Second-Generation IEMs from Paradigm
Paradigm's inclination for research and development is renowned. For its in-ear monitors, the company used an advanced head and torso manikin as a human simulator, for "measuring sonic properties and the effect of sound on the ear, while helping with ergonomic design and perfecting frequency response." Both the E3i and E2i come with a microphone for making

models is in the low frequencies, with the E3i offering deeper bass.
