RE: in-Ear Monitors?

i've also heard this from some folks about the problems with wireless, but
for me, i'm more afraid of whose controlling the volume of those in-ear
monitors?  A good blast from an engineer inexperienced with wireless and
in-ear systems could take your musical career down a very short road, don't
you think?  Or is there some sort of compression/limiting device in the
earpiece?  If not, i wouldn't put those things in my ears unless it was MY
soundman (which to date, i've never had...) or if i was really familiar
with the gear/room/etc.

On a positive note, i recently had custom molded earplugs made for me, and
from what i understand, you can use these same molds to create the
earpieces for in-ear monitor systems.  They are terribly comfy...
