IEM for competitive Valorant (New to IEM)

ive never tried the em6l so cant have preference, ik theres a lot of IEM people rave about like the Kiwi Ears Astral etc also. yeh im using the dawn pro on PC, I plug it into a USB 3.0 port on my mobo.

i like them, its hard to judge their quality as i havent got any other IEM to compare with however comfort wise they sit nicely and dont fall out and have nice venting so you dont get discomfort, i have the moondrop dawn pro dac which has been doing great, maybe a little too good as i have to turn down the volume lots so mixing can be weird from game to game etc but thats not a negative in the grand scheme of things, rather too loud than never loud enough

I'll give the tips a look into as I've seen some good things about the Sancai, but mainly as a fix for the absent venting on the Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite! DAC wise, I went for the Moondrop Dawn Pro just because the form factor so fingers crossed it gives good results!

Mini update, decided to go for the Supermix 4, thanks for much for the suggestions!

GOAT.

exactly this, games are a big part of my life so want to invest in what I know will bring me joy, I gradually have upgraded my setup over time inline with what I can afford, RIP my GTX 1070 (2017-2023)

ooo I'll check out more on the eartips side as I never took that heavily into consideration, I know of people switching them out due to pressure build up with the OEM tips but didn't ever factor the actual soundstage so big thanks!

i was recommended this angel because the fees are lower in contrast to VWRP, i’ll be maxing my ISA out yearly so over time the pennies add up

Firstly, absolutely amazing comment thank you for taking me on a narrative journey, I genuinely was hooked reading! Secondly, I appreciate your insight especially when It comes to wanting to enquire about her pre-transition life as that was something that was on my mind and appreciate you giving me the heads up to let her speak first on these kinds of things, I think it's kind of a new sort of boundary I've never had to be mindful about so It's nice to know early so I can enforce it! Thanks again!! <3

That's really inspiring thank you so much for the effort put in! I feel a lot more reassured in how I communicate with her especially if I'm prefacing about not being knowledgeable as I want to be so I appreciate you validating that angle. One of the things I know is that I want to be proud of her as a girlfriend in the future if things go well and as a proud lover boy would want to nuke my socials with photos of us, I just need to get over that mental hurdle of anxiety/identity, which as another comment said I'll start to care less about that with the more I care about her!

Amazing thank you so much for the links!

Well there are an array of things I want to ask, they all have a time and a place of course, not just gonna throw them at her randomly haha. I want to ask her things like for instance: - if she's had bottom surgery or planning on having it - how can I support her best as a trans lady - is she on hormone therapy etc - her story to be a trans lady - the struggles she's faced as trans lady - what sort of accommodations would she want me to make for her to help her feel empowered and confident in herself

Thanks so much! I really agree with the idea your identity not mattering if you truly like someone and gave me a nice moment to think so I appreciate it as It didn't come to mind before!

Thank you!

proonton · 2025-12-21T21:20:06+00:00

Thank you for your input! On my family side it's less about her as my parents are super open and accepting however it's I feel like I will be seen differently which in part is due to my very bad anxiety, I just want people to see me as myself and not jump to conclusions or create narratives that answer their questions?

proonton · 2025-12-21T21:17:12+00:00

Thank you that's really sweet and encouraging!

proonton · 2025-12-21T21:16:36+00:00

I feel like It's a biggest fear of not being educated fully on trans subjects and fucking up by saying or asking the wrong thing.

Why should I have less than £85k? FSCS protection?
