Yo thanks for pointing out potential issues with treble sensitivity and certain in-game sounds. That kind of attention to detail is what i appreciate about your reviews.

[@khensationalReviews]

Thank you for your kind words and continued support.

@@khensationalReviews What is ur best IEM for gaming especially Valorant and watching movies max price 400 euro's????

[@haf911]

Hello, I know nothing about iems but I’m planning to get the 7hz zero 2 for 37$ for gaming and a little music. Would you recommend anything else? And is there a budget cable with a decent mic or should I get a dedicated mic?

[@khensationalReviews]

You need a dac get the conexant cx31993, its a usb c to 3.5mm female. You plug that into your motherboard ( check if you have a USB C first) For a budget cable get the Zonie 3.5mm. For a mic get the fifine AM8 with boomarm. Thats the mic im using right now. It sounds nice for the price.

[@haf911]

@@khensationalReviews would you say for 37$ that they are the best in that price range for mainly gaming/light music/KZbin or are there other iems to consider?

[@khensationalReviews]

@@haf911 yeah they're very solid if you like bass and sub bass, if you want more lower bass and more emphasis on the treble either then the simgot ew200. They both perform well for comp FPS and music

[@bhavaygoel]

Hey, im very new to this IEM market and i dont know how i like the sound that is idk if i am sensitive to trebles or something. i use very cheap TWS earphones which are basically bass heavy, which i can say im not a fan of. Although my main usecase is gaming(mainly CS2,PUBG PC and Apex) and i am very confused with Truthear Zero Blues or this one. which is better in terms of imaging etc? and also i dont know that if my ears are small?(i think they should be average sized) saw one of your comment on the zero blues. I've heard that using spinfit on zero makes it very comfortable. Im not sure but yeah thanks for helping!

[@khensationalReviews]

I think youd be fine with the EW200. I usually recommend EW200 and Zero 2 under $50. If you want to spend something on a great set right off the bat. Id get the Simgot EM6L for $103 (including $6 coupon) , a CX Pro Dongle, and just get any budget usb mic. I'm dropping my video on the EM6L tonight theyre really great for CS2, and Apex. Not sure what Truthear Zero Blue is if its the V1 you're talking about EW200 is better. EW200( Harman tuning) Zero 2 (Bass boosted) Zero V1 (Neutral bright tuning)

[@bhavaygoel]

@@khensationalReviews i meant Truthear x Crin Zero OG, and yeah ill be waiting for your review of em6l. thanks for helping!

[@khensationalReviews]

The OG TE Zero treble is fine for me that is harman tuned. I dont find it offensive or anything. My issue with that IEM is the fit. The nozzle is a bit too long

[@benben-ps]

@@khensationalReviews Hi, is it better to plug them to the jack port or should I buy a dongle to plug them in the usb-c port? Appreciate your deep reviews!

[@khensationalReviews]

Sorry for late reply but its best to buy a dongle dac

[@KevinGulbicki]

Hi I was thinking of IEMs for gaming but they don’t need a mic and I’d rather keep it under maybe 55 you guys think 7HZ zero 2 are good?

[@khensationalReviews]

EW200 and Zero 2 are both great. Its just a preference in tuning.

[@GameOP890]

I'm new to In-Ear Monitors (IEMs). I currently use HyperX Cloud Flight headphones and want to switch to IEMs. Do IEMs typically come with microphones?

[@khensationalReviews]

I've seen only one the Antlion Audio but those doesn't have a great tuning. If you need a mic I generally just recommend a cheap usb mic like Fifine.

[@user-uc2xb2xh8t]

Hi, I want to buy an ew200 for games (fps), do I necessarily need a sound card or a dac for them?

[@khensationalReviews]

Yes. Just a $10 CX Dongle is more than enough. You just need a clean source than your mobo

[@user-uc2xb2xh8t]

@@khensationalReviews Thank you, I just have a simple cx31993 for my phone, should it be enough?

[@khensationalReviews]

sorry for the late reply but that's more than enough sir.

[@DefaltZStudios]

​@@khensationalReviewsbut these Dac Dongle are for cell phones, my PC does not have a type-c input. What would be the dac/amp to use this headphone on the PC?

[@alexle6548]

What cable are you using on your zero 2s and would it be compatible with the ew200?

[@khensationalReviews]

zonie cable and yeah

[@ivanyufenstefanus8272]

hi, if im gonna use this for valorant in lenovo gaming laptop, do i need a dac dongle or just insert the jack 3.5mm to my laptop? thanks!

[@khensationalReviews]

Its best to get a cheap quality dac dongle.

[@wuIfenstein]

I’m new to the iem and want to get something different would these work for ps5 and game would be like rainbow six siege

[@khensationalReviews]

should be able to but you're going to need a mic, and also Im not sure how good these will sound plugged directly on your ps5 controller.

[@Kalantinus94]

Do I need DAC for them or am I good to go with USB dongle?

[@khensationalReviews]

USB Dongle more than enough for most IEMs. What USB Dongle do you have?

[@notepadplusplus4923]

Whats the best when comparing it to truthear zero blue and red?

[@khensationalReviews]

I used to own the Zero Blue and never tried the red. EW200 has better fit and comfort for me. In terms of sound they both follow the harman curve. Theyre both energetic but I do find the EW200 has better treble, separation , and resolution. I think the bad fitment of the Zero affects the sound quality and I do find myself adjusting it in my ear here and there.

[@wydox2965]

hi thx for the review, what dac do i buy if i dont have usb c on my mobo ?

[@khensationalReviews]

You can probably just get a usb A to USB C adapter or a usb a dac

[@wydox2965]

​@@khensationalReviews if i get a usb c to usb a adapter, i won't lose audio quality right ?

[@khensationalReviews]

it shouldnt, not sure if its prone to ground noise or pick up sound from the usb ports tho. I tested it but never experience anything like that. It only happened with my Topping DX1

[@Atharva-qv1vm]

Sigmot ew200 or sigmot em6l or truthhear x crinacle zero for gaming?

[@khensationalReviews]

Simgot EM6L

I main the Orchestra Lites right now with Tangzu Sancai tips. I have some IEMs coming in but Im not sure yet if they are going to beat my Orchestra Lites.

[@user-yd9ku8lz5q]

Should i buy digital-to-analog converter to this iems ?

[@khensationalReviews]

Dongle dac is fine for budget iems

[@z3us522]

zero red or this for gaming and some music time?

[@khensationalReviews]

I never tried Zero Reds but I heard its good

[@marsyoya]

SIMGOT on its way up!! Personally, Crinacle Zero (Truthear) still reigns supreme in the ~$50 category but EM6Ls aren’t a bad rec at the ~$100 mark

[@Kalantinus94]

Crinacle Zero red/blue has better sound quality but their nozzles are stupidly wide (6,1mm) which make them uncomfortable to wear for many peoples. I hope truthear will make a revision with smaller nozzles

[@eruhlumuhdi8292]

@@Kalantinus94 when crinacle said “tuning is hard” thats what he meant

[@yuixizzan5077]

is this recommend for apex legends?

[@khensationalReviews]

Yes , this or EM6L depending on your budget.

[@yuixizzan5077]

​@@khensationalReviews i already have zero 2, is ew200 is good upgrade for gaming?(I want a little more bass)

[@khensationalReviews]

No if you have a Zero 2 , EW200 wont be an upgrade. Try the EM6L or Cannon II.

[@Ayva_K]

This or Hexa for gaming only?

[@khensationalReviews]

Hexa

[@lore9605]

based iems, based reviewer. You gotta try the EM6Ls.

[@khensationalReviews]

maybe

[@artimation4710]

Is that shoko!?!?!?

[@khensationalReviews]

Yes

[@MrGarkin]

? vs PR2

[@khensationalReviews]

This one. Easier to drive, better tuning, better cable, eartips, and cheaper

[@MrGarkin]

@@khensationalReviews what if PR2 is $20 and ew200 is $37

[@khensationalReviews]

​@@MrGarkinsorry for the late reply im just seeing your comment now. Id spend the extra on the EW200 or a Zero 2 over PR2. Just better sound and tuning.
