Can find the squiggles here: freshreviews.squig.link/ - The hype 4 is so good, I am literally contemplating selling my 64 Audio Volur and just maining them. GREAT for the price to performance
That's very high praise!
That good huh? So 64 Audio Volur > Hype 4 ~= Monarch MK3 in your opinion? Or MK3 still better?
But still worse then XENNS Top or how should we see the tier list?
@@jasonblaise6786 the volur is still on top. It’s really a cost to performance analysis I’m doing in my head and on my wallet lol
@@iNxL yea the xenns top still edge out the canon 2 and the hype 4 in my opinion. All three are close
Probably the best of the surprisingly few game-focused hobby IEM reviewers.
Ty
Especially when he reviews the IEMs in specific games is exceptional, a holy grail for iem gaming channel
I love how you reviewed with different games in mind. That's what I've been looking for.
Happy that you are adding The Finals as a reference game. I love your reviews!
Thanks
Thanks so much for your awesome reviews! Keep them coming because everything I got off your recommendations have been amazing! I now have simgot, hype 4, senn hd 490, and soon the xenns top. I can’t stop listening to music and using them ingame. Would love to see you post onscreen what gear you’re testing when you’re live on Twitch.
Got really exciting seeing 4BA with 2DD, seems pretty rare! Right now if I´m gonna spend "big" bucks on iems these feel very tempting, as they are not a one trick pony doing just gaming and some music. Going from em6l to these seems like the logical step, the curves looks pretty similar.
Maybe you could try the performance in Escape from Tarkov.
Really excited for the Black Hole review. Love your content!
Yes a review for the Hype 4! Heard it is a more 'affordable' MK3
Testing IEMs with Tarkov would be huge. Audio is everything in that game.
Thank you for this video!
And yes, I would love for you to add Modern Warfare III to the list of games you test.
And yes, they did fix the footstep audio since launch.
In MW3 footstep audio is reduced to about 10' or so.
If you use the bone conductor perk it extends it to around 20'.
In warzone it's called Flex. Not sure why they call it that in warzone.
Footnote (MW3):
Covert Sneakers - Eliminates footstep sounds. Bone Conductor nor Flex can counter Covert Sneakers. This can mess with your results if you aren't mindful while testing. You won't hear footsteps but you will hear the jingle of equipment on the player and the direction of gun fire and other audio cues. This will depend on the iem.
Creating Private Matches does appear to give the same audio effect as found in a normal online match. Allowing for "repeatability".
...
When footstep audio is working you shouldn't need to tweak Speaker Output : Stereo/Windows Default.
From my understanding Stereo uses the developer downmix while WD uses your hardware.
To be honest I've haven't noticed a difference when the audio is working correctly. However, testing is needed to confirm.
When audio is broken (depending on update) you have to use stereo and enable Mono Audio. Then set Mono Amount to around 25 (+/- 2 or 3). Doing this allows for footstep audio depth/direction to return. Separation, layering, verticality and imaging still depends on the iem. Regardless if audio is working correctly or tweaking it in game do to it being broken.
...
I have to admit though. MW2 audio is still better in footstep and audio cues IMO. Perhaps do to the lack of "Ninja" as a perk.
Awesome review Fresh!!
I appreciate it!
Would love to hear your thoughts on the wall hack in Escape from Tarkov
Is the Sound Rhyme DTE900 on your radar? It competes in the kilobuck range according to reviews but can be had for 749usd
Would love to see how these two compare in games like Escape From Tarkov or Stalker GAMMA. Tarkovs mixing isnt the best so the audio can be off, but GAMMA from everything I've played has been pretty perfect. (plus gamma is free which is always a plus)
I’m curious as well. I’m looking to upgrade to IEM’s and mainly play escape from tarkov. I currently use dt 990 pro with soundblaster xg6.
@@tylerwright6998 I know this was 4 months ago, but I am thinking about making the same change and wondered if you made the swap? If so, which IEMs did you go to?
@@PlagueSan I made the switch to Crinacle zero blue IEMs and yes it was definitely worth it imo. It took awhile to get use to them for me though.
Escape From Tarkov is a game that needs help for audio directionality on the developer side, but it would be nice to hear your input on what IEMs you think would be best for a game like that. Shout out to OmidLive btw for linking your channel.
Thanks!
Agreed I’d love to find good IEMs for escape from tarkov.
As an EFT player myself I have spent hundreds on the right pair of IEMs to suit the game. Someone let me know if you find a winner!
I am currently using the Simgot EM6L, they sounded a little tinny at first, compared to the basier hyper x headset I was wearing. So they do take a little getting used to, but the clarity is really there. Now, Tarkov is a game with already broken audio, but overall they sound good and have let me hear things in tarkov's audio that I couldn't hear before. Music and content sound good as well. My only complaint is the ear tips that come with it seem to slide around my ear canal after a few hours of gaming, I have to clean the oil/sweat/wax off of them after a while so they stay snug. Maybe I can shop around for better tips, not sure. I'd give them a try for a budget IEM. Tarkov will probably have broken audio for a few years, but man, do these IEMs step up my audiophile game, and no more head band indent on my awesome hair.
I’ve been playing PUBG a lot more lately. It’d be cool to hear your thoughts on this game comparison. Love the reviews!
Hi Fresh Reviews, thanks for your awesome reviews on all the products. The gaming focus is particularly great, considering the significant differences between using headphones for music or gaming.
I've got a question: I've seen in numerous videos that the Moondrop Variations IEMs are considered the "non plus ultra" in the $500 range for music listening. However, in your review some time ago, they didn't make it to the Wallhack Tier List.
Do you think, after trying out so many other IEMs until now, it's possible that you might give the Moondrop Variations another shot? Do you believe your opinion on them might change with more experience?
Much love!
I don’t think they would change! Maybe worth another try, but I remember gaming performance not even being close to my standards
I’d love to know what you think of these headphones on Warzone! Would be amazing if there was a spreadsheet breaking down preference per title/music type. I know that’s a lot of extra work but just a thought. Unreal video. Beyond happy with my canon 2s
Hi fresh, could you possibly do a gaming iem ranking regardless of price and just performance alone? Thank you in advance
As usual Great 👍reviews n thank u fresh🤟
My pleasure!
Nice review Fresh! Your opinion on IEMs in cod would be fantastic!
Thanks, Dustin. I’ll begin to focus on cod
Nice review! Maybe I’ll roll my kiwi ears orchestra lite into the hype 4 one day. Unpopular choice, but I’d love to hear your top choice for Overwatch 2.
Originally bought the Moondrop Starfield’s as my first iem and really loved them for music, gaming not so much. Came across your channel the other day and saw your review of them and it makes sense. Bought the simgot em6ls to replace them for gaming and it’s a world of difference. I can actually hear footsteps and where gunshots are coming from again. Next purchase eventually has to be these hype 4s whenever they come off preorder. I’d rather not drop $400 and then wait 2 months to receive them. Thank you for the reviews, also adding Cod would be awesome!
Tysm. Totally agree. Brutal waiting for something when you unload a lot of dough
I just noticed that your gaming gear list in the description is not the same as the one on the "What Did I Keep at Year's End?" video specifically the mousepad category. Might need to check on it.
Aside from that, nice review as always Fresh :)
Oh let me check it. Sorry. I might have copy pasted the wrong thing
Great video as always. Would you say that the extra money for the xenns top is worth it ? For mix usage, more music than gaming
Mmmmm. The hype
And canon are super close to the top
Hey can you give me a brief how an iem like this or any of the other compare to headphones? spesfically the 560s because I own it.
Thank you so much for another fantastic review!! Got the Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite recently and they're absolutely insane for Apex, I think for the MID-range wall hack category he's the one that makes more sense, since is considerably cheaper than the rest. Also Based on your reviews, I got the Artisan Raiden and again, thank you so muchhhh for this haha, what's your recommendation in mouse feets for this pad? Currently been rocking the GPX with default skates.
Orchestra Lite’s are ridiculously good
@@IMF1821 hell yeah my brother!!
Do you include wz in your thoughts on this IEM ?
Another great video. Thanks!🎉
Recommend over the Mangrid Tea2?
Thank you too!
Haven’t tried the tea 2, I didn’t like the tea though
Hyped 4 Hype 4. Most likely will get mine in early Feb but its defo worth the wait
What would be the best IEM (budget) for Rainbow Six and The Finals?
Pubg pc has a directional shooting drill in training mode. It's based on hearing gunshot coming from the correct direction and tallys the score at the end. Could be useful for getting a score to compare iems for
Thanks for keeping the work up and trying to provide insights on the "best" IEMs for every price range :) What is the device that you have on the left under your monitor with the knob and white light bar?
wavexlr for a microphone
@@FreshReviewsYT Thanks a lot for the quick response! Had a look in the meantime into your setup video and saw it there! :) One question about it, is the knob only about the output volume from the microphone or is it used for audio volume? Background of my question is, I got the Fiio K9 AKM, sounds nice but would like to place it away further away from me but still would like to have a knob to control the audio :)
@@Raw6H The knob is used to control the mic. :)
@@chris93r Thanks a lot, also figured out, that I wouldn't be able to control the volume of the DAC anyways with any kind of external control. So will just mount it under my desk :P
Thanks for the great review!
I know this is a gaming focus video, but how does the Hype 4 compare to the Top for general music listening?
It’s been awhile since I’ve used the top. Going off memory, more bass and a bit warmer of a set.
Thank you very much for this awesome review! I was looking forward to the review of these since you mentioned the hype 4s.
I currently have the Kiwi Orchestra Lite's in combination with a Schiit Magni/Modi - stack.
I followed your recommendation for the Orchestra Lite and was amazed.
Now I want to upgrade my audio equipment again and was wondering what your thoughts are.
The new setup would primarally be used for competitive gaming (valorant, CS2) and music listening on the side (mix of various music genres).
I am unsure if I should pick the Topping A90D/D90SE stack or the DX9. Leaning towards the DX9 though.
Since I am undecided on the iem aswell (Hype 4 or Monarch MK3) I was hoping you could elaborate a little bit more on the differences between the two iems for the pricepoint.
I am ok with spending the money on the MK3 if it is a tangible difference.
I want you to get a proper kickback from Linsoul so i was wondering if there is anything I should be aware of when using your affiliate link.
Thank you very much in advance for taking the time to answer and all this awesome content!
You introduced me to the world of iems and I love it :)
Keep it up and have a lovely weekend!
I’d save the money and stay hype 4 over mk3. I like having an all in one unit right now. Love the dx9
@@FreshReviewsYT Thank you for taking the time to help me out!
Just bought it and can`t wait. Hope you get a good share from Linsoul :)
@@chris93r most importantly, just hope you enjoy and the recommendations I pride myself on work for you
You should take a look at the Tanchjim Kara, it's along the lines of the Aful P5, but cleaner sound with better imaging and $40 cheaper
What about for tarkov. What would be the best iem for that?
Hello, Im in the market for IEMS that have clean audio like you describe about the kiwi orchestra, light open and airy but not bright and sharp and less bass but noticable in a way, for streaming purposes I do game and play music (ambient and destiny 2, COD) games Do you have any recommendations?
Hey man just wondering what attributes make the Top better than the Hype 4? Is it the imaging or detail or seperation? Thanks in advance. Love your review.
It’s higher for all of those reasons yes.
Awesome review. Question, is the monarch mk3 worth the money compared to these, is the a big enough difference to justify the purchase? Also, as I already own the simgots, is there enough difference to justify the price of the hype 4’s? And, any chance you go back through your list to test all on the dx9?
Worth it over the Em6l particularly if you also want that bass experience and resolution for the price. It becomes more than JUST gaming.
Damn, looks like this is what I'm looking at for an upgrade, if only it came in red. The monarch mkIII looks like it will do everything I want, but that cost 😭
A wireless set of Headphone (wanted this most) or any kind TWS or gaming ones that works with PC gaming. I feel like cable are the best with AMP but I would love to owned a great gaming set with wireless capability too.
Just bought the Hype 4. I can't wait. I would love it if you didn't mind doing a tier list on IEMs for The Finals. I love this game. Also, as far as cables and ear tips which ones are you using?
Default has been working for me well!
Damn I was hoping there would be a clear winner between the Canon IIs and these. I think im leaning towards Hype 4s since i listen to a lot of bass heavy genres for music.
Definitely the hype 4 then
Thanks for the reviews.
I was going to buy it if it was better than Xenns Top... too bad.
Are you going to review the Hype 10 too ?
Eventually!
Hey Fresh! Jzst for curiosity, how do you like that Vaxee pad for apex? I just ordered a Gamesense Radar(2023version). Also the new Vaxee PB 2023 looks pretty good. Keep up the great work.🐐🐐
Great pads yea
I am close to buying new IEM thanks to your reviews , i play a mix of all games but the thing that stays consistent is that i always have music in the background , from what i could gather through your reviews i was considering the Linsoul Simgot EM6L but am not sure if i should just take some more money into my hands and get the Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite instead since both are in your WH list. What would u recommend ?
If I had to choose one, I’d go for the lite.
Just got Kiwi Orchestras, have Raptgo Hook X HBB. I thought the hooks were heavenly, but the Kiwis truly are a step up for gaming. Using my Ifi Zen DAC/Zen Can Amo stack to add the base into the Kiwis. Are the Tops, Cannons, or Hypes that much of an upgrade compared? I feel like the DD would take away some of that wall hack clarity.. Thoughts? For strictly sound footsteps no immersion or music
They’re a decent enough upgrade for sure
Could you do a review on the ATH r70x for gaming/wall hacks?
How do you compare this with the monarch mk3 in terms of gaming and music listening?
I knew it....arrrgh. I don't need another IEM...I DON'T NEED another IEM. Gotta pay Nacho off first though....WOOF! Great vid Freshy.... ❤
I bought Yanyin Canons 2 a few months ago thanks to your video! i quite like them but now I'm left wondering if upgrading to XENN Tops or Hype 4 would make any sense? Mainly for playing warzone as for music i use my open backs, thanks!
They’re already so good tbh. For gaming the percentages are very close. I’d only recommend side grading if you’re really just itching for something new. I do find the tops still slightly ahead.
Thanks for the review, would you put the Aful Performer 8 close to the Hype 4 and Canon 2’s in terms of depth perception, imaging and separation? I can find the Canon 2 and Performer 8 for $250-$300 on the used market, having trouble deciding which to go for.
Yes anything that is or was in my top 5 is very good and close
Hey @FreshReviewsYT what amp/dac would you recommend for around $350 or less? I’m running the Xenns tops and kiwi ears orchestra lites. For gaming use mostly only
Well I just saw your recommendations in your description, after reading review I went with the smsl c200
Xenns has been there for a very long time. I wonder what is going to take it down. what do you use to hear yourself in the iems when your on comms? I hate that ear plug feeling when you talk.
Would you be able to include puubg in your tests please ..thank you
Can’t thank you enough for recommending Kewi orchestra lite it is phenomenal,great job 🙏
Have you ever use Bose quite qumfort 20i !!
I know it is old but what do you think about it ,and again thank you ❤
Ty! Yea I’ve used the Bose. The Bose are 🗑️
Also got them because of fresh reviews, need more gaming focused sound signature
Do you use any type of extension cable or aftermarket longer cables for your iems? All the iems that I have come with ones that are too short to reach my dac/amp setup. Thanks!
I don’t right now. Mgiht be able to find some good ones off aliexpress
how would you compare it to xenns top for music
do you use the elgato wave xlr as your mic input / interface? i have a zen dac v2 but realised i need a mic input as well
Yes I do. Works great
@@FreshReviewsYT thanks for answering! also you cannot hear what youre saying because you cannot use the audio feedback from the wave xlr as youre using the topping?
Is it worth paying an additional £160 over Kiwi Orchestra Lite for FPS competitive gaming only or it's a bit overkill? With a focus on sound separation and precision with imaging, the bass is not as important.
I am looking for the best IEM to play PUBG Battlegrounds. It would be great if you could test this, Canan 2 or Orchestra Lite in PUBG. Thanks
Hi, I got the Sennheiser 560S from your recommendation a couple months ago, I love them!
I was looking to get into IEMS again, and I am in between this options for Gaming/Music: Hype 4, Monarch III, and the Xenns Top.
Within those 3 which one is best general all-rounder in your opinion?
Budget doesn't matter, my music playlists have a lot of variety, and usually oriented towards E-Sports in the gaming spectrum.
I like the hype 4
@@FreshReviewsYT Sold 👌
Any recommendations for someone with tight ear canals? I watched your review of the kiwi ears orchestra lite and that made me wary of the nozzle size "issue". How is the nozzle size on these (the Hype 4)?
Much better
Noob question: what happened to planar magnetic type IEMs? 7 htz timeless and similar? They were all the rage a year ago but im seeing less coverage of them. They not suitable for gaming?
None I’ve tried are remotely decent for gaming other than the zetian wu heyday
@@FreshReviewsYT whoa 😳 good to know ✅
How would you compare these to the xenn tops?
Hey Fresh, do you purely use the wave XLR to power your mic? And the streamdeck to use as a fader programn? Im currenlty using a go xlr mini and would love ot get a dedicated amp/dac stack to drive IEMs and headphones for the best experience. I wouldl love to know how you're routing everything!
I use my amp dac and stream deck separately. My wave xlr is only for my mic
I’m looking to grab a DAC/AMP set up to drive the Monarch MK3 over my GoXLR mini. Anything you would recommend? Or is the topping DX3 plus a good option?
I would love for you to test these in PUBG both Yanyin canon II & the Hype 4s ! Awesome review you made me get the kiwi lights but I sent them back and got the canon II. The lights were awesome for PUBG .
how are the cannon 2 in pubg vs the kiwi you had? @eclipsedwarrior?
@@opinn90 I ended up canceling the cannon 2 and got the Hype4s and they are incredible for PUBG
Could you let me know why you sent Lite's back? Are Canon 2 much better in PUBG? I am thinking about Lite or spending moooore money on Hype 4
I look at the frequency response curve and The Hype 4 have almost the same audio curve as the Xenns Top, are these two comparable since they don't have the same config, one is a 2 DD 4 BA and the other 1 DD and 8 BA
Both very good
Hi Fresh Reviews, thanks for ranking all these IEMs and specfiically for FPS gaming too! :) I would've liked to get the Xenns Top, but in my country they are very difficult to get. I can however get the Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite normally. Would you say they're good enough compared to the Xenns Top for FPS gaming, or should I just wait and see if they ever make the Xenns Top more easily available here? I'm already used to gaming with Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pros.
Oh 100% good enough. They’re close in percentage points
@@FreshReviewsYT Thank you so much for your quick reply. ^^ Time to order them! Subbed to show my support!
Ty!
The canon 2 sounds amazing lissening to multiple reviews but for EU this is really hard to get them! What about plugin them in? I can put the jacks into the pc or use something external?
Can put them in direct but it sounds better with a competent amp dac
@@FreshReviewsYTah ok, which one do you suggest? Still thinking about hyper 4 or the canon… the canon looks stunning!
I'd be interested in you reviewing budget portable dacs/dongles. I play games on my laptop during free time on job sites and cant be carrying around a Topping DX3 everywhere. There's a couple like the Tanchjim Space Lite, Moondrop Dawn, Fiio KA2/3, and Periodic Audio Rhodium, as well as some Chi-Fi generic CX31993, ALC5686, CS43131, ES9281AC chips floating around on Ali-Express. There is also the Ol' reliable USB-C apple dongle. I understand it would be a lot of testing but there's nobody comparing dac chipsets from a gaming perspective and it would definitely help people navigate the tons of different options to get the best bang for their buck.
hey fresh can you try the hype 4 in escape from tarkov?
I’ll try to
Will you do review for Simgot EA500LM? Really curious to see how it would perform compared to EM6L gaming-wise since the latter is a top contender on your budget wallhack tier list. TIA!
Yea!
@@FreshReviewsYT You're the best!
test hype's 4's in escape from tarkov
How do they work with Warzone, even though I know the audio is crap
Hey @FreshReviewsYT what is the name of the purple cable that you've attached to YanYin Canon 2 ? Also, if I already own the YanYin Canon 2 is it worth upgrading to Thieaudio Hype 4 ?
Its Tripowin Zonie
Thank you! @@N7Mari
Probably not unless you really really want a different tuning experience that might fit your music library more
should i get the canon 2 if they are 70$ usd cheaper than the hype 4, for r&b/rap and gaming? really appreciate your iem reviews!
If focused for both music and gaming I enjoy the hype 4 more for my personal taste
Great as always, would love to see Tarkov benched in some reviews! Also coming from pc37x (open backs for a decade), where should I start with IEMs to not be disappointed? EM6L? Canon/this? And what's the floor for improvement from 37x.... 900 pro x? Zeus elite? Thanks for the perfect content for a lot of us!
Start with the Em6l for sure. It’s a banger. If in a tight spot, I can also recommend the qkz hbb, truthear Crinacle zero blue, or the 7hz sonus
Cheers! I'm going head-first and getting a K11 and Zeus Elite as my first "real" gear.@@FreshReviewsYT
@@Trev0413 ayyyooooo. Let’s go
i’m new to the iem game, so other than the IEM itself, is there certain equipment I need to pair with them to connect with my computer? or is the aux port fine?
If you get a 3.5 cable you can use the aux port.
Hello @FreshReviewsYT - Did you ever get to try these in Tarkov?
Thanks. Unfortunately I haven’t yet
Okay, thanks a lot for your quick reply! :) I do think I will be buying these, or the Canon 2, so its a really though decision.. :D@@FreshReviewsYT
Hey! I’m a newbie in IEMs and was wondering if the footsteps in PUBG is refer to what type of sounds? And can you recommend an IEM around $100! Tysm😊
Simgot em6L or truthear Crinacle zero
If you are currently using the dunu vulkan would you consider this a significant upgrade? or would getting a solid dac/amp combo be more beneficial.
Dac amp
@@FreshReviewsYT do you prefer the zen dac or topping dx3 pro keeping gaming in mind.
So, in this price range, the xenns top is still king? Also, what tips do you recommend, and would the hype 4 be an upgrade from my hook x? Love the review and keep crushing it
Yes upgrade from the hook. I use default tips. Tops still on top for gaming
@FreshReviewsYT appreciate the reply. I've been enjoying the Twitch streams as well. Thank you for the honest feedback
How close is the Simgot EM6L to the midrange top 7 in your opinion?
he mentioned in a video that it comes close to the orchestra lite.
How do they compare to the Hook-x?
which iem would you recommend specifically for apex under a 100$? if possible, another one with best versatility for all games and music
See my description
Hey I am loving your content, I love how you also take gaming into consideration when reviewing IEMs. I just had a couple of questions regarding your IEM Wallhack tier lists. How far off are the different budgets from each other? For example the number 1 in budget (em6l), how close would it be to the number 1 in mid range (xenns top)? Is there a big difference in sound positioning and sound stage? Or is it only a difference in quality?
On my tier list, the Em6l would be about a B, and the xenns top an A for competitive gameplay. For music, the spread is further for my tastes. The em6L is a great IEM.
@@FreshReviewsYT do you have a spreadsheet or something so we can see all the grades side by side?
@@issa3632 I’m working on a large spread sheet. It just got delayed because of my second child being born and being pulled in other directions with time. I promise I’ll work on getting it posted soon
oooooh, congrats! That is wonderful.
There is no rush at all, I was just asking in case it was already made and I didnt see it. @@FreshReviewsYT
@@issa3632 areas of improvement to look for between the two are depth perception, separation and staging being a bit better for emphasis on cues on the top. Both are really good and if your budget only allows for the Em6l you can’t go wrong and will be satisfied for comp gaming as long as they’re comfortable for you. Lmk if you end up getting one or the other
Based on your knowledge sound wise only the Hype 4 vs Harmonicdyne Zeus Elite. Is there a big enough difference that in your opinion to go one or the other for gaming?
Both are very good. I think the options between the two should boil down to your preferences for IEM vs headphone. Personally between the two, I think I’d go hype 4 personally. The hype 4 is a very special iem. Fun, great for music,
And just generally bad ass in most titles. If you decide a headphone is best for you though, the Zeus elite slaps
I am a warzone only player. I hope you could include that as one of your titles
So basically WZ3 would be best to use the hype 4?
Well it looks like i dont have to save up for the momarch mkiii anymore…
How are these in terms of size vs the monarch MK3? I went for the H4 because I figured it would be smaller in the concha. Are they any different?
They seem similar to me. But I could be wrong. I don’t have my monarch mk3 right now to compare
@@FreshReviewsYT I appreciate the response! Aways love your videos, keep up the stellar work!
I still haven’t decided on the choice of red or blue Truthear x Crin Zero, the blue ones are more suitable for games, but I would like the sound for music, I plan to buy an additional cable and a not very expensive DAC, in general I’m investing somewhere in the 90-100 range, which Comparable to Simgot EM6L, but I'm still not sure if the laptop's sound card will be able to reproduce these IEMs properly, what would you recommend to choose? I can't decide for a few days now :(
There might be some nice things from SMSL around the 100 mark
@@FreshReviewsYT what about headphones, a set of cheaper ones would be preferable to simgot in stock?
YESSSS 😤😤😤
hey man. Which IEM would you recommend that can compete with the hd800s for gaming, at a similar price range
Just get the xenns top and call it a day
hey man just wanted to if you still recommend the zen dac v2 for gaming? Im currently on the fiio k7 but it adds too much base and im looking for one that improves more soundstaging
For IEMs the dx3 pro + is great
and for headphones?@@FreshReviewsYT
Great review, I play Escape from tarkov, I have hard time to decide between Kiwi ears orechstra lite or Yanyin Canon 2, I don't know what would you recommend me for this kind of games.
I’ve heard from many the orchestra lite are great for tarkov
After some tests if that can help anybody else, the orchestra lite are incredible in Tarkov, You can pin point the ennemies even from far away. The only bad point are the original tips, bad sound no bass bad imaging, I had some old Final Type E tips and that was like night and day, but they fall of very easily . I've heard some good things about the SpinFit W1 for the orchestra lite, need to try them...@@FreshReviewsYT
I'm surprised the hype 4s are 2nd considering the cannon and topp were so interchangeable in the cannons review.
Ive been watching your reviews and ive honestly been loving them, but one question that I have is if you‘d pick over ear over Iems / what is better? Ive only recently gotten into this, and thought making these choices would be really easy but its been really hard to decide between iems / over ears. Im currently thinking of just getting the hype 4s to game and listen to music with, but I wouldnt want to come to regret that decision if over ears ended up to be far better. Would love to hear your opinion. Thanks 🙏🏾
I think IEMs and headphones are at a point performance wise that you should really go with what you would prefer comfort wise.
@@FreshReviewsYT thanks a lot, then ill give the Hype 4s a try 🫶🏾
