IEMs are a great solution, but expensive and unreliable. I've had a series of them and they all failed under use. Wireless systems are prone to interference. Hard-wired boxes are far more dependable. And most important to me, relatively cheap. These two are both priced at $250...

Lots of improvements to IEM's in the last couple of years. Still expensive but reliable gear.

I like the Galaxy Hotspots for what you're seeking. They sound better than I expected 150 HZ - 18 kHZ.

Be careful with your hearing...
Last time I sat in with some previous bandmates (playing keys), the keyboard/guitar player had a hot-spot (similar unit) and the upper-mids were like an ice-pick. It was cranked to ear bleeding levels and was painful to endure.

+1, I think that is my ultimate concern as well. The IEM will also attenuate up to 37dB if fitted properly, just the leash for wired ones is a bit short.

I used a pair of Galaxy Hot Spots for 20 years for my 5 piece group. Then for the last 5 used an OEM (small wired headphone) for my vocal. It worked well.

I bought the Behringer when it came out. It has worked pretty well for me. I thought about the Mackie product but Guitar Center in Southcenter didn't have one at the time I needed it. Good sound and no issues on my unit.

I'd suggest a pair of M audio BX5A's. The only issue would be physical damage to the drivers. They don't have covers - so you may need to make some. I find that they sound just right at close proximity and have plenty of power.
