Hi.  My band just started using in-ear monitors.  We bought the low end 
Shure sets from Musician's  Friend.  they have assorted ear pieces 
according to size.  Our board has two channels, so we split the mixes.  
I find that they make a considerable improvement, once you get used to 
them.  they're kinda pricey, but worth it.  Got rid of those 
after-morning headaches.
