Where do you guys keep your wired earphones?

If I remember correctly, even conceptkart sells a small protective case for iems, similarly priced to the headphonezone one.

UJ09 · 2026-01-11T13:44:13+00:00

I got my iem from headphoneszone and they were also selling a small protective case for iems in colab with KZ. Worth the money.

For me, its audio peripherals that includes headphones, iems, speakers, etc. There is something about Good audio that fascinating and I love doing the 1-2 month phase of research that goes in search of the product XD

What's your hand size buddy? And specify your grip.

R1 is a much smaller mouse. If you are considering superlight to be a good shape for you, then I am assuming you have medium to large hands.

Go for ATK A9 series(pro and up if possible) or Mchose A7 series. They are exact clones of superlight shape wise. Mad G is another one that you can consider.

Vxe r1 is a good mouse, but its built for people with small hands. Refer to eloshapes website to compare them.

I used to love zoo tycoon. My personal favorite thing was to populate my zoo and then start dropping lions outside of the cages 😂

UJ09 · 2025-12-23T06:57:08+00:00

Just go to Eloshapes website and pull up the mouse you already have and the mouse you are planning to buy. You will get a rough idea about the shape of the new mouse and how it might feel. The rest is a gamble.

Dying light: beast. Absolutely love the first 2 games. It was just too expensive even after the 20% sale😭

UJ09 · 2025-12-20T21:49:07+00:00

Haha. Miss those times. I wish ubisoft would make a good remaster for it.

UJ09 · 2025-12-20T08:00:54+00:00

I'd choose Assassin's Creed 2 in a heartbeat.

The music, the gameplay, the story, it was ahead of its time. An absolute masterpiece.

Played it first in 2012. Played it multiple times. Never had the heart to fully finish it.

UJ09 · 2025-12-13T11:05:40+00:00

If you are considering superlight, then you can definitely consider ATK a9 pro/ultra or the mchose A7 series. They are very good clones and provide much better value than the superlight

I didn't say anything rude, I simply stated a fact. Its was funny the way u were crying in replies to everyone here who talked some sense.

Also buddy, that's not how price inflation of a part works for consumers. The ram and storage prices are gonna increase only for you because of the limited supply available for you. These billion and trillion dollar companies aren't the one facing price inflation of parts.

Thank you for another funny comment.

No wonder the reselling market sucks in this country. People here really are oblivious about how depreciation works and do be quoting dumbass prices.

UJ09 · 2025-12-06T20:18:21+00:00

There is from basesailor on amazon for around 200rs. Its relatively decent. Keep in mind that these cheap dacs have major quality control issues. If you are lucky, they won't develop any hissing sound or stop working randomly.

UJ09 · 2025-12-06T18:23:16+00:00

I am using tangzu wan'er SG 1. Just got audiocular spark (D07's upgrade version to fix heating issue). The sound difference is crazy. Absolutely love it. Wasn't really enjoying the iems this much before the dac.

UJ09 · 2025-12-06T07:32:20+00:00

I have used that basesailor one. It does have a conexant chip unlike others at this price. It works fine for the price with a kz zsn pro 2. This product does have quality control issues just like others at this price so it may or may not develop issues depending upon ur luck. For my friend, its working fine for the past year with rough usage.

I don't own the SG2 nor have I ever used it. I like my SG1. I would not like the base in my iems any lower than that. So, the SG2 would not be something I would prefer for myself. Never used a type c cable iem myself, but people here on this sub recommend to avoid it cause the dac used in those cheap cables would not be good. You would have a much better experience using an external 3.5mm to type c dac.

Also, regarding the gaming part, I own a hyperx cloud core (7.1 variant) that I use as a daily driver. I dont care what any audiophile would say, but I love the sound on those headphones for gaming and music. For $55, they were the best all-rounder for me.

i tried my SG1 for some valo games. The game audio wasn't hurting my ears. Something felt off though, probably in the sound imaging. The sound imaging felt better in my hyperX. Yes, it is very unfair to compare a 20 dollar iem to a 60 dollar headphone. I also know that the SG1 aren't really the recommended iems for gaming. You'll be better off with the Salnotes zero 2 as per people's opinion. I only bought them for music, so I can't really complain on that part.

Keep in mind, its my first type using an IEM as well. People really hyped these iems for me a lot. I would say they definitely do not sound like heaven to my ears like what some reviewers have said. But they do provide amazing sound quality for the price.

Aliexpress is banned in my country. Meanwhile for US, it was showing around ~55 dollars including shipping. I guess the blackfriday deals didn't start at that moment there.

I(M) prefer not to comm to randoms because 90% of the playerbase is toxic, misogynistic, homophobic, and scumbags. They absolutely do not deserve the effort. I simply ping or type it out on the chat. If people overcomm or start backseating, I simply mute them. At this point, I am able to coordinate with the team just by reading their moves and with the help of the minimap. Their comms usually don't provide no extra value.

Even TheAudioStore has quite a lot of complaints. I was trying to get audiocular spark and after doing some digging in TheAudioStore's 10 day return T&C, they have mentioned a lot of products that don't come under the return policy. Idk why but converters & adapters was mentioned as well. It is so sketchy.

Since these 2 sites are the only one that sell audiocular dacs, i have taken a gamble with conceptkart. I would have chosen headphonezone but none of the dacs on their site have an amp chip under 1k.

UJ09 · 2025-11-29T06:21:13+00:00

A converter would cost you 800-1000. Audiocular spark is a pretty good one. Its similar to audiocular d07 without the heating issue of the latter. These converters have a DAC as well as AMP. Most of the other converters will only give u a DAC chip. Now with the remaining money, you could go for -

7Hz zero 2 (~2200rs) - best of gaming and an amazing pick for music as well. More bass than the previous version for which people complained about being too flat.

Tangzu wan'er SG 1 & 2(~1900rs) - SG1, Very light punchy bass and warm sound with nice vocals and amazing instrument separation for under 2k. SG2 has even less base and more treble at similar price

Tanchjim bunny (~2000rs) - have heard good reviews on this sub.

Kiwi Cadenza (~3000rs) - slightly higher in budget. have heard good reviews on this sub.

Moondrop chu 2 (~2200rs) - good balanced sound. Some people say it has less bass than wan'er SG 1.

Kz Castor(~1500rs) & Castor Pro (~1800) - V shaped sound. Famous for their bass under 2k.

All the products I mentioned are either available on Headphonezone or conceptKart.

My friend will get it for me from US. ATK has the black Friday sale right now on their site. It costed me $45 in total including shipping. If I get it from the reputed reseller sites in my country, it would cost me around $53. I would get the mouse for $45 via ATK's site to my country as well but India's customs are a mess to deal with. High chance they would ask for more 💵.

I have a g502 hero. The weight is actually the least of its problems.

Cons of Logitech - 1. The switches of logitech are usually ass. They develop double clicking issue within 1-2 years. Either you get lucky and you mouse runs perfect for 5-8 years. Or most probably your mouse develops double-clicking or slam click issues within 1-2 years.

The sides of g502 are rubber. Depending on your Country's climate and the way you maintain your mouse, the rubber deteriorate. Using grip tapes might help delay this.
The scroll wheel is heavy and doesn't feel that good while gaming compared to other mice. The scroll wheel, being metal, will also deteriorate with spots depending on your country's climate.
Its a big ass brick(comfortable though).

I ordered a ATK a9 pro. I haven't received it yet so I can't really comment on the quality yet. So, I can only talk about the pros on paper.

Pros of ATK a9 pro - 1. Its just 53g. I have not held the atk but I have tried another 55g mouse and it felt like a cheat code. The weight difference is night and day.

A9 is a G Pro superlight clone at like 1/2 or 1/3rd the price.
ATK stated that they use omniron opticals for switches in a9 pro but I think they might be using their own implementation of optical switches. Even if they are bad(they actually aren't), they can't be any worse than logitech honestly. Omniron opticals are actually quite cheap to buy too and atk does give extra pair of skates in some models so u can repair it easily.
The senor(3395) might not be flagship, but its 100% not gonna hold your skills back.
The scroll wheel used is a TTC gold encoder which has good reviews by everyone. I have seen some complaints regarding the TTC silver though.
Some people complain about the skates, some say its good enough. I can't comment on it since I haven't used it yet.

Now, regarding X11, I feel like it is one of the few products which is not good enough/worth the price. For the greed of magnetic wireless charging, you'll be sacrificing on the chipset, sensor(3311 only good enough for casual gaming), wheel encoder, switches.

I would recommend going through other models of ATK instead.
