The Red offers a balanced, sophisticated frequency response at a budget price. Detailed and non-fatiguing, with a satisfying bass that doesn't interfere with the rest of the mix. A/B'ing with my other sets quickly reveal tuning shortcomings of the other gear. For example, my daily driver is the Blessing 3, and putting them on immediately after a session with the Red makes them sound thin and shouty. I wish I could get this quality of tuning with slightly updated technicalities, as those are still very much what you'd expect at this price point. Thanks to the tuning, they are still an enjoyable listen for those who have access to nicer stuff. Instead of EQ'ing your music to sound more "exciting", they get out of the way, and let the quality of the recording speak for ... MoreThe Red offers a balanced, sophisticated frequency response at a budget price.

Putting them in context of price, I give these a solid 5. Highly recommended if you enjoy a natural, relaxing presentation

Just got these in today. Not some music guru, just a casual listener and I personally like this set of IEMs. I'm listening on my pc with the iFi Zen DAC V2 (bass boosting off). I'm using the included wires and bass boosting adapter along with a random 6.4mm adapter I found laying around. No EQing done. Music I'm listening to sound pretty good. En aften ved svanefossen - Tristan01: Literally just a chill listen; Can pick out the different instruments used. 天使にふれたよ! - Ho-Kago Tea Time: The drums and guitar never sounded better here Never Gonna Let You Go - Sergio Mendes: The male and female vocals complement each other well here Glimpse of Us - Joji: Can pick out all the different sounds used. Lows and highs don't sound muddied. Spirits of the Sea - Kenshi Yonezu: For ... MoreJust got these in today.

Lows and highs don't sound muddied. Spirits of the Sea - Kenshi Yonezu: For this one I turned on the bass boost of the DAC. The vocals are amazing and the buds carry the bass HARD with the sub woofer. lilac slumber - Annabel: I don't know why, but everything sounds damp and muddy to me now. Iron Feather - RADWIMPS: Strings now sound off. Sounds even weirder when the drums come in (other than the cymbals) but since the drum set in a different song sound good to me I might attribute it to the mixing in the song itself. ETC: I'm enjoying the listening experience whether it be rock, classical, EDM, house, pop, or even some grown man yelling into a microphone on a podcast. General good experience using the IEMs TL;DR: IEM good

Digitalization levels, sound stage, and tonality are close to $500-800 headsets with minor adjustments! If you are using an impedance adapter, go -3dB, it is truly unleashing its full potential! In comparison with Aria Snow Edition, it has a way more detailed bass, it is not so much analytical and goes into the warm side. Even while using the impedance adapter on both, with Aria SE it still feels like sitting in the studio, while with Zero:Red it gives that live concert feeling! The stylish look and nice-to-touch material implementation in addition to the rich sound make this model a no-brainer and must-have nowadays. BTW, competitive gaming such as Valorant is good too with a slight adjustment for the bass -8dB and increasing 4.5-5kHz +6dB for footsteps. Devil in ... MoreDigitalization levels, sound stage, and tonality are close to $500-800 headsets with minor adjustments!

Amazing iem for the price

It's my first IEM and I'm really enjoying it.I was spectical about buying this one or the truthear x crinacle zero coz from many reviews I've seen that the part where the eartips go its too big than usual size and it's uncomfortable for many people. Usually I use medium size ones one every earphones so I used the smallest tip for this one to use. And thankfully it fits me perfectly and it's quite comfortable for me.Most type of songs sounds so good in this. I don't know how to explain those technical terms but to my ears most music sounds so good. There are enough loud too. I didn't have to use more than 50% of volume. I noticed there are few types of songs where the bass lacks. I guess for heavy bass type of music these don't have enough bass. It's not that these ... MoreIt's my first IEM and I'm really enjoying it.I was spectical about buying this one or the truthear x crinacle zero coz from many reviews I've seen that the part where the eartips go its too big than usual size and it's uncomfortable for many people.

It's not that these don't have good bass It's just I don't know how to explain, like in some music there is certain type of bass that feels lacking in there. For example I listened to Hey Mama from David guetta and We own it from fast and furious, these two songs did not sound that good to me in these. But for most of the songs these sound really good. An amazing choice for your first IEM.

Blew me away !

Before I begin, ill share that please drive them with a portable DAC as i felt they thrive better when they have enough power to drive them. They felt a bit low on volume when driven directly from a phone. Back to the quick review. These are great for thrash metal, doom, and rock in general. Vocals are clean and not washed out. I felt the separation and resolution of the instruments was definitely praise worthy. The shape fits the ears better for me but I felt it was a tad-bit heavy for me. Nonetheless, the performance is top notch along with the overall build quality. Must buy ! I was happy with the added boost adapter but I didn't feel the need as the bass was plenty enough for my tastes.

I'm loving these so far! Pretty crisp and "balanced"

So first things first, I have absolutely no clue about the technical stuff when it comes to earphones or headphones or IEMs. I don't even know how IEMs are different from earphones 😅So with that out of the way, I'm loving the way these sound so far. My options were truthear hexa, Moondrop Aria, and these. Hexas, I was told, lack the umph in the lower frequencies and I do enjoy some bass, and both the Hexas, and the Arias were out of stock, so I got these. And I don't regret getting these.I still think the bass is a bit on the lower side, and I didn't notice a significant difference with the impedance plug included in the box. Nothing poweramp EQ cannot fix, though. With my current EQ settings, the sound is crisp, the bass is punchy and the treble is clean ... MoreSo first things first, I have absolutely no clue about the technical stuff when it comes to earphones or headphones or IEMs. I don't even know how IEMs are different from earphones 😅So with that out of the way, I'm loving the way these sound so far.

Nothing poweramp EQ cannot fix, though. With my current EQ settings, the sound is crisp, the bass is punchy and the treble is clean without being shrill. I got these as a replacement for my galaxy buds 2 pro when their batteries inevitably die, and I gotta say, I kinda like these more that the buds 2 pro in come cases. Buds 2 pro are punchy, and the bass is a bit more exciting, but the Zero: reds are just crisper with the right EQ settings.The build quality feels good, with no creaking and croaking, and the cables feel nice and sturdy too. The carrying case is a disappointment, but it's not a deal breaker. Comes with an enormous amount of tips, including foam ones, and the packaging is quite good, too. For 5k, I think this Is a hell of a deal, no doubt about it.

Just get it if you can. VOCALS !

Damn.Whatever they did with drivers and crossover just hits the right spot. I hear the bass frequencies, vocal, and sharp, shiny instruments in 3 different layers.They look great. Lightweight. Just one thing might be a drawback, the nozzle is quite big. So just check for that before getting it.Requires some power, and scales great with power. I used it with Asus 6Z, Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 lite, Fiio BTR5, and Fiio K7.One last thing, just get it and try it for a few weeks. You will love it.Only specifically heavy base head listeners may skip it. Base quality is awesome, quantity is just as much the music maker intented.

Soundelicious

What a stunning pair of IEMs! The first thing I love about them is the outstandingly crafted design, which is quite impressive for its price range in my opinion. This is my upgrade from the BLON BL-03, which was actually too bright-sounding for my taste. After a lot of research and with the help of my friend, I found this pair. These are very well-balanced IEMs with a slight lean towards warmer tones. With the included impedance adapter, we can get a little boost in the bass region, although it also affects the low mid region with minor muddiness. The highs are very clear and rounded, providing an enjoyable and immersive musical experience. Zero: Red is doing fabulous work across the entire frequency spectrum. Technically speaking, the sound is very organic and ... MoreWhat a stunning pair of IEMs!

Truthear x Crinacle - ZERO:RED

At first I was sceptical about the zeros, since I had the galaxy buds 2 and they are a very good and neutral sounding pair of tws (also had the Trurthear hola and kz edx pro which honestly did not sound that good as compared to the galaxy buds 2)....but after getting my hands on the zeros, I can definitely state that these are way better than any premium tws which will cost way more than these.I was also confused whether bumping the extra 3k from all those 2k ranged iems (Chu2, Salnotes zero, Truthear hola) will be worth or not. (Spoiler Alert: absolutely worth the extra spend).Cons (if I have to nitpick):1) These have longer nozzles so it might get uncomfortable after an hour or so.2) The cables before the separator tangles a bit.From sound perspective, ... MoreAt first I was sceptical about the zeros, since I had the galaxy buds 2 and they are a very good and neutral sounding pair of tws (also had the Trurthear hola and kz edx pro which honestly did not sound that good as compared to the galaxy buds 2)....but after getting my hands on the zeros, I can definitely state that these are way better than any premium tws which will cost way more than these.I was also confused whether bumping the extra 3k from all those 2k ranged iems (Chu2, Salnotes zero, Truthear hola) will be worth or not.
