    I guess there may have been some aspects of IEMs I did not know about haha. Regardless, I want to thank you all for the comments!
    Being somewhat deaf in my left ear, I may focus on comfort in any follow-up videos. Thanks again!

    Some of the problems are kz specific like the itchy ears, small soundstage and similar sound quality as your gaming headphones(which is indeed considered the worse sound you can get in audiophile community). Other brands like truthear hexa, even i think 7hz zero at 20 dollars have better sound quality than zs10 pro. Zs10 pros has a tad bit better imaging due to its super shouty treble peaks and BA timbre.

    Fiio UTWS5 (also provides on-board channel balance)/iFi Go Pods + Creative BT-W5 + IEM of choice. The only downside being the limited battery, so no all day gaming sessions, but for short bursts or playing a few hours on the go (ie steam deck) I find this combo quite appealing

    For a first video I have to say it is amazing, very cool editing and neat setup you got! As far as IEMS, would you consider yours to be bassy? Im trying to get into this world and I'm kinda overwhelmed with the amount of IEMS and price ranges, but I want ones with emphasis on the base.

    • @theVincentP
      @theVincentP  Год назад +2

      I really appreciate it! I do consider the ZS10s to be a bit bass emphasized so if you do choose to buy them I hope this helps.

    Try out Sennheiser open ear headphones. They're bulletproof. I've had my pair for 10 years. They're perfect for what you want, the open ear design makes them lighter than normal headphones and have really good audio quality.

    • @jNoSocks
      @jNoSocks Год назад

      Second this. In addition to being comfortable for hours and hours, the open back gives you a great sound stage that also makes for good directional sound in games. Also, they are amazing with music. I recommend the 560S as a solid pair to start

    • @VaskoGame

  • @dogewow8999
    @dogewow8999 Год назад +4

    Even the sub 10$ iems are better than a HyperX headset. I suggest you don't use the cheap IEMs with BA drivers, they irritate my ears. Try the QKZ x HBB for bass and soundstage, and Truthear Hola for a neutral sound with a slight bass boost. The Holas are really light and comfortable, make sure to use the right eartips for you. Both are 20$ or less

    • @dogewow8999
      @dogewow8999 Год назад

      Also if your sound card sucks or you want a combined jack and multimedia button functionality try a CX31993 dongle, the Openheart one preferably, they come with a Type C to A adapter. The dongle even powers big headphones effectively.

    • @dogewow8999
      @dogewow8999 Год назад

      The Truthear Hola's mic is more than enough for me, but you can also use a HAMA clip-on mic that also holds your iem cable onto your shirt as a bonus.

  • @hiimbonsai

    Been using IEMs for years and I will never have the feeling that they are particularly comfortable to me. I just don't like having something inside my ears. I still deal with it though because I like the sound and the isolation with them. I can just zone out with them way easier compared to headphones.

  • @fizz1ewinks

    I would recommend getting some foam eartips because they move around less, so your ears don’t get itchy. Great video though!

    there is a decent amount of streamers/pro players that have used the wired apple earpods for playing games and people say that the sound isnt that bad and that they are very comfortable (I havent tried out using apple earpods personally for gaming but I have used them a ton for just general use and they are nice)

      Itchy ears might be from the lower quality wire from the KZ zs10 pro or the earbuds tips if the itch is from inside, there are more premium options but they will cost you

      For Iems really depends on your budget. Simgot ea 500 are all the buzz rn. Truthear zero and hexa were previous poster child. New kid on the block is the Kz pr2 but there are only two reviews out rn

Though, its really sad that you got ripped off bruh, i mean, in indonesia, you can get the kz zs10 pro and zs10 pro x with just 33$, so sad for you bruh. My advice is you need to research the price for your iem thoroughly so you didn't get ripped off in the next time😊

    great video! and I just wanted to ask you real quick. right now I am thinking of switching from dt 770 pro to sennheiser ie 400 iems. and the only question I got here is do I need an amp to prove the sound and the quality with this iems? or is the GOXLR mini enough to handle it all?

    • @theVincentP
      @theVincentP  Год назад +2

      The GOXLR Mini is more than enough to support it all. This has to do with the impedance level of the headphones, aka ohms. GOXLR Mini supports up to 300 ohms.
