Certainly, and I wonder why custom fit earphones are not more popular. They are a bit expensive but many people don't mind paying more than $200 on headphones and that's about how much entry level custom molded earphones cost.
I didn't try them but I have custom molded earplugs, and there is no comparison to anything else I have tried. They are comfortable and they stay in place. They are the kind that musicians use and they are optimized for low distortion, but you can use a different filter, because they seal so well, you really get the sound you want, and not whatever is allowed to leak.

- disabled 5y agoThere is a subreddit for DIY in ear monitors. Pay close attention to the first post on this page in particular: https://www.reddit.com/r/DIEMs/comments/kfdwf5/made_my_first_3d_printed_shells_with_an_iphone_11/ https://www.reddit.com/r/DIEMs/comments/kfdwf5/made_my_first... However, you do not need a 3D printer at all to make wonderful in ear monitors. Also, I prefer clear shells (as a color for the headphones) by far. It is also not difficult to make proper ear impressions, too. See this for example: http://static.speedwaymotors.com/pdf/910150509.pdf http://static.speedwaymotors.com/pdf/910150509.pdf However, this was my basic search technique to find this document about making your own ear impressions: "impressions" AND "ear" AND "bite block" AND "make" filetype:pdf I made a post that is lower down on this thread that gives the 411 on everything you need to know including using them with a phone that does not have a 3.5 mm jack. This includes for microphone use, like making phone calls.
