BlueCrownedmore recently, "in-ear monitor" seems to be turning into a buzz-term to make standard in-ear headphones/earbuds appear to be more high-end.

DaveTheBrassmanYeah. IEM used to refer to a high-end earbud which provided a similar quality of sound to headphones, so could potentially (though not often) be used as reference headphones.
Now, it's just another term for earbuds, although mass drop seems to be trying to correctly term them.
