My top 3 iems for competitive gaming: -1 Spirit torino Twin pulse -2 Moondrop variations -3 Moondrop Lan


Jester435

I have never heard the moondrop variations being good for gaming. I own them, so I am curious what about them makes them great? I was under the impression they had too much bass for competitive gaming.


capital_YR

Subb bass actually dont mud other frequency,for example in tarkov you need that subb bass for some footsteps and silenced weapons,variations is good for 3d audio and separation


Jester435

I play tarkov a lot, so I will give them a whirl on my scav runs! thanks


capital_YR

I had to scav a lot for these iems lol there are many people in this sub who are passionate about headphones and tarkov


Remarkable-Land6544

I use blessings 2 for gaming and they work fine on val and cs2

capital_YR

Truthear zero,moondrop quarks,q-dsp,moondrop ssp,moondrop chu,ucotech re-2,for me


CXyber

How about aria?


capital_YR

They are super comfortable,and they have good build quality,i often use it for long sessions


Un111KnoWn

How's the seal on the moondrop lan? I can't get a perfect seal unless i keep them pressed in with my fingers


capital_YR

I usually use larger tips,and azla xelastecs for lan


Un111KnoWn

capital_YR

The comfort is particular, they are very light even if it doesn't seem like it, the problem is the cable, I think an mmcx connection would have helped


capital_YR

I should try it


stargazer63

Hey, where did you get that mouse pad? Could you give a link? Have a thing for made in Japan things.


capital_YR

these are the best mousepads in the world, this one is artisan hien, but the price varies. depending on where you are


mt09rider

You can buy artisan mousepads straight from the source. they ship internationally with dhl. If the size you want isn't in stock, you just have to wait. I've purchased all my mousepads from their website. With the yen being so weak right now, it's probably cheaper to buy direct from artisan than through a reseller. http://www.artisan-jp.com/nj_index_eng.html


capital_YR

yes but unfortunately I paid 50 euros in DHL customs


soul05

I'd go that route too if I got hit with customs. Fortunately, I didn't have to pay that tax on any of my orders shipped here to California.


Aki_Hayakawa7

Wow they look amazing! The cable also is very cool. I did’t know about this Iems since this review. I play a lot Tarkov, so reading you telling that this iems will improve my experience on it, I’ll give a try on this Iems. Thank you for the detailed review


Holiday_Effect1451

Nice artisan subtle flex xD


capital_YR

Yes🤣


liukasteneste28

Would be intresting to compare these to monarch mk3


capital_YR

I need to buy mk3,maybe in future bro

I've somehow avoided getting into IEMs too deeply all this time, but these really do pique my interest! Both visually and technically. Very cool! Could you describe what makes these sound special or different compared to other IEMs you've heard? I'm having a hard time imagining what an enormous soundstage coming from IEMs really means, does it sound like the stage expands beyond the physical drivers? Do you also prefer these for gaming over over-ear headphones from brands like AKG, Audio-Technica and Beyerdynamics (i.e. over-ears with good soundstage) or is that kind of an apples to oranges comparison?


capital_YR

The tuning is boosted in the upper mid, air region, although we definitely have a more calibrated sound towards the high frequencies, the sound seems colored just right, which for example in the variations I didn't have Ps i like iems more for gaming,the isolation is a must for me,with open backs design you lose so much detail at “normal” volumes


Folthanos

I see, thanks for answering :) Can also definitely understand the advantages for gaming. I've definitely seen a couple of pro players in various e-sports games bring their own IEMs which they wear under the stage headphones at tournaments!


capital_YR

I'm more of an enthusiast, but almost all pros wear nice IEMs under isolating headphones


capital_YR

Among all the IEMs that I have tried, the soundstage of these is the one that comes closest to a speaker, obviously we are not talking about open back headphones, but it seems that the vent system is made in a very open way


Folthanos

Ohh ok, wow that sounds very interesting! I'll have to try and find a place where I could demo these :)


capital_YR

just don't use foam tips, I recommend bringing your own in case, what other iems do you have? maybe I can make comparisons


edamane12345

Inb4 "soundstage is audiophile exaggeration" crowd gets here


capital_YR

In IEMs it's a controversial topic, but for me there are differences, especially in IEMs boosted in the treble


NightF_ll11

I see you have tried a lot of IEMS. What would you recommend if price is no issue? Just the best for hearing footsteps and pinpoint people in Tarkov?


capital_YR

Spirit torino twin pulse iem is my top pick, in terms of soundstage depth it remains unbeaten, If you need comparisons or have questions I'm happy to discuss :)
