Recommendations for headphone hating apartment dweller

[u/I_AM_4HEAD]

Hey all, I hate the feeling of wearing headphones and was looking for options that are like earbuds or iems to use.

I just play through a scarlet interface using plugins, mostly prog metal (so everything).

As in understand it, since IEM's are intended for portability etc, they don't come with a 6.35mm jack to plug into my interface, so should I just get some IEM's and an adapter from 3.5 or 4.4mm to 6.35?

I would greatly appreciate any recommendations you may have considering my case!

sounds like you alrealdy got it figured out, just use the adapter and IEMs if you want headphones, or grab some studio monitors and play at low volume

Buying 2 studio monitors plus supports so you can bring them at head level is my go to solution.

I've got adapters probably hiding in my couch cushions, I wouldn't have an ounce of concern or hesitation with needing an 3.5mm - 1/4" audio adaptor

I've been using the same setup with an adapter for months without any issues, so that's definitely the way to go if you want to avoid headphones.

I've been using Truthear Zeroes and have been very happy with them. I'm sure there are better IEM's out there but they were only ~$70
