Flat head i mean, or clip on or small headphone, something open ... Detail and neutral sounding is a bonus
I use Fiio FF3 for Skyrim quite often (before Bethesda and Steam update the game and mess up core mods again). Very open (earbuds), bassy enough to create atmosphere, accurate enough to know where the monsters are.

For 7Hz fans, a new IEM, the 7Hz Legato

Legato usage in music theory: "smooth and flowing in manner, without breaks between notes."

Check out the TRN XuanWu but I bet you won't get it too soon.

Oh wait, earbuds, forget it. Buds aren't too good for gaming, FPS, I suppose due to the seal.
Well well i have GK10 so i can't really bring myself to buy another almost planar iem

By the way can anyone recommend a good soundstage earbud for gaming? Been looking for koss ksc75 but i kinda scare of the fit so, anything under 50$. Or should i buy a "gaming headset" ?
The Koss KPH30i is a KSC75 in headphone form, so if the clip on is the reason for the fit issues then this is the closest you're going to get.

Oddly, Smabat M4 are probably the best that I've tried for gaming. It depends what kind though, if you're playing something single player and not competitive then you'll want to get something with a more balanced/bassier sound signature.

Of course you could always get the KSC75 and slap a headband on it, if you're scared of the fit. That's what I use 80-90% of the time when gaming.

Consider SoundPeasts H1, a TWS set with 8.6mmDD + BA, Bluetooth 5.2 & Apt-X. Sounds good, fits well and has a gaming mode where latency is cut down to 70ms iirc.
Battery lasts pretty long as well.

Cheers.

Bad news…
AFUL performer shipped by Chukou1 from HifiGo. Tracking says delivered but package never show up.
….need to go thru a long process to file a dispute

Careful using HifiGo

It happened to me on two occasions, the first said delivered and I went round asking various neighbours if they had taken delivery of a parcel for me, none of them had. The next day, the tracking showed that it was on the way back to China.

The second time, I went to the post office to say, "this is showing up as delivered but I have not received the parcel". They checked and said, "it is still here and will be delivered tomorrow". "I do not know what your tracking is doing".

The point is the tracking Apps are not always correct, but it is worth checking to rule out other possibilities.

Thanks, yes I had several occasions. The biggest one was Facebook’s Oculus Quest 2, fortunately it was Amazon’s direct delivery of which they have precise GPS coordinates of point of delivery in their database, I was able to connect to Amazon Tech specialist and they guided me on the exact point of the drop, which was 200m away from my house.

It happened to IEM deliveries too, just not for expensive IEM which generally being taken care well with better delivery providers (DHL, Fedex, UPS). US’s Postal Service has been hit/miss, and this time I was Chukou1 forwarding delivery service to local postal office.

I ordered thru Amazon from HigiGo, so at least the delivery is backed up by Amazon. But that’s gonna take additional days and time for the procedures😞

Still have 5% of hope that it may show up in a day or two.

The stores I have had the best customer support with from asia has been HifiGo and Penon. Never had any issue with shenzhenaudio, so I dont know.

But Linsoul . I have had lost deliverance not being sorted paid back or shipped new unit. Also broken product on deliverance, bear in mind cheap IEM under 30$ then they had to have it shipped back to address it. 35$ to ship back more than the product costed, its like they do not read your emails. Only paste preformatted replies.

Also currently awaiting how Linsoul will sort out a deliverance that was lost by the local courier on the way out, bought during 11.11.
Still waiting 1 month after addressing that it was lost from the courier. I have said that I'm not going to use Linsoul anymore. But then Heyday had to come :wink:
