Bass players obsess over their amps, endlessly debating the merits of brands, configurations, size, strings, pick-ups, active, non-active and nearly every other conceivable detail. Yet, when it comes to the average show of decent size, the audience hears a DI. I maintain that your in-ear monitor quality is a decisive factor in a your performance. The FCS11B will let you hear and feel the nuances of your bass to allow you to be more comfortable and creative.  Drawback though, you'll be able to hear it when you need new strings.

WHAT ARE THE BEST EARPHONES?

Best bang for the buck earphone on the market today.

FCS-H3 Hybrid Three-Way In Ear Monitor $149 Delivered

A question that I hear a lot is, What are the best earphones? If you post the question, you will get 100 different answers. All claiming what they spent $500 on is the best! Theses individuals have limited experience except with ONE set of earphones and they have five hundred reasons why what they purchased is the best. 


There is NO such animal. The best for you might not be the best for someone else.  Each player has a different set of needs and there is not one earphone that covers them all. Call me and we'll walk through your instrument, vocal and music style, stage volume level, what you want in your mix etc. Then we’ll come up with the best earphone for you

Emails from Clients:


Hello Mike How are you?
I am writing to you because I need four more FCS11B IEMs. I let the other band members try them and they were really impressed with the quality and definition of the sound. The bass player has chosen you as his "personal hero" , cos this is the first time he hear his bass right, with no lack of low freqs! the same goes for the keyboard player, who asked me to order 2. Our singer was unable to use IEMs before, causing hearing fatigue and tinnitus due to excessive high frequencies (Shure). With the FCS she does up to three hours of rehearsals, without any problem.

I look forward to your reply. Best, Max (Italy)


FCS11B bass series really deliveries. Great sound, no ear fatigue after 4-hour gig. Worth 5x the price!! Truly an upgrade from my Shure IEMs. Cannot say enough, highly recommended. Mark Strong


Hi Mike, I am looking at buying my 2nd pair of your FCS11B. That said I’m going to be doing a summer run on bass. Order placed, the group I’m doing this run-on bass with has a JH audio endorsement and these guys complain about their ears all the time. You have the best bang for the buck. N Stone


“As a professional musician, (Percussion, Keys, Drums, Studio) I’ve found the FCS11B IEM’s to be a very powerful tool for live and studio applications. Snug fit for good isolation, long cord for tangle free movement and a great sonic balance. Well-built and nicely packaged. They are a great value!”  ~ Frank McGucken (Madrigal Percussionist)


“I love the sound of my FCS11B IEM’s! They have great low-end response, and they fit my ears perfectly. I use them both on and off stage.” - Josh Weinstein (Kat Wright, Burlington VT)


I play Bass in a band called Cheat ’n on Tucker and we recently made the switch to IEMs.  However, none of the brands that I tried at first gave me that low end sound that I needed to perform my best. After going through 4 or 5 different brands, I finally found the FCS 11 by Freq City Sound. Game. Changer. They are the bomb! The FCS 11’s have the perfect sound necessary for Drummers and Bass players to stay tight when they need it most.  If you’re looking for the low-end answer to the IEM question, these bad boys are it. 10/10. 

Craig Glazebrook / Bass player with Cheat ‘n on Tucker

 

I'm using the 11B's and love them! Great fit with the wide selection of tips included.

Richer, more clear bass than my Shure SE's in custom molds, and I'm finding I can now run at a more comfortable volume level and have zero ear fatigue after use.   "Exactly as described in description" is cliché but spot on for the FCS11B's!

"Several years ago, I bought the FCS210's and have loved them.  Received the FCS11B's for Christmas and put the 210’s away as spares.  The additional driver size work great for me and easily rival name brands priced 2-3 times more."  Dr. Nick Swink, church & freelance bassist Tipp City Ohio


Hi Mike,
the FCS-11 In-Ear Monitors arrived today. Wow! these are the best sounding iems I have heard by far. I am glad I did not go for the bass enhanced FCS11Bass, as these are perfect. The bass is massive but not boomy. The mids and highs are perfect and overall, they take eq well. If I want a different sound signature. One other great thing I have noticed is that the sound does not change when I move my head or open my mouth, both things that other iems I have tried are very prone to do. The FCS-11 is very consistent. They also don't irritate my tinnitus, which is a blessing.

Most of the tips you sent sound great, I've settled so far on the double flange that were on the phones when I received them.

Thanks, I will be recommending these to my musician friends. Cheers,

Ambrose / Toronto, Canada /Toronto Improvisor's Orchestra, Crash Vegas, The Polka Dogs


Hello Mike, 

I just received your incredible FCS-H3 In Ear Monitors and I am blown away.

I have used the tips that were already on the earphones and tried them with the song you attached.

Unbelievable! The bass is phenomenal; the middle is so clear and the top rings perfectly as it should.

I have then tried them on some of my large orchestral compositions and jazz quartet work I did a while back.

They sound better than they ever did! I will be using them all the time now on any new project I have, starting with a documentary I am scoring with my DAW.

Thank you, thank you. Best regards, FABRICE LECOMTE

 

Hey Mike and a Happy New Year 2024 to you and yours!!

I am ordering a pair of these beauties as they have got to be awesome after what I’ve read from the reviews on your website! My band members are using 3 of the other pairs of IEM’s that I have bought from you over the years and they all love them. So, I guess that you can say that we are a Mike Volkerding powered band! I was torn between the blue and black colors, both look very nice, but I decided to go with the blue as it is pretty sharp looking. Thanks for doing what you’ve done over the years Mike and for always responding with openness and kindness. Your Customer Service is a selling point all on its own, and not a lot of companies can say that AND mean it. Give me shout if you need anything, all the best to you in this New Year, Gary

 

Mike. These ear buds are fantastic!! I couldn’t believe the definition, clarity, and above all the LF drive I was getting from them. By far the best IEM’s I have ever heard. Far superior to my old Shure 846’s. 
Thank you, my friend.  Sandro / Full Force Sound & Light Production

  

Mike, the package was received and the H3’s are definitely punching above their weight class. Above that however, your directions and emailed audio track were exactly what I needed to get the best sound from them. Thank you for your time and customer service. In March/April returning for the MI-58 transmitter/receiver set.    Beau

 

Mike, Just listened to the FCS-H3....OMG WOW AMAZING. Kicks the shit out of my $1000 double bass Westones.  Arnie B.

 

Hi Mike, The FCS-H3 is a very nice portable headset.  At first blush, the reproduction of my recorded music is very familiar as are many of my recorded favorites.  Saying that ‘I sound like me’ is a good complement.  Saying that I can tell which of my trumpets was used on a recording, a big tip of the hat. Sound is not colorized, not predominating in any predominating part of the frequency spectrum.   Any criticism is by comparison to other headsets, and that would need to be qualified by saying that the FCS-H3 is at the higher end of my experience of quality of sound, particularly with an in-ear set.  There are modest mid and upper-mid attributes/driver slightly more efficiently transmitted than low end (acoustic bass), and extreme high end (snare crispiness, cymbal sizzle) that are more noticeable with the higher energy levels pieces.  Trumpet/sax/flute sounds very good. 

I anticipate that this set will suit me well on the stage; as a wind player, I often contend with stage volume issues, (typically guitarists and bass players) who often dominate both the mix, as well as stage volume and also the the low and low mid volume spectrum.  I also have occasion to work with orchestras in pop settings which opens up a whole raft of challenges, and I think these will be great for balance in the mix.

Best regards, Rex

 

Hey Mike, There's definitely a big sonic improvement over my Shure IEMs. I can actually hear the depth of the reverb and delay from a guitar tone. The hardshell case is also a nice touch and I have zero worries about taking these on the road. Thanks again!    Blade Geer

Mike, OMFG! Got my shipment of the FCS-H3’s today. Plugged them into my iPad and went through a bunch of tunes I have, switching tips till I found the most comfortable and best sealing. As you know, I’ve purchased several of your various low to mid-priced IEM’s. As a drummer, I like “feeling” the thump of the kick drum and bass guitar. Well, I have definitely found “MY” IEM’s. The FCS-H3 delivers that low punch I’ve been looking for. Any drummer, bass player or anyone looking for a set of buds that gives crystal clear mids and highs with a solid low end owes it to themselves to grab a pair of these IEM’s. Hands down the BEST purchase I’ve made through you. Thank you!
Dean Roussel


Hi Mike,FCS-H3 arrived today, and I just plugged them in and listened to that audio track you emailed. All I can say is WOW! I’m coming from Westone IEMs to the H3. Massive improvement. It’s hard to believe all this sound is coming from an earphone. It’s unreal. Steve / LA

 

Mike, They perform way beyond their price point. My Shure's are harsh at times.  These are well balanced and not harsh.  Plenty of low end, they do not need any low-end help at all.  I ran the EQ flat on my mix.  Bass guitar sounded like it should.  I don't pound the low end, my set up is more Ampegish with clear mids/Assorted American Fender Jazz Basses.  My voice was clear and centered.  It was perfect and I could hear everything without cranking it to the ceiling. 

Thank you for your time.  You have a great product here!   Todd 

 

Hey Mike ,Bruce,,,I gotta thank you for putting your technical knowledge,painstaking time,and expertise into,building the perfect ear monitors,the FCS-H3..Amazing my friend.That 10mm dynamic driver along with the 2 armature drivers,let you feel and hear the music the way it was written,as a drummer,singer the FCS-H3 ,let’s me feel my kick and toms,the sizzle of the cymbals,the crack and body of my snare,and the crispness of our vocals.Very comfortable to wear,no ear fatigue,no slippage,once the seal is established,the sound not only gets huge,but dialed in to what the music should sound like,I’ll be recommending these to all my S.Florida musician friends,thanks again Merry Christmas to you and yours,and your crew sincerely, Bruce Gross. Boca Raton, FL
