Hey man, do you plan to do a full review on the EM10? If not, if you could give a short comparison vs the hype 4 or xenns top I would really appreciate it
@@everythinghappens4189 he has many above xenns top. Personally, I find the xenns top so good for gaming I never needed another iem. I've tried a lot, lot of $1000+ iems The only ones that I considered keeping for gaming were the u12t, xenns top, and shanling me600
i have been into audio for 15 years, consuming anything and everything on the internet to learn, as well as (of course) buying all sorts of audio gear. Never have I ever come across someone who reviews audio gear who is straight to the point, wastes no one's time like this reviewer. Just learned about this channel today, will be pinge watching to no end. THANK YOU
Keep hunting for the best gaming IEMs. I want something as impressive or better than the Orchestra Lites but made to be more comfortable. My short review of the Antlion Kimura Duos is that while good enough for every day gaming, they do seem to get overwhelmed when a lot of sounds are happening around the listener....in my case while playing Escape from Tarkov. And I do notice a certain hollow kind of sound which a reviewer on another channel suggests might be the "timbre". But I'm not an expert. You may know more.
I want to buy great all-purpose iems, currently ordered the SM4 and the FiiO Ka17. I think I will upgrade eventually, at first there were only positive reviews, now I'm reading and people don't really like them, the same Splendor you like better))) What would you recommend for pop and for games? budget up to 1000 dollars ( of course better price-quality, if the iems for 600 dollars is not much different from 900, it's better for 600. ahahahah ), preferably several models, I would be very grateful!
Holy... two heavy hitters in one video? IEM market is kinda crazy this year. Also, great review! Very easy to follow along when describing the tuning. The issues on the Da Vinci with shooting and hearing movement in COD seems to correlate with some other reviewers' slight issue with the prominent mid bass obscuring the mids.
can u plz review and compare some of the best 20 dollar iems for competitive gaming(i personally play valorant most of the time) edit-like my comment plz so that fresh review can see my comment :)
I'd love to hear your thoughts on portable dac / amps for gaming. I have Moondrop Click, and Dawn Pro but both of them do not support in-line mic on the 3.5mm jack (Dawn Pro has super clean audio but you may test for gaming). My requirements are good holographic sound and in-line mic support since I play on a laptop with limited USB slots. My iems are 7Hz Sonus, and Zero 2.
Wow, both sound like they would fit my library. Davinci for thumpy songs, action movies and single player games. Mega5 for instrumental OST, vocals and fps games. Thanks for the review Freshy. (rummages through couch cushions for loose change)...WOOF! 🐶
I was waiting for the Davinci review. Had a feeling the bass wasnt going make it a great comp set, but im glad that youre recommending it for immersion gaming.
Hey Fresh, thanks for the review. As I am interested in the davinci, would you mind testing it with the tape mod reducing the bass to see if this fixes the concern you expressed about the bass being to dominant and occluding apex ?
Hey fresh i hope you doing good, i was thinking how about we branch out a bit from this IEM quest because realistically it will never end considering how many IEM getting released on daily basis. how about a new quest of finding the best headsets for example ? from the known brands like logitech - astro - steelseries ..etc or even unknown ones and maybe focus more on the sub $100. idk just suggesting stuff. ❤❤
Oh please. I suddenly have this itch for a wireless planar that’s supposed to be good for music and conference! Looking forward to your Maxwell review!
I have a LOT of IEMS. I have both, the Davinci and the Mega5-EST. The Mega5-EST has rocketed it's way to the very top of my favorites list. It is competing with IEMs WAY out of it's price bracket. It has blown me away. Speaking from a music standpoint, not gaming. The Davinci is a bass cannon and has bass bleed into the mids.
I have the DaVinci and its become my daily driver but I don't play competitive games. For the RPGs and story led games I mostly play, its great. The key here though, is that the Mega5est is nearly twice the price of the DaVinci and getting into the realm of the higher end IEMs. I'd probably take the Softears Studio 4 over the Mega5est. Oh and all the sales are on, so you can pick it up at a more reasonable amount (I have the Aful Performer 8, so not really looking at that tuning/price).
Have you heard of the new Juzear 61T Butterfly? It appears to have very good Soundstage with great height separation from the reviews. I just ordered it since it appears to punch well above its weight class and looks astonishing
Just tested it in Apex and IMO it’s at least on par with the SM4. You can pinpoint exact enemy location with it. And it’s the best sounding IEM I have heard thus far!
Im a fan of your channel because of your gaming perspective on iem, have you considered the FatFreq iems? Im very interested on you take on the FatFreq MAESTRO MINI and the MAESTRO SE maybe. Great video btw
I love FatFreq, and own three of their sets. The Grand Maestro is my personal endgame set, waited five months for a Scarlett Mini, and still think the Maestro Minis are one of the best deals in the hobby if you’re looking for a basshead set. Unfortunately, besides the Grand Maestro, which can be tuned for better staging and has near perfect imaging, the rest of FatFreq’s sets don’t really work well for gaming without heavy EQ. Bass can often be the enemy of good soundstage, making the overall tuning much more intimate and more “in your head.” Again, love their sets, but I think if you’re looking for a “bass heavy” set for gaming your ceiling is going to be sets using this current “meta” tuning.
Hey Fresh can you review arctis nova pro wireless? İ really wonder how it is compare to iems (especially arete) or if you've already tried it can you tell me your thoughts?
having a Mega5EST for a gaming IEM.. not quite using an Sennheiser HD 800S, but damn $550.00 is a spendy audio option for PC gaming! I would more likely get the Ziigaat Arete
Hey, so I just got the iFi Zen DAC V2 and a pair of DT 900 Pro X’s, predominantly for competitive gaming and am wondering if I should run the Zen at Fixed or Variable, and what “color” setting? I think it’s the Green MQA setting but figured I would ask you! Thanks in advance, your videos have helped me a lot in upgrading my audio experience.
Hi Fresh, what would you recommend an upgrade from Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite, I prefer a bit more bass for music but keep all the cleanliness in competitive gaming
@@FreshReviewsYT I want everything of everything the latest and greatest so whenever a new phone, monitor, mouse, or IEM comes out I run to the store to buy it. It's like a permanent subscription living rentfree in my head draining my money.
Have you tried the ARTTI T10 Planar IEMs for gaming? All the reviews I watched prior to ordering lauded the imaging and sense of space as well as the clarity in the upper mids. With cons of being a bit sharp iirc. Kinda screams wall hack approval candidate, at least for Valorant. Curiosity got the best of me, firstly because $50 planar!, then for general audio listening and finally for Valorant, so have a set coming on a slow boat from China. That said, providing a review ONLY comparing my beloved 7hz Sonus, Zero2 and Reds is pretty worthless all told, given the similarities between those three and it had better be better than my previous go to SHP9500s.
Any chance you will ever test out Dongle DACs? The new ONIX Alpha XL1 has received praise from a few top reviewers stating it is the best dongle on the market by a good margin. Also I know you recommend the DX3 pro as the best gaming Dac/amp in the $200 range. Is there there anything better in your opinion in the $300-500 range that you would consider a solid or substantial upgrade? I’ve seen the DX5 lite for $250 and SMSL DO400 for $400.
Please help me with my choice, I need good iems for gaming and music, source is FiiO Ka17, preferences are pop/rap/punk/postpunk. I am considering Mega5Est, Canon 2, Hype 4, Xenns Top. Maybe there are some other options that would be most recommended for my tastes?
Good video. Do you have any experience with new sen hd620s closed back headphone? I am considering hd490pro vs hd620s for cod, pubg, r6 competitive gaming. Which one do you recommand? My pc is low noise with notua fan but sometimes openback like dt1990pro leaks sound to my mic so it is hard for me to choose one. Can you help me fresh?
Could you make a review for the Letshuoer S08, it seems like one of the best planar iems out there and budget friendly, I wonder how they perform while gaming ! Please ! :o)
In general for gaming do you say you prefer IEMs or Headphones ? I am between chosing one from your wallhack tierlist, and i play fps but i also like to play single player games. If you had made a video comparing the two aproaches i can go see it.
The AFUL Performer 5 is currently on sale for $165, is this a good price or is there a better iem for around that price point like the SIMGOT SuperMix 4 for example which is currently $135. Thanks!
Interested in what you think of the Maxwell that I heard you mention at the end of the video as I'm wearing mine right now and think they're pretty good but not as good as my iems for gaming imo but the convenience of wireless and insane battery life makes up for that as I mostly play single player/pve games these days anyway.
Hi, I just broke my Simgot EM6L so I’m looking for a new IEMs or headphones. I hesitate between Simgot Supermix4 and Sennheiser HD560S. In your opinion which one would be the best for rainbow six siege?
i would like to buy a neutral sounding iem under 100 dollars i thought of buying hexa how you guys think i rarely listen bass songs, other than that i like to listen all types of songs can u suggest me any better or the hexas are great for neutral sounding
I've compared them with hexas they are warm little v shaped but i need a neutral sounding one btw thank you for your reply if u can suggest any other I'll wait for your reply ♥️
best iem for small ears? if anyone knows any besides the "GL-AMT16". i cant seem to get a good seal or if I do they start to budge out when talking or eating.
That's a loaded question weezy. "Best" is subject to personal comfort and listening. Shell size (how it sits in the outer ear area. Nozzle size (depth into ear canal) For this i suggest trying different size eartips (tip-rolling). Be aware that this may change the sound signature alot. And will add to your cost. Use focus? All-rounder for games, movies, music. Or specifically for what type of games, or music genres. Budget? Under $25, 50, 100, 300+ etc. Woof!
@@Doggie64 main use will be gaming and music as for the games I play are "valorant, cod, r6, and elden ring". The music I listen too is all over honestly. as for price range anywhere from $50-$350 is where I'm comfortable spending on a iem rn as I'm new to the hobby. I know for a fact the "GL-AMT16" will be a good fit but the price is just insane but I currently use the "Truthear x Crin Zero OG" I get a good seal for a lil but doesn't last like I said. i haven't tried different tips but might have to buy the "spinfit W1". Thank you for the reply BTW!!
i felt everything you criticized about hisenior. i've been using truthear crinacle zero blue since last december and yesterday i realized it was a huge disadvantage i've put myself in for months. it might sound skill issues but no, 5.9 kd mnk player here :) yesterday i switched to my old headset which is corsair hs80 and oh my god, i can hear footsteps now. most of the time i could never tell which side enemies were coming or are they below or above me etc... and i was blaming the game all the time. but yesterday i had enough and wanted to give a chance to my hs80 after all the months and i found out the audio is not that bad in the game lol... my kill instantly increased and i am much more confident when pushing enemies now. but i have to say that iem's give much more comfortable feeling. i also would like to believe that iem's for good gaming but despite all the praises it gets truthear zero is so bad for fps gaming scares me about buying another iems.
@@siyabendbartin more likely than not yea. You’ll notice a difference moving to something else. At least worth a try if you can return it to Amazon. Topping dx3 pro +
@@FreshReviewsYT unfortunately it cant be shipped to my country. (turkey) honestly i lost my trust in crinacle zeros lol. i think it would be better to try a new IEM (not sure if it'll make a big difference than crinacle zeros) but according to your video i found out that your other IEM recommendations for cod also cant be shipped to my country or not affordable for me. so im considering to buy nova 7x or cloud 3 or blackshark v2 pro/hyperspeed wireless models :/ youre also recommending sennheiser 490 but its also not affordable for my budget.
@@FreshReviewsYT I haven't tried them but generally my experience is that too much bass affects technicallties and the perception of the instrumentation and I love to hear every single instrument especially in busy tracks I think it's very interesting.A bassy iem for EDM For me is a secondary nota primary one
Hey, so i tried the 560s, dt 900x, and a few other headsets from your list, and they all sound awesome. I am now looking at iems, thinking about the fiio fh7s on amazon. Have you tried them before?
Hello fresh, I am new to your channel and have been enjoying your videos a lot, they’re so informative and I have learned a lot. I recently got a viper v3 pro and it’s honestly replaced my super light, I’m loving it. Now I want to up my sound game. I’m coming from a PC38X, and my budget isn’t that large so I’ve been in between the DT 900 Pro X and the supermix 4s. Are IEMs actually good for competitive gaming? Any not very expensive mic recommendations (since iems and non headsets don’t come with one). I am also thinking about the Splendor 2 and your Aretes, but they might be too expensive for me + a mic. Any knowledge you can share with me?
I like the splendor and Arete much more than the supermix. But the supermix is good. The 900 beats the supermix. The supermix gets close though it does perform well. For mics the elgato wave 3 is pretty solid for a desk option
@@FreshReviewsYT Alright then. I will look into either of those. What’s your take on the IEM vs Headphones for gaming? Also, have you seen those attachable boom mics for IEMs?
The dunu davinci is a 2DD 4BA set. The mega5est is a 1DD 2BA 2EST set. Both using nice drivers with Hisenior opting for Sonion BA and EST

The music I listen too is all over honestly. as for price range anywhere from $50-$350 is where I'm comfortable spending on a iem rn as I'm new to the hobby. I know for a fact the "GL-AMT16" will be a good fit but the price is just insane but I currently use the "Truthear x Crin Zero OG" I get a good seal for a lil but doesn't last like I said. i haven't tried different tips but might have to buy the "spinfit W1". Thank you for the reply BTW!!
Try the splendor ii
Just got the sm4, anything I can do to make it sounds better ?
Other than having a decent source no. I keep sound on stereo with no Spatial Audio effects
What do you think of them compared to regular headphones for gaming?
i felt everything you criticized about hisenior. i've been using truthear crinacle zero blue since last december and yesterday i realized it was a huge disadvantage i've put myself in for months. it might sound skill issues but no, 5.9 kd mnk player here :) yesterday i switched to my old headset which is corsair hs80 and oh my god, i can hear footsteps now. most of the time i could never tell which side enemies were coming or are they below or above me etc... and i was blaming the game all the time. but yesterday i had enough and wanted to give a chance to my hs80 after all the months and i found out the audio is not that bad in the game lol... my kill instantly increased and i am much more confident when pushing enemies now. but i have to say that iem's give much more comfortable feeling. i also would like to believe that iem's for good gaming but despite all the praises it gets truthear zero is so bad for fps gaming scares me about buying another iems.
What are you running the zero on? On board audio?
@@FreshReviewsYT yes i dont have any additional sound card, only b450 tomahawk motherboard. is it any problem?
@@siyabendbartin more likely than not yea. You’ll notice a difference moving to something else. At least worth a try if you can return it to Amazon. Topping dx3 pro +
@@FreshReviewsYT unfortunately it cant be shipped to my country. (turkey) honestly i lost my trust in crinacle zeros lol. i think it would be better to try a new IEM (not sure if it'll make a big difference than crinacle zeros) but according to your video i found out that your other IEM recommendations for cod also cant be shipped to my country or not affordable for me. so im considering to buy nova 7x or cloud 3 or blackshark v2 pro/hyperspeed wireless models :/ youre also recommending sennheiser 490 but its also not affordable for my budget.
I think Timmy made mistake with the bass in Da Vinci
It’s cool though for music and entertainment.
@@FreshReviewsYT I haven't tried them but generally my experience is that too much bass affects technicallties and the perception of the instrumentation and I love to hear every single instrument especially in busy tracks I think it's very interesting.A bassy iem for EDM For me is a secondary nota primary one
Hey, so i tried the 560s, dt 900x, and a few other headsets from your list, and they all sound awesome. I am now looking at iems, thinking about the fiio fh7s on amazon. Have you tried them before?
I haven’t unfortunately
@FreshReviewsYT no worries, man. I'll give them a shot
Do you have an iem choice primarily for single-player and casual multi player? Around $360 budget.
@@nickb365 ton of good sets honestly including my top picks on the mid range list.
Solid video as always!
Appreciate it!
Really…more iems?
Hello fresh, I am new to your channel and have been enjoying your videos a lot, they’re so informative and I have learned a lot. I recently got a viper v3 pro and it’s honestly replaced my super light, I’m loving it. Now I want to up my sound game. I’m coming from a PC38X, and my budget isn’t that large so I’ve been in between the DT 900 Pro X and the supermix 4s. Are IEMs actually good for competitive gaming? Any not very expensive mic recommendations (since iems and non headsets don’t come with one). I am also thinking about the Splendor 2 and your Aretes, but they might be too expensive for me + a mic. Any knowledge you can share with me?
I like the splendor and Arete much more than the supermix. But the supermix is good. The 900 beats the supermix. The supermix gets close though it does perform well. For mics the elgato wave 3 is pretty solid for a desk option
@@FreshReviewsYT Alright then. I will look into either of those. What’s your take on the IEM vs Headphones for gaming? Also, have you seen those attachable boom mics for IEMs?
