I love my Sony Izone but a negative with it being wireless is if battery dies. Can’t play and charge at same time. Where wireless headsets can. But I was surprised that sounds were easier to pin point better. Headsets I just get better bass feeling.
actually I have mi first IEMs (kz zs10 pro x i think they were called) and i was expecting less fot the price (50€), they sound just amazing, deep bass, not distorsion in the sound of the voices like in anterior experiences with normal headphones. Now about gaming, they are just like the example he said in the video, they have a really good perception of the direction of the sound (idk how to explain it) but you cant say if something its sounding from above or under U, anyways i dont regret anything and cant complain for the price than for me its really cheap for what u get
If you don't like IEMs for gaming and want actual headphones look for "studio" headphones, they don't really have "soundstage" but have a more neutral sound which is good for games where you need to hear where footsteps or where gunfire is coming from.
"earbuds are better for comfort" okay but that's suuuuuuper preferential. I'd rather have earmuffs surrounding my ears than an earbud poking into my ear literally any day. if your headphones are hurting your ears, the shape and size of the earmuffs is probablt wrong and you should get a different headset
i feel the same way, i just CANT belive that overears are less comfy then in ears, just doesnt make any sense, i use both i would allways take over ears all day over in ears.
Once I got into using IEMs I could not go back to gaming headsets or just headphones in general. They're just so much more comfortable when you're used to them, they sound so much better, and I've been able to hear things in-game better than I did with headsets. IEMs have also been so much more stylish, which is also very nice. Also, memory foam tips are super comfortable and help improve sound isolation and bass, which I am in love with.
@@ohji_ Right now I've been using Moondrop Aria. I'm thinking of trying out either the 7hz Sonus or the Moondrop May next. I also used the Crinacle Zero in blue for a while which is also great, but I like how much louder the Aria gets.
I would say the sound is the biggest thing about iems I use truthear zerobut it needs a Apple usbc to aux I Donno why but useing this makes the sound 20% louder dose anyone know way that is I hear it’s cuz it has a built in ec?
Honestly, HyperX Clouds are very well optimized for CS, i've been called a wallhacker because i've heard stuff others don't. But sound like sh&t in general just like most other headsets. IEM's, i don't get some of the sound q's in-game but sound quality is superior overall, much clearer and comfort levels are so much better than heavy headset that strains your neck in an hour and squeezes your head like a lemon giving you a headache.
DONT use IEMs they are only meant for critical listening , use over ear headphone (ye studio headphones like 770 pro but you need mic .) I once used IEM (Moon drop Aria )for playing Valorant , no doubt you will get a perfect sound but the pressure they create specialty during a gun shot may temporarily or permanently deafen you , I was deaf for a day and recovered over sleep after just a gaming session of 1 hrs so please Do Not use IEM for Gaming . thank you !
@@Tommy-te2lgI think he is right you need to try it, to believe weather you experience temporary deafness or not ,may be you don't have sensitive hearing like me !
IEMs are the best for gaming for me. Its much more lighter and I can hear footsteps more clearer than some of my friends that wear headphones (but maybe their hearing just suck haha). I can notice more nuances to sounds compared to when I wore headphones (both IEM and headphone were of the same price)
IEMs are amazing, but the price for low latency wireless ones are above my comfort zone. So I'll stick with headphones, also the comfort for long sessions is fine with me, it only becomes a problem and less comfortable above the 12 hour mark for me
I use IEM’s from my session musician days, the sound quality is tonnes better than any gaming headset. If you game daily, it’s best to use over ears some of the time otherwise your ear becomes a Petri dish and you’ll find your ears feeling gunky and clogged after a couple of weeks of constant use
I think you maybe misunderstand something. IEMs have such 'clarity' mainly because of typcially much higher sensitivity and lower impedance than headphones. Most IEMs are literally 10ohms or less of impedance with sensitivities in excess of 110db. This means they don't need any sort of amping for hitting full soundstage and clarity, while most headphones bottom out at 32ohms impedance and are most frequently in the 90-100 range on sensitivity. This is why many 'gaming headphones' come with a usb dac+amp of some kind. It's also why many IEMs run into noise floors and hiss that requires a DAC or sometimes even an impedance adaptor of some kind to silence it. With over ear headphones, you need more power to fuel them. Without that power, you get more limited soundstage and clarity. They are also more effected by the cup shape,material, and the literal shape of your ears than IEMs are. For IEMs, so long as the seal is good, the tip pad is basically irrelevant aside comfort. Not so much on over ears. On ears are a different ball of wax entirely. There's also the issue of a lot of the common 'gaming headsets' being closed back, which tends to result in narrower soundstage and flawed imaging. You have to look at brands typically more 'non-gamer' to see open-back 'gamer headsets'. There's also issues with gamer-marketed headsets having tuning designed to emphasize certain ranges in frequency, that actually tend to just muddy things horribly, and many of the 'comes with the device' USB DAC/AMP things are actually hot garbo that do additional processing instead of just sending the signal. This gets worse as your budget drops, ftr. You'll find a LOT of benefit with even low tier 'gaming headphones' by adding a DAC into the mix. If you want good imaging, soundstage, and clarity out of headphones, you need to be looking at 'reference monitors' or 'studio headphones'. Even DT770 tends to be a massive step up in imaging over the typical 'gamer headset', and it's considered the 'king of entry level' for that, and that's with it being hampered by being closed back.
@@kapikopi It does not mean more 'bass clarity'. It means it's easier to get stronger bass. But it is not inherent that open backs have bad or muddy bass.
If you are spending +150€ at headphones just make a mold of your ear canal and use it with your in ear. Thats the best confort you can have. it doesnt hurt and usually volume is much less cause they isolate from noise. Also isolation plays a HUGE role in bass with headphones. My shure SE215 have stupid bass with instruments. They dont have it with music or gaming, maybe Id have to tweak EQ to get it. My thought is that its response isnt made for postproduced music or gaming
@@Tommy-te2lg No clue dude, Ive only had some crappy ones and my shure 215 (around 100€) The guy that posted the video has some cheap and more expensive recomendations. My only recomendation is to use the foam adaptors and not rubber. If it is dense foam even better. Mine gained a huge boost in bass with that isolation
The only problem I'm facing with using IEMs is that my earwax, no cap, will literally crawl from inside the buds down to the wire's internals and into the headphone's circuitry. Still loved how it changed my experience in music listening compared to regular earbuds. And of course, I use the notorious EQ APO & HeSuVi
I got the raptgo hook x hbb for almost 2 years. And sometimes the right ear piece is losing audio I have to plug and unplug from my astro mixamp pro. I'm scared to buy another one and it might sound different :(
You wear them for a long time, and you'll feel pain in the canal. You risk infection from your grimy gamer hands into the ear. You risk hearing loss. The sound doesn't dissipate anywhere. All that pressure is directly hitting your drums. You get that internal sound like you blood or when you humm (thunder rumbling) sound constantly. I suggest get a mx500 clone instead like Vido or yincrow x6.
Considering how much u talk about comfort in this video u should research the Koss KSC75's. They are exceptional on-ears. Put them on a comfortable headband & u can wear em all day without even noticing that u are. Its like high quality sound just materializes in ur ears. Edit: I should have realized someone mentioned that already. they have a cult like following for a reason :D
I've never had issues with comfort with headphones, to a degree i feel they are non issues and just like IEM's you need to look at what fits you best , not all ears are the same and not all heads are the same size .
See that's my one problem with headphones. I wear glasses and my ears get crushed. Can only game a few hours until I can't go any further. Now I'm torn between item's. Which are the best.
@@DavidfromMichigan I my self wear glasses. I found soft ear cuffs work best so they don't press to hrd against the side of your head on the glasses . Some are a bit too stiff and end up being bothersome z but I like the ones I got .
Just because it sticks in your ear, doesn’t make it an in ear monitor. Real IEM’s have a flat response so that they don’t color the sound of a musicians instrument or vocal. Most in ear “headphones” are going to have a big boost from around 60 to 100Hz to make up for low frequencies that tiny drivers are unable to reproduce. There is no way any kind of in ear headphone or monitor is going to outperform a good pair of over ear headphones. There is more frequency spectrum with over ears, bigger drivers and a better seal. You would be better off with over ear headphones and running some type of a pre-EQ filter to scoop out undesirable frequencies, roll off low end and boost higher frequencies where foot steps and things like that fall in the frequency spectrum.
@Bobby_Uterus this video is mainly aimed at the people who buy mainstream gaming headphones like from razer. Also we're talking mostly at the budget end of headphones, which imo, iems will always win because it's so easy to make them
I’m still gonna have to disagree with you. Cheap in ear headphones may sound better to you than over ear headphones because cheap IEM and even expensive IEM cut off a bunch of the low frequencies. It’s impossible for the little drivers to reproduce them. Those low end frequencies may be cluttering what you’re hearing in your game with over-ears but can easily be EQ out. The smaller in ear headphones cannot reproduce these frequencies at all. I think using an EQ would be more beneficial on a sealed pair of over-ears. I also don’t see how sticking something in your ears is more comfortable than an over ear. I guess it’s just preference.
@Bobby_Uterus I mean, I feel like, let's say, for $50, you can get a lot from iems, but I feel like there is no great option for headphones. Of course, at $200 and up, then that may be different, but at the very low end where most gamers want, iems are just a better value proposition.
@@epicardsdotcom1300 I’m not a gamer. I use Westone Audio AM Pro X30s for music performance. Look at the Shure SE112 or maybe the Shure SE215 if you want IEMs for whatever reason. I’d go with a company that actually makes other music production products. Not a company that no one has ever heard of.
I use IEM for live performance stuff and the one issue is ear wax build up and it can literally clog the sound canals. Other than that they are great! (Just clean your ears before use if you want to avoid this as much as possible)
I would actually recommend something neutral sounding because yes those gaming focused IEMs might have a lot of bass but depending on what game you play high frequency sounds might also be very important for you. And you can always tune your neutral sounding IEMs to have that bass boost if you want to.
@@JohnMontello I honestly don’t know. As I said I am not really into gaming focused IEMs and I instead like something with neutral sound signature and with nice and clear sound.
@@Tommy-te2lgI personally use Sennheiser IE 200 for both listening to music and gaming. They’re not gaming IEMs but they deliver excellent sound in my opinion. Some reviewers on the internet say that you need to put tape over the nozzle of each IEM because they leak a lot of bass but that is something I don’t have problems with so maybe (if that was an issue) they fixed it by the time I bought my pair….I don’t know. Also they say that cable is an absolute piece of garbage. And I must agree that the cable doesn’t feel premium at all especially for the price but cable is a cable and as long as it works I don’t really plan replacing it. That cable is also noisy meaning that you’ll hear it rubbing against anything. As far as the packaging goes you’ll find IEMs themselves, some user manual, a small pouch (for storing your IEMs) and 3 sizes of silicone ear tips (with medium size ones already installed) as well as 3 sizes of foam ear tips (All silicone as well as foam ear tips have special filters in them that prevent ear wax from getting into the nozzle). Again Chinese brands offer more stuff for this kind of price when it comes to the accessories you get in the packaging but I bought my IEMs because of nothing else but sound quality cause that’s what matters to me the most. Not to mention that they are super comfortable due to their small size. So yeah IE 200 are my IEMs of choice despite all negatives I mentioned here.
I am an audio professional and I can tell you that some of these points are incorrect. “Bigger is better” is 100% true in the case of audio. Bigger speakers (sometimes even of worse quality) will sound better. As an audio guy, I would not recommend an entry audiophile to start with IEMs, high end IEMs get expensive faster than headphones do. You can get really solid music headphones for under 100 dollars and they will likely sound better than cheap IEMs. In regards to gaming, I get his point. Gaming headphones are marked up a lot and usually focus on features that aren’t audio. In regards to convenience, I much prefer having a headset that is wireless and has an attached mic. Bluetooth headphones will sound worse in almost all situations but the convenience can’t be beat.
@bruhtpose the cheap chifi iem market is getting really good, so iems under 100 sound better than iems under 1k a few years ago. I really haven't found a good headphone under 100 that really wowed me you know. But I mostly agreed with what you said
In comparison of gaming IEMs vs gaming headsets, what would be a fair value and quality for gaming IEMs and gaming headset in the range of $100 to $200
Use standard studio/audio equipment for gaming and its miles better. The only thing that makes it "gaming audio" is shittier quality componenets with rgb lighting at double the price.
Totally agree with you that gaming headsets are not good. They are too bulky and heavy for gaming, even do not have good sound quality for the money comparing to gaming IEMs.
As someone who has owned all these IEMs, if you plan on playing competitive games, stay FAR, FAR away from the Moondrop Aria. You will hear footsteps in Overwatch, Valorant or Siege, and they will sound very, very off. They will not be accurate at all and will only confuse you because of the subpad imaging and soundstage depth and space accuracy. Save yourself the trouble and only use the 7hz Salnotes zero and the Truthear x Crinacle Zero. My personal recommendation though is the Moondrop Chu 2 because the build is better quality than the 7hz Salnotes Zero and will do just as well in games.
@@dawnonyt1 get the zero:red. It’s an updated version with much higher clarity and less distortion with a more natural sounding tuning with a sub bass boost for footsteps. The zeros, zero reds, and 7hz zero all have dynamic drivers which means they are very easy to drive, my phone can run it without problems. Btw i would personally spend the extra bucks on the zero red instead of the 7hz zero or zero 2, they sound good for the price but are lacking in bass and don’t come close to the zero reds. The zero reds perform on par with 150-200$iems from just a year ago
i tried using earbuds on my xbox controller , but i always get that static noise coming , it usually dont happen with headsets because they are not fully in my ear , do you know if IEM earbuds could help with that ? cause i tried a few earbuds already , and nothing works for me
Things marketed as "gaming" are typically mediocre to bad products that usually just have rgb slapped on to it. I've wasted more money than I'd like to admit on crappy headsets that would fall apart after a year or two and it wasn't until about ten to fifteen years of this that I finally just got a proper set of headphones that not only sounded better but were also comfortable for multiple hours and if I need voice chat, then that's as easy as getting a separate microphone.
When playing escape from tarkov with the truthear IEM's I got, I cannot tell a direction the footsteps are coming from which made me instantly stop using them. Is there a way I can make this better?
Did u buy the truthear zero or the zero red? If you bought the red people say it's worse for gaming. Less imaging and other fancy words. Of you bought something else then ya idk.
I am an audiophile. Bang for the buck, IEMs beat headphones at most pricepoints under $200. I would argue that extends to $750 to $1000, as in a $500 IEM will give more than a $500 headphone, usually. But there are really good IEMs for under $100, JoJos are li,e $20.. OH10s, are known for their bass as they pack a punch. While IEMs may not pack the widest stage, they are very good and imaging so you know the exact direction of footsteps. I wear headphones for a mic and comms, but when my head hurts i switch to IEMs.
Bro, let's give some love to DrogoDGN. He spent countless hours and money to provide free tech reviews for everyone! Hit the Likes to help bring this candid review to others.
Yup. The biggest problem with headphones is the software. My Logitech Pros audio software sucks! It wasn’t until I had to delete their audio drivers to make them compatible with Dolby that forever changed them into god tier audio.
First time trying was awesome, and I wished I could invest more on this form factor. It's just not for me, comfort wise. Having things inside my ear is simply uncomfortable... and disgusting, even when I frequent bulb syringe and Q-tips combo. Quite jealous myself of people having these high quality audio, and most of the time cheaper than the headphone I invested in.
Man, it feels good knowing that I have something going for me in this regard, and perhaps it is the years and years of in-ear headphone use that made me used to it, but they fit nice, sound great, usually cheaper, lighter, easier to pack, and I have hardly any gunky build-up and have excellent hearing for a 40 year old. On the other hand, I have other issues where a lot of over-ear or on-ear headphones are extremely uncomfortable and a bit painful.
You can add sidetone/feedback with software. I use complete noise cancellation for gaming, but have sidetone enabled. I can hear myself through my mic which allows me to adjust my volume whenever needed. I need sidetone now. lol
@@user-hv6ye7rz9j Yessir. Bananameter is a great tool to add it. I have my IEM's hooked into my GoXLR ionterface so I can control that sidetone volume through their software, or manually on the device itself. super handy.
I use a pair of HD800s for gaming but they're not suitable when playing VR so i had to pick some iems recently. I just bought my first pair of Hexa and i am very impressed for the price, even without a dac/amp they perform well. The soundstage is definitely cramped compared with what i'm used to but that's to be expected; impressive price-performance non-the-less and perhaps not the best choice of iem if used for vr gaming specifically. Moondrop Variations will be my next stop i think, unless anyone has any other recommendations solely for vr.
If your on pc high quality headphones because you can down load plug ins and you can use actual audio equipment that can properly drive them....like amps and dacs....there is a lot to unpack when it comes to understanding audio....if it says mixing headset don't purchase it
Studio headphones are infinitely better than gaming ones had some cuz I used a interface for music and gamed I would for sure go back when I have the chance
Well, soundstage is important. I was trying to imply that the difference between them shouldn't be that big where it completely is night and day. Also I think that gaming headphones from like brands like razer and Corsair heavily lack soundstage anyways.
all professional studios use over ear headphones.. idk why but there is probably a reason. on a side note... I just replaced my senhiesser game zero's with V moda's m 100 and their boom mic. I've yet to test it but i'll let ya'll know how it is and if my friends say my voice sounds more clear or not
on the more expensive stuff like professional grade, headphones are better value because flagship iems usually costs more. But in consumer side, 300$ and below iems usually have a lot more value
I am surprised to see the OH10 being used for gaming. Don't get me wrong, my OH10 are my babies, and are absolutely amazing for the kind of music I listen to, but they are not good for gaming. Their imaging is mediocre and their sound stage is moderately close. For competitive games, you want imaging and soundstage as the main strengths, which means either a neutral or bright sound signature most likely. You can also go for something with a slight V shape signature. The OH10 is a heavy V, close to U shape signature, amazing for electronic music and will give you a nice brain massage, but gives you fuzzy directional audio for pinpointing the location of things.
i'm just gonna say this, a iem that cost 150 is the equivalent of a 550 to 800 dollars over ear headphones in sound quality, and i'm not talking about gaming headphones, i'm talking about brands like hifiman, sennheiser, bayerdynamic etc... now let that sink in.
Ive never heard an IEM that gives me the same sound a $550+ Hifiman has at any price, yet alone one at $150. Planar sound on headphones is its own thing, and even planar IEMs have a long way to go to get that good But yeah a $150 IEM gets you more bang for your buck than $150 in the headphone world. What you said about Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic Ill agree with. But the Focals, Meze 109 Pro, and most modern Audezes aren't getting outmatched by IEMs from Truthears, 7Hz, and Kiwi Ears. Also IEMs arent nearly as durable as headphones (which may not matter to some, but its the truth) If someone only had $150 or less though and weren't going to upgrade their budget anytime soon, yeah IEMs are the way to go
dude money is not an issue for me i am more interested in comfort i dont mind spending 500 or a thousand if it means my ears dont hurt i wanna be able to hear my self talk while having excellent audio quality
I wont recommend iems for gaming and this is coming from someone who owns alot of iems. Iems hands down give me the worst headaches imagineable when gaming. Your voice is isolated too much to the point you can barely hear yourself, the whole thing feels unnatural and claustrophobic for long term gaming sessions. However this could just be me, i recommend picking up some cheap Kz iems regardless if youre going to use them for gaming or not, theyre just good buy for the sound quality they give out.
I play really loud, so when there's something happening, the isolation problem that I stated in the video is not as noticeable. Also I started solo queuing, so not a lot talking in games anymore. This video was also stating gaming branded headphones. If we're talking about audiophile headphones, then I def can see this.
You can just enable "Enable mic playback to hear your own mic". Most mics comes with software where you can enable how much you can hear urself thru the mic. Just turn it on a little, maybe 5-10% or whatever that feels more natural. Solves the problem with the talking and feeling to isolated for the people that dont like that. finding eartips that dont isolate that much is good to. @@DrogoDGN
this video seems like an april fools video i found in the shorts section, you have an insane amount of time to explain things yet you just say "iems better" over and over audio is almost entirely personal preference and comparing, a blanket statement like iems having better imaging isnt great also, dont buy gaming headphones, dont be afraid of looking up "audiophile" headphones, you can find some really great headphones at pretty low prices compared to what you might think
I specifically said gaming headphones on purpose. Such as Logitech and hyperx headphones. I said in my video that audiophile headphones have better soundstage.
@@Tommy-te2lg there are 6 pairs of headphones in my house and the 2 i like the most are my audio technica ad1000x and my hifiman sundara the ad1000x has such crazy soundstage that its like audio x-ray, the imaging is also very good to pair, sometimes i have to take my headphones off to make sure a sound wasnt downstairs the sundara's detail retrieval is impressive, no matter how hectic a fight is i can pick out every sound, the soundstage and imaging arent CRAZY but still pretty good for iems, im currently using the moondrop starfield, imaging is decent but soundstage is pretty cramped, the tuning of them helps pick out things like footsteps and bushes for games like valorant and cs2 i might prefer my iems because gamesense more than makes up for the soundstage and imaging for more open and dynamic games like apex, tarkov, cod, battlefield, headphones all the way for me as for which pair i choose, its up to how i want my audio to sound side note, the sundara doesnt need to get as loud to hear everything, the detail you get at relatively low volume is very good as for gaming headsets, the hyperx cloud alphas are pretty comparable to the starfield is every way but worse overall quality, meaning they arent as clear, the bass is kind of muddy, and the upper mids arent as smooth, the soundstage/imaging/detail retrieval is comparable also the logitech pro x 2 seems pretty good, i have a friend that dipped into pro valorant and she says she couldnt be happier with that headset, she also plays tarkov
What I hate are the stupid cables that wrap around your ear and no matter how much you put them on you're always fumbling with, which is the left and right one and then how do you orient them.
@@DrogoDGN I have a FiiO and they spin around and its like an annoying little puzzle everytime I try to put them on. I just wish the damn cables would hang straight down instead of this ear wrap around thing.
@@KevinGeneFeldman A lot of iems now are 2 pin, which means the cable is locked in and does not move or spin around. Also if a cable was straight, it wouldn't fit/hold on as well onto the ear and would just fall down straight. Which some IEMs have good weight to them.
what over-ear headphones have you used in gaming? have you used any open-back headphones? - if yes, which one? I'm asking bcs it sounds like your very biased... there is literally no way an iem can beat a headphone
I have used openback headphones, but when I say it beats headphones, I'm talking about gaming brand ones like logitech Corsair etc. I said that openback headphones can be better, but iems give a similar experience with gaming while being cheaper
I wore hyperx headsets for 8years it damaged my hair 😢 im malding bruh... which in ear do you recommend for me? I play CSGO. I need good quality for footsteps in game but also for watching movies
I just bought the Shure se215, 100 bucks, which is roughly what I paid for my hyperX cloud 2 wired headphones… and they suck compared to the headphones. I’m not sure if there’s something wrong but all gaming in the IEMs are trash, but anything browser based sounds excellent. But music in game sounds like speaker phone music.
In Ear vs over ear is not as healthy for your ears. If I wear in ear headphones my ears will o into overproduction of earwax. When headphones don't cause that issue.
Ola bass Or Sigmot ew200 Or Trn conch Or Moondrop CHU II I want a gaming experience for a normal person to use, and they will be useful in FPS games, such as ambient sounds, watching videos, and podcasts. The bass is not as important to me as the sound, its purity and clarity are more important Is there a better option than them in the $40 category?
Out of those, only the chu I have tried. The chu matches all the qualities you said, but I'm not sure if they're the best for all of those since I haven't tried too many on the super budget end. You could try pushing your budget a little bit more for the thuthear zeros at $50 but the chu isn't that much worse compared to the zeros.
get IEM if u have separate mic. IEM mic just so terribad it will catch your game sound while talking with team mate. Get headset instead for better comm experience
purchase a good digital audio interface like the audient evo 4. They come with microphone passthrough so connect your XLR mic to it, then your IEMs and now you have passthrough to hear what you're saying without anything sounding muffled.
i bought these on amazon and it had white noise. just plugged into my pc without any audio playing you can hear white noise and i couldnt stand it. i got a replacement from amazon and it had the same issue. ive heard these iems are some of the best but getting two defective ones ruined it for me.
White noise could be caused by your amp. Pc amps are not always the best. Also all iems react differently to different amps, it mightve been a bad iem, a bad iem, or a mix of both. Or also the iem requires a better amp.
I have the Sennheiser PC38X as well as the Thieaudio Monarch MK3s. The MK3S are definitely better for gaming and just everything i mean they are like $800 higher lol. The Sennheisers are still good for music as well as gaming, thet are also very comfortable and since there openbacks they don't get nearly as hot as other headphones I've tried, highly recommend.
What IEMs would outright be better than. A50s with the mix amp ? I’ve tried some in the past but the a50s were still definitely better for me. Also a big music guy so either gaming focused best or middle ground ?
IEMs seem really nice but I have over producing earwax. To give you an example, if I don't clean out my ears via water every 1.5weeks then I will literally wake up with the sound missing from one or both of my ears. It's sad though because I've tried some REALLY good IEMs that were cheap. Unfortunate.
@alexphsy6936 there are cable extensioners or you can buy an amp which could be useful in the future to power headphones that are really powerful while acting as an extensioner.
Fact is Headphones cause hair thinness. Look at poor Pestily. Lvndmark is smart and wears earbuds. My hair has definitely gone thinner from headphones and i have noticed when i have a long break it grows back. Obvioisly this doesnt happen to everyone so stfu
Hey man I have given the truth ear zeros a try before and I ended up hating them they didn’t sound good for gaming at all I’m wondering if it’s mandatory to be using a DAC to properly utilize them
I was mainly pointing fingers at the gaming consumer headphones like from razer and logitech. For studio headphones, it's not that IEMs are better sounding, but very close or good enough for gaming while still being much smaller and comfortable (at least for me). Also more affordable
See u find it to be negative to hear urself while talking, personally when I got my mic and it did that (which u can turn off in the mic settings) i never switched back
You should check out the Koss Ksc75x's. I bought mine for 15$, applied 2 simple mods(headband + yaxi) and its beat out my x2hr, HD 559 and moon chus by a landslide in terms of comfort. Its essentially like having clouds on your ears that have incredible soundstage/imaging and solid tuning for the price. Excellent for gaming and very solid for everything else (especially with a bit of EQing).
@@DrogoDGN I can't blame you with its unappealing "90's airplane headphones" look, lol. However, when it comes to comfort + price/performance, it's pretty much unbeatable, especially with the aforementioned (simple) mods. I was hesitant at first too, but when Crinacle gave it praises... I had to give it a try. Atleast think about it, haha. Great video, overall :).
@@givemethesantahatfoo nah for me anythung that's over the ear (like those) will never be as comfortable as IEMs. But good you were able to find it most comfortable tho
@@Mr-R.R. I was the same way too. I promise you it's different with the yaxi earpads. They are imported from Japan, and idk what they do to them, but it feels like actual clouds on my ears. That + the headband mod, which distributes what little pressure there is, all around your head... When I first started wearing them I'd walk away from my computer with them accidentally on sometimes... Insanely comfortable.
I never got that problem with getting hot... Im always cold, but i can understand for those who sweat allot. But i switch in between them. Sometimes i use headset, and sometimes the oh10. I really love them. Every cheap headset that came with a phone or wireless i did toss away. I dont go back to wireless. But the oh10 do hurt afther a while... Not sure why, maybe my ears are not that big causing pressure points.
Hey man. I currently have the truthear zeros and i love them they're comfortable but I have 1 issue with them. The sound isn't as loud as I would like for them to be. Do you have any tips for increasing the volume of them to hear footsteps etc better.
@xCaoy I don't have a specific recommendation, but if you go on Amazon, you can find some cheap ones with pretty decent reviews. Pretty much any amp will be better than the ones in your pc
@@DrogoDGN Alright thanks, Also do you think buying the Aria snow edition would be a good upgrade in terms of gaming. Or should i just stick to the zeros?
If you're talking about 7.1 you can't get that from anything other than a speaker so obviously no, unless you're talking about sound staging, iems do have a very good sound staging especially the planar iems.
@@MtFoxt no but you can still hear in each direction which helps to tell you where enemies are in fps games i can tell with my headset that it's better than ear buds i've used in the past and it does help and anyways you didn't answer my question
I'm looking for quality, durable, wired and has good range for example on Apex my headset is fine but seems like I can't hear from as far away as other people can any suggestions?
