64 Audio U6t Universal In-Ear Monitor Drummers who are done with that wedge blasting away at them a few feet from their drum throne, but don’t want to expend the time and expense to order custom in-ear monitors, should look into these universal IEMs by 64 Audio. The U6t offers various ear tips and modules to make the earbuds as customizable and comfortable as possible. The six-driver configuration produces excellent upper-midrange imaging and deep and well-defined low frequencies—a near-perfect soundscape for drummers—and the company’s patented Air Pressure Exchange (apex) vent ensures air pressure doesn’t build up in a sealed ear canal when the IEMs are in place.
