As someone who occasionally runs live sound for bands, I’m going to have to go with in-ears. Especially for vocalists or bands who have hard-hitting drummers. :cool:
 
I was talking to a mons engineer last month who said he did a silent disco with the band he was with. Had an electric kit with in-ear mons and amp modelling on the guitars. All you could hear on stage was the thwacking of the electric kit!
 
I'd love to go with IEM's, but we're on a budget...

Another vote for in-ears, plus you will still be able to hear when you turn 60.

not if you turn your pack all the way up! our drummer has his pack usually on 9 almost every night, it is absolutely ridiculous, while i have mine barely past 3.5. i see advantages of wedges and in ears, but we also have a dedicated monitor engineer so for us ears are much easier. personally my favorite combo is in ears, and then kick and bass through the side fills, so i can hear everything perfectly in my mix but also feel it which is a huge must for me. nothing takes the rock out of a show like not being able to feel the music.
