Abstract
Generic adjustable in-ear monitors (IEMs) may suffer from a limited range of resilient ear plugs that may not adequately fit each user, and the user may prefer different ear plugs for different purposes (e.g., the user's interest in secure fitment may be higher when exercising, while the user's interest in comfort may be higher when the user is relaxing). The presently disclosed technology is directed to IEMs that permit a user to adjust without removing and replacing an associated ear plug. Instead, the ear plug is adjustable by the user to achieve a desired fit and may be adjusted repeatedly for different desired fits and/or different users.
