getting a lot of head pain from my headset. would like to switch to ear phones with my pc - as in the things that go *inside* your ears rather than around the outside. i dont play games much so its not like its important for them to be super high quality but definitely want something better than the ones that come free with mobile phones. never been into airpods and shit, need recommendations of what to do here. sound privacy is important (as in, i dont want other people in my irl vicinity to hear the audio im listening to, dont know if this is ever a problem with any) and of course comfort is but besides but idrk just want decent ones i guess (wireless would certainly be nice since i work out at home, but not a necessity). hit me with recommendations tftv.

also happy to receive headphones/set recommendations that can be praised for comfort but also arent super expensive, because ive used 2 hyperx headsets that have both developed issues of ear pain (on my left side specifically for some reason)

a cheap pair of iems might be a good starting point

the Moondrop CHU II are 20 bucks on amazon, they have decent sound quality and i havent heard any complaints about comfortability

they are wired but if you really like them, a decent iem bluetooth conversion kit is like 30 bucks

KZ produces some solid budget earbuds if you’re getting into IEMS. I liked KZ ZS10’s and they’re only around 15-20 bucks

Second on the moondrop rec. Especially if you can get a pricier pair like the arias.

TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero: RED

Really nice for both music and in game sound, and not super expensive.

I had the ve monk+ and it was too big for my ears personally, but for me the ve monk lite was pretty nice (very bass light though). And absurdly cheap iirc, kinda of ridiculous what you can do with like $5 buds.

kz makes rly good ones and sennheiser has some but they're rly expensive so imo just go with KZ's they're solid af. can't stand IEMs for gaming personally i way prefer openbacks
