IEM is a term for earphones with silicone tips, and it comes from In Ear Monitor. Most of silicone tips IEMS were designed for musicians, and only recently they became available for enthusiasts and audiophiles to enjoy. Most IEMs will have multiple sizes of tips included and interesting technology like crossovers, multiple drivers, acoustic chambers, and will leak much less of your music than headphones. Comfort is usually worse with IEMs than it is with full sized headphones.
