You might be right about him, but still, trying to gate on people flexing in a subreddit where you're very welcome to do that is really dumb. We're here to flex on our nice audio stuff, be it expensive or cheap.

Yet, he ain't wrong, imo, about the headphones for gaming part. Of course, I pretty much assume OP already have a high-end setup, with a 4090 or something.

S12 are also really good, I own a pair as well and they are amazing but the hexa are more comfortable to me, the S12 in my left ear always starts to slip of no matter what eartips I choose. Also I find the S12 a little fatiguing because of the treble.

I think I'm still a little in the honeymoon period but is also because I really like them, the things I like about is the clarity of the sound, you can hear everything in songs and the imaging for games like halo is really good, also they are the most comfortable iems I own and I own Aria, S12, zs10 pro x, blon 01, and the Chus. What I don't like is that the cable feels frail, they get a little quiet I think they would benefit from an amp but I don't own any, and I think that's it and I'm nit picking

That's the task for a sound engineer, real-time mixing is the thing that needs to be done. If you don't hear bass and keys, upmix them on a mixing console.

M50x is a decent headphone for your task (not so much for listening to music, but for monitoring they're OK).

Hi Thanks for your reply. The Elekit is very tempting mainly because it will push me to learn a new skill (soldering) and gives a sense of accomplishment from DIY. My research showed me the same recommendation of 2w at 50ohms. Suggestions include the iFi Pro iCAN, Rebel amp, and Ragnarok.

Would a preamp help if it is underpowered later?
