My kefine klean are sitting without a cable in a pouch rn lol Das my thoughts

Klean has soo much treble. Idk how people tolerate that, but maybe they'•| old and cant hear it? The edx pro has nice fun peaks that make sounds exciting and zingy. They arent really good but they are enjoyable

I dont want to force your buying decision : Though I had wanger S.G , kefine klean , chu 2 and kiwi ears cadenza …. Chu 2 and kiwi ear cadenza are great … why you ask that metallic shell iems are not placed at the top … because they absorb moushire and can maybe end of clogging one of the sides in long run ( if you dont of take a good care of iem ) but kiwi ears cadenza are absolutely steal at 35 bucks

can't listen to music at all if nozzles are too big and uncomfortable for your ears like they could be on the reds. if you're okay with potentially having to return then sure but they are not a good blind buy just based on fit alone. and no they're not reds are more neutral, kleans are the better allrounder

kefine klean are an excellent pick

i'd take kefine klean over those as an allrounder for music + gaming

closer to 20$ 7hz zero 2. very widely appealing sound signature that covers many music libraries. commonly a default blind buy rec for new comers for 30$ (atleast on black friday) i'd take advantage of the sale and go for kefine kleans. they'll be a stepup from the cheapie 20$ sets, cadenza is generally considered a sidegrade to the 20$ cheapie sets with diff tuning (though still a very nice set as well)

kefine klean. the best set under 50$ for gaming, they're designed for music first however and will do a great job for that and just one of the best sets under 50$ period

idk what you're looking at but kefine kleans are wired iems

if you have a 50$ budget then take the kefine kleans. best you can do for fps gaming <50$ and for music they're a step up from the zero 2 and chu 2 (both of which aren't so great for fps) sidegrade to the blue 2 for music but more comfortable and better build. engaging sound at the same time balanced signature so you'll have your bass while still respecting vocals and the upper frequencies

no worries. go for kefine kleans, the go to set for gaming around that budget theres a type-c version that comes with a mic

truthear zero have some of the fattest nozzles in mainstream iems and cause discomfort issues for a good amount of people <50$ for gaming kefine klean is the best you can do, has a usb-c mic version. if you dont wnat usbc then you'll have to spend 10-15$\~ on a mic cable like tripowin grace

if you can stretch abit go for kefine klean otherwise tripowin vivace or kz gale

kefine klean, strong allrounder to cover a wide music library (all of them are really) and a stepup in sound from the other 2. zero 2 and cadenza are great mind you but cadenza are a sidegrade to the cheapie 20-25$ iems like zero 2. if kleans are an option then get klean has enough bass punch and rumble for an immersive experience for your single player games

delci ae or simgot eg280 if you want the best in your max budget klean if you want something great and better bang for buck

3 months ago

gates are pretty meh for gaming for roughly that budget go for tripowin vivace, if you can stretch abit then kefine kleans are some of the best bang for buck in terms of price/quality for fps performance

Kefine Klean without a doubt. I owned both and it's just better on all fronts.

Based on my personal opinion? Haven't tried those two, but I can speak for those I have. Kefine Klean are great and the swappable nozzles help tend to your preferences but will basically require you to store them in a airtight container with silica gel to avoid moisture blocking the filters. Moondrop LAN IIs are very great but they are bright for sure, nothing that an EQ can't change though, they fit amazingly and they're tiny and light. If I had to choose I would personally take the wan'ers just out of a packaging and design choice.

What i personally own: Kefine Klean (black version) fairly "safe" harman tuning sturdy metal shell tuning nozzles nice cable for the price nice case included Tangzu Wan'er S.G "meta" tuning for cheap (warm neutral) shell feels cheap and empty (it being transparent doesn't do it any favors) very basic accessories Truthear Zero:RED neutral tuning (crinacle target) decent quality shell terrible fit for a lot of people (huge nozzle) comes with an impedance adapter for more bass KZ Castor (Bass) actually has a bassy tuning has a bunch of dipswitches to tune it feels cheap (even cheaper than the tangzu wan'er sg) terrible stock cable bulky Moondrop Chu (first version) sound really nice didn't survive too long, oxidation issues If i had to keep just one: Kefine Klean Best accessories, quality feel, overall just a very nice deal
