The Logic Off Topic list

Does anyone use in-ear monitoring instead of headphones for mic  
recording? I think of getting good in-ear phones (cabled) and get rid  
of the big thing on the head and the leakage to the mic (even with  
closed headphones).

Are in-ears are comfortable enough, do they deliver a usable sound  
quality to get into the right mood even for fragile songs? Do they  
provide less leakage? What do singers say to that kind of monitoring  
- do they feel more free or more "plugged"?
