Anyone have any input on IEMS with a mic? Trying to find something to use with my VR headset and I'm just out of my depth on these things. I want quality with a max budget around 200 USD (Unless something is stupid worth it for a bit more).
Saw a random Instagram ad today and remembered this post. No idea wtf these are but apparently it makes you awesome at Call of Duty.


Well, now that I look at the website, maybe he just had an ant lion attached to the ear bud. Oh well, started posting before checking the site.

Not speakers, but...

I went to a headphone meet about 10 years ago. There was about 40 setups or so at the hotel. I heard some guys setup that was about 15k? Mine was about 2k. I was rocking a WA6/HD800 I forget the DAC. Some 20 dollar cables. His setup IMO just sounded...OK. Subjectively speaking I absolutely could not hear what 15k got him vs my 2k setup. The funnier thing was waaaaay more people wanted to hear that WA6 amp and the Sophia tube and their headphones than his setup.

Ya when I had to upgrade speakers I reminded myself that as the prices started to triple and quadruple up the product lines, I had to honestly be able to tell myself, "Does this sound 3x better than the one I just listened to, to justify this sort of price jump ?"
And if I buy this and the wife pokes a hole through it with the end of the mop she swings around like a boom, which countries have non extradition treaties ?
