TRUTHEAR - TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero:BLUE2

My personal rankings for stuff I've heard. I'm a neutral/neutral bright guy. (My post on reddit goes somewhat in depth on all of these, sadly I'm not very technical in my language) Kotori Audio Zephyr (Duh) Truthear Hexa Tangzu Yu Xuan Ji (might be too bright for some but easily looks the prettiest by a *BIG* margin) Truthear Gate (My current set, would upgrade to one of the options in the list in a few months) Tanchjim 4u (Bang for buck) Truthear x Crinacle blue 2 (tachjim 4u has better value) Aful Magicone (very similar to hexa) Moondrop May (A default starter set for almost everyone regardless of taste.) Letshouer s08 (not my taste, great value, premium for the price) Letshouer dz4 (not my taste, great value) Moondrop Chu 2 (My previous set that are lying around somewhere) Tangzu x hbb Xuan Nv (just because of the fit) Kotori Audio Vampire I'll check out your YouTube!

It means you’re gonna enjoy the zero: red more than the zero blue

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)

Look into Truthear Crinacle Zero BLUE 2 using the stock silicon eartips not the foam like most will recommend. It almost graphs or has the same frequency response in the treble and air region https://graph.hangout.audio/iem/711/?share=Ear_(1),BLUE2_S37

I have truthear zero blue 2 and moondrop rays i like the moondrop rays more and they are far more comfortable

Didn't stop me from getting the Defiants though 😆. Fits really well to my collection as I tend to rotate sound signatures quite a bit. My main rotation of Hexa (Brighter Neutral), Pure (Warmer Neutral), Blue:2 (Hard V-shape), and Defiant (Soft V-shape) satisfies my cravings well (for now).

Pure's a good pick, especially since you want neutral but with a bit more body. Bass is also more present compared to the Hexa. Haven't heard of magicone myself, but graph suggestes the treble may be a bit spicy? Explorer is also pretty good when I listened to them, though I went with the Pure between the two for my warm-leaning set. I'd probably wait a bit to see what the Moondrop LAN II brings, since apparently there's going to be 2 versions (reference and pop). If you found the Hexa to be thin, the Zero Blue:2 is probably not for you (I have and enjoy it, but it's not really what I'd call neutral and the mids are pretty thin). One more set that I would recommend is the Juzear Defiant. It's not neutral, but it's fun and balanced. From my main 4 sets (Juzear Defiant, Truthear Pure, Hexa, Zero Blue 2), it's the set that's easiest to recommend to someone that doesn't know their preference (though my favorite is still the Pure/Hexa).

I have both, but I'm not sure how I can help without knowing more of what type of sound you prefer (since they are VERY different). The specs aren't really as important as that. I can give some goods and bads of each one, but at the end it will depend on your sound preferences. Zero Blue 2: +Really nice sub bass rumble, and comes with a bass adapter to further boost the bass thump +Overall sound "feels" more spacious, because of the thinner mids and brighter treble +Has a mic variant that comes with both a mic and non-mic cable -Vocals can sound a bit thin and shouty -VERY source dependent (don't plug it straight to your PC, a cheap dongle like the Jcally JM6 Pro is good enough) -Treble can be sharp depending on your tolerances and eartip choice (included foam eartips or aftermarket deep-insert silicone eartips may be preferred to balance it) Pure: +Balanced warm-neutral tuning that's very nice to listen to for long periods +Natural sounding vocals and bass +Very safe treble while still being detailed -Sense of space is more intimate because of the warm-leaning tuning -May be "boring" because the bass and treble isn't overemphasized Between these two, I'd choose the zero blue 2 if you lean into competitive FPS gaming or aim for the bass. Otherwise, I find the Pure to be a safer choice for music. There are also a bunch of other options in the price range though, which may be better suited for you (again, depending on your preferences)

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.
