Warms my heart to see finally IEMs get popular for gaming and gain traction in big channels ❤

[MisfireKB]

This is one of the most consumer-friendly breakdowns of IEMs as a whole that I've ever seen. It was a super overwhelming, jargony space when I first got into it and you answered so many of the questions that I had at that time in such an easy to understand way. You've always been able to distill complicated topics down in a consumer-forward way, but this really hit the nail on the head. Those Blessing 2 Dusks might end up being a pickup for me after all

Awesome vid, more of this please

Crinacle is THE man for IEMs. Really cool to see his influence in gaming lately, as far as iem peripherals

[ellowell]

BadSeed is the perfect channel for getting a taste of slightly more niche hardware sectors like keyboards and audio. And as someone who is familiar with some sections he's covered, I can be confident in the research and level of detail he provides in areas I'm not as familiar with. Great stuff!

“Vanguard, in addition to being trash”…. Lmao that caught me off guard. Still need to point out how clean and well produced your videos still are with every upload. Lifetime sub man keep it up.

[duffdabsduffdies]

Straight up, your presentation sells authenticity. I will always watch. Thank you, sir.

[Ferryberg]

Bryan, a massive, MASSIVE thanks for one of the best vids I’ve seen on youtube! You absolutely hit the nail on the head with this line up and translated it from audiophile to a more consumer level. Just wanted to say thank you and keep up the awesome work! Cheers from a big fan from the Netherlands

The under $100 category has been quite a blood bath this year, I would definitely watch a budget IEM roundup for gaming video from you. People the Dunu Titan, so that might be worth checking out, then there's stuff like the Moondrop Chu for a measly *TWENTY DOLLARS, * and plenty of other stuff. There's also a re-tuned Aria called the Aria Snow that has the bass dropped just a tad. Plenty of other stuff to look at as well, those are just a few off the top of my head.

I'm not an audiophile but got intrigued with IEM's a couple years back. The ones I use are the Tanchjim Hana 2021. They go for $180 and sound great with good imaging and staging with a tuning close to the harman curve. The biggest reason I have them though is that they're super comfortable which is one of the most important aspects for gaming imo .

[ThNamesAL]

The Raptgo Hook X is definitely something worth taking a look at especially for gaming. Seems to be one of the only Planar IEMs that work well for competitive. Sound staging, imaging, and depth perception are top notch. For under $50 the 7hz zero and QKZ x HBB are very popular budget choices.

I've been using the Moondrop KATOs for some time now and was ready to upgrade to the Blessing 2 / Dusk, but despite a lot of research, you're the first person to point out the problem with the tips staying in your ear due to no lip. That sounds like a huge deal breaker for me, so thank you for pointing it out.

[metal]

Don't forget to add SA6 to your list in the 300-1000 range. I spent a lot of time with a B2D on a loaner tour and while it was ok on comfort that nozzle is just seriously thicc and isn't going to work for everyone. Now the Dunu is my office music daily

[kenshin]

The moondrop chu is honestly incredible for less than $20 with shipping. Nothing crazy ofc but a solid introduction and they come with the spring tips which are $10 on their own.

[StrayGodHarvey]

Always appreciate videos like this where you go into something you're not entirely familiar with. Cause I'm extremely curious about using IEM's for gaming and when you look up reviews, or suggestions and they start going into the audiophile jargon and IEM enthusiast speak it just gets confusing and I lose interest cause it feels like there's a crash course I gotta take before I can even understand what someone is saying to me. Your ability to do your research and make comparisons of what you're talking about it a clear and concise way that most people can understand is what puts you up at the top

[mannykathy]

I chose the Linsoul Tin Hifi T3 Plus over the Aria, details and sound stage are really great for competitive shooters, build quality is great and it's also less than 100$, I highly recommend.

im a simple man, i see anime girls on things, i buy

[famezy]

After watching a few reviews now I’ve got the £50 Crinacle Zero. As someone who owns quite a few headsets and headphones, I have to honestly say that the Crinacle Zero easily beats all of them for directional audio and footsteps. Even just plugged into the PS5 controller it was very good, but I’ve plugged them into my old Turtle Beach Superamp and it makes the Crinacle Zero even better and with Turtle Beach Superhuman mode turned on, omg it makes the Crinacle Zero literally a wallhack IEM. I literally can’t say how amazing it makes this IEM for competitive gaming with the Superhuman hearing mode on this superamp. It makes the IEM also much louder. One downside is, they become very harsh, but I’m ok with that as it extracts so much detail from the frequency. You can’t go wrong for £50 and I highly recommend it

[vapour_focus]

I've seen a bunch of iem and headphone reviews and this is "the" video to watch when it comes to comparison between price points and use cases, thank you!

[SwolePapi]

I will not claim to be an expert about iems but I am an avid gamer. Switching to iems a while back was one of the best decisions I made. Love my kz zs10 pros, have been looking into the truth ear zeros to give a try after seeing glowing reviews

[TorchicyGaming]

Sheesh the timing of this video is great. I didn't realize this was made 3 days ago and today I just got into researching about IEMs. Thanks for the video! :D
