recently got the truthear crinacle zero as my first IEMs, and in tarkov they make a huge difference, i went form not being able to tell if a player is flanking me from right or from left (with my Sennheiser gsp350 headphones) to literally tracking a player through wall as he comes at me by the sound of his steps. Clarity is also really good, i'm not worried about missing the steps in the rain anymore. But to be completely honest comfort wise they just suck, i take them off as as soon as i finish a raid cuz my ears hurt. Not sure what's the problem, i actually never found those vacuum earphones to be comfortable, so maybe it's just me. All in all, sound wise couldn't recommend them more

After tried IEM's like the HBB Raptgo, the Fiio JH5 and a few others I would say this; unless you have an issue with open back headphones, just get the K702's. They cost less than £110 new on Amazon and you literally need to spend 10 times more (HD800s) to beat their soundstage and imaging. Physics don't lie. I see a lot of reviewers talking about gear A and B that was just released, but the princes of soundstage and imaging only second to the HD800 seem to go unnoticed because they've been around for longer than literally KZitem itself.

@@ksavx2119 you know, as quirky as this reads, it’s 💯 percent accurate. Typically, the more larger the hole is, the brighter it will sound. And with the smaller holes, it will capture more of the bass. If you’re into competitive gaming, you’d want the highs and mids to shine. If you want more of an immersive experience, bass is king! Overall, you have to make sure you have a great seal!

With the orchestra lites, the trick is to use a larger tip than usual but push it all the way down on the nozzle till the end of the tip almost flush with the nozzle. It’ll fully seal without actually going into your ear canal. The size and shape of the iem will still lock it into place and won’t move around or irritate your ear. Just try it. Once you have a good seal, those things are amazing!

@@__vha I used the clear stock tips but the its mostly about the size so it works for me with all the tips that are that size The trick for me was just using a tip that’s big enough to fully fill that little cavity that’s just above your earlobe and inside that little middle lip in the front of your ear without actually going into you ear canal. It basically deals at the entrance of the canal without penetrating it. U just adjust the length the tip sticks out so that it pushes firmly against the canal entrance without going in and the rest of the iem frame kinda locks into your outer ear. That way it’s perfectly secure. It won’t move around and cause discomfort and also isn’t sodomizing your ear canal and moving around in there driving you crazy. Once I found that sweet spot, I played 7-8hrs with no soreness but still felt that they were there. After about the third day playing, I kinda forget they’re there other than the occasional itch from not having ventilation. Absolutely zero soreness or genuine discomfort. That occasional itch is all I’ve felt since.

@@ShadelessDen I bought some spinfit tips before I found the trick but they were my normal size to fit inside my canal so the trick doesn’t work with them. They’re great on my 7hz sonus iems though. I think they would be great for the trick as well if they were the bigger size. Also, if you’re playing fps type multiplayer games like warzone and you’re using them for that precise directional audio and u can’t wear the orchestra lites the entire time and need something affordable to switch out to for a break, the 7hz sonus iems will fill that void perfectly. The directional audio precision is superb. I struggle to hear a difference in warzone as far as pinpointing enemies and they’re only like $60. I bought mine from Amazon in “used like new” condition for $44. They’re so good, I’ve bought a set for 2 of my sons, and then i bought one and sent it to my nephew in the air force and another to a discord friend I play with just to show how much better iems are than headsets for warzone. My nephew dropped his steel series headset for them and my discord friend uses them over his beyer dynamic dt770 headphones. The orchestra lites sound a little better as far as beauty of the sound goes but as far as game performance, I’m confident that nobody who tries them will be disappointed.

The problem with the Crinacle Zero Red making it difficult to detect where enemies are has to do with the game's engine. Tarkov is famous for it's horrible audio engine, you should perhaps try a different game or something else to test their directional audio.

If you’ve already turned up your PC, Tarkov, and volume settings, and it’s still low, you may want to test out the fit of your tips. Adjust them and see how that goes. Worst case, you may want to look at adding a Dac to your setup. A Dac/amp will give the product more power to run. You shouldn’t need one, but that’s what I’d do bud!

Diminishing returns is very real, and often I get " the best new thing ever since sliced bread", and a period of initial disappointment. I then get tuned into the new sound (hearing adjusts I guess), and end up appreciating how much better "the new thing" is than I had before. My current " this is the best thing I have ever heard" is my Audeze Maxwell over ear headphones, and my MP145 IEMS. I have reasons for why I like having both, which I can elaborate on if you want, but the MP145 is the IEM equivalent of my Over ear headphones. They sound phenomenal. I play both competitive FPS at a decent level ( Onyx in Halo) as well as story based games or RPGs.
