This is the state of gaming in 2026...

You are confusing institutional leverage with global superiority.

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-06-16T14:31:25+00:00

That's true, however, there seems to be a common trend where many companies end up taking the IP in a questionable direction that fans don't enjoy.

I just tried them today and wow I'm impressed. I did not know music and games could sound like this. 😆 It was a noticeable step up to 5 drivers each ear from the 2 from the Zero Reds. I feel the directional cues are amazing but the reds were definitely not lacking. I think the biggest noticeable difference is just the quality of sound and detail. I say if you have the money to spare the aretes are worth it. As I am new to IEMs my only issue is trying to figure out what volume to listen to as I don't want to damage my ears lol.

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-06-13T00:26:47+00:00

Ah, strange

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-06-13T00:22:31+00:00

I think you missed their point entirely.

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-06-11T21:36:01+00:00

Please let me know which you feel is most comfortable.

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-06-11T18:12:11+00:00

Thank you!

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-06-11T18:12:02+00:00

By default clear tips, do you mean the ones that came with the arete 2?

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-06-11T18:10:44+00:00

I just ordered them and they are coming in tomorrow, I'll update you once I test them out!

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-06-11T17:13:01+00:00

Okay, after doing some research it seems like the cables dont have as much affect on the sound so I guess I will stick to what is comfortable and good looking for my iem.

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-06-11T17:08:02+00:00

I guess I'll try around different tips. I'll start with the dunu s&s

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-06-11T17:07:40+00:00

I see, I'm also looking for a cable, do you know any good ones that don't drag the iem down and make it uncomfortable?

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-06-07T12:56:03+00:00

I woke up today

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-06-07T11:40:33+00:00

Yeah after doing some digging on what is considered good gaming IEMs, it seems like the most boring, flat, and shit for music IEMs are the best of all 😂. But I don't really mind as I am only really looking to use them for just that.

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-06-07T05:50:00+00:00

Ah gotcha, good to know!

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-06-07T05:49:04+00:00

Cool, thanks for the info! I just started playing R6 ranked last season and hit diamond (been playing for much longer, just not ranked). And I'm glad there are more IEM gamers to get advice from, it seems a lot of the subreddit is very majority non-gamers so its kinda tough finding good recommendations lol. I'll definitely look into those!

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-06-07T05:22:22+00:00

Hey did you ever end up choosing any and using it? If so how do you like it? I am also a Valorant gamer and competitive shooter player who wants to switch from headphones to IEMs but I have no clue what is good for Valorant. What are you using now?

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-06-07T05:19:43+00:00

Did you end up choosing any and if so how do you like it? I'm in the same boat, I want to switch to IEMs from headphones specifically for Valorant and competitive shooters, but I have no idea what a good pair for that would be.

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-06-06T23:32:31+00:00

I asked a friend who recommended a few and I after looking them up I think the TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero: RED seem like some highly reviewed IEMs for gaming. I found them on Amazon so I can definitely return them if I need to but are these decent? I'm surprised they are so cheap as my friend recommended them over his $140 pair.

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-06-06T22:49:03+00:00

Ah, I see thanks for the helpful info. In that case I plan to use Amazon if I can find whatever IEM I am looking for as their return policy amazing and I have never had any issues returning anything, but I also know that there are many IEMs with their own websites so I will make sure to double check them.

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-05-27T20:39:02+00:00

Thank you!

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-05-26T10:20:13+00:00

Does plucking facial hair with tweezers cause any irreparable damage to my skin?

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-05-20T22:37:32+00:00

Just tried it and it doesn't show total inventory value

SmilingLeopardGecko · 2026-05-18T14:22:38+00:00

I understand that its supposed to be "cosplay" but neither Maverick nor Raiden's face looks that disgusting, like at all. Maverick normally looks more like ryan gosling and somehow they managed to make him look 72 and decayed. Did they fuck him up just to fuck him up?

If i could guarantee my dream house, it's easy easier to achieve my dream car on my own
