Not worth the money imho. Sound great but liek, I dont see benefit over 7HZ Zero 2's.
I have truthear zero blue 2 and moondrop rays i like the moondrop rays more and they are far more comfortable
Rays are knows as an gaming iem it does a great job at that it isnt the best iem to listen music for the price tho ray is pretty much just moondrop may just diffrent dsp and it has software support which i like
I dont know much about blue 1 i just know it is really uncomfortable hey idk about prices where you live but i think you should check out moondrop rays and simgot ew300
My first IEM was the Moondrop Rays. I got it a few weeks ago mostly for gaming at home, but now I want a daily-driver IEM in the $200–$400 range
Moondrop Rays but not because they're the best but because they're the most versatile. Easy to EQ and already have a bunch of game specific profiles. The inline mic is also one of the better ones I've used. They are also an all in one solution, mic, dac, usb extension cable included in the package.
I don't know how much money is budget for you but the moondrop rays are solid for both gaming and music, they come with a dac that can be used to tune them for specific games and without the dac they are a pair of mays which are quite competent for music as well.
They are just cheap and they ruin the IEM's just by associating themselves with your audio signal.. ruins everything, I've never seen one that worked well and the moondrop rays I had for about 8hrs and the next day they went back to amazon, aint got time for that circle jerk.
Moondrop Ray probably. Has an app with a lot of EQ presets for games. People get too hung up on a "gaming" IEM, when the regions that certain queues you'd want to listen for are different in different games. There are some basic things like imaging and treble extension that help, but different games need different frequency cuts and boosts
If you're gonna use IEMs for gaming, be warned that not every one of them are suited or tuned for the requirements of gaming. The only one I know that is good is the truthear zero red and moondrop ray. There are other ones that are good for gaming as well. AFAIK, you need one with a lot less sub bass. Some IEMs that are really good for music would suck for gaming, so do a lot of research first.
