Antlion Kimura IEM Mic vs Kinera Gramr & Ethos MKII Boom Mics

[@vrzlev]

0:47 How did no one commented on the best intro in KZbin history? F'ing gold mate

[@phobophobian7765]

Dmitry of Hardware Canucks just reviewed this Kimura mic today as well. He said more than once how he felt the need to EQ the treble of the mic to add a bit more clarity to it. Well, from your tests, it seems what he wanted was the Gramr mic sound out of the box.

[@ImStoic]

Loved this review! I've very new to the idea of using IEM's for gaming and this review is perfect in showing me the "mic selection" in the IEM space

[@SenorOzo]

Nice comparison and I like how this vid gets down to business without the memes. I’ve got the kinera but with the Raptgo hook-x and my ear shape they keep falling out.

[@Medsas]

lol now you gotta do the celest ruyi iem mic that dropped last week, it never ends😂

[@jpsp3901]

It seems to use the same mic as the Gramr.

[@First.Last.99]

@@jpsp3901 not sure about that, meaning, in reviews, it sounds different.

[@pocketstoosumo]

the ruyi sounds really bad compared to the gramr, it's definitely worth paying extra for the gramr imo

[@patrickroza3073]

What attracts me to the Gramr is that you retain a higher quality balanced cable with 4.4mm support

[@__vha]

I use the Gramr with my Schiit Fulla and it is fine. Like you said it's a bit sensitive and prone to blowing out. I'd like to get the Kimura but the cable quality seems worse and many users have complained about the cable noise as well. Hopefully they release an updated version that has a more "enthusiast grade" cable like the Gramr.

[@AdventureGuild-DM]

Great review, actual sincere effort to give good information. Thank you!

[@Metal_seer]

I plan to get noise cancellation for the Kamura by plugging it into an Ankerwork m650 wireless mic, which also adds a mute button. The Antlion sounds MUCH better to your comparidon mic. Thsnks for the review.

[@Malix_Labs]

Great review, thanks a bunch

[@vitorortizcardoso2834]

I absolutely loved your intro. Great video. Thanks.

[@C4PPYDK]

Now we need a review of the Celest Ryui which is also Kinera Mic just cheaper and with mute and control on the cable.

[@tornmyhibula]

is it the same quality?

[@EdgarVeras-wq4xz]

Fingers crossed 🤞 he does also Ps5 compatible?

[@Cyrus92178]

I don’t understand why they made the gramr with the left pins that fit and the right one is too big and loose.

[@usa3428]

Finally a review that showcases background noise!!!

[@A-G-F-]

Now there is the Tiandirenhe Game Boom, the Pirole 2 pin, the Kinera Sky Wing, the Kinera Ruyi, the TRN Red chain plus GAMR, the CVJ Hato, i think a part 2 sounds like a good idea nowadays 😅

[@imsorrymissjackson21]

what would you say is the best one for phone calls?

[@eboboboy]

have you tried the Kinera Sky Wing? AFAIK its the only unidirectional mic compared to others.

[@A-G-F-]

@@eboboboy i have only tried the Red Chain and Sky Wing, and the Sky Wing sometimes only detects one of the two microphones, mine was also poorly isolated, it basically picked up a lot of static.

[@eboboboy]

@@A-G-F- thanks so much for this precious info! Rarely find much info about Sky Wing. It might be like you said, not really useful, even with a unidirectional mic.

[@chasington]

Can you do a video on your favorite IEM for FPS gaming?

[@k1ngRams]

Man I been tryna find a good mic that doesn’t pick up a lot of background noise

[@YohnzyRR]

Can you do a review on the Kinera Celest RUYI?

[@paulromero1742]

Which would be the best microphone for presentations like ministering or apologetical someone with a voice that gets loud and soft

[@Mario_Mendez75]

Can those fit on the KZ ZS10pro X that have a 0.75mm jack? or there is another option?

[@teto6180]

How does it sound when you disable the stock EQ and use discord sound suppression or AMD and NVIDIA’s sound suppression?

[@nunya6684]

Is the Kimura tuned via any processing on the PC? Or is this sound test just out of the box? Heard another review of the Kimura that left me unimpressed. Honestly been looking for one that I can use with my phone, so tuned reviews aren't super helpful

[@Shirtlessaudiophile]

The antlion sounds fuller it seems it picks up less high pitched tones and doesnt sound as high pitched

[@Bell___1]

I have the red truth ear and they are amazing 😩

[@badkohai3113]

I am having problems with the Kinera Gramr just got it and the microphone barely picks up my voice at least on Xbox it picks up my voice when I’m talking really loud can’t soft talk because it won’t pick it up, on the other hand on phones it picks it up pretty well so I’m not so sure on what to do.

[@TheBoyComeHome]

If that's happening in party chat on Xbox see if you can try turning off the new noise suppression setting that ads a noise gate and other features for background noise removal.

[@badkohai3113]

@@TheBoyComeHome thanks for the suggestion it worked very slightly, I did try that before the comment I put up so I think it’s definitely an Xbox issue. I got another work around by using another headset with a sensitive mic with a different account on another controller.

[@liamdendekker318]

do you have a option for microphone monitoring?? to hear yourself while you talk.

[@jochipchip]

Great review!

[@doc6427]

someone plz help. I used to have a fiio e10k with my iems, now with the mic what do i need to get mic working?

[@ThePolaris87]

Loving the coverge and reviews of these items. You have yourself a new subscriber!

[@SYLASHEBERT]

respect for the hair

[@ParissaKhoury]

Can this microphone cable be used with my KZ IEM to take phone calls?

[@underby2483]

think the kimura sounded better then grammer. your voice sounds like its more natural.have no idea why they didnt make the mic a little longer like 3 inches

[@Jason-jk3tn]

Any thoughts on the Gramr 2.0?

[@shusui9665]

can you recommend a iem mic which dont pick up background noises?

[@charliemedss]

is there live monitoring on any of these?

[@Metal_seer]

What iem do you recommend? I am leanimg toward the OH10, just buying the Kimura mic for $59 currently.

[@ivegyattocomment]

if the ruyi sounds better than the ethos and kimura it's gone game, if the price is not far off from the gramr vs the ruyi might as well just get the gramr

[@Cycluing]

Do any of these cable compatible with protruded 2 pin connector?

[@SakuraDoll-C]

Que pelo mas bonito.

[@blindman8093]

will this 3 mic fit to the yanyin cannon 2?

[@NoSend901]

Does the Kimura fit well with the EM6L?

[@soniablade6817]

Great comparison vid..!

[@soniablade6817]

I just ordered the tnr mars, also comes with a detachable mic. Im curious to how it will perform…!

[@OhyThere]

For anyone in the future, I wouldn't get the Gramr by Kinera have terrible quality issues. I've had issues with two sets from different sellers and decided to get a refund for both instead of trying again for a third time. The connections for the tips are bad quality it seems, does not slide in fully and has a crackling sound you need to play with. Both mics are different somehow where one lacks bass / treble/ volume while the other sounds like this video yet has a buzzing sound. It's annoying as this seemed the best one out the three reviewed here for true voice quality. Not worth the headaches

[@paullindamickey]

Kinera Gramr Modular Microphone Boom Microphone The microphone sounds good but falls out after two light touches, it can only be inserted in one way and that doesn't work so I have to send it back, it's a waste of time.

[@OhyThere]

@@paullindamickey get the antlion bro, saved me the hassle. I paid more and It doesn’t sound as bassy but who cares, better in every other way.

[@chasington]

Very helpful video, thank you kindly.

[@mikelim1894]

How about cable noises? Which one is louder?

[@syx1337]

how did you get your kinera mic to work? mine is not getting recognized

[@Miister00]

Not recognized by what? The ps5? Pc? Xbox?

[@syx1337]

it did work in the but my friends told me i was very silent and i max microphone etc out

[@Miister00]

@@syx1337 hmmm that’s strange. I wonder if others have the same issue.

[@ariathyf144]

If it wasn't for the flawed design of the Gramr connector I would have recommended it other the Kimura due to the better mic. I went instead to a more simpler solution, pick a smartphone friendly cable with mic included and boom problem solved.

[@04_ruizatanedy24]

i love your hair mate

[@blindman8093]

will this fit to simgot em6l

[@AnonymousUser1710]

Did you get a mic for the simgot em6L? I'm about to buy a pair of those but I'm looking for a mic that fits them

[@mystichavin5330]

lol just thinking i needed a video like this

[@omerakgoz34]

$50 razer mic is much cheaper and sounds much much better with minimal background noise.

[@funplaymix7710]

Antlion sounded the best
