  • What is the best gaming IEM? Is there such a thing? Or is it all subjective? I am new to this area, and my ears are adjusting to the amazing world of IEM's. Which pair of IEM's do you recommend for gaming?

    recently got the truthear crinacle zero as my first IEMs, and in tarkov they make a huge difference, i went form not being able to tell if a player is flanking me from right or from left (with my Sennheiser gsp350 headphones) to literally tracking a player through wall as he comes at me by the sound of his steps. Clarity is also really good, i'm not worried about missing the steps in the rain anymore. But to be completely honest comfort wise they just suck, i take them off as as soon as i finish a raid cuz my ears hurt. Not sure what's the problem, i actually never found those vacuum earphones to be comfortable, so maybe it's just me. All in all, sound wise couldn't recommend them more

      I only have the DSP version of the Chu II so I can’t test it on my console, but the details I hear in music tell me it might be a solid pick for gaming. QKZ x HBB was the only other pair I’ve tried for single-player gaming and the immersion + boom from its extra bassy nature made it a really fun pair.

      @@olternaut So I REALLY liked the Kato. It was so great for gaming because it brought a more tempered excitement to sound, and was loaded with detail. Directional audio was awesome, footsteps were easy to hear and distinguish, and more! However, where it fell was with the interchangeable nozzles. I found that they did not stay put, and I always had to tighten them again. When loose, the sound was rattling, like something was loose. So because of that, I would say the Orchestra beats the Katos. If you don't mind dealign with that, KATOS all day.

    With the orchestra lites, the trick is to use a larger tip than usual but push it all the way down on the nozzle till the end of the tip almost flush with the nozzle. It’ll fully seal without actually going into your ear canal. The size and shape of the iem will still lock it into place and won’t move around or irritate your ear. Just try it. Once you have a good seal, those things are amazing!

It basically deals at the entrance of the canal without penetrating it. U just adjust the length the tip sticks out so that it pushes firmly against the canal entrance without going in and the rest of the iem frame kinda locks into your outer ear. That way it’s perfectly secure. It won’t move around and cause discomfort and also isn’t sodomizing your ear canal and moving around in there driving you crazy.
      Once I found that sweet spot, I played 7-8hrs with no soreness but still felt that they were there. After about the third day playing, I kinda forget they’re there other than the occasional itch from not having ventilation.

      Also, if you’re playing fps type multiplayer games like warzone and you’re using them for that precise directional audio and u can’t wear the orchestra lites the entire time and need something affordable to switch out to for a break, the 7hz sonus iems will fill that void perfectly. The directional audio precision is superb. I struggle to hear a difference in warzone as far as pinpointing enemies and they’re only like $60. I bought mine from Amazon in “used like new” condition for $44.
      They’re so good, I’ve bought a set for 2 of my sons, and then i bought one and sent it to my nephew in the air force and another to a discord friend I play with just to show how much better iems are than headsets for warzone. My nephew dropped his steel series headset for them and my discord friend uses them over his beyer dynamic dt770 headphones.
      The orchestra lites sound a little better as far as beauty of the sound goes but as far as game performance, I’m confident that nobody who tries them will be disappointed.
