies. http://www.variphone.com/nl/in-ear-monitors/universal-series/um3x

Variphone also sells our custom ES series of in-ear monitors - custom fit to your ears.

PM me if you would like more information.

-Scott
