CVJ - Konoka

[CVJ KONOKA](https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/cvj-konoka.26641/) https://preview.redd.it/j6tad3vzaeye1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c737adacf975ce0ec850f7fe377927401ad0c759 It has a Vibration Bone Conduction Driver inside. (1DD + 1BA + 1BCD) Great for FPS gaming. (Grenade, gun ect)

Yes I use foam tips on my cvj konoka and I find it helps a lot with the seal and bass. I haven't used them much so I haven't had an issue with them getting dirty or degrading yet but I'll make sure to get some backups. Thanks for the tip. Luckily I don't have any cats but I do have a little did that chewed my Skullcandy crushers a little just 1 time but it still sucks so I can relate.

I have the cvj konoka and I've been happy with them so far, I'll have to see what the Vivian is all about thanks

I've had a few recommendations for the rosefinch, I'll definitely keep those in mind for a future purchase. I have the cvj konoka and I actually like the sound of them when I shut the vibration off. I'm not too familiar with the Vivian but I'll have to check them out thanks

First time seeing that name, I'll check them out thanks

Cvj konoka. You can turn the drivers off if you will. Ultra budget category

My opinions and experience with various budget "bone conduction" iems. CVJ konoka = Tuned for gaming, not good for gaming or music. KB02 = Trash can water. Needs volume, but it sounds like shit to me. But there are so many people that like it so it may work for you. Penon Fan3 = Good iem with subtle texture to sound and stage. Negligible vibration or extremely tip dependant. Kiwi Ears Etude = Another good and fun iem with vibration you can feel. It would be my choice for a starting point. BGVP DMA = Amazing iem with the best overall implementation of bone conduction imo. It has helped convince me to get the ISN Audio EBC80. If the BGVP Astrum had the sonion bcd included, I would get that instead. Once again, these are my opinions, and I would have went after the Anvil if I didn't get the DMA instead. The KB03 has gotten panned from most reviews I've seen. They say to stick with the 02.
