Fanmusic TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero Earphone Dual Dynamic Drivers in-Ear Earphone with 0.78 2Pin Cable Earbuds (Zero)

These are incredible IEMs and an unbelievable value at $50. There are a few things worth noting that keep them from perfection, but still worthy of a 5/5. TLDR - the positive reviews are accurate, try the different included tips, and the Zero's may be a little harder to power than other IEMs.With the right tips, the stock sound very closely mirrors the harman target, which to oversimplify, is tuned for listening enjoyability with more bass rather than a strictly flat response. For sound, I'm pretty much indifferent on whether I use the Zero's or my $300 Massdrop Plus IEM.The overall look and feel is likewise impressive, regardless of the value. The same extends to the tips, which have multiple sizes and bore widths.It is important to try the different tips - I started with the small bore as I expected it to be more comfortable, and the sound was overwhelmingly bass heavy and sounded compressed/distorted. Switching to the large bore, they were equally comfortable, and the sound was balanced to the target as expected.Another thing worth noting is that these require a little more power than I expected to get to sufficient volume levels. They get loud enough out of my phone's headphone jack, but I am near max volume level. Lower power sources might need amplification. They might also be a little sensitive to output impedance, although they are at 10 ohms - I have noticed they sound better and have plenty of power out of my THX 789 with it's -10db gain on the single ended output which has <0.05 output impedance than on my phone with an estimated 2 ohms impedance. I believe a source would ideally have at most 1.25 ohms output impedance, but that is a guideline and I have not done other tests. Regardless, they still sound great out of the phone, just a bit better out of a nearly ideal amplifier.The stock cable is fine. It feels nice and has memory wire for the ear loops. There is no mic. The right angle plug is a problem with some phone cases because it is quite large. The IEM-side connectors are thankfully non-proprietary, so for $10-20 a new cable could overcome these faults.The body of the IEM is fine. It looks great but is a little larger than I would prefer. The connectors are a little large on it as well.Overall, the sound quality and value is unmatched, and these minor issues shouldn't be enough to discourage a near-universal buy recommendation at $50.

Hi!I would consider myself an average consumer (***I AM NOT AN AUDIOPHILE***), but I am hoping you can relate to my review, because it can be difficult to find if a product fits your needs based on reviews.For starters, I bought these for gaming, as they were recommended one of my favorite streamers on Twitch, Repullze. I was skeptical, because I grew up hearing the headphones were the only things good for gaming, so this was something new to me.For reference, I play games like Modern Warfare 2/Warzone, R6 Siege, Fortnite, Apex, Destiny 2, and a few more games, but typically shooter games. With the release of WZ2, I was on the quest to find new headphones, because the audio in the game is very poor compared to WZ1.I first, bought PC38x and didn't love them. Audiophiles seemed to think they were great gaming headphones, but I was not a fan of the sound signature.Next, I bought the DT 990 Pro 250 ohms and I really enjoyed them! They were incredibly comfortable. Unnoticeable clamping pressure. I was able to game for hours without any pain (I wear glasses and it still did not affect me.)I was ready to settle for the DT 990 Pro after I bought a Topping Dx3 Pro+ DAC/Headphone Amp, because I feel it boosted the sound to another level. However, as I mentioned I wanted to try Repullze's recommendation.Pros (this is with consideration of using my Topping Dx3 Pro+ DAC/AMP on high gain) :* Incredible sound signature* able to hear footsteps very clearly* very good imaging (imagine the one scene in Batman: The Dark Knight where Morgan Freeman is telling Batman where the guys are at from the computer. Thats essentially a visual representation of imaging.* very good directional cues (whether the footsteps are above me, below me, behind me, etc.* great for music on all genres (again with consideration of using a dac/amp* great for asmr (I tend to watch asmr videos to fall asleep and these allow the triggers to *tingle*Cons -* NOT the comfiest out of the box. The ear tips that come with the package are uncomfortable for me. I would say I have smaller ear ?holes?. I was recommended to pair these IEMS with "SpinFit CP155 for Wide and Long IEM Nozzle" on amazon for $11.49 (as of12/20/22) and they are amazing. You want to find the perfect size for your ears, because too big will obviously cause ear fatigue if you are an avid gamer and too small will change the sound of the IEMs making it seem muddy. I found that the SpinFit was able to fit perfectly in my ear and I have not yet experienced ear fatigue.Thank you for reading my review!If you have anymore questions feel free to reach out!@Fohreign on Twitter & Twitch
