TRUTHEAR - TRUTHEAR x Crinacle ZERO

ye tuning mismatch between the iem and your preferences. was it the original zero blue or the zero reds. zero are also known for their pretty bad fit for a good amount of people with really chunky nozzles. if the blues weren't bassy enough for you you're probably a basshead and would enjoy something like 7hz legato

firstly OP's issue is that its a tuning mismatch. man prefers absolute bass cannon set and zero blues don't deliver that, very simple anyways if thats the case everyone who's plugging their hybrids straight into their pc would be **screwed** which I don't believe 100% plays out that way. ew300, em6l, zero reds without adapter, are some common sets people just plug and play gaming on pc but also listen to for music I just happen to filter those ones because their common use on PC. gaming performance would also be screwed if their intended sound signature was completely 'destroyed' and i believe you would see a landslide of complaints supermix i've seen are particularily sensitive which I'll agree with tuning changes that i've seen so I don't completely disagree. but for *every single* hybrid and multi driver to be **destroyed** in tuning thats just very hyperbolic Either way thats my humble read on the matter. I stand by that blues tuning are *much* less bassy then the sony's presented too so I do believe that to be an issue of tuning mismatch if you're a fan of bass cannons so even if we were to grant the tuning of the blues to be guaranteed screwed, the 'stock' tuning of it would will likely still not be up to OP's preferences

Truthear zero all the way bro. Absolute value for money, only costs $47 from amazon. It has good positional audio for gaming and really crisp. FWIW, my mate and I recently did an analysis on Reddit data for IEMs. Basically ranked them by aggregated sentiment. Maybe you'll find it helpful (google RedditRecs) You can filter by use cases, price ranges, and get a breakdown of what ppl have said about the most often recommended ones (disclaimer some links are affiliate they help fund the analyses)

Месье! Посоветуй Не могу подобрать уши к shanling m1 plus. Слушаю в основном металы и электронку. Сразу кажется с непривычки, что вообще нет баса Castor pro с тублерами 1100 - уже почти к ним привык, но чего то не хватает. V образные TRN white tiger - середина и вокал сильно лезут вперед, отодвигая остальное на задний план. че-то не идут Truthear Crinacle zero - слабо звучат, но дефолтный кабель паршивый, норм кабель еще едет Вот теперь на форуме вместо вышеперечисленных рекомендуют эти KZ ZVX PRO, мол на голову выше звучат, хотя везде пишут, что баса маловато Как бы ты сравнил эти уши с вышеперечисленными? Спасибо!

With Mic? Can you explain the mic connected to the earbud combo or standalone IEM's? Standalone IEMs, my vote is Truth Ear.

for me, the real problem of zero red and blue is not their sound but their comfort is the problem. their big nozzle create the pain vacuum in my ears. i end up returned both of them because i can't wear their more than 1 hour.

Personally I like the Trio and the Vader Balanced over any of the Truthear Zeros. You can get the Trio or Vader Balanced for under $30, and with a good cable from KBEar, you will still be under the price of the Zeros, and have better overall tonality, without the oddball shortcomings of the Zeros. I still feel, personally, that the Zero Blue is better than the Blue2. But I am in a minority for this opinion.

Something that dramatically augments the sound isn't a big deal? Ok Chief. I own all three of the Zeros. The OG Blue I gave to a friend. My Zero Red delaminated, and was trashed (still use the impedance adapter for testing), and the Zero2 I returned, because that 12k peak was absolute garbage. If they ever release a Zero:RED2 that corrects the Zero2 treble spike, and is closer to JM1 in a properly budget set, I will get it too. Just because YOU don't have a problem on a laptop (which typically has a weaker headphone putout, or if it is a Mac, they are low impedance by design), almost every PC motherboard is high impedance. It basic electronics and electrical engineering science. Can't change physics. And it's something that everyone should be aware of, so if they encounter it, they know.

There are hundreds of measurements of the Zero out there with impedance adapters. And plenty of other multi driver IEM's that show that increased impedance in the output dramatically effects the tonality of the IEM. Its literal electrical engineering, and your arguing with it. Do you think the earth is flat too? https://audioamigo.squig.link/?share=Truthear_Zero,Truthear_Zero_15_Ohm,Truthear_Zero_Blue_2,Truthear_Zero_Blue_2_15_Ohm,Truthear_Zero_Red,Truthear_Zero_Red_Ruyi_Rod Normalize that at 1k to make it make more sense. And thats from a paltry 15ohm increase. Its not uncomon to see double that on some PC sound outputs. And quantifying anecdotally that you used a shitty PC soundcard, doesnt mean anything. The majority of moden PC motherboards, especially nicer ones, have Headphone amps specifically designed for higher impedance headphones. Like 300ohm Bereydynamics and Sennheisers. It is a very well known, very well documented, and very understand electrical crossover issue. Why you are sitting here denying science is unbelievable. When there are measurements, and countless questions about it, and multiple threads telling people on PC to buy dongles to prevent it from happening.

The Zero Blue is is no way "neitral", it is a very U shaped IEM. Meaning the upper mids and sub bass are boosted. The idea was to have a more "speaker like" experience with the way the upper mids were tuned, and how the sub bass is more tuned like a subwoofer with a lot of lower gain before 200hrz. Its using a neutral sound curve known as JM1 for the mid-range presentation, but the treble and sub bass are crabked up to add wow factor. The Zero: RED is closer to neutral, and the Zero Blue 2 has more of an OG Zero Blue feel to the bass and treble tuning, but matching the timbre and tone of the RED with more bass.

I have the original zero blue and it’s too sensitive for my ps5 controller and I get background buzz not sure if the same would happen on the red or blue two

Truthear x crinacle zero blue not the 2 version but the OG

For gaming under 100 truthear crinacle zero without a doubt

It seems the Chu 2 is a highly regarded iem here, well if you go outside your comfort zone, I mean see outside the box there are many better budget options to consider, here 7hz Salnotes Zero 2 is a slightly more bassy version of the Chu 2, a good allrounder Blon Z300 is basically a very balanced set with good sub bass and a clean unspicy treble, comes with a decent 4.4mm balanced cable  QKZ xHBB is my fav budget basshead, it can produce immersive reverberating sub bass rumble with the right matching eartips (Spinfit CP100 for me), it also has good soundstage and imaging, with clean vocal and treble clarity too The KZ Saga is a rare KZ with a very well balanced neutral tuning, not lacking or boosting any part of the frequencies, with the right matching eartips it can qualify as an budget audiophile quality basshead, especially the bass version CCA Trio can be considered as a small upgrade from the Castor Bass with less overwhelming bass intensity and a more balanced set with a clean un-muddy sub bass focus Truthear Zero (blue) are mostly balanced sounding, with good imaging and soundstage, has good bass punch and texture
