Wired InEars for Music and Gaming?
Hello everyone,
unfortunately I have to replace my audio-technica ATH-CKX9 InEars with a new pair.
I was hoping you could help me find new ones:
- Wired InEar
- 3.5mm jack
- Use at home (Music/Gaming: 50/50)
- Homogeneous sound (if possible)
- Up to 120€/$
Thanks in advance, help is much appreciated!
I recently got some Moondrop Arias and am really liking them. They retail for about 80USD.
I also recently got a set of those. I've really been enjoying them for at the desk and on the go.
KB Ears are great and cheap. You can even get a balanced output cable if you're looking for an upgrade: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08X49KG74?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
It's quite hard to beat the latest Crinacle collaborations if you want a neutral/natural sound.

I own the Zero Red and they are quite good to my ear.

Audio Technica earbuds for 100 USD (92€)

But it's twice the price.
I've been using KZ ZSN Earbuds since 2019, and they're going strong. Not the best, but for $25, they're surprisingly durable, and get the job done.
Seconding the KZ ZSN earbuds. I have been using them for a couple of years and they are great, especially for the price. I broke one of mine by rolling on it and it crushed the pin so without a delay I ordered a second pair. To be clear, nothing would have survived my mistreatment unless machined from steel or similar, but they survived for ages even with that abuse.
