RGT Rating 

The EPZ Audio Q1 Pro is a fantastic budget IEM that delivers excellent comfort and solid technical performance for its price point. Its accurate imaging makes it a strong contender for competitive gaming, and its engaging sound signature works well for music, making it a highly versatile choice.

Imaging and Soundstage: 4/5

Excellent imaging for the price, which is crucial for pinpointing enemy locations (footsteps, gunshots). Soundstage is often described as wide and providing good spatial awareness.

Sound Signature: Mild V-Shape/Modified Harman

Clean, energetic, and engaging. It features good sub-bass presence and a forward upper-midrange/lower-treble emphasis, which helps with clarity and details like footsteps.

Comfort: 4.5/5

Exceptional comfort is one of its biggest strengths. The lightweight, ergonomic, 3D-printed resin shell is often cited as being great for long gaming or listening sessions.

Versatility: 5/5

Highly versatile. The accurate imaging excels for competitive gaming, and the fun, engaging sound profile is great for general music listening across multiple genres (especially EDM, Pop, Rock). It is also offered with different cable options (3.5mm, Type-C, with or without mic).

Potential Drawbacks:

Potential for Fatigue/Shoutiness: The emphasis on the upper mids and lower treble, characteristic of the tuning, can occasionally sound a bit fatiguing, bright, or "shouty" on poorly mixed tracks or at very high volumes for some sensitive listeners.

Not the Most Detailed: While the technicalities are great for the price, the overall resolving ability and retrieval of micro-details are considered average, not class-leading when compared to slightly more expensive IEMs.

Bass Quantity/Impact (Subjective): Those who prefer a very prominent, powerful mid-bass punch might find it a little light or "lean," as the tuning tends to favor sub-bass over mid-bass.

Accessories: Some users mention the included accessories (eartips/pouch) are limited compared to some competitors.
