Surging as a surprisingly perfect Christmas gift, in-ear monitors (IEMs) have quietly dethroned wired earbuds and become the sound tech of choice for gamers, commuters, and anyone who wants the world to kindly hush. Because they sit deeper in the ear canal, a perfect fit is crucial for blocking noise. Enter 3D printing. Affordable IEM brand EPZ now says it's offering custom, ear-canal-specific 3D-printed resin shells across its lineup—just swing by an audiologist for professional ear impressions.
