I got a Dunu Brain dance for $297! Can't wait to try it out and see if the "brain damage" claims are true

I was just thinking that it was interesting that ASMR doesn't get brought up on r/iems much. My recommendation is the dunu Braindance or a used Mest series. I have the Mest mkIII and it's perfect for comfort when falling asleep to ASMR, but a little out of budget. The Braindance is a little less spacious but is still comfortable for me. IEMs I've also tried for ASMR include: * Empire Ears Raven (too big but very nice rumble feeling) * Mega5EST (comfortable but not as spacious) * Thieaudio Monarch MK2 (too big) * Galaxy buds 3 pro (not nearly loud enough)

GOOD FOR MUSIC IS GOOD FOR GAMING. But also I found (look at graphs and compare the frequency response) the DK3001BD amazing for ganing imaging performance as well as some other brighter tuned headphones, which is also what noobs call sense of space, just typically brighter but that doesnt mean its wrong. If you listwn ti edm, brighter pop or things with sharper sounds sometimes a brighter tune won't be as good for all around. If youre willing to do sine sweeps like on squiglink and kill peaks in your ears youll have an overall better time with EVERY iem or headphone you have.

Here using Softears Studio 4 por music and playing instruments, and Dunu Braindance for gaming and other purposes, and for me, much more better experience than big headphones

Tea pro, top pro, dusk, aful performer 7, 3001bd or anything around this price point. Your money but I never saw a point of buying many of cheap iems because there’s nothing special between them

The Braindance are excellent for metal, but beware, if you are sensitive to treble, stay away. It's smooth but at the same time fatiguing. It's hard to explain. I find them really enjoyable though, haha.

Try the Dunu Braindance, Softears Volume S or QoA Misty Blue.
