"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."
"For FPS em6l is what I’d go for. ... I think they’re a sleeper in this area."
"The EM6L has been the de-facto standard recommendation for gaming for a while now and it sounds like that shouldn't change, given that it still seems to outperform everything else."

"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."
"Units themselves are light can barely tell I have them on."
"yes definitely. I didn’t think the supermix 4 sounded much better, but the highs were much more aggressive."

"great sound separation ... Haven't tried an IEM yet that has matched the sound separation of it."
"love its imaging, it ’s very accurate."

"Everything I loved about the EM6L was multiplied, huge soundstage"
"staging in zero red is not satisfactory for gaming. ... EM6L basically has the best soundstage... under $100."
"The EM6L has excellent imaging and a decent soundstage which is why it is one of the consistent top recommendations for gamers."

"The latter is my default recommendation for gaming IEMs below the $300 price point. ... I own dozens of sets, from budget to summit-fi, and yet I game on the EM6Ls 90% of the time. ... No need to spend more, even if you can."
"For almost $50 less, the Em6l is a much safer option and better buy."
"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"

"Can't recommend it due to it's nozzle QC issues. ... It is an easy fix by super gluing it back on but that shouldn't even happen for an iem worth $110 in the first place. ... My Em6l nozzles came off but a drop of super glue fixed that."
"Can't recommend it due to it's nozzle QC issues. ... Otherwise I probably wouldn't use any other IEM for gaming but this ... Just unfortunate that it has a nozzle QC issue ... Simgot should really update the em6l and fix the nozzle coming off issue. ... It is an easy fix by super gluing it back on but that shouldn't even happen for an iem worth $110 in the first place. ... You will just need glue to fix that nozzle issue ... but has nozzle QC issues, can be fixed with super glue ... I would buy that along with super glue for inevitable nozzle issue"
"Don’t get EM6L, because of the build/nozzle issues. ... not worth the money because of their bad quality control and nozzle design."

"The footstep resolution was god awful."
"You will see there is no real difference specially in the mids and more in treble where all the relevant sound is located in your games."
"Not the Simgots they’re terrible for gaming thin and harsh imo."

"the EM6L don’t have any nozzle lip so the tips keep popping off when you remove the IEMs from your ears, unless you find tighter tips that have a “stickier” inner tube."
"Oooh not really no. Just as big as my Waners and my KZN Pros"
191x7 1.0I have 10-ish different models in the 10€ to 150€ range, mostly for PUBG and about 3000 hours in the game. Here are my top picks: - Tripowin Vivace 35€ - Simgot EM6L 120€ - Truthear Crinacle Zero blue 60€ (need AMP&DAC) - QKZ x HBB 20€ In that order. For other games, the Simgot and Crinacle Zero jump higher. The next ones can do, but not competitive: - Moondrop Quarks DSP 15€ - 7Hz Salnotes Zero 25€ - Apple earpods 3.5mm 20€ - KZ Zex Pro Crn 40€ Can't recommend for PUBG: - Moondrop Chu 25€ - Brainwavz Omega 15€ I recommend checking Fresh Reviews on Youtube, he checked many pricier models...
33RhyvehR 1.0I have had like kadenz, aria, aria 2, em6l, actually im not gonna bother listing all of them, like 30+ iems from 50 to 250 No benefit that I can see. Also, The concept of tuning an iem seems absurd to me. Recording methods and audio software should improve and then there should be an actual scientific baseline thats iem is tuned flat and sounds are tuned to be correct. Also apple solved this entire problem by putting mics in airpods and tuning it to your ear. Until better tech and proper scientific baseline is established, I will get banned from reddit repeatedly for criticizing this sub
400cpi 1.0EM6L has the nozzle too thick for my ears and I can't use them which caused some ear damage . Now I'm forced to use my HD600 which are okish. Good luck.
48-Cobras 1.0Though it may be a tad harsh in the treble, the Thieaudio Legacy 4 is probably your best bet. If you want something more relaxing and better for all genres, then the Simgot EM6L unless you can find a second hand Moondrop Blessing 2 (original or Dusk) for less than $200. ETA: I haven't tried the Meze Alba yet, but I've heard good things about it and the Empyrean is fantastic for orchestral music.
Probably either my Simgot EM6L or KZ Zenith. Both are fairly warm, V-shaped tunings that play it safe but keep it musical. Zenith has tuning toggle switches you can mess with to slightly modify the sound and the EM6L is just nicely tuned out of the box. Nothing crazy from either of them, but I wouldn't be mad if they were all I had. Probably the best in the $50-150 price range, but I'd honestly save money for something better or stick with something cheaper like the Zero2 and CHU2 since it doesn't really get good until the $300+ area imho. I could be dead wrong about that, but that's just from my experience.
EM6L is bright trash?? Huh, mine must be a defect then since it's warm neutral tuned... though I agree that it sucks for vocals.
a1rwav3 1.0EM6L are indeed good for gaming, but 7Hz G1 were also a good surprise.
My pick would be the EM6L. They are very detailed and pretty comfortable to wear during hours.
EM6L. You really don't want to have Truthhear iems for hours in your ears. Maybe they will fit you perfectly, but trust if they don't, you will never get them out again... Source : my zeros Blue and Red sleeping in their box for months.
abc133769 1.0great but with the qc caviat of the nozzle just falling off for some people if you don't want to risk that then i'd look into cca hydro or simgot supermix4
Aggravating_Elk_6530 1.0if you like eqing go with em6l if u want harman get truthear nova
Albinodynamic 1.0Been using EM6L with spinfit W1 eartips and a usb c dongle I got from Amazon. Great for games
Simgot em6l has been my go to IEMs. Great for gaming and music out of the box
AlexxxAA85 1.0It'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?
Any-Garage-3613 1.0I just got the AFUL performer 5+2 and can’t recommend them enough. Upgraded from simgot em6l if that helps you
