I've only had 3 iems so far 'coz I'm broke, but out of the 3 I have, the Kinera Celest Wyvern Blacks impressed the hell out of me coming from a KZ ZEX and a KZ EDX. Currently looking at Juzear x Z Reviews Defiant next
Kefine kleans have a great look, excellent build quality, quality cable, nice sound but are slightly quiet for me when comparing to zero2, simgot ew200,trn conch, chu2, kz edx
Black kz edX. I lost my charger so I will get a new one when I run out of battery.
Can you compare bass in them? I got KZ EDX and for me the bass in them are too much soo i need something softer, chat gpt said that Moondrop chu ll are less bass than KZ Castor, is it true?
>Because sound is not everything in esports. As a pro, u want to afford earbuds that could help u to make the rightest decision or boost your game performance. IEMs can can give you that boost. >Every pro will have their own's aspect in the game to focus. IEMs can give you that aspect to focus on. >HyperX earbuds are made for gaming unlike the iems we are talking here. I owned a pair of Cloud I and II IEMs and the KZ EDX sounded waaay better overall in terms of audio quality. Directional audio seems on par as well as resolution but the EDX's cost 5 times less. Final Audio VR ones are made for directional audio and those are great for gaming. But yeah, adding "gaming" on something doesn't mean they're better for gaming than the ones without the tag. >atlest that's the case for me because of how lightweight and ergonomics they are than music IEMs. Lots of light options too and are more comfortable than some gaming IEMs. It's a sea of options that everyone will have something that would be great for them, not only for music but for gaming as well. Heck even the Moondrop Quarks II DSP does better than the Cloud IIs. >But over-ears headphone will always give you imcomparable soundstage/resolution over IEMs. True. But then again, soundstage and resolution isn't the be all and end-all. As I mentioned earlier, I have headphones in my collection as well but I still prefer using IEMs mainly for the comfort and the fact that intimate sound gives me better reaction to audio cues. I'm mainly disagreeing on the side that says IEMs should never be used for gaming and that the headphone form factor is ALWAYS superior.
I would go with those for the absolute budget vs kz. I've had QC issues with my kz edx, cca cra and qkz vk4. But I would go with one of the over 2 for a lightning port iphone + item as the best budget price/performance.
Kz edx ( bass dynamic) high sensity bass response claroty and cheap
Time to get myself the highly rated KZ EDX and TRN V30 i guess. Since u/strtftr said they’re all better than the Airpods Pro 2. Stop the circlejerk lmfao. The guy is asking a genuine question, try not be a jerk every once in a while
