The BEST $100 IEMs for Valorant - Simgot EM6L Review

[@kind7]

I want to buy IEM's for listening to music while i have JBL flip 6, are IEM's better than that in terms of sound quality? (am an audiophile too)

[@zofr]

honestly I don’t listen to music very much on my pc so I wouldn’t be the right one to ask when it comes to iem’s for music. This guy knows a ton about IEMs and audio in general: youtube.com/@JoshuaValour?si=emzTPQnB6e4OMHz8

[@arniixgaming]

I would say that for a similar if not slightly higher price point you can get IEMs that sound better than your speaker. of course you can go many steps up and buy the Blessing Dusk or IE300s for example, but I do think it'll be way better for a similar price. one thing to consider tho is that the soundstage is way more reduced in IEMs, which could result in you having a more "claustrophobic" experience (it's a way of saying that everything may sound a bit too close to you, really depends on you taste.

[@braiddles]

the best review! i was going to zero blue but now i found this!

[@zofr]

they are amazing

[@grism01]

if you had to go up in price range for iem's specifically for valorant ($200) which pair would you go for?

[@zofr]

kind of an awkward price range. they typically range from $150 and under for budget iem’s. and mid range starts at like $300. but if I were to invest more money into IEMs I would try these www.linsoul.com/products/yanyin-canon-ii?variant=43928457052377&sca_ref=2710245.j27NnRKYJ7

Thankyou for the review, its really good man... But which one is better for counterstrike2 and listening to pop/phonk em6l or ea500LM??? I would like to chose a good bass and clear sounds literally v shape

[@zofr]

i have never used ea500LM but the EM6L has very good bass and clear sounds and perform very well in CS2

[@cluck2g]

what sound settings do you use with these? HRTF enabled? Windows Sonic Spatial Sound?

[@zofr]

didn’t change any windows settings but yes HRTF on

[@EGPIKA3]

Ola bass Or Sigmot ew200 Or Trn conch Or Moondrop CHU II Or TRUTHEAR x Crinacle zero RED OR BLUE Or Kz pr3 Or 7HZ x Crinacle zero 2 Or Blon x HBB Z300 I want a gaming experience for a normal person to use, and they will be useful in FPS games, such as ambient sounds, watching videos, and podcasts. The bass is not as important to me as the sound, its purity and clarity are more important Is there a better option than them in the $40 category?

[@zofr]

truthear crin zero blue is still the best in $40 price range

Linsoul TANGZU x HBB XuanNv Are these good? They have the same score on Jaytiss iem ranking spreadsheet

i have not tried these other iem’s. not sure about the other ones but the em6ls are available on amazon. you could always buy them and return if you are not happy.

can we get a review on the Ziigaat x Fresh? IEMs made specifically for gaming.

would love to give them a go. have a couple reviews in the chamber atm but maybe in a couple months!

Do you use dac/amp or just plug and play ? I'm a click away from buying it right now but I want to make sure I'll be able to use it straightaway.

[@zofr]

i think they’ll be fine for plug n play but i use schiit magni

[@Sunoce]

If you want a budget slightly better audio source than straight into the motherboard you can get an apple 3.5mm to usbc dongle (and a cheap usba - usbc adapter if you dont have a usb c port) this advice only applies if you dont live in the EU as unfortunately their version of the dongle is downspecced compared to the rest of the world

[@yusufpehlivan1397]

@@Sunoce well, I live in the UK so its the eu version unfortunately. Any other options?

[@Sunoce]

@@yusufpehlivan1397 Hmm, honestly try straight from pc you shouldnt have any issues, if you do maybe the VE abigail dongle or just look into a cheaper dac like schit magni unity, ifi zen air, fiio k11, idk realistically you should be fine to plug and play

[@yusufpehlivan1397]

@@Sunoce I'm using it without a dac right now. It's quite loud playing music and stuff but it could be a bit louder playing fps games maybe.

Save yourself and get the LLinsoul 7Hz x Crinacle Zero:2 or the Fanmusic TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero:RED. I do not think Simgot EM6L is worth the difference. I personally use the Truthear x Crinacle.

[@zofr]

i had the crinnacle zeros and can 120% say these are FAR better for spatial audio in FPS. but if you’re on a budget then yes get the zeros.
