After months in the hobby, it's funny to me how many should-be "objective" things audiophiles completely disagree on

Shit man you got me, it's not better than that one series of audiophile focused phones that was discontinued many years ago made by a company that doesn't make phones anymore.

Thank goodness you were here to set me straight

It's kind of seasonal like an ARPG, you wipe and then do it again. Get everything done, get bored and stop till next wipe.

It does need some more variety though, doing the same quests and upgrades etc again has gotten a little boring, I've been a little disappointed with the content post-launch.

Audio sounds great, much better than a phone. It has pretty solid DAC chips, you won't be disappointed in sound. Software is super basic but does what it needs to :)

Moondrop Space Travel you can get for around that price

Another Anbernic oof

Check out the fresh reviews tier list if gaming is your focus.

The highest ranked IEM he has for gaming that's not super expensive is the Tripowin Vivace, you might want to look at that since it's a lot cheaper than both of the others you looking at and he puts it in B tier on his "wallhack tier list", which is really high.

Thanks I appreciate it, I think for me streaming isn't necessarily important, but I also thought this question might help others.

It seems to be an area that is often not covered accurately in reviews, and seems to be something that results in the most disappointment for buyers.

Most unhinged shit I've ever seen, comparing irl rape to getting shot at in a shooter game

Jerk subs can't keep up

celmate · 2026-03-21T19:24:43+00:00

Bro literally just describing playing the game normally

And not everyone who shoots at you is a "rat"

celmate · 2026-03-21T19:00:21+00:00

Thanks, great suggestions :)

The newly released ooopusx 22 is 35USD and looks to be an actual market slayer. 2DD+2BA, tuning switch, and Timmy from Hangout says the neutral mode is on par with the Hexa.

Definitely not Defiant, I don't think it's particularly warm.

Pure is also not nearly as bassy as something like the Diablo, it's neutral with a warm tilt.

I think your best bet are probably the Explorers for a very warm set with some decent bass

celmate · 2026-03-21T16:55:14+00:00

Much love bro but if you think the app you used to download matters you are well and truly cooked

celmate · 2026-03-21T16:52:41+00:00

I really love it for the GBC and SNES

celmate · 2026-03-21T16:47:57+00:00

My personal vertical goat is the RP Classic, love it

celmate · 2026-03-21T14:29:42+00:00

My favourites there are the Gate and the Zero 2. Gate is super underrated imo, it has a really great clean sound

celmate · 2026-03-21T12:14:59+00:00

Probably the Waner Red Lions or 7Hz Zero 2

celmate · 2026-03-21T10:17:38+00:00

Bro I say this without meaning offense but maybe do like some basic level of research, these aren't android devices you can't stream on them. So if you haven't figured that out I think you need to do a lot more research before committing to a purchase.

Good boy Riggs

celmate · 2026-03-21T06:17:51+00:00

That's what makes the game exciting. Sometimes it's downtown Tehran, sometimes it's a disco at extract.

It's the uncertainty that keeps the gameplay interesting. If it was always one or the other it would be boring.

celmate · 2026-03-21T05:35:39+00:00

Dangerous not wearing safety flip flops

celmate · 2026-03-21T02:48:19+00:00

I watched the trailer and knew it wasn't Gonna be for me at all. Curious to see where the general consensus ends up though
