NEW EM-i5 Frameless Headsets
THE HEADSET WITHOUT THE HEADBAND
A frameless headset designed to fit people. The new EM-i5 adapts to different head sizes, ear shapes and hairstyles so you can run intercom, camera, or wireless mics with IEM—in one ear or both, from a single wearable.
One Ear or Two?
With no headband in the way, you decide how many ears go on comms without needing to switch or choose a different headset. Our patent-pending Signal Integration Module lets one headset do both jobs.
Situational Awareness
Keep comms in one ear and the room in the other, so you can hear your crew, your talent, and your surroundings.

Follow the signal from ear to connector.
The EM-i5 is modular from connector to earphone, so the headset can change with the job.

Customizable In-ears
The included earphones detach, so you can swap in your preferred custom in-ear monitors for a personalized fit and listening experience, with full system compatibility. MMCX connection is standard, but optional adapters provide for seamless compatibility to your CIEM connection.
Condenser Microphone
Cardioid noise-cancelling microphone delivers speech clarity in a slim and lightweight form-factor. Designed for left side wearing.
Signal Integration Module (Patent pending)
This is where one headset offers two applications: The modularity enables dual-ear isolated monitoring or single-ear situational awareness in one device.
One Headset.
Multiple Connections.
A complete ecosystem of cables and adapters to fit your needs.

Prefer a Headband?
The CM-i3 and CM-i5 lightweight in-ear headsets have been helping production teams take the weight off since 2017. If a traditional headband is more your style, check the CM-i3 and CM-i5, offering the same in-ear comfort as the EM-i5.
