On Friday, July 7th, Brian and Session Ace released their newest in-ear monitor: The Session Ace ESA: Version 3, a Nine-Driver Hybrid, Universal Fit In-Ear Monitor for musicians. The new in-ear monitor is intended for any on-stage live performers or in-studio recording musicians.
Brian explains, “Almost a year ago, I began working with the guys at the factory on a new IEM. At the time, I wanted create a listening experience I’d never heard in any other in-ear monitor. With the EST and then-current ESA models, we’d made something that is the clearest, most accurate listening experience any musician could hope for, both in the studio and on stage.
But, I thought we could do something better! What if we create an in-ear monitor that was larger than life? Something that was actually BETTER than real life? After almost a year of prototypes and real world testing, I believe we’ve made something even better than our initial intentions.”
There will only be 500 units sold in this pre-order phase at a special price of $425 (+shipping). Once those initial 500 units are sold, the price will immediately increase to its permanent $549.99 price.
In addition to the IEM’s, the package comes will an impressive accessory package including including COMPLY-brand Sport Pro Premium Memory Foam ear tips and a special premium PELICAN water-proof, impact-resistant, vault-styled earphone case.
These new version of the tried-and-true ESA model allows features three new colors: Dark Blue, Smooth Silver, and a Special Edition Gold & Black two-toned model.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The ESA Version 3.0 comes with a brand new sound profile that could best be described as “Larger Than Life”. The sound has been tailored to give you everything that you need in an on-stage in-ear monitor:
- Hefty low-end that isn’t “muddy” or “tubby”
- Detailed mid’s that allow sources like vocals, guitars, and keyboards to have natural presence in your mix without the need for extra EQ’ing.
- Smooth high’s with plenty of “air” and clarity but that will NOT be overly hyped (which would cause excessive sibilance and harshness)
The new ESA Version 3’s contoured and smooth Universal Fit earpiece fits almost anyone’s ear with a comfort and fit rivaling the best custom-fitted IEM’s. The sleek, CNC machined surface locks the earpiece in place, assuring that it will stay there even with the most vigorous of on-stage movements. Made from 7 -Series aviation class aluminum, these IEM’s are built to withstand the rough and tumble world of the road while remaining lighter than similar-sized competitor’s products.
