    @thesonnytackettshow7949 2 года назад +26

    I picked the Zero and the Chu immediately and on every song after that. But I use both frequently as iems for bands and it was easy for me. If you use Comply series 500 foam isolating tips, the Chus bass will become fuller and that high mid peak gets tamed perfectly. I keep a dozen each in stock . We can’t use any tips onstage that bleed so we need the 85db of isolation, and everyone I’ve ever used them with wants to buy them. I highly recommend the 03 for bass players and drummers, etc!! Once again, Comply tips. Series 200 for the 03s.
    Just a question, but what are you using to switch iems, a multi headphone amp or on an app? Just curious!! Thanks, Sonny T

The BLON 03 is also awesome with Dekoni Mercury foam tips, we are switching to Dekoni foam tips on most of our iems. They last longer and feel better than the Comply’s. We’re also trying the new Velvet tips and Tangzu’s new tips. I advise tip Rolling on everything so we experiment! Hope you find your sound!!

    Listening with EQ'd HD800s, they all sound like shouty in the mids except the ZSN, but that's probably just your rig. I'm still picking up 2 pairs of the Zero. One to stay with the Steam Deck, and the other as a white elephant gift for a Christmas party. I don't see the point of IEM's when they cost as much as proper headphones and never sound good. But I love good cheap ones for pocketability, and not worrying about them being ruined.

    Hi Z! Dang! That intro always gets me! It's as if Freddy suddenly booty shakes after chasing the girls away! Haha!
    One question... Are these iems in the video EQ responsive or will they distort on some areas? I'm asking this because i wanna try other iems in these price range. I'm coming from a KZ ZSN Pro X. I know that it is V shaped but I always play with my EQ so i may get the tuning that i want. The ZSN Pro X is very loud and doesn't distort while I play with the EQ. I can say im good with it. Because of the EQ. But still I want to try something new. Hence, my question. Or should i go up the price range?

  • @rogerx9298
    @rogerx9298 2 года назад +2

    - ZSN Pro X -- Too v-shaped for me, treble sounds tinny and vocals/mids has lost its body.
    - CRN vs Lea -- Very close. Lea has slightly less bass than CRN, thus making the vocals and mid-centric instruments more focused.
    - Zero vs CRN -- Also close. CRN has slightly more pronounced "s" and "t" than Zero, and maybe sub-bass (?). Not sure about the bass but price difference makes Zero better bang for buck.
    - Chu vs Zero -- Chu has thicker mid-bass and mids than Zero, and vocals more forward. Hard to decide between these two.
    I listened using iBasso DC05 dac + Fiio FH3 iem, which is a warm/bassy set, so it might emphasize some freqs.
    I can see the hype around Zero and Chu being both cheaper than CRN and Lea.

If you're listening to this video on your phone, then what you're hearing is the sound from your phone's speakers and not from the IEM themselves. So how can you tell which IEM is better? To be able to determine that, you have to use each IEM personally. Am I missing something?

    I have the ZSN Pro X and it sounds very different from this recording. For me, it was a big disappointment when I bought it, but a long burn-in has improved it a lot so some of its qualities are much more evident. But it is still too harsh and "in your face", which makes it fatiguing. I have ordered some Zeros which I hope would be more to my liking.
    All the recordings sound very bad to me so it's clear why recording IEMs is close to pointless as the sound you hear most likely is very far from the real thing, the result being much more misleading than informative.
    And yes, I use decent quality headphones when listening to this (Much better than the ZSN Pro X).
