In this video Sammy asks questions about in ear monitors, and the difference between armatures and voice coil drivers while we drink Moscow Mules.

The father-daughter duo discusses in-ear monitors and what makes them different from normal headphones. The father explains the difference between balanced armatures and voice coil drivers, with the latter being found in normal headphones and earbuds. He goes on to explain the basic structure of a speaker and how it generates sound. They tease an upcoming video where they will demonstrate different types of drivers and let viewers hear the differences.

They discuss the inner workings of speakers and in-ear monitors. The father talks about how old phonograph needles and records work and how it could be used to create a homemade speaker. They also talk about the differences between armature and voice coil driver systems in in-ear monitors and how there is no definitive better or worse option between the two. While both similarly priced and aged, most consumer audio tends to be voice coil driver based.

The conversation shifts to in-ear monitors and the various types available. The driver-based advantage of the voice coil is its simplicity and familiarity of sound, whereas the armature design typically used in higher-end in-ear monitors requires a venting system, which can cause bleed from the outside world. The armature design, however, can be better for the low end, while the voice coil design struggles in this area without a vent. The conversation also covers how in-ears are used in professional settings and how they are now making their way into consumer markets. Different materials used in the construction of in-ear monitors, including copper and silver, are also discussed.

They chat about the composition of in-ear monitors, with the daughter speculating that they may contain silver and copper, which turns green when exposed to moisture. The father acknowledges her observations and notes that artist sweat can penetrate the monitors. They end the video by emphasizing the importance of family time and thanking their viewers for watching.
