191x7My 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.
Acustomerme13he wants a quality bass kbear rosefefinch and QKZ X HBB bass have more volume but not a good quality bass castor pro have better quality bass than those 2
i didnt say he needs to get to 100$ im just saying if for him if castor pro bass sucks the other 2 suck even more they have bass volume but not a quality bass he already complain about the bass quality of castor which is better than those 2 i would prob recommend him kz saga
AdventurousLocal4171I would suggest the QKZ x HBB or a sleeper pair that I use all the time… the CCZ DC02 which I got for $10 and use the most and I have over 40 pair of iems.
AlmoranasAngLubot69Mas 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.
AltrebelleLook at KBears Rosefinch for a bass monster. QKZ x HBB is pretty bassy as well...but nothing to the level of the Rosefinch. KZ Castor Bass Edition (the one with switches) can't touch the Rosefinch for unapologetic bass either.
antagron1Well, I own it and disagree with this. We shall see what others say. Its a pretty commonly recommended inexpensive bassy iem.
axxondHBB Hades. Just got them myself. It's a weird tuning and definitely not an all rounder but it shines with anything bassy. Also the Kbear Rosefinch but I haven't tried those yet. For the cable just buy a third party one like tripowin zonie, openheart or maybe the kbear cables.
BellGeekI 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.
