These IEMs shouldn't sound this good... | Warzone Audio Tips & Tricks

[@jacobgarza8358]

Thanks for the talk!

[@shampwoo]

Art is making no exaggeration. These are a great pair of IEMs for about a third of the price of the Orchestra Lites. I was already impressed by the Zeros for its dollar stretching ability but using the ZARs made listening to music so fun again. As a dancer and avid music listener, I pick apart little details in songs all the time and also understand that praise such as “I’m hearing details I’ve never heard before” is very commonplace. However I genuinely had that experience. Going back to the Zeros, the audio felt crammed and almost muddy. With the ZARs, you can physically feel the bass and the almost “radiation” of music. This applies to gameplay audio as well, it is crystal clear and you can hear far more sounds, loud and quiet, even when bombarded by gunfire and game announcements. This also relieves that head plug feeling that occur in most IEMs. Three big factors for me with audio devices are performance-dollar value, FUN music listening experience, and clear gameplay audio. This has it all.

Thank you!

[@washyourrhands]

Another great review!!! This is going to help so many people

[@saphiramra633]

I got my KZ Zar this week. Compared to headsets I found it very loud. I had to literally lower sound everywhere. Getting used to it and enjoying it. Thanks for the suggestion 🔥

[@darkshark2855]

i got mine as well and i feel the same way, omg these are LOUD, if its your first time wearing an iem like me you have to get used to having such a large device entirely in your ear, but i hear things i've never heard in warzone. Getting used to them and better at the same time.

[@AllanIsBest]

Im debating getting the Zars or the Truthear Zero, what did you use before the Zars ? @@darkshark2855

[@nikosxi]

@@darkshark2855 I just found about about IEMs so I would ask for your opinion. How are they compared to a regular headset? Do you have better directional sound? Does it feel better overall? I'm intrigued but skeptic at the same time.

[@DNUTZ4U]

Serious question, the IEM’s that IceManIsaac featured approximately 9 months ago now. Are those still highly recommended??

[@fyacbmx2448]

had these in my cart waiting for the video to drop i had a feeling these were the secret iems you were testing.

[@JohnDoe-dt1sr]

Great review 👏👏 my first IEMs were the Zeros bought on your recommendation, now I’m deciding between these and the Orchestra lites.

[@usmankhalid990]

Did you end up trying these?

[@OculusMikkiA1]

So how about Maxwell Audeze headsets vs IEMs?

[@roadvader]

Hi Art, I just got this IEMs... but I got a question, connect it: 1. trough my elgato wave 3 back output or 2. directly to my ASUS Mobo or maybe get a small DAC like the ifi uno; please advise... Thanks

[@Sponee]

what do you think of the Fannusic Truthear Hexa??

[@olternaut]

Would you say then that the targeted sniper move would be to get the ZARs over the Kiwi Orchestra Lites to save money, then pair the ZARs with the Antlion Kimura Mic? Because I don't want a dedicated desktop mic. And then to finish, would there be any benefit to getting a DAC to enhance sound or would that be a waste of money? If not, what DAC would you recommend?

[@edu_arche]

I know that I’m kinda late to the party but I have a a quick question . For PC would you recommend the in-line mic or a stand alone? Like the Razer mini?

[@vkshiri]

Great video Art. What is the difference between ZAS and ZAR if you know? Only asking because ZAS have metal frame, spec is similar or?? Tnx in advance!

[@bakedbeanz4510]

This is my question I have the ZAS already and can hear everything

[@jonjon8422]

What’s difference between the ZARs and the ZAX ?

[@vitaminbp1]

Just received mine a few days ago, they do have really good sound, especially for the price. After getting the Kiwis, also agree they are better, as they should be for the price. Sticking with the Kiwi's.

[@TheChriscrowder]

How will these compare to my HD 800 S?

[@mattwright6249]

Hey ArtIsWar, I have watched your videos a lot, and have traded in my Audio Technica M50x's for a set of budget Linsoul 1DD 4BA IEM's... This is for casual listening and of course playing games. I have a HiFi System for when things need to be loud, but also felt by the neighbors. So far I am super impressed with my IEM purchase, and am now looking at the orchestra lites. What my main question is for MW3 should I be running MW3 audio in "home theatre" or "headphone" or "headphone Bass boost" mode with my IEMs. I have a DAC that does virtual 7.1 surround, and I would like to use its software to deal with positional audio based on the 7.1 channels it is pulling from the PC itself. The software suite allows me to do smart volume levelling for quiet sounds, and also has an adjustable "surround" slider that can increase or decrease the virtual soundstage with some sort of sudo spatial audio output to the headphones themselve. In this scenario does it make sense to leave the audio settings in game on "home theatre" for the largest dynamic range? I am scared that the headphones settings in the game do some sort of software spatial audio or only output 2 channels no matter what windows thinks for multi channel audio. I have no idea, and things aren't explained well in game. I run master volume at 70, in game effects at 100, all music to zero, reduce tinnitus sound to off, in game voice prompts (cant remember what its called ) to 35. I feel like the positional audio is really good, I just want to make sure im doing this right. I feel like I have spent far to many hours tweaking settings in this game and not enough time playing it. Although it seems like tweaking settings is actually more fun than playing it sometimes. (Thanks SBMM for ruining it)

[@garrettsurfboards]

HELP!!!! Just got these and I'm stoked the in game sound quality is insane I had to turn my game volume down to about 60 percent for Warzone. However, as soon as I turn the xbox on I will get this very slight yet extremely annoying buzzing sound. I am wondering if anyone has ever experienced this and if so what are some solutions that have worked for you? PS I've tried most of the basic stuff like mic monitoring down etc.

[@MrSonny208]

WHen i saw your orquestra reviews I was ready to ordered cause i thouthg they were less than $100, I really appreciate your review, I did not even saw the whole video and I just ordered them, I was looking for a while for a nice recommendation, thank you for the links and give us these sort of recommendations.

[@MrSonny208]

To whoever is interested : Been using them for a week and they are uncomfortable , I bought the tips Art suggested but your ears hurts cause of the shape of the IEMs, I have other KZ but they don't feel that way. Its unfortunate cause they sound really good!, I have standard ears Id say, big head, 5'11' but they just hurt after couple of hours.

[@block-ej2kx]

@@MrSonny208 are you talking about the kiwi orchestra lites about the bad comfort? Also have u tried the kz zar and which would u pick for gaming

[@TheBiigBadWolf]

Ever since the BA drivers provide great detail, what do you think of the other kz iems, I think its called the as16pro(8 BA drivers per ear) & the as24(12 BA drivers per ear). I understand they might sound shitty music wise, but im here looking for that competitive edge, & then this receive so much hate not excelling in the music world/hifi but might be the perfect match for fps gaming. I ordered the as16pro just to see how is the imaging and the detail retrieval. They have 8 BA drivers and no DD, so no heavy bass. Hopefully… thats my theory lol hopefully they’ll reach 1440 quality lol

[@Klone_DNA]

I loved this review!!!! youve convinced me sir gonna pull the trigger and order a pair thanks

[@Xxclover13xX]

Any recommendations on a gaming mic setup with IEMS yet?

[@jaysfishandwhips1328]
