Don't need sound for amphi :D

if u find any decent ones, tell me, i want ones too :|

don't you already use some earbuds (according to your lately posted fb picture) ?

it's some random 2€ earbuds, not even good to listen to music decently ;/

Earphones for gaming? I've never heard bigger nonsense.

Do you even know what ur talking about?

A lot of pro players are using earbuds, avek and cypher on almost every lan are using razer moray. I'm using moray+ too, but I don't really know too much about headphones. I bought it because it was a nice prize offert. For me they are very good, enaugh to hear everything what I need.

I'm not saying that if u will have a gear like avek u will play like him. But it's just obvious if they can play their best on that headphones you too will be able to.

Of course I know. If you said that Razer's earphones/headphones are good I don't what to talk to you.

the joke's on you... you bought razer earbuds for 55€+ because cypher wore them on some lan and instead of going into hiding you proclaim in public you thought they were "a nice prize effort" :S

you can't be helped, but leave shambler alone. my guess is that (in)earbuds help a lot with cancelling out the noise on lans and that is mainly why you see some of the duellers using them. they are in general not a good idea for quake, unless you're a regular on those "esports" lans.

When I think of in ear headphones there is two major things that strike me.
1. Ear mud!
2. <--------------------------------------->

Size of the speaker is pathetic for anything than producing sound. No bass, no decent mids, and no good treble either.

without having them tested, i would recommend the Superlux HD 381.

superlux is basicly the taiwanese (or chinese if you want) equivalent to beyerdynamics, akg and whatnot. so, the medium to high priced headphone brands. means also medium to great sound quality for like 1/4 of the usual price. they go for like 20€ here in hitlerland.

good review of them with comparisons to other inears, which cost up to 300€ (Shure SE530)...

20€? buy me ones and send it, i'll pay it :x

checked, the shipping is 20€ to portugal on top :/
other than a polish reseller, i couldn't find any other shop in europe who got these.

thomann.de

so 40€?!

I can comment on Superlux a postitve one.

Mine's a a headphone (HD 681B) not ar earplug, but this stuff really worths the money you invest.

Was about 35$ brand new, with a carrying bag and a bonus 6.3 mm gold-plated adapter.

Massive, dynamic semi-open, quite comfortable, 2.5m (!) rubber-like coated cable, medium sound-proofness, circumaural, leatherette pads, gold-plated jack.

The sound of it is nice (especially regarding the price-range it covers) and I say this, even so I'm quite picky regarding sound quality. Pleasant lows, a bit squeaky highs, nice bass, good vocals, acceptable dynamics.

It's good not just for gaming but to watch movies or listening to music too. Especially when you consider the price. It sounds even better with my Audigy than with the integrated audio (though it's true for other headphones too - but a good soundcard is something that is always good to have).

Based on my experience, I would suggest you to try some Superlux earbuds if you got the opportunity. This brand looks really promising - and definitely not pricy.

Sennheiser CX300 if you just want some cheap IEM's, by far the best bang-for-buck.

There are much, much better alternatives at that price (MEElec M6 or Brainwavz Beta, for example).

I got mine for £10, like six years ago. Those two you listed are like $50 and $30 listed price, which is at minimum twice the price I got the cx300's for.

RRP for the CX300 is about the same (or even higher) than those I mentioned.

I have the CX300 II, and I think they're great. That being said, I just use them for my mp3 player, and not for gaming

What headset do you have?

Circumaural > Supra-aural

I cannot imagine any ear buds being more comfortable than my headphones. Shure SRH840s here.

I hate inears and use the regular earbuds when I am not wearing my headphones.... greetings from 2006

Sennheiser IE6 or IE80

Good soft sound

Hifiman RE-0 are great for gaming (and everything else obviously), super accurate positioning and extreme detailing. Very neutral too (flat frequency response). Bass is subtle (insufficient for some people and some music genres) but still present and accurate.

Both are pretty similar but the more expensive one requires a bit less juice (more suited to a weak player or soundcard).

Probably even better than ASUS Xonar Essence STX + Sennheiser PC 360.

Was that really meant as a reply to me? I was answering the guy and never said IEMs would be better than headphones (although top of the line IEMs do beat the crap out of not-so-good headphones).

( BTW Essence STX is completely overkill for Sennheiser PC 360. May as well get the Xonar DG or the DX even. )

Sennheiser PC300 earbuds are great for Quake Live.
