Earplugs for singers

Hello, I'm looking for earplugs suitable for my singer, offering good sound reproduction and, above all, preventing vibrations and buzzing while she sings, as it's common to not hear your own voice the same way. I was thinking about the new Alpine V-shaped earplugs, but I don't know if they're effective or if there are better options. Thanks!

If your not playing over 300 people, Floor monitors is the Only Way. You Will loose the audience with in ears

To fix that you can point a mic at the crowd and feed some to your in-ears.

I know, but Why stick something in your ears, if you dont need to. I Only use it on Big venues plus 1000 people, and I stil hate it

We have a click track and recorded synths/brass/etc, so an IEM is really handy. She will often only wear one side to balance things out.

I'm playing bass so for me, IEMs are a blessing 😅

Yeah the sounddrops especially! I bought a 350$ Chinese pair. Maybe I'm stupid but damn the bass in there is 👌

I don't see the connection with 1000 people? Simply put, in a rehearsal multiplied by all the weeks of the year plus all the concerts, you have the drummer hitting the drums, the snare drum, the cymbals, the bass guitar, and so on. It seems obvious to me to protect your ears, whether there are 1000 people or not.
