My New #1 Gaming IEM - Goodbye to the Old King!

[@ArtisWar]

There is an $18 dollar coupon available RIGHT NOW thru Amazon! What price range IEMs would you like to see next?!

[@ActionBrother]

I am completely new to IEMs and I'm looking to buy my very first one. (I'm currently just using my "Sony MDR ZX770BN" headphones, wired.) I gave myself a budget of around €50, but quickly realised that the prices can go really high. So I gave myself an absolute maximum of €100. I looked around a bit and found a few, but I would love to hear your opinion on "Tripowin x 0diBi: Vivace" (€30) vs "Kefine Delci AE" (~$90) vs "Kefine Klear" (~$60) vs "Fanmusic TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero" (~€55) and maybe other sub €/$100. I've seen your video "Try THESE before GAMING HEADSETS" from 8 months ago, but I feel like the space under €/$100 has been changed so much since that video that I don't know what to choose. Availability here in EU is also another topic. For example, the "Tripowin" and "TRUTHEAR" can easily be found, while any "Kefine" is only available here via HiFiGo (and not sure if and how much the import tax is). Also, should I get a DAC/AMP or not for an IEM below €/$100. Or is the "Apple USB-C to to 3.5mm" adapter (or maybe any "USB-(A/C) to 3.5mm" adapter) really good enough for this price range. The "IEM world" is so easy to step into with all the options, but as soon as you start looking and digging it becomes difficult, and I wouldn't want to have to buy something new after like a few months because I made a wrong decision the first time.

@Artiswar will you add the filter to your squiglink list? I have the tea pro and was looking for them there.

[@ArtisWar]

I don't have a squiglink. They're on plenty of other squigs tho.

[@danger19dc]

@@ArtisWar cool, thanks 😊

[@DeplorableKitty]

Love the headphone video. Used it to test the DT 990 Pro X and some Fiio JT1s I got based on Fresh reviews. Good review, Crin said this is basically a mini xenns top which I already have so no need to get these but sounds like an awesome set, not surprising these are better than the arete. IEMs have really come a long way.

[@Frankieadz]

great review Art, been using the Tea Pros for 4/5 months myself, top tier all around IEM imo, for all you get in the package too it knocks some more expensive ones in the dirty

[@MusiblackYT]

Happy with the Arete, bought in November on Linsoul for 154€ with discount,. perfect confort, nice render. my orchestra lite retired quick after that.

[@AyoLimboLive]

man art is back with a great review!

[@ShakilSomir]

Been using these the last year, such a quality product!

[@Achilles_11_]

Did you find a good eq tune for them?

[@fyacbmx2448]

Just got these yesterday only got a few games in but these are great! I love the arete, the tea pro are just slightly more refined hence the bigger price tag. Cant go wrong with either set though.

[@SalarSphere]

Thank you for taking the time to post this. I got my Arete this week based on his previous top pick for gaming. Knowing I'm not missing much helps a a ton.

[@totallytips]

Would would be the best way to connect these to my desktop ( I have an older msi carbon gaming mobo) But also want to keep my logitech speakers connected?

[@Pablinio]

Nice , love your videos , i canceld the arete and buy instand the tea pro . They come tomorrow.

[@Cod-Monkey]

I had a bad experience with the Arete. They have a hiss or white noise, even when there's no sound playing. I tested with a PC, a PS5, an iPhone, etc. Even switched cables, with others IEM that i have. Same thing. Tried to reach Linsoul but a link for customer support was not available. And here i am with a problem in my hands.

[@ArtisWar]

You should email the "support" email listed in your email. They've always responded to me.

[@jwcurry83]

Aretes are an extremely sensitive iem, what are you using for a DAC?

[@scottwilliams4906]

Glad I watched this I’ve the lites so I’ll defs wait a bit longer and get theses down the line

[@jessejohnson9369]

i just got the ziigaats a month and a half ago and i love them

[@edu_arche]

Hey Art , Where can I get that hoodie?

[@recken4569]

Sad how KZbin just NOW sent me the notification for this an HOUR later.🙄

[@Chris-ob6yi]

How do these stack up against the xenns top mangird?

[@Gershy13]

Aren't the Arete pronounced "Areeet"? Have you had a chance to test the Ziigaat Odyssey? They seem like a cheaper alternative to the Tea Pros. They have a bit less bass and a bit less ear gain compared to the Tea Pro.

[@ndz55]

Hi Art, great job again, as always a guarantee 🔥🔥 Is there a chance to find a website where it can be seen all (or the most) of the eq curves through frequencies of iems?

[@ArtisWar]

Squiglink

[@ndz55]

@ I know I just thought that there’re eq curves made by different people so can be different values for same model of Iems, I was looking for something like on linsoul website, where some models have some don’t have their eq curves, but they’re “official” measurements like, am I wrong or?

[@PINKY-2_3]

If I whanted them for ps5 where do you recommend me to plug them in, to my ps5 controller or my monitor? Any help ?

[@sonofgodraj]

Watching this with the tea pros right now. I will say I like vocals on the orchestra lites a little better. I guess it's because it has less bass. That being said the tea pro is amazing for gaming. Also, for anyone looking to get the tea pros divinus velvet wide bore tips are amazing.

[@qtr-sm9112]

Could you do a warzone 4 color filter settings?

[@zerotactix5739]

Fresh Reviews says that bassy IEMs benefit from CoD so this isn't a surprise. Have you tried the Aretes vs Tea Pros on other games?

[@grimr7517]

What would be best for 150€?

5 day after i order the arete nice

[@jbadlit]

I just got the arete $250 I’m good

[@iGoBySick]

Only 536$ Canadian 😂

[@jamesbailey6200]

Fiio FA19 are by far the best IEM’s. Expensive but by far the best for COD you won’t be disappointed. They really need to be run through a proper balanced DAC amp too. But if you want the best and far superior I can’t recommend them enough. I tried lots of others before getting them when if I put my ocstra lite back in now it’s just dog shit. No comparison. Can’t comment the Fiio FA19 enough.

[@jbadlit]

Sup!

[@MrZenn44]

Woo

[@luis55g]

You should put the price in the thumb nail holy shit 😮

[@user38526]

iems are overrated

[@scottwilliams4906]

There unreal

[@SuperBigboi18]

Ain’t using them right if you think that 😂👀

How does it feel to be edgy AND wrong

@ArtisWar how's it feel to be bald?

[@ZVily]

Wow perfect timing, I just got a pair last week. These are my first IEM and I’m loving them so far, but I’m not sure if I’m utilizing them properly. I’m running them through my GameDac 2 and Sonar…is that good enough or should I switch? Appreciate the awesome reviews as always 🫡🌹
