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

I own a klean and it's very good but lacking in bass but the clarity and soundstage is pristine it's my 1st iem so idk how it compares to others but compared to my cheap tws it's pretty damn good

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

3 months ago

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

4 months ago

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

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.

I am using them for valorant with a dac. I would say the sound is very clear and loud. And great directionality. I switched 7hz salnotes which was also good but the volumes were lower. I constantly keep my volume under 50% since the Kefine are so loud.

I have all three IEMs, the Kefine Klean is good for $49 and if you change the stock cable it improves the bass and treble becoming warmer if using the Nicehck GTC5 cable. The Lesthouer S08 is a very good warm planar IEM I think is a really good option with the 25% discounts on Amazon US it comes out at around $66, but check the forums on Amazon it says frequently returned there are users who report problems with the right earbud, I have not had any problems, they sound very different from the Kefine Klean, the sound is somewhat dark with soft and detailed but not extended treble. The best for my personal taste is the Aful Explorer but it is the most expensive $119.99, it has a very organic warm sound, with good bass and detailed and sweet mids with a narrow but very musical presentation and the treble is somewhat attenuated with a certain level of detail. Any of these IEMs are wonderful but if you have the money go for the Aful Explorer if you like the warm signature and good musical representation.

If you noticed the difference in audio quality, the thing is that personal tastes are subjective. I have the kefine klean for $49 and the most expensive ones are the isn est80 for $649 and there is a huge difference in audio quality. It's better to have one good IEM than several cheap ones. Sometimes cheap is expensive and expensive is cheap.
