No-one requested this, but the Twitch section does seem a bit dusty and unloved.

See if we can't wake it up a bit.

For anyone who isn't playing MS Flight Sim tonight (18 Aug) and wants to lob mild abuse at me, drop by https://www.twitch.tv/alphadm

I can't promise to be playing Action Quake tho...

I'm on from 20:00 to 22:00 Tue & Thu and Sun 08:00 (I know, right) to 10:00.

I'll be continuing Carrion tonight so I don't have to pause the game to chat.

The Shures turned up and showed an immediate boost over the existing no-names in the mid and high range, and an improvement in noise isolation that allows all those background noises to be heard (read: people sneaking about the map).  Removable cable mean that I could upgrade to a Bluetooth system by buying the appropriate cable.  I'm aware of, but can't comment on the single vs multi driver arguments because I've not made the comparison.

If you're thinking of trying them out, IEMs will initially feel unfamiliar and possibly uncomfortable to new users, but after 5-10 days use, headphones will just seem so heavy and clunky.  And they can be worn with hats that aren't baseball or beanie.  Result.

Just don't buy expensive ones first time out.

I've never Conaned and I really can't get on with Ark.  I'm still toying with the idea of Wing Commander 2029 (Star Citizen).  Elite got very grindy and I spent far too much time mining for Void Opals to buy ships that I would only use to mine Void Opals.

My one-man show on Twitch is at https://www.twitch.tv/alphadm

Please note the hat is real, but the beard is fake.

I've not used headphones for gaming for over a year now since I switched to in-ear monitors.  Previously I'd used Corsair Void Elites which was probably the most comfortable headset I'd ever used, but now I just couldn't go back to clunky headsets.

Up to now, I've had no-name Amazon specials which I originally bought for mobile use, but since WFH from the end of March, I've been wearing them nearly all day then gaming with them later.  Try that with any headset for six months.

Currently awaiting delivery of these well-recommended Shure SE215s:

Playing stuff like DayZ, PoE, M&B2 Bananalord, Elite and various others.  Twitch streaming and wondering what to do on YouTube.

DaVinci Resolve 16 is a professional quality movie, sound, titling and effects editor.  And it's free.

It also has a learning curve.
