"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."
"Crazy good from the jump! ... When you factor in they're only $99 and go toe-to-toe with Bose QC Ultra at $299, this is the deal of the year!"
"Can't recommend them enough for the value, sound like $200 earphones."

"For gaming the Tea Pros so far are a 10/10, I play mostly Hunt: Showdown and the additional separation, staging, and tighter but punchy bass were all noticeably better for my ears."
"Absolutely insane imaging. I can point exactly where each sound comes from: left, right, front, or even a bit behind."
"The soundstage feels genuinely wide — about 4 to 5 meters in perception, which is something rare even among much higher-end gear."

"Back to back in my opinion they blow the airpods pro 2 out of the water in clarity, separation, and punch."

"these have the deepest, cleanest and "tumpiest" bass out there."

"It's also absolutely unbreakable ... I have it since 3 years, done ton of afters, street parties, beach parties, etc, with it. Saltwater, beers, dust, sand, falling on the ground, etc, nothing broke or deteriorated it the slightest, and I am a pro for breaking anything technological."
"will last you forever as they are absolute tanks"
"amazed how the quality resembles logitech g pro 1"

"Comfort is superb for me, no problem at all running them all day everyday when I WFH with constant meetings or music going on for 8+ hours."
"Distances 20KM+, I think the Prodigio Pro's good balance of comfort and grip just wins here."
"I did run a 100km race in the full size up without touching the shoe once in the whole race."

"the current sub is beyond terrible, at least to my ears. ... my 80W 10" Vizio subwoofer that is miles better than the Samsung ... The biggest complaint about the Samsung soundbars was always the lack of bass. ... I returned the B and the D due to the poor subwoofer performance. ... The weak sub was always the main problem with these bars."
"the subwoofer disconnects sometimes every 15 seconds ... now its been ok after reconnecting it for the 20th time"
"Will they fix the subwoofer dropage issues? ... Ended up returning it due to the neverending link problems."

"The stock cables are crap, as in the worst stock cables which I have ever encountered on any IEM including KZ IEMs. ... Perhaps the Zero 2 needs to go into the record books for having a very nicely executed relaxing sound signature yet also having the worst stock cable."
"flimsy wire"
"broke while removing the cable 😭"

"Also that SW5 is the biggest joke of a "flagship" subwoofer I've ever seen. ... I had an old Sony 5.1 AV unit with a single 8" subwoofer and let me tell you, it was so much better than this SW5, Like twice the performance at about the same size. ... Hell I honestly can't personally even recommend Sony until they release new subwoofers cause these subs are just ass. ... The Sonos Mini Sub was legitimately half the size, sounded 10x better & honestly can probably get louder too."
"the treble doesn't roll of smoothly causing strain to ears."
"I was genuinely baffled in not just music but in games as well with my 7hz timeless iems, never going back"

"the default tips are atrocious to the point of being unusable if you have small/medium ear canals or if you're easily irritated by low quality ear tips"
"Yeah, the ones that came on them were really terrible for me as well."
"the ones that came with them weren't comfortable"

"Even with this, IE 200 can still be sibilant due to peaks in the upper treble and its overall treble forward character ... But this much treble boost can also come at the cost of being sibilant or harsh in some songs. ... Tracks that exhibit sibilance, especially in the upper treble, are unlistenable on IE 200."
"For Aimer, many IEMs struggle to get the treble right because of her distinct husky vocals. IE 200 struggles here. A lot of her songs sound sharp and sibilant with this."
"the treble doesn't roll of smoothly causing strain to ears."
I find mines very comfortable. I could wear them for +2 hours without much discomfort compared to other iems I got ([ZSN-PRO](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002438769452.html) & [KZ ZEX Pro](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003589418259.html)) They're also a bit smaller so that might be why.
r/bapcsalescanada • [IEM] Moondrop Chu 2 In Ear Monitor ($25.59) [Amazon] ->My previous IEMs were KZ ZSN PRO, and the difference between them is like night and day.
r/iems • Moondrop Dusk ->This game has amazing mixing and IEMs or studio monitors are the way to play it. I game on my Sony MDR and I’ve noticed that my friends who use gaming headset can’t hear shit because the bass boosts hides a bunch of sound ques. If cost is an issue I recomend KZ ZSN pros or really anything by KZ they’re top tier cheap IEMs. I do recommend find one with a longer wire with mic built in.
r/TheFinalsAcademy • If your not gaming with IEM's your handicapping yourself ->KZ ZSN Pro and more or less in parallel Samsung AKG if those count... And no not using anymore. The Samsungs are broken like the third time I think and the KZ are not my cup of tea but showed me, that there is more than just always using cheap *ss earbuds/in-ears for around 10 bucks. So I went on, on my journey and currently resting on my (amazing) Hype4. Thought they were my Endgame... But who knows...
r/iems • What was your first IEM, and do you still use it? ->I second these as a long time professional live/broadcast sound engineer and life long percussionist. My Shure SE425s split after a decade of sweating with them in. Someone along the way recommended the KZ ZSN Pros as a cheap but great throw away pair of IEMs. Ive had them for years now and they just keep sounding better and better as they break in. Its takes a little time for the high end to mellow out but I’ve never felt the need to have my SE425s repaired because these sound plenty decent enough. You absolutely have to get the foam isolation tips though if you wanna use them while playing drums.
r/drums • In-Ear Monitors: What do you recommend as a first-time user? ->Hello, i've been using kz zsn pro and 7hz zero:2 for years. I decided it was time to upgrade since i got bored but don't wanna spend 200$ out of the blue without deciding what i like, so trying to go fairly cheaper with different iems. I am thinking about getting this set, do you recommend this or what would you recommend about this ? For more info, i listen to metal music generally. Otherwise some jazz, rock, hiphop and watch movies. Thank you
r/iems • The Truthear X Crinacle Zero Blue 2- An Unboxing and Review ->Many moons ago I bought Kbear KS1 and KZ ZSN pro when they were $11. They were much better than Panasonic earbuds I bought for about the same price. Would do it at again at the same price. With current prices and quality I would likely stretch out to the $20 level.
r/iems • I'm an IEMs absolute noob, and I wanted to give them a try. What was your first IEMs? Do you regret it? What would you get as a first cheap one if you could do it again? ->Yeah I got into the hobby in 2022 and the first cheap IEM I bought was the KZ ZSN PRO from Amazon for £14.99 I was blown away I didn't expect them to sound that good.
r/headphones • Budget iems are crazily good nowadays ->Kz zsn pro is too old to consider. Meron ako nyan dati and, and hindi naman masama sound but I prefer Salnotes Zero in terms of gaming and music. Yung first 3 choices mo dun ka pumili. Yung kz castor pro ata yung magandang budget iem kung prefer mo kz brand.
r/PHbuildapc • Best IEM with best sound quality under 2k Php? ->I wouldn't recommend zsn pro even X version which is alright but still not it imo. Also notice that iems are mostly just better value and more versatile in terms of comfort compare to gaming headsets and they won't significantly improve sound quality of sound cues in siege since the way sound works in siege even kilobuck open packs won't really make much difference. If u want iem advice better ask at related subs like r/iems r/headphoneadvice also on yt there's a guy named fresh reviews he does review iems for gaming specifically.
r/Rainbow6 • Are IEMS actually better than headset? And if yes, what one can you raccomend me? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
