I switched to IEMs (In ear monitor) from over-ears and I'm in a new world.
So, for the past couple years I've been using Astro A40TRs with an Astro Mixamp and have really enjoyed it up to this point. However... I wanted to venture into something different because the weight of them were just getting to me and I also wanted to get rid of the infamous gamer headphone band indent: I switched to these IEMs and when I tell you it's a game changer... I have them plugged into the same Mixamp (looking for a better mixamp or suggestions atm), and they are just amazing.
Have any of you guys ever tried IEMs for gaming or wondered about something different? Share what you use and your thoughts!

Those are interesting, I don't know if I would get those personally as I find in ears start to hurt after extended use.
I currently embarassigly rock the steelseries arctis 7, I am looking into getting a higher-quality set of headphones though as I don't necessarily need the microphone that is present on the current headset. I can't believe you wanted to remove that wonderful indent, that's the staple of gaming right there. |

Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee
Modmic 4 I do run the headphones though a SMSL SD-793ii DAC Edit: So I daily my Sennheiser's for normal use. There will be a time where it'll be late and night and just want to jam to music in the typical bass heavy fashion ignoring all quality. So yea, to cut a long story, I also run V-Moda Crossfade LP2 And then comes my speakers... I think I'm compensating here but KRK Rokit 10-G3 I know this isn't a speaker post but holy hell, the KRK's really are amazing speakers. Bit overpowering for a room setup but I'm lucky enough to be able to crank these enough to warrant the purchase. I love my music far too much Damn near the same price a "gaming" headset but is better in every single way apart from ease of use if you're new to audio. I personally wouldn't switch to IEM's. I think you can get open backed IEM's but it's one of those things that I've never tried so I can't exactly comment on the audio side of it but I can wear my headphones for hours on end without overheating or tiredness |

Spencer wrote Those are interesting, I don't know if I would get those personally as I find in ears start to hurt after extended use. I agree with that sentiment. The ear tips that came along with the IEMs were actually just plain, hard plastic ones, so I went ahead and purchased some Comply memory foam tips and they work wonders. I don't even feel them in my ears |

| Kinda like this idea especially since I'm using exactly what you did before you changed. |
