"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, these are perfect. ... As a valorant immortal, tier 2 and premier player, I can confidently say that the imaging and soundstage are spot-on. ... Footsteps, directional cues, and in-game sounds are incredibly precise and natural, giving a competitive edge without any unnecessary bass/treble bloat."
"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."
"endgame ... Otherwise I probably wouldn't use any other IEM for gaming but this ... The best was definitely the EM6L where I felt nearly no difference in performance with my headphones ... The EM6L is by far and away the best iem for fps gaming. ... But as of rn the EM6L is the best imo ... The EM6L is still king of gaming in my opinion. ... Em6l is still end game."

"People prefer EW300 because it has more bass and warm sounding. ... While EW300 is bass and vocal focused. It's warm sounding. ... As you can see, EW300 follows Harman but it is vocal focused. Bass boosted and warm compared to the other two. ... The EW300 has more warmth in vocals."
"Phonk is pretty bass-heavy so EW300 would be perfect as its stock silver nozzle is already bassier than Hexa, and its gold nozzle is even more bassier than the silver."
"I “NEED” bass in my music ... Bass is the driving reason I just said what I said…"

"Absolutely insane imaging. I can point exactly where each sound comes from: left, right, front, or even a bit behind."
"I listen mostly to pop and rock (both hard rock and indie), and these IEMs made it a whole new experience: ... Songs like "Chicago" and "You Rock My World" by Michael Jackson completely blew my mind. ... I could hear every backing vocal, guitar, bass lick, or tiny percussion element placed exactly where it should be, something I usually expect from high-end headphones."
"sound great for around 24 with both music and gaming."

"one of the two things that I hated about the ew300 was that it gets muddled in busy tracks and also seemed a bit recessed"
"second thing I hate about ew300 being the weird piezoelectric metallic timbre and peaky treble ... The metallic timbre still presists though"
"Simultaneously too dark and muddy but also too bright and fatiguing at the same time. ... Very weird tuning."

"KZ goofed it up so bad when the units we received did not match the review units that were sent ahead of time, as KZ decided to remove a mesh piece that dampened the extreme treble spikes (to save on production cost) and claimed that "nothing has changed, we did nothing wrong and we're not going to take the product back"."

"Don't look at EW300 for gaming. ... They are just neutral for this, you will feel like all the enemies all on the same horizontal level, no vertical feeling at all."
"ea500lm has better technicalities, soundstage & detail retrieval when compared to ew300 while gaming. ... ew300 is superior if you wanna listen to music & watch movies, but for gaming ea500lm>>."

"the eartips are a horrible pairing ... poor fitting eartips (not really small sizes)"
"after ten minutes the QKZ start hurting my ears."
"these are VERY picky with tips. ... More so than any IEM I’ve owned. ... If you do not get a deep enough insertion, you may think they lack bass or are nothing special."
All the black variants peel. If you have a good DAC then get the polished variant imo, otherwise if youre okay with the peeling/chipping then the dsp version is good.
r/iems • Advice for heavy/punchy bass iems. ->kefine quatio are a good allrounder. great build quality and accessories for the price point as well otherwise ew300 are the cheaper allrounder i'd go for "do not give me the depth and personality in music i am looking for" based on this statement hexa's i'd probably avoid for you as they're quite neutral, sounds like you want a more engaging signature
r/iems • 80-150€ (shipping included) IEM recommendation ->The Truthear Pure is absolutely that. Its very neutral yet warm signature is also a great base for EQing which is what you want to do if you want good sound for cheap. On the other hand the Ew300 is a bad base for EQing.
r/iems • Best iem under 100 dollars ->Ew300 is just an untasteful W-shaped iem. IML. Good neutral iems sound good. Neutral being boring is an odd narrative imo. It maybe comes from people who misassign the term "neutral"
r/iems • Best iem under 100 dollars ->Having an iem with a bad signature all across the board like the ew300 is worse than having a (maybe) relatively bass light neutral iem (Hexa/Pure) - it is very easy to EQ in a tasteful bass boost, OP has a dongle dac/amp with PEQ as well so thats not a problem. Hexa was my first iem, I loved it.
r/iems • Best iem under 100 dollars ->i happen to like the ew300. how many hours have you listened to it? maybe you got a dud? or maybe you chose the wrong iem. maybe u need something more balanced and nothing like an ew300
r/iems • EW300 just unbearable, need help! ->I also own the Zero2, Ew300, and Eml6. I agree with your comments completely. Not just for FPS but general gaming they are great. I am going to test the MP145 because the soundstage is amazing on other media like YouTube. I will also throw in to the mix for you the Kiwi Quintet. You can get it used for a great price. It has great detail, separation, and directional audio. Worth a try for sure.
r/iems • Best IEMs for FPS Gaming: The results may surprise you ->If you like the sound from the Zero2, then you'll love the EW300. I have the HBB version. Imagine the Zero2 but with much better detail separation. I've compared the Zero2 with other sets before, and it's always amazing for the price until tracks get very busy. The Ew300 is one of my favorite sets even though I own a few totl IEMs. The ew300 is incredible for the price. It performs way above expectations. Edit: forgot to mention the improved soundstage as well.
r/iems • Best IEMs for FPS Gaming: The results may surprise you ->https://preview.redd.it/i93k3cl1e0le1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c1a8592c5f91eaf65b71fe3c35ddc26c5d0fa2a Hey dude! So I spent a little while going back and forth between them. The Zero2 is a very competitive IEM for being only $20. What the EW300 does great is taking that same awesome W sound signature and stretching it to a nice wide soundstage. I chose a track like this one which has lots of different instruments (layers) playing at the same time during certain parts. With busier Metal songs, the Zero2 struggles to separate instruments for sure. Something more laid back like this helps to compare with other sets. The EW300 has more clarity in the vocals and instruments. It's like taking a filter off of the Zero2 that makes everything clearer and wider. It's a great upgrade. Especially if you can get it used for a good price. Or on sale 👍🏻
r/iems • Best IEMs for FPS Gaming: The results may surprise you ->It's a great first choice. When you are ready for a little extra, try the EW300. Or for a little more, the EM6L. By the way... Out of curiosity are you playing PC or console? How are you setting up your IEM?
r/iems • My first budget iem for gaming ->Regularly use some G2 IEMs in smaller packages. Such a solid RF link. 15+ years old! Use G3 & G4 mainly because of infrared sync. Unless looking for rider compliance no need to go elsewhere.
r/livesound • Sennheiser Wireless IEM? ->Interesting driver config - I'm not sure that I like microplanars though. I felt like there was something off with the EW300 treble, but I don't know if it was the PZT or microplanar. My feeling is that I prefer a full-scale planar like in the Shozy P20, than a micro version though. Know of any hybrid sets that are just DD and microplanar?
r/iems • What was your first IEM, and do you still use it? ->The EW300, very simple to like, great allrounder, and great for People coming from wireless consummer sound
r/iems • What’s an IEM you’d tell 99% of people to blind buy? ->Yeah, for 60-ish you already have a product better than all the wireless buds you could buy ahah, pretty crazy value if you ask me
r/iems • What’s an IEM you’d tell 99% of people to blind buy? ->Here's my journey in short: Brought the chu 2, impressed me a lot, got greedy, returned it and brought the ew300, extremely disappointed. My preferences (not in order): 1. Enough punchy bass without bleeding (this was what impressed me in the chu2) 2. Non muddied good mids (one of the two things that I hated about the ew300 was that it gets muddled in busy tracks and also seemed a bit recessed) 3. Lower treble (second thing I hate about ew300 being the weird piezoelectric metallic timbre and peaky treble) Current choices (kinda in order): 1. Aful explorer (doubtful about the bass bleeding and muddied mids) 2. Truthear hexa (I can live with lower bass and slightly brighter treble if it means I am getting cleaner mids) 3. Kefine delci 4. letshouer s08 (heard it has high planar treble) 5. Truthear nova 6. Tangzu fudu (free eartips) Feel free to recommend anything else.
r/iems • Recommend me an iem around 100 usd. ->Yes. The metallic timbre still presists though
r/iems • Recommend me an iem around 100 usd. ->1. Hekse (best overall) 2. Softear Studio 4 (best sounding iem for my music) 3. He6se V2 (more dynamic than Hekse but nostalgic as comfortable. Less spacious and open) 4. Aful Explorer (like a lesser Studio 4 for commuting. Very easy listening) 5. HD6XX (comfortable and the baseline benchmark but not my go to) 6. Aful P8 (most boring sounding. Used to like it but not these days. Might be a good gaming iem but I don’t game anymore) 7. EW300 (it’s meh. Use for monitoring)
r/headphones • Rank your headphones (2025 edition) ->I have the Aful and EW300. Sold the Supermix 4. For gaming and or just big sound the supermix 4 is best but felt clinical. The Aful sounded the muddiest but it's actually not muddy at all, it's just very smooth and is my go to for all day fatigue free listening at work. EW300 is my backup that never gets used. Good all arounder but the smallest sound. These days, I use the Ziigaat Odyssey for music enjoyment.
r/iems • Which iem should i buy.? I prefer clarity and warm sound and i listen to all genre ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
