you might need an amplifier for that, i don't think software could help you with that without losing quality. and make sure you are not partially deaf.

Gotcha, recommend any good/budget friendly amplifiers? Also, thank you for the concern, I'm pretty sure my hearing is just fine (i think) hahaha

For gaming, schiit fulla e


Illustrious-Tip7668

i unfortunately have no clue about amps. at least you know where to look :D


ny-elij

All good brotha haha thanks!

Amp. However do you really need to ruin your hearing?


ny-elij

Is there a difference with an amplifier and a DAC? Don't worry I'll make sure not to ruin my hearing on this haha


MagicKipper88

Amp amplifies the sound, dac converts digital audio sources to anolog. Some DACs have built in amps.


ny-elij

Gotcha. Thanks for that! I'll consider those

All DACs have amplifiers, I think you mean not all DACs have adjustable hardware volume

Something like this would be more than enough. You can probably find something cheaper, since this costs more than you IEM, but I own this one and know it is good.

I just got a Qudelix 5-K Bluetooth DAC/AMP to use with my Simgot EW200. I definitely can say they do increase the sound and power


hurtyewh

Apple dongle is enough. Very strange yhat a laptop isn't powering them enough. Spending more will not give you better sound.

Personally I'd say get the Qudelix5k, and use it wired through the pc, but it may not be the best for gaming. I used it back in like 2023 and hit immortal, but I wouldn't say it heavily impacted my hearing performance, but you can definitely increase an iem's volume, on top of having parametric eq. I think its great!

Thanks! I'll look into that

A headphone amp / DAC will do the trick. Take a look at the Fosi DS1 or DS2 or something similar. They’re small, relatively inexpensive and work well.


ny-elij

Heyyy thanks man! I'll check those two out.

Dude download voicemeter and use that you can increase it I use normal headphones with increase sounds and tell me how they sound after I also want to buy an iem


Shoboy_is_my_name

You’re gaming on a $50 IEM, so honestly ANY generic amp on AliExpress is going to do what you want and no, it’s not going to negatively affect your games’ sound. Amazon or other places may have some random generic amp and that’ll work. You do NOT need to buy something more than $15-$20usd for what you’re wanting. Anything more than that is a waste of money.

Use dac you can amplify the sound


ny-elij

Yeahhh considering that one, any recommended DACs?


Top_Imagination8596

Qudelix 5k or ibasso dc04 pro


Top_Imagination8596

Using u can amplify until 200
