RGT Rating 

Yes, the Moondrop Quarks 2 is generally considered a very strong budget option for gaming, especially competitive gaming, due to its clean and accurate sound profile and the convenience of the integrated USB-C DAC/DSP. Its accurate tuning helps with positional audio.

Imaging and Soundstage: 4/5

Imaging: Generally described as precise and accurate for their price range, making them very suitable for competitive gaming where pinpointing enemy locations is crucial.

Soundstage: Reviewers note a good or wide soundstage for a micro-dynamic driver IEM, providing a good sense of space, which is beneficial in games like Tarkov or other immersive titles.

Sound Signature: Neutral, Clean, Controlled

The neutral and controlled sound signature is the Quarks 2's major strength for gaming. It provides a balanced audio representation, ensuring that crucial in-game sounds like footsteps and gunshots are clear and not overwhelmed by excessive bass. The inclusion of a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) in the USB-C version allows for a more refined tuning than its predecessor.

Comfort: 4/5

The Quarks 2 features a compact, lightweight, bullet-shaped shell, which many users find comfortable for long gaming sessions and even for sleeping. The deep insertion fit, however, is a "love or hate" aspect, and some users may need to swap the ear tips to find a perfect, secure fit without pressure issues.

Versatility: 5/5

The integrated USB-C DAC/DSP with an in-line microphone and remote controls makes the Quarks 2 highly versatile. It offers superior plug-and-play convenience with PCs, laptops, and mobile devices, making it great for both gaming and daily music listening on the go.

Potential Drawbacks:

• Cable Quality and Durability: Users frequently mention that the cable is of basic or questionable quality and may be prone to tangling or wear and tear over time.
• Fit/Pressure Issues: The deep insertion fit (bullet shape) can cause pressure issues for some users, making tip-rolling (trying different ear tips) necessary to achieve optimal comfort and seal.
• Resolution and Technicalities: While the sound is clean and the imaging is good, the overall resolution, transparency, and bass layering are considered adequate but not outstanding compared to higher-priced options.
• Volume Limits: Some users note that the maximum volume level may be lower than preferred, especially for those who listen at very high volumes.
• No Replaceable Cable: Unlike the Moondrop Chu 2, the Quarks 2 cable is fixed (not detachable), which is a drawback if the cable fails.
