      nah larger and more audio drivers do tend to handle audio quality better overall as a general rule of thumb, albeit thats not always the case but a 12in sub handles its frequencies better than an 8in sub in general for reference... i feel like iems have gotten popular for comfort for the most part im sure there are some great sounding ones but the market is so over saturated with em that i doubt most of them even sound all that great compared to most larger headsets, just my $0.02..... id wait for more audiophile companies to hop on the train just to get a more trust worthy product to test overall

      @@TheRCBuildersPostit makes sense. Headphones will (most of the time) have a better soundstage and “openness” to them, giving you the feeling of audio coming from around your head than inside your head/ear. That is crucial for immersion and competitive advantage.
      IEMs main strength is their portability, drivability, and their tuning - they are much easier to tune and you can achieve a more natural tuning that you can make finer tweaks and adjustments.
      Also, I’m pretty sure the quartet is a very dark sounding IEM, with a lot of emphasis on bass and lower-midrange and treble is kinda recessed. You definitely want a bright tilt to your headphones for gaming for identifying footsteps and gunshots and their positioning. Considering that the Stealth 700 is V-shaped, it makes sense why you’d prefer that.

      I feel like truthear zero is beaten out at this point, but thats more for my taste tbh. Kato is basically only relevant if youre in love with the aria and want a better sounding version. But i feel like personally I'd go for something like the Tangzu Wu Zetian Heyday or Yume Midnight or even a used blessing 2. Like i copped a used Blessing 2 on ebay for $209 the other day and something like that shreds a kato imho. Still tho solid sets, just the market evolves so quickly that even everything i shill is gonna be irrelevant in 2 weeks 🤷‍♂️

    I’m just gonna add another comment recommending the Truthear x Crinical Zeros. They’re 50 bucks, and they’re the best pair of gaming headphones I’ve ever had. Dont bother with this corny IEM + Mic setup. Spend 100 bucks on a Blue Yeti mic, and 50 on the IEMs mentioned before and thank me later.
