TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero Dual Dynamic Drivers In-ear Headphone

Great quality and value. I collect some headphones and IEMs, but I won't pretend to be a fully-fledged audiophile with a trained ear for the intricacies of sound. That said, these are totally pleasant to listen to, with noticeable bass rumble from the subwoofer. Furthermore, the cable and case are of great quality at this price. These are my go-to recommendations for people looking to get IEs but want to aim a bit higher than the Holas/Salnotes Zeros/Chus.

Great value IEM with a decent cable and nice aesthetics. Fit is a tad big but not as large as the blessing 2. Had to swap out tips to spring tips, but no other problems otherwise for fit. Though the tips were swapped out it was nice to see 7 sets, one of which being foam. The carrying case is ok, not a big fan personally but it's small and keeps everything together. The sound is good considering the price, though the treble can sound a bit gritty, and vocals can come off a bit shouty at times as well. Sub bass was nice, mid bass less so as impact feels less present when sub bass kind of takes over. Even though I've said complaints it's a good performer at $50 imo. Good entry set and a nice pick, especially if you enjoy the harman tuning.

The sound of the model is quite technical, with a pleasantly deep bass, medium nuance and very restrained expressiveness. For jazz or academic music they are, in my opinion, not very suitable, but fans of something dark and aggressive - will definitely be delighted. The final verdict: the headphones are worth the money, but they are definitely not for my taste preferences. If I was into something gothic or gloomy folk - then yes. In fact, I have nothing to add.

While it sounds pretty nice and clean, turns out the harman-tune isnt really my type as i find the upper midrange just too much for my liking. The build of this IEM is good and i think it looks awesome. The cable is okay - while it is really lightweight, i found it really likes to wind in on itself and stiffens itself up a bit too much - i could never get it to stay straight. The comfort is also pretty lackluster - for short sessions (lt;2h) it fits nicely and snuggly but after a while my ears start to ache. Considering the price point, these physical aspects dont matter much and purely for sound this is overall good, while just not my type. Great starting point if youre new to the audio hobby.

Best IEM for Music Lovers & Gamers!

Right out of the box, the design feels very premium. Additionally, the leather case and the eartips along with it is like a cherry on the cake.The cable is very sturdy and durable, and the IEMs fit securely in the ear without causing discomfort, even during extended listening sessions or movies, gaming, or just listening to songs. I rarely find this type of signature sound in this price range.MUSIC:-Bass: The bass is tight, controlled, and has a solid sub-bass presence without being overwhelming. The subwoofer is simply amazing !Mids: The mids are very good, to be honest; vocals are well defined. Whether I'm listening to acoustic, pop, or rock, the vocals and the instruments have a presence that feels intimate and engaging.Highs: Highs are crisp and sharp ... MoreRight out of the box, the design feels very premium.

High frequencies are well maintained.GAMING:-Best positional audio, in my opinion so far. The IEMs will give you the exact audio required to feel the optimal distance of footsteps or, be it gun sounds, breach sounds !Currently I use Night Mode, which perfectly suppresses the gun sounds and enhances footsteps. Moreover, it's the best for Rainbow Six Siege.Truly! Using Truthear x Crinacle—ZERO doesn't feel I am playing the game; it is as if I am in the game!Coming to the eartips, I prefer the middle size one with a smaller hole diameter, which fits perfectly in my ear. Also, the memory foam is also a good option to go to, but it won't last long if used regularly.Currently, I am not using any DAC with the IEM. Surely, it will enhance the experience if used.

Best IEM for Rainbow 6 Siege PERIOD.

Unboxing Experience: If you can ignore the waifu that gives major weeb vibes, the unboxing feels too premium for its price range. From the smooth vacuum drop of the box to the presentation of the iems and eartips with a leather carry pouch, everything feels premium. The box is gonna become a fidget toy itself. Being provided with 7 choices for eartips, 6 of them being silicone and 1 memory foam, a proper fit is guaranteed for any type of ear canal.Setup: I had read reviews before buying, that the Zeros are hard to drive. So, I was obviously worried that I have to buy an amp but that was NOT the case. They run comfortably from both my laptop’s 3.5mm audio port to my main system’s Audio Interface (UMC22) which just needed 5-10% increase on the gain dial over my ... MoreUnboxing Experience: If you can ignore the waifu that gives major weeb vibes, the unboxing feels too premium for its price range.

So, I was obviously worried that I have to buy an amp but that was NOT the case. They run comfortably from both my laptop’s 3.5mm audio port to my main system’s Audio Interface (UMC22) which just needed 5-10% increase on the gain dial over my previously used 7hz Salnotes Zeros. I tried both the memory foam and silicone tips and even though I love the amazing fit of the foam, I chose to go with the small size silicone tips because they were easier and quicker to take on and off with very low to negligible loss in audio quality. Been using them to play my full library on iTunes and I will say even though I’m not a basshead, the dedicated 10mm sub driver is making those heavy bass sounds really powerful and flattering without any major inconvenience or uncomforting factor with NO loss in mids or highs that single driver iems face (I was facing this issue with my 7hz Salnotes Zeros).Ingame: (Note- This part of the review is solely focussed for Rainbow 6 Siege using Night Mode Dynamic Range) The dedicated 10mm driver is a godsend here. It ensures you get a separate bass response for players above your current floor while the footstep sounds from the same floor are still crystal clear. The sound staging is great enough to make you hear directional audio really well. It has even gotten me hacker accusations so you get the idea. The sound of distant barricades breaking, to explosions and heavy bullet sounds being muffled out while you are guaranteed to get the lighter audio cues sharply is why Streamers, Tier 1 Pro League Players and CCs namely TheGodlyNoob, G2 roster consisting of Doki, Blurr, Benja, Alem4o and Virtue and CCs like Kudos, HaanSolo all use and recommend it.EQ: I am using Equalizer APO with the Peace Interface and my EQ is as follows-Preamp: -6.1 dBFilter 1: ON PK Fc 20 Hz Gain 4.7 dB Q 0.800Filter 2: ON PK Fc 87 Hz Gain -0.9 dB Q 1.700Filter 3: ON PK Fc 170 Hz Gain 1.6 dB Q 2.000Filter 4: ON PK Fc 300 Hz Gain -1.2 dB Q 1.800Filter 5: ON PK Fc 830 Hz Gain 1.1 dB Q 1.700Filter 6: ON PK Fc 1500 Hz Gain -1.4 dB Q 1.500Filter 7: ON PK Fc 6700 Hz Gain 4.6 dB Q 2.000Filter 8: ON PK Fc 8100 Hz Gain -6.8 dB Q 2.000Filter 9: ON PK Fc 10000 Hz Gain 9.8 dB Q 2.000Filter 10: ON PK Fc 15000 Hz Gain -2.4 dB Q 0.500-You can copy the lines above to your notepad and then save and import them onto Peace.Cons: The one and only annoying factor regarding the Zeroes is that the wire could’ve been better. I like iem cables to sit snug behind my ear but the Zero’s cable does tend to get loose and come to the edge of my ears or fall off to the side completely. I am looking into some aftermarket cables from Tripowin C8 to deal with this issue.

Great for selective games compared to much more expensive headphones

I have less experience with audio gear, and I am no audiophile, so this won't be a very technical review, and it will be a more gamer-centric one. I own a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770s, Senheisser 599SE, Corsair HS80 Wireless, HyperX 2014, and I've tried the Arias.To begin with, IEMs sound too different compared to headphones. These definitely lack bass compared to them, but are much sharper and cleaner-sounding.The Truthear costing just Rs.4500, sound much cleaner than all my headphones I've mentioned above. And while the Zeros are supposed to be bassy according to reviews, I guess it is only so, relative to other IEMs (at least so is my guess, because the only other IEMs I've tried is the Arias). And yes, I've made sure my ears are sealed properly because my ... MoreI have less experience with audio gear, and I am no audiophile, so this won't be a very technical review, and it will be a more gamer-centric one.

And while the Zeros are supposed to be bassy according to reviews, I guess it is only so, relative to other IEMs (at least so is my guess, because the only other IEMs I've tried is the Arias). And yes, I've made sure my ears are sealed properly because my ears feel plugged and I can't hear external air blowing in. Don't get me wrong, I can still feel the bass, it's just not as heavy as any of the above-mentioned headphones. But as you may put it, it's a much more cleaner bass that doesn't muddy other sounds.Zeros vs the Arias: I don't know why, but to me, these sound way, way better than the Arias to the point where I feel the Arias were defective. It definitely has more bass than the Arias, and a better soundstage. While I immediately returned the Arias, I had no such thought when I tried these on for the first time, and not sure if it's the burn-in, but I feel the Zeros have only grown on me since. Also, the Arias got uncomfortably sharp on occassions for my taste.Zeros vs Headphones for gaming - just because of the nature of how they are built, I guess I still prefer headphones for something like racing where the engine sounds sound better on the ears being extra-warm - I'd take even the HyperXs over these if you only play racing games.I know this is very subjective, but I feel for SINGLE-PLAYER games with a lot of explosions (COD for example), I would still prefer the bassy more expensive headphones over the Zeros, simply because I feel bass is too important for such games, even if it comes at the cost of a few details. But the Zeros may simply be better for multiplayer gaming overall because of how much more detailed it sounds, while still not being uncomfortably sharp in the ears like how the Arias were to me.But for indie games, where there's just music playing in the background, I think these are perfect, and I do feel IEMs in general are more comfortable than headphones. Don't get me wrong, I still think these are fine for AAA gaming against similarly priced headphones like the HyperX or even the Corsair HS80 wireless for something that's not racing, but I personally prefer using the DT770s for some boomy single-player experiences.But the fact that I'm debating wearing these vs the DT770s which are thrice as more expensive, is a testament to how great the Zeros are. But let me clarify - it is not because I feel these are EQUAL to the DT770s, but simply because I feel these two have different strengths, hence better suited for different kinds of games. How would I rate it compared to the similarly priced HyperXs? I think this beats the HyperXs overall.I've seen a few reviews talking about the Zeros fit and comfort - these felt fine for me. I also have two differently sized ear canals. My right ear canal is large while my left is small, so I had to use different IEM tips for each ear - You have a lot of eartip options in the box - new IEM users - please note the seal in your ears make a HUGE difference to your listening experience.Value for money is very good.

Underwhelming

First off, this review is coming from someone who is a noob when it comes to being an audiophile.I've used Tin T2 before and they worked great for 3-4 years but finally died a couple months back so i was on the lookout for a new IEM. Wanted a bit more bass this time round so finally zeroed in on HBB Khan and Truthear Zero.Chose the Zeros cause of all the rave reviews and maybe I was expecting a lot from these. I don't use any DACs or fancy equipment to drive the Zeros. Just used them through my Pixel and Redmi smartphones and through my HP laptop. Maybe these require something more powerfull to unleash their true potential but out of your everyday devices they sound quite ordinary. I had doubts regarding the same so I called up Headphonezone and had a chat with ... MoreFirst off, this review is coming from someone who is a noob when it comes to being an audiophile.I've used Tin T2 before and they worked great for 3-4 years but finally died a couple months back so i was on the lookout for a new IEM.

I had doubts regarding the same so I called up Headphonezone and had a chat with one of their headphone gurus who assured me that these would be easily driven through my phones. I wish that was true. I have to keep the volume of my phone maxed up just to make these audible.The bass is better than my T2s but that's not something to boast about.The fit of these are comfortable for me as I have big ear canals. But I can see other people having problems with fit due to the large nozzle as even I felt uncomfortable after an hours usage.Wish I had chosen the Khans over these and saved myself some money.
