I get new hearing aids about once per decade. My previous pair, which were my first digital hearing aids, went all out on erasing background noise to assist in the isolation of human conversation. My current pair of hearing aids backs off on the background noise cancellation, because it was found that there is a lot of background noise that you actually want or need to hear, like bird song or engine and motor noises. You'd think you want to get rid of all engine or motor noise, but when something bad is happening with said engine or motor, or it has failed entirely and isn't making noise at all, you may need to know about that.\r\n\r\nI tried the Bluetooth for listening to music in my previous pair, and the sound quality was very rinky-dink and vastly inferior compared to a [$30 pair of IEMs](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RGXHYBW/). That was about 15 years ago so maybe it's better now but I don't feel the need to try it because, as far as I can tell from paying close attention to how they advertise even the latest advances in Bluetooth audio, what they still haven't figured out how to do is keep the audio synced with video, so they are very careful to avoid talking about watching TV with it. It is maddening to have a variable delay of the lips not matching up with the words, particularly for those of us who use lip-reading to assist with speech comprehension.\r\n\r\nI think we're going to see a lot of very bad marketing behavior from OTC hearing aid sellers. There's a huge generation of clueless baby boomers with fading hearing that are ripe for exploitation.","subreddit_name":"technews","author":"uluqat"},{"body":"I could only find the E1000 on [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/E1000-Isolating-Earphones-Certified-Designed/dp/B07RGXHYBW/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=final%2Baudio%2Be500\u0026amp;qid=1637555714\u0026amp;sr=8-3\u0026amp;th=1).

In every comparison, the Starfield always loses in professional reviews but this is to be expected. \r\n\r\nThat being said, the Starfield are easier to use at first and does a good job so I can see why there is a lot of support for it. It may be too overhyped for what it is though. \r\n\r\nComparing KZ to Starfield to ER2XR, the issue with KZ is that they don't focus a lot of their attention on tuning. The Starfield and ER2XR are both good in tuning although the ER2XR wins in technicalities, in a flatter response (Starfield is more warmish for the Harman Curve) and responds better to EQ. \r\n\r\nTo answer your question, yes. There is a difference between KZ and the Starfield to be worth the price. \r\n\r\n**To be fair, I don't know why you are considering KZ unless you want the bass. Get the Final Audio E1000 if you want a neutral IEM that works with most music, it's only $30 USD.** It does really great in comparison with other IEMs and can compete with others that are much higher at a price.

You will not get the small details of other IEMs at higher prices but the presentation is really well done for the price and it punches above its weight (price tag).\r\n\r\nThey are $30 and are the main pick/recommendation for metal.
