IEMs with 3-5 Drivers offer improved sound dynamics and can reveal more details from your music. These types of IEMs feature a hybrid driver configuration consisting of a mix between Dynamic Drivers, Balanced Armatures, or Electrostatic Drivers, allowing manufacturers greater control over an IEM’s tuning and sound signature. 

Browse through our collection of IEMs with 3-5 Drivers from premium audio brands like 64Audio, Noble Audio, Empire Ears, FiR Audio, and THIEAUDIO, and find the best in-ear monitor for your sound preferences. 

How many drivers does an in-ear monitor have?

An in-ear monitor can have anywhere from one to eighteen drivers per side, but driver count depends heavily on the manufacturer’s target specs and sound signature. Single-driver IEMs typically have a single dynamic driver, while multi-driver IEMs can combine dynamic drivers, balanced armatures, and electrostatic drivers in a single shell. 

While having more drivers in an IEM can help with sound performance, tuning, and fit play an even more important role in producing great sound. 

A well-tuned single dynamic driver can sound better than a poorly-optimized multi-driver IEM. On the other hand, an IEM that offers a perfect fit can help give you a satisfying, full-sounding experience, while poorly-fitting sets can lead to discomfort and poor sound.

5-Driver In-Ear Monitor for Studio Mixing

Price: $1,099.00

Flat tuning with incredible resolution for serious studio mixing work

With 5 drivers inside each shell, the ESR MKII delivers a true studio-reference sound with incredible clarity and precision, making it a great choice for studio work or on-stage monitoring. 

Powering the ESR MKII’s accurate sound is a Balanced Armature + Electrostatic Driver hybrid setup. Three Balanced Armatures handle the bass, midrange, and treble, respectively, while two EST drivers handle the super-high frequencies. The result is a snappy and precise sound with excellent clarity and detail retrieval - the perfect combination for serious studio editing work. 

Bass is fast, lean, and punchy on the ESR MKII IEM. There’s a good sub-bass presence whenever the track calls for it, but it never overwhelms the rest of the mix, which results in a clean and textured bass response. 

The midrange is incredibly accurate and clear on the ESR MKII. Voices sound very detailed and intimate - you feel like the artist is singing in front of you. Instruments are rendered with wonderful tone and detail, and instruments like electric guitars are reproduced with satisfying texture and definition. 

The EST drivers work wonders for the Empire Ears ESR MK2’s treble. You get a well-extended yet smooth treble extension that adds decent sparkle and air to every track. The generous treble extension helps separate sounds from each other, allowing you to pick out sounds from music effortlessly. 

Comfort and fit is great with the ESR MK2. The ergonomic shells sit nicely in your ears and the lightweight feel allows you to wear these IEMs for extended periods without discomfort. 

Overall, the Empire Ears ESR MKII’s precise sound and comfortable fit make it a comfortable in-ear monitor for long editing hours in the studio or at home.

IEM with 3-5 Drivers Under $1000

Noble Audio Stage 3 IEM

Price: $600.00

Clean and detailed sound signature reveals details from your music you've never heard before

The Noble Audio Stage 3 is a performance IEM bargain, offering precise sound with excellent comfort for that next-level music listening experience. 

The Stage 3 packs just three drivers under its shells - a single Dynamic Driver for the bass and two Balanced Armatures for the midrange and treble. All three drivers are tuned to deliver that fast, clean, detailed sound Noble Audio is known for. 

The bass of the Stage 3 is fast, punchy, and textured. There’s enough sub-bass presence to give a satisfying rumble in sub-bass heavy tunes, but the presentation is kept tight and clean for a more precise sound. The snappy bass response is perfect for fast-paced beats like EDM and House Music, offering good note separation and improved clarity in the low-end. 

The midrange is very clean and detailed on Stage 3. The slight upper-midrange emphasis pushes vocals and instruments to the front of the Stage, which creates a more intimate and detailed sound - you’ll feel like the artist is in front of you. The same midrange emphasis reveals details you’ve never heard before. Guitar plucks, strums, and taps are rendered with life-like clarity, further enhancing your sense of immersion. 

The treble is well-extended, sparkly, and airy on the Stage 3. The generous treble extension adds a sense of clarity and detail to your favorite tunes while adding a sense of space and separation between instruments. 

Comfort is also a high point with Stage 3. The Stage 3's sleek black shells are small and lightweight, so fit is a no-brainer even if you have smaller ears, while the high-quality stainless steel nozzles help enhance fit and seal. 

The Stage 3 cable is also worth mentioning, offering swappable terminations and a lightweight yet high-quality feel that’s easy to wear. Plug into any source without worrying about which terminations you need - Stage 3 has you covered.

My new favorite audio store - everything I missed in a local store

It's such a pleasure doing business with Adam and Lauren that I am honestly looking for an excuse to buy more equipment there. I don't really have a good personal audio store anywhere around; and while I am not exactly morally opposed to Amazon or whatever, it's so much nicer dealing with real people and a small business. I cannot even imagine what else I could ask for.

Great work, to communicate every step along the way. Very personal touch. I will visit the office one day to personally thank them. I love the website. I love the product. I love the state where they are located. Awesome awesome awesome!

Great purchase

Everything went really smoothly and I'm enjoying the headset I purchased. It shipped quickly and arrived well packaged. I had a question about my purchase and received a quick response from the seller. I would buy from HiFiSoundGear again.

Unexpected surprise!!

Unexpected as in very pleasantly surprised at the sound quality coming out of these :)

I took my Mega5-EST and hooked em up wirelessly and don't miss the wire sound AT ALL!! IMO the wireless sound was 98% of the wired sound without the PIA of the wire. Unless you have some amazing source gear, which thanks to Adam at hifisoundgear I do, you would be hard pressed to hear a massive difference. Especially with a phone as your source.

I did A/B noble Fokus Prestige vs Go pod w Mega 5 and gotta say l, there is more balanced sound with the Go pod chain then the Prestige on its own. To be fair the Mega 5 punches WAY above its price... so the 2 are a match made in heaven.

I find the connection very stable as well. I've used my iPhone AAC/SBC as well as with FiiO BT11 to get other than Apple codecs and was pleasantly surprised as well.

The ear hooks are very comfortable. Actually prefer them to the wire hanging over my ear with a tie behind my neck. For some reason that's hard to get used to and pulls as I wear loose shirts. The hooks stay in as I like to move around a bit. Also the weight is better distributed than other wireless IEMs as the components are in the hooks. The prestige, unless I have foam tips, which I'm not a fan of, will pop out of my ears when I move around. These stay stable and I do not have to re-seat the IEMs to get that great bass nearly as often with other wireless IEMs.

Battery level has been all day 10 hrs so far with intermittent breaks and still have 28% left.

The case also is deep enough to fit the Mega w hooks as it charges which is very convenient. Some IEMs may be too big but they fit with a tad bit of room to spare.

Of course having the flexibility to swap out your favorite IEMs as needed is awesome!!

5 stars for the Go pod and more importantly 5 stars to Adam and his team for such amazingly awesome customer service!! You guys ROCK!! Thanks :)

Don't believe everything you "hear"

The iFi Audio iDSD Diablo 2 is an absolute masterpiece in the world of portable amps. It delivers an audio experience that redefines what’s possible in a compact, travel-friendly device.

To all the "haters" out there who mention that the 5180mw output is an overstatement and the "balanced" is not a true balanced output... I say whatever... it drives anything I throw at it with aplomb! FostexTH900mk2, ZMF Caldera Open and Closed, ANY IEM my friends and I have tried ...too many to list. If you need more power than this portable titan.... well you may have hearing loss. And it drives all I mentioned without using "beast mode" (they refer to it as Nitro (1 of 3 settings)). If anything, it could use a lower gain option / IEM match for some sensitive IEMs.

The implementation of BT 5.4 (supports all codecs) is a welcomed addition for quality, but in general, the distance it can be from the source is very small for consistency. That is not a Diablo issue, but a BT5.4 issue IMO.

As for the sound quality...simply unparalleled. I have compared this to desktop headphone amps in the same price range and I would put it toe to toe with them. It even ran close to my buddy's Burson Soloist 3x!!! and the Diablo 2 is portable :)

I run it using A&K SP3000T and it oozes warmth and richness in the lows and highs WITHOUT covering/smoothing anything up in the mids, which is my jam.

It is on the heavier side and will still fit in a pocket... barely. built like a brick. At the limit of what I would like to carry but totally worth it! I get about 6 hours of the 8 rated battery with constant listening, no Bluetooth on, hard wired, IEMs / Caldera tested on the battery life.

In conclusion, the iFi Audio iDSD Diablo 2 is nothing short of extraordinary. It’s the ultimate portable amp for those who refuse to compromise on sound quality, power, or versatility. If you’re serious about your audio and want the best experience on the go, the Diablo 2 is the perfect choice.

Shout out to Adam, a massive THANK YOU!!! for your absolutely OVER THE TOP customer service and shopping experience :) :) Seriously, your dedication and attention to detail have been nothing short of exceptional.

Best service

With all the online ordering over the years, HifiSoundGear provides the best service I have encountered. It was as though they were good friends. They responded so nicely to all my questions about the product and shipment. As it works out, while I liked the IEM's, I concluded they were not sufficiently different from the ones i had been using. Again, for the process of returning and getting a refund, they could not have been nicer. Buying from them was a first rate experience.

Excellent Service!

Recently had a great experience with Adam and Laura. I requested a price match for the FiR KR5 and it was such a painless process. Adam and Laura’s communication is top notch! Adam even sent me a personal thank you video. In my experience, this level of service is hard to come by these days. I highly recommend going through HifiSoundgear for your audio needs….I know I will be going forward! Thanks Adam and Laura!

Absolutely breathtaking customer service!

The quality of service, level of help provided, and overall customer satisfaction is beyond anything I have experienced. I cannot say enough good things about the people who belong to this company!

As for the U4S, these are my first foray into 64 Audio but I am SO thankful that I got to experience them! My goodness the soundstage, bass response from the m15 module, and overall quality is just great!

Please, buy from these wonderful people! And if you can swing it, get a set of U4S! You will not regret it!

Only complaint is the cable. For the price, I expected better, but it works well and is just fine.

Thank you HiFi Sound Gear! I look forward to purchasing more from you in the future!

Incredible Product And Service

These are the closest TWS gets to pure IEM listening. You get the wide soundstage. They scale quickly. They have that satisfying bass slam often missing in TWS. The layering is just right and resolution is mesmerizing. Oh yes, you get the convenience of taking them on the go and they are truly comfortable. Noble has achieved a superior status in my eyes with the FoKus Prestige. I look forward to listening to them on my walks when I don’t have to take my DAP. Adam is one of the greats in this business. His commitment to customer service is exceptional. You aren’t a customer, but a client. He helped me after losing my first pair and just went above and beyond to ensure that I was shipped a new pair in less than two days. I am completely satisfied and impressed. You will be too. Thank you and looking forward to my future purchases from your establishment.
