My favorites for PUBG so far: \- Kefine Delci Angel Ears (Delci AE) 70€ \- Tripowin Vivace 30€ \- Truthear Crinacle Zero blue 60€ \- Simgot EM6L 100€ \- QKZ x HBB 20€ (but short-lasting) What I wouldn't recommend: \- 7Hz Salnotes Zero (partrially usable) 25€ \- Moondrop Chu 20€ \- KZ Zex Pro (CRN) 30-50€ I do have the HD 560S, and I use them balanced using the 4.4mm cable and the Akliam PD4. They, like most headphones, cause "gamer hair", and that's a look I can't rock at work. That's why I mostly use IEMs. I also use the IEM-s with 4.4mm cables.
Mas maigi dun ka magtanong sa r/iems dun din ako nakakuha ng suggestion eh, qkz x hbb nabili ko around 600 pesos lang, lakas ng bass, perfect sa mga nilalaro ko na pang cinematic.
Gamit ko ngayon qkz x hbb around 600 pesos ko nabili. Sobrang lakas ng bass.
Well, I own it and disagree with this. We shall see what others say. Its a pretty commonly recommended inexpensive bassy iem.
Well, I do agree with the trash cable part of the comment in reference to QKZ x HBB. I disliked that cable more than any other stock cable I’ve come across and couldn’t replace it fast enough.
I definitely notice a difference. When I pick the QKZ x HBB and put them on, I usually think, hey, I really like these. But if I then switch to one of my higher end IEMs (and we’re only talking $150 - $300 range; I don’t have anything that cost more than $270), I immediately think, oh my, what was I thinking? I still like the HBB’s tuning, but the other IEMs are just so much better in how everything is presented - tighter, cleaner, clearer, more precise. So yeah, I think there’s definitely a noticeable difference between $20 IEMs and $150+ IEMs, and even between $20 and $50+ IEMs.
ZiiGaat x HBB Arcadia gets my head bobbing every time. I own the Explorer and Tea Pro IEMs as well. While they get close, neither has the rumble necessary to handle “Brass Monkey”, “Check the Rhime”, “How Low”, or “In Da Club.” The Arcadia aces the quiz with ALL of those tracks and everything else I’ve thrown at them. They are the go to under $200. For the ultimate value option: QKZ x HBB is a winning ticket under $20. Enjoy!
So I’ve spent a few months trying out a few different popular IEMs that fit within around a £20 budget to see what type of sound best suits me and I ended up sticking with the Castor Pro’s as my daily drivers. (And an example of ones I liked less would be tangzu wan’er) In terms of more expensive IEMs I’ve tried the QKZ x HBB but found that the bass is a bit too strong for my music. So I was hoping I could get some recommendations for a natural continuation from the Castor Pros, anything around 100 or less I suppose, that takes the positive aspects of those IEMs but increases it further. Thank you!!
I am using qkz x hbb for gaming it's decent
I see so many differing opinions on the KZ ZAR, I also have Kefine Klean, QKZ x HBB and Tangzu Waner 2. No matter how much testing I do the ZAR beats them all for me. Any recommendations of what I should try next?
As an enthusiast of QKZ x HBB I cannot concur.
To tell the truth, if I hadn't been curious about how more expensive, more complex IEMs sounded and had stuck with the QKZ x HBB, I would have been just as happy with my choice as I am now.
Another vote for the QKZ x HBB. As a bass head, these absolutely thump and take to EQ for even more bass quite well. I've been surprised by how nice they sound, regardless of the price.
