COMFORT TRICK FOR THESE!! I bought these and had real comfort problems at first. Trying a whole bunch of different tips helped to some degree but not a whole lot. Certainly not enough to make them nice to wear if even tolerable for long periods. That I found is that if you get a medium to larger tip, push it as far as u can down onto the nozzle, to the point where the end of the nozzle is pretty much flush with the end of the tip and then put it in, it doesn’t really enter your ear canal but seals at the entrance and the body of the iem being as large as it is, just clocks it into place. That makes it not only stay outside your sensitive ear canal but also holds it more secure so it doesn’t move around and exacerbate any soreness or discomfort there would’ve been. My ears were sore from playing for 2-3 hours yesterday but with this new method, even with my ears sore, I played almost 8hrs today and felt literally nothing. The were actually more comfortable than my 7hz sonus and those are super comfortable iems. To anybody having amd discomfort at all with these, try this trick. I can’t express how much difference it made for me. If it does work for you, like this comment so ppl know it’s not just a smoke blowing session. This made me able to love the feel as much as I love the sound. I can literally doze off in these things now.
A lot of work to make them comfortable. You know what I did? Got the cheaper Cadenzas. They're just as good. They're dirt cheap and are comfortable. I rarely touch my Orchestra Lites anymore actually.
I still love my orchestra lites. I go back n forth between those and the aretes. Once I found the way they worked for me, they honestly became the most comfortable and the most “locked in” set of iems I own.
Ever since I have used your audio settings I have been getting frags after frags, and I'm able to hear locations of enemies so clear. Thank you Art for making my gaming feel much better! (I suffer with overstimulation, so art's audio settings really help me focus)
I bought the Orchestra Lite a couple months ago and they are my reference IEMs. I love BA sound and the Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite does an excellent job giving you awesome clarity, resolution, and detail but yet there's no stridency or glare and all this is wrapped in a tasteful warmth and lushness. But yeah, that detail!! Detail junkies? This is what you need!
I’m a musician and have been using studio headphones for gaming since Warzone 1. Glad gamers are finally catching on to IEMs as well. Gaming headsets always come with weird EQs and often too low end heavy with lack of clarity. Also highly recommended the Shure MV7 since it can do usb and XLR simultaneously! Great for content creation.
Hello, I have a PS5 and I want to purchase the Linsoul Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite, however, I would like to confirm that I would get 100% of the capacity and I would get full adavantage of the IEM's by connecting them to my PS5 controller.
Welp, time for an audio upgrade. As for price points, I am about hitting the "Buy once, cry once." cost to benefit point. With a mix of diminishing returns not worth the 2x on price. I too believe in the "Whole ass, instead of half ass" mentaility.
im a buy once cry once guy as well. did you buy them and if so how do you like them? what were you using before and how do they compare. i currently use a pair of sennheiser hd560s. im looking to try something new is all. it isnt that im not happy w my current headphones at all. i really love my sennheisers for music and gaming. i used to have the nova pro wireless. the sennheisers blow those out of the water. its crazy how shitty actual gaming headsets really are tbh. i had no idea until i got these. ive been using them for a couple yrs now also.
I think both price pointss you have covered are really good. In the future I would still like hearing about any other boom style microphone you might recommend that could attach to these IEMs. I only say that because I frequently visit a friend's house and you play in the same room so if I found my sitting on the desk it probably picked up too much of him as well
Finally pulled the trigger on these, price is important but coming from DT1990 Pros, these are half the price. I hop with my Topping 50 stack I now have great positional audio, thanks Art!
Woohoo! Just bought the Truthear Zeros based on your previous video, I'll get them next week. I'm very glad you still recommend them. Thanks for all your hard work on WZ audio settings
@@jamessudbury6943 I've spent a couple of weeks getting used to IEMs and now prefer them. My two previous headsets are the Logitech Pro X (wired) and Steelseries Arctis 7 (wireless). I prefer the Truthear Zeros to both those headsets: the IEMs have better clarity and separation in music and WZ.
Thank you for this! Sooo glad I watched this because I got my Orchestra Lites yesterday and comparing them to the KZ ZARs, the KZ seemed to have more base, but seeing this video and your IEM roundup, and that we will be completely redoing my audio on Sunday then I'm guessing the Lites will sound even better being driven by a better setup. Love how they look for sure, and if they do work well for me, I will probably go with custom ear option as well.
I have the Zeros from your recommendation earlier on the year, but seeing you speak so highly on the kiwi ears has (1440p comment) has me considering another purchase - yet another w upload Art, loving the content 🔥
Just art out here doing art things ❤ nice review because I have personally wondered about "gaming ear buds" as I've heard the fidelity of them leads to a more crisp sound than your typical gaming headsets. Have also heard about the fatigue being less on them as well. Might be worth trying those 50$ ones you mentioned to see if I like the ear bud style.
Great video. Definitely going to get these this weekend. I've been hunting for good headphones or an IEM for 2 years. This video makes me want to buy them!

Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite and AT2020USB+ are indeed a great headset 😀, but I have a big problem with them. I need to hear my own voice and I don't know how to avoid audio delays in my IEM from my USB microphone. This is very annoying 😂 Do you plug the IEM directly into the microphone or do you use an additional audio interface to avoid this problem? Any way to use my DAC/AMP for IEM and USB mic ?
Nice, Art...your settings are the best. These IEMs are very solid at the price point, good call. Compared to my MOONDROP x Crinacle Blessing2 Dusk which are a little bit more $, these have a better bass response while the highs are more tinny like you mentioned. Listening to music, the Moondrops have better separation are less harsh but lacking a little bass versus the Kiwi's. I haven't tried the Kiwis in-game yet, but I'm excited to give them a try and see how they compare. Thanks for all the hard work!
So I tried a set truthears and a hyperX mic… I loved the ear buds, but the mic was kinda brutal… friends on game chat in wz on their ps4 were getting constant feedback, discord was fine… was also picking up every time I was using my keyboard which is all the time because I play mouse and key… went back to my headset
Great video, I actually bought the crinnacle zero's about 5 months ago when icemanisaac recommended them. He also recommended you which I constantly thank him for
I just bought them but how’s the directional audio for you? Sounds amazing but the directional audio is terrible. Literally hear footsteps close to my face but they’re far and not accurate
Great video! i'm currently using the Truthear Zero 1 (blue ones), they launched new red ones with some bass booster. But i'm very happy with mine, also the price is very good.
@@MaD_ShiMy yes, as far as i know they are the same as the blue ones. They just have an extension delivered with the IEM for the 3.5 jack to get a little bit more bass.
hi, actually i have a Beyerdynamic DT770 pro plugged in a go xlr.. so my question is : is it worth the money to buy IEM or i won’t really notice the difference in game / spotify ?
I love mine, you definitely have to change the eartips to get the most out of them, the stock eartips just suck. After swapping the eartips with TANGZU Tang Sancai oh my god a whole different beast.
You've convinced me. I'm targeting the Orchestra Lites for gaming. Now, would pair this with the Antlion Kimura mic be a good move for a mic solution? Also, what DAC/AMP combo would compliment these IEMs?
I appreciate all the great audio knowledge! I was wondering if you could do a video on Xbox settings and a dolly atmos eq setup for season 4. I’m always trying to to get the most out of my A50’s but after the update I feel as though I can barely hear footsteps. I’m looking to get a pair of the kiwis once I get the chance.
I won a set of these from @BadGuyGoodAudioReviews several months ago and I love them for gaming. They are also fantastic for EDM, Jazz, Classic rock, pretty much any genre not bass focused, though the bass on these is quality, just not rumbly. I do find this set a bit more challenging to tip roll for comfort and seal. Dunu S&S seem to be the best option so far.
I can also recommend KZ x HBB PR2, which are the cheapest planar iems, imaging on these are so awesome. It's like you've got wallhacks for your ears. And they're cheap for just around $40-50.
Eres el mejor exponente en referencia a Warzone. Tus multiples facetas y tu ayuda por ayudar a los demas, son unicos! Tanto personas de habla inglesa como al otro lado del charco, por aqui en España (Europa), estamos celebrando tu esfuerzo y dedicacion. Un saludo Big Boss!!
The wan er are impressive for music for the price...not super high detail but they slap on the bass end lol I enjoy dynamic drivers but think balanced armatures and dd combined are the best I also think planar are a second best to having ba's because the responsiveness feels a bit faster than on a normal dynamic driver
Yo art your a legend!! Your audio set up really changed the game for me but I got stuck into a shadow ban loop that has lasted for over 20 shadow bans. So I am now on console and maybe you can test out the best audio setting for PS5 that would be huge thanks!!
Hi, because of your recommendation I bought the Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite IEMs. Do you have a recommendation on how to make them wireless? Is there a usable setup for gaming?
This might be a stupid question, but I am not a streamer and have honestly just played with over the ear headphones with a mic. If I was to purchase IEM headphones, how would I communicate with teammates in game? Would I need a mic of some sort? lol
@ArtisWar Hi. Thank you very much for this review. I will admit that I will share your opinion. I looked at everything about SteelSeries Nova for a long time and came to the conclusion that I am letting go of this set. I've already bought the KZ-AS16 are on the way, and in the future I'm going to buy the IEM you're talking about here Kiwi and Crin Zero. However, I still don't know what kit to buy to skip the sound from the motherboard. I would like to be able to take full advantage of Tidal MQA, it would be nice if there was a display, but not necessary, and a microphone plug , but not necessary either. I certainly wouldn't want anything to hum either. Could you recommend some cool amp options for different amounts? Thank you so much for this review, I'm already looking forward to my IEMs, Greetings
I would like to Test the kiwis But i have to stick to the budget ones. I like my Zeros ;) Thank you, you and isaac are the reason That i and two mates Switched from steelseries arctis 7p to the zero iems. Best thing ever happend to my ears.
hi do u just plug and play or do u use an amp dac? i just got my zeroes but for some reason in wz2 the gunshots are ripping my ears apart while footsteps are too soft
@@firdkoh I plug them into my monitor. Maybe something went wrong while installing. Delete everything and start with the Tutorial from Art is War. My brother got an other monitor and had to buy a soundcard for better sound. Everything was low. The bass was intense.
Can you please review the Sennheiser hd490 pro specifically for COD Art? Heard some very good things regarding them for competitive gaming but would be great to have your opinion.
Should or can I use IEMs like the Orchester Lite with the external sound card (Sound BlasterX G6), or should I get an amp? If so, do you have any recommendations?
You made me Buy the Kiwi Ear Orchestra Lite from watching that Video im tired from open back headset my beyerdynamic dt 990 pro just broke! Thank You for making that video
My first iem based on your recommendation was the truthear nova, after few weeks is hurting my ear so bad… it is the wide body not the tips… at the end of this review you said that these ones are very large… how do you compare vs the nova ? Should I give it a try or if the nova was large to me these are a no no…?
Thanks for the vid! I have one question: I just bought a set of kiwi’s orchestra’s and I would like to use them on my PlayStation 5. What is the best way to use it? Through the audio jack in the controller or maybe with a separate DAC unit? Or better to use the Astro Mixamp?
Thanks for the video! I use the Zero's myself, and i am on the fence of buying the orchestra lite or the new kiwi ears quintet, have you tried them? My only problem is that i play on console, and the microphone solutions are not the best. I've been using one of those cables for phone calls with a built in mic. Do you have any mic advice for us console gamers?
Wanna try the quintets for sure. USB mics should work on most consoles, but getting it close will be a challenge. Gonna look into a boom mic solution soon!
Don’t know what were you using before these but would you say the IEM’s are worth it? I’m on ps5 with the PlayStation Pulse 3d headset and wondering if there’s noticeable difference and worth switching
@@killshot3331 you will definetly notice an audio quality improvement. I owned a lot of headsets and headphones over the years. My favourite right now are the senheiser hd560s for over the ear headphones and the truthear zero (iem's) Wireless ones are much more practic but can't match the audio quality.
@@Patife_PT Alright cool, thanks. I can pinpoint direction and hear footsteps well when there’s not much commotion but for only $50 I might as well give them a shot. The only issue is no mic but I think I’ll just get a cheap usb one so I’ll have something instead of having to use the controller mic
@@Patife_PT @killshot3331 @ArtisWar I have the HD560s with a VMODA Boom Pro mic (which is excellent) now and am looking at IEDs but like you said, the mic situation is rough. Definitely would like to find a way to use the VMODA Boom Pro mic with it. Was thinking if there's a way to get a custom SHORT (2ft or so) 2 pin IED to 3.5mm female adapter so you can have enough IED cable to get around your ears but short enough to reduce the slop before plugging into the VMODA and then carrying the audio to your device (PC ports, controller, console, etc). The rest of the mics I'm seeing aren't really looking good. The VMODA is nice because it has a mute button and volume control and clips to your shirt to reduce the "pull" factor.
How do you drive these? I have used Astro a40’s with the mix amp pro. Recently grabbed the Beacn Mix create and the truthears but they sound way less surround sound ish and I’m struggling. Do I drive these externally or just 3.5mm them into the computer?
Do I have to change anything in particular on my audio for them to work properly with your audio settings? I was having trouble ke last nigth with my discord it was super low couldn't hear it
I bought the truthear blues and they sound great but the directional audio is terrible. I hear footsteps clear but they sound extremely close when they’re not and it’s not accurate. Any way to fix this?
I scored a lightly used pair of orchestra lites and a hyper x quadcast for cheap on eBay. I’m planning on buying some aftermarket tips. My question is do I need a DAC? Or can I just plug these directly into my wolverine ultimate controller. Thank you for the awesome in depth review and all the work you do on the channel!
Hey quick question.. Can you give a review on the new Razer IEMs that just came out.. They're called "Razer Moray" They have a $160 price tag and was thinking about getting them before I seen this vid. Even if you don't buy them.. could you give me your opinion based on what its made with? Thanks a lot in advance! Love your channel.. You help out a ton of gamers including me and I am very grateful for it
Hey, so I've been using the Samsung earbud Pro 2, but they only last a couple of hours before my ears start hurting like crazy. If these don't work out, can you recommend something that's as good as the Kiwi but fits better for medium to smaller ears?
Hey artiswar, Love Your content man! Ive been watching you for a while and love how in depth u go on every single topic u talk about. Anyways so i’ve been Looking for some iems for mw3, But the thing is, i have gotten Way to used to wireless headsets, so whenever Im wearing wired and have to go afk, i allways forget to take headsets off, Which have resulted in two wired headsets ending up with loose connections, And at this point i have given up on wired 😔 Do you have any good recommendations for maybe allmost similar Sound iems, but wireless? Thanks on Advance 🙏 Kindly Regards, Marc Abel
Hey Art i bought the Crinacle Zeros thanks to your video. Can you Make a video about how to set them up conect them. Or what is the best dac to pair with. Example i have the swiich modi and magni stack but i don’t know how to set them up. Thanks in advance and as always excellent content keep it up.
Hello - great video - Quick question / opinion. I’m currently using the AirPods max plugged into a decent DAC (Blaster G6) but I’m still searching for a better sound within warzone. Would you recommend these over AirPod max headphones? Thanks
The AirPod max (over ear 550$ not in ear) sound great for music and movies but my primary use is conference calls for work.. I’m hoping the IEM’s have better sound separation.. I picked up the kiwi ears ol
Have you ever tried the Souncore Pro V10? I'll like your intake on those. I do like them but this is the thing. Great sound crystal clear. Wireless, they are made for VR experience, the down side is that if you will like the best sound quality' you need to use the dongle. However the dongle is registering to COD ricochet system as a cheating device and every time I plug them in. I play like 2 days and get shadowbanded. after 4 days I get my account back. I made a second account and got the same problem. Got back to my OMEN headset and no problem
I use the Sennheiser HD 660S headphones, and playing warzone I enjoy it a lot more at the stock settings compared to my ATH m40x with Art’s warzone tuning. I wonder if IEMs are worth it for me, or if it’s just a lateral move
I switched from hd 660s to truthear zero's couple of months ago. And my opinion is that they cant even compete in the same universe. Once you switch to iems there is no way back. Its just really important to get some quality eartips that make them comfortable to use and have a good seal

Hello! What do you think of the Kiwi ears Quartet for Warzone?
Hi, because of your recommendation I bought the Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite IEMs. Do you have a recommendation on how to make them wireless? Is there a usable setup for gaming?
Awesome review 👍
This might be a stupid question, but I am not a streamer and have honestly just played with over the ear headphones with a mic. If I was to purchase IEM headphones, how would I communicate with teammates in game? Would I need a mic of some sort? lol
@ArtisWar
Hi.
Thank you very much for this review. I will admit that I will share your opinion. I looked at everything about SteelSeries Nova for a long time and came to the conclusion that I am letting go of this set.
I've already bought the KZ-AS16 are on the way, and in the future I'm going to buy the IEM you're talking about here Kiwi and Crin Zero.
However, I still don't know what kit to buy to skip the sound from the motherboard.
I would like to be able to take full advantage of Tidal MQA, it would be nice if there was a display, but not necessary, and a microphone plug , but not necessary either.
I certainly wouldn't want anything to hum either.
Could you recommend some cool amp options for different amounts?
Thank you so much for this review, I'm already looking forward to my IEMs,
Greetings
keep up with the good videos. which eartips do you use?
Common Art Video W ✅
Have you tried the Yanyin Cannon 2’s ? I can’t decide between those and the ones you recommended. They would be just for gaming use.
I would like to Test the kiwis But i have to stick to the budget ones. I like my Zeros ;)
Thank you, you and isaac are the reason That i and two mates Switched from steelseries arctis 7p to the zero iems. Best thing ever happend to my ears.
hi do u just plug and play or do u use an amp dac? i just got my zeroes but for some reason in wz2 the gunshots are ripping my ears apart while footsteps are too soft
@@firdkoh I plug them into my monitor. Maybe something went wrong while installing. Delete everything and start with the Tutorial from Art is War.
My brother got an other monitor and had to buy a soundcard for better sound. Everything was low. The bass was intense.
if the orchestra lite and the moondrop blessing 3 were the same price, which one would you buy?
Can you please review the Sennheiser hd490 pro specifically for COD Art? Heard some very good things regarding them for competitive gaming but would be great to have your opinion.
Should or can I use IEMs like the Orchester Lite with the external sound card (Sound BlasterX G6), or should I get an amp? If so, do you have any recommendations?
Xenns Mangird Top blew me away for gaming and music. The price is not for everyone but daymmm
You made me Buy the Kiwi Ear Orchestra Lite from watching that Video im tired from open back headset my beyerdynamic dt 990 pro just broke! Thank You for making that video
and what is your experience ?
@xKamix unfortunately i didnt receive them yet still waiting for them to arrive cant wait though
My first iem based on your recommendation was the truthear nova, after few weeks is hurting my ear so bad… it is the wide body not the tips… at the end of this review you said that these ones are very large… how do you compare vs the nova ? Should I give it a try or if the nova was large to me these are a no no…?
For anyone that owns these, listen to the official version of the track Lowrider by WAR. It's such a treat.
What’s another option that’s comparable without the ear pressure? I don’t want ear pressure build up
Thanks for the vid! I have one question: I just bought a set of kiwi’s orchestra’s and I would like to use them on my PlayStation 5. What is the best way to use it? Through the audio jack in the controller or maybe with a separate DAC unit? Or better to use the Astro Mixamp?
Thanks for the video!
I use the Zero's myself, and i am on the fence of buying the orchestra lite or the new kiwi ears quintet, have you tried them?
My only problem is that i play on console, and the microphone solutions are not the best.
I've been using one of those cables for phone calls with a built in mic.
Do you have any mic advice for us console gamers?
Wanna try the quintets for sure. USB mics should work on most consoles, but getting it close will be a challenge. Gonna look into a boom mic solution soon!
Don’t know what were you using before these but would you say the IEM’s are worth it? I’m on ps5 with the PlayStation Pulse 3d headset and wondering if there’s noticeable difference and worth switching
@@killshot3331 you will definetly notice an audio quality improvement.
I owned a lot of headsets and headphones over the years.
My favourite right now are the senheiser hd560s for over the ear headphones and the truthear zero (iem's)
Wireless ones are much more practic but can't match the audio quality.
@@Patife_PT Alright cool, thanks. I can pinpoint direction and hear footsteps well when there’s not much commotion but for only $50 I might as well give them a shot. The only issue is no mic but I think I’ll just get a cheap usb one so I’ll have something instead of having to use the controller mic
@@Patife_PT @killshot3331 @ArtisWar I have the HD560s with a VMODA Boom Pro mic (which is excellent) now and am looking at IEDs but like you said, the mic situation is rough. Definitely would like to find a way to use the VMODA Boom Pro mic with it. Was thinking if there's a way to get a custom SHORT (2ft or so) 2 pin IED to 3.5mm female adapter so you can have enough IED cable to get around your ears but short enough to reduce the slop before plugging into the VMODA and then carrying the audio to your device (PC ports, controller, console, etc). The rest of the mics I'm seeing aren't really looking good. The VMODA is nice because it has a mute button and volume control and clips to your shirt to reduce the "pull" factor.
How do you drive these? I have used Astro a40’s with the mix amp pro. Recently grabbed the Beacn Mix create and the truthears but they sound way less surround sound ish and I’m struggling. Do I drive these externally or just 3.5mm them into the computer?
Did you get an answer to this?
Are you guys using stock motherboard sound ? What are you plugging these into ?
Hi nice video, How do i connect these to my gaming pc??? Do i need and audio face??
Preferably, but you can just plug them in straight to the PC 3.5 jack.
Curious how these kiwis are going to compare to my Dt900 pro x.
This is the headset I'll be covering in a future video, as well as giving away :)
so with these, you just plug them in directly or do you use a DAC or something else?
Do I have to change anything in particular on my audio for them to work properly with your audio settings? I was having trouble ke last nigth with my discord it was super low couldn't hear it
dude what camera do you use for these videos
Can u PLEASE compare the
(YANYIN Canon 2 vs KIWI Ears Orchestra Lite)
you have any recommendation for some who is dealing with tinnitus, that might work better than A40s/mixamp?
turtle beach stealth pro look them up for warzone reviews
I bought the truthear blues and they sound great but the directional audio is terrible. I hear footsteps clear but they sound extremely close when they’re not and it’s not accurate. Any way to fix this?
I use it with my soundblaster G6 but I can hear a very small white noise ... Any idea how to cancel this noise ? Thanks for all your advices !
noti gang.... #1 audio source for COD
Hey Art how would you compare these to the dt 1990 pros? Of course with both using your tuning and sound settings?
I scored a lightly used pair of orchestra lites and a hyper x quadcast for cheap on eBay. I’m planning on buying some aftermarket tips. My question is do I need a DAC? Or can I just plug these directly into my wolverine ultimate controller. Thank you for the awesome in depth review and all the work you do on the channel!
Side note: I had no clue what IEMs were until this video and still don’t know what a DAC is 😂. I just want to hear everything possible on mw2😂.
Soooo do you need a DAC?
Did you figure it out
Hey quick question.. Can you give a review on the new Razer IEMs that just came out.. They're called "Razer Moray" They have a $160 price tag and was thinking about getting them before I seen this vid. Even if you don't buy them.. could you give me your opinion based on what its made with? Thanks a lot in advance! Love your channel.. You help out a ton of gamers including me and I am very grateful for it
Overpriced, gamer marketing, dog doodoo i think. Crinacle gave them a C-
@@ArtisWar thank you for the reply ! That answers my question !!!
Hey, so I've been using the Samsung earbud Pro 2, but they only last a couple of hours before my ears start hurting like crazy.
If these don't work out, can you recommend something that's as good as the Kiwi but fits better for medium to smaller ears?
Hey! Have you tried truthear HEXA? It's $80 and that price is my limit. Is hexa good at gaming or music? Thanks for the videos!
Do you plug in IEN directly into aux on PC? Or get a dac/amp
Hey artiswar,
Love Your content man!
Ive been watching you for a while and love how in depth u go on every single topic u talk about.
Anyways so i’ve been Looking for some iems for mw3,
But the thing is, i have gotten Way to used to wireless headsets, so whenever Im wearing wired and have to go afk,
i allways forget to take headsets off,
Which have resulted in two wired headsets ending up with loose connections,
And at this point i have given up on wired 😔
Do you have any good recommendations for maybe allmost similar Sound iems,
but wireless?
Thanks on Advance 🙏
Kindly Regards,
Marc Abel
Hey Art i bought the Crinacle Zeros thanks to your video. Can you Make a video about how to set them up conect them. Or what is the best dac to pair with. Example i have the swiich modi and magni stack but i don’t know how to set them up.
Thanks in advance and as always excellent content keep it up.
So the Truthear Zero would be better than my beyerdynamic mmx300?
Do you use a dac with the Lites?
Would amp be required as a ps5 user may have missed it
Looking for those aftermarket tips but cant find the libk in description.. Anyone have recommendations for some that'll relieve pressure?
Really wanted to like these but I couldn’t get past the ear pressure. I think it’s just because coming from the Katos they have a vent or something
Hi Art, do you connect your Kiwi Orchestra to the controller or to the pc?
PC
Any solutions on how to minimize white noise with voicemeter and mixamp?
Do you have any setting videos for IEM headphones
Can I use these with an Astro mixamp or should I buy a different mix amp please let me know
u can use it with the astro mixamp but you will hear static as the iem are sensitive so u will need to buy a amp for it to be good
@@AlexanderThreeSix thank you do you know which amp would be the best ?
@@tberudy260 i bought the dx3 pro+ and honestly the dac/amp is future proof if u want a better headset later down the road
What about kiwi ears cadenza? Does that deliver same performance?
Hello - great video - Quick question / opinion. I’m currently using the AirPods max plugged into a decent DAC (Blaster G6) but I’m still searching for a better sound within warzone. Would you recommend these over AirPod max headphones?
Thanks
1000%
The AirPod max (over ear 550$ not in ear) sound great for music and movies but my primary use is conference calls for work.. I’m hoping the IEM’s have better sound separation.. I picked up the kiwi ears ol
Have you ever tried the Souncore Pro V10? I'll like your intake on those. I do like them but this is the thing. Great sound crystal clear. Wireless, they are made for VR experience, the down side is that if you will like the best sound quality' you need to use the dongle. However the dongle is registering to COD ricochet system as a cheating device and every time I plug them in. I play like 2 days and get shadowbanded. after 4 days I get my account back. I made a second account and got the same problem. Got back to my OMEN headset and no problem
Hi dude. If I get these in ear buds, can I book an appointment with you to help set it up perfectly with Warzone? Thank you.
Absolutely! Calendly link in description!
I use the Sennheiser HD 660S headphones, and playing warzone I enjoy it a lot more at the stock settings compared to my ATH m40x with Art’s warzone tuning. I wonder if IEMs are worth it for me, or if it’s just a lateral move
I switched from hd 660s to truthear zero's couple of months ago. And my opinion is that they cant even compete in the same universe. Once you switch to iems there is no way back. Its just really important to get some quality eartips that make them comfortable to use and have a good seal
Are they used with a Dacamp? I have Schiit Modi/magni. Do I need adapter or different dacamp?
