0n1plugSM4 is all you will ever need
1vendetta1I have Linsoul Supermix 4's and can recommend them, but let's just say my Beyerdynamic DT MMX 330 Pro's are better for longer playing sessions. The switch from a headset to IEM's can be quite difficult. I try to stay clear of ''gaming headphones'' in general.
a1rwav3They have been, for a long time... I still use them sometimes when I don't have my blessings 3...
abc133769supermix is a good set yeah. usually pure planars like s12 pro aren't rec'd for fps gaming cause many of them have very boosted higher frequencies which can effect staging, not sure how the ultra's hold up though but many use and enjoy the supermix for gaming
simgot supermix 4 would work very well
AdAcceptable5657lots of people like the simgot em6l, my first were the supermix 4 and they were great - but i’d actually recommend the 7hz crinacle divine- kind of the number 1 in your price range. if you wanted something amazing but a lil higher than your budget i just upgraded to the ziigaat arête 2 and ive never been so impressed, or a safer bet for an all rounder would be the softears volume S (ultra cheap option if you fancy it, simgot ew300)
Afraid_Clothes2516Super mix 4 are very good
Aggravating_Mix_4211Just a pair of simgot supermix4
AltrebelleThere’s a method to the madness…at least for my case. I didn’t wildly trust any “professional” reviewer…I got a few (3) of the community rec’d IEMs…to see if they’d suit me (fit, sound, curiosity) Think the total I spent on those was less than what a Hexa would have cost. I, too, came from BT devices…Beats Studio Pro, Beats Fit Pro…I was done with all the BT junk. Didn’t bother with BT hooks and dongles and such. Compression…power…it’s ALL lacking. Anyway, AFTER listening to my 3 sets for a bit…I went back to “professional” reviews on YT. Watched the review vids of those IEMs…and decided on whose views and opinions I aligned with. From there….I was able to make slightly more informed purchases. Yes, it’s usually best to test drive audio gear in person…and buy from a local outlet with a reputable and dependable return policy. For some, that is not possible. I have disposable income…and can afford several sets of Hexa or even the Supermix 4 on a whim. I didn’t think it was sensible to dive in when there are cheaper AND community recommended sets to try. As for BT…if I’m going to use BT for convenience…I would stick with the usual suspects instead of introducing dongles and ear hooks. BUT…that’s just me
