    I agreed with everything you just said !! I use iems in my recording studio and engineering live acts. These have become my budget “all rounders “ for opening bands and local acts. Everyone who has used these loves them.
    I’d like to give a little info on the 03s; the nozzle isn’t just shorter, it’s smaller in diameter. I see many people online modding these with O rings and then using the Comply 500 series tips, which fit all the Moondrop, 7HZ etc. I spoke with Scott at Comply, and here is his answer. The 500 series will go on the tips but you can rotate them if you hold the tip and rotate the iem; this is why so many fit issues. Any tips that size will stay put in your ears but the iem can rotate on the nozzle, in other words move.
    The proper tips are the Comply Series 200 isolating foam tips, or anything with that smaller bore hole. The 200 gives a great seal, fits perfectly, and you cannot rotate that iem at all. So there are two places for a great seal, the tip within your ear and the iem on the nozzle. Once this happens they Do Not move, the bass is great and everyone loves it. If you hold the Zero and the 03 nozzle side by side it’s evident.
    One thing that might be a great help; on Comply.com they have a list of every iem and they update weekly. It will tell you the exact one to buy for whatever iem you have. It’s great.
    So if you take the stock tips off the 03s, you need to get smaller bore tips than the Zero, Chu etc. I use the 500 series on all of those. Great reviews, thanks, Sonny T

    Got the Salnotes Zero (same color as yours) last month along with the Tanchjim Zero. Excellent IEM for what I paid for. Your impressions are accurate to what I experienced, David.

  • @hlway40
    @hlway40 2 года назад +22

    Mine has arrived and I've been using Zero for nearly 3 days straight and I must say I'm impressed by the sound quality. The sound is just really balanced and never feels lacking in any area for me. The bass is also enough in quantity while being punchy and fast when it's asked for whether it's for EDM or Metalcore. The mid while not being ultra-clear (obviously), it sounds natural and there's this lift in upper-mid region imo, so the thing like female vocal will sound more forward although it's not that intimate enough for me. The treble is airy enough and quite detail, you can occasionally hear that cymbals or sparkle, and more importantly it never feels harsh in my ears.
    I don't understand about some reviews that say the bass quantity is lacking.. like, how Blon BL03's will be then for my ears? Lol. Overall, Zero imo has that kind of balance sound..maybe a bit warm to my ears. Really a good sounding stuff that's suitable for all genres.
    A great conclusion is you can just bring these IEMs wherever you go and you won't worry about anything.

      @@ajsalvlk I personally wouldn't say it's straight-up upgrade though. BL03 sounds fuller and have thicker bass and mid but also is slower than Salnotes Zero. If you have a lot of slow, ballad, EDM or acoustic songs I would say BL03 suits you better - or if you just want warmer sound overall. I think Salnotes Zero will be more suitable for a lot of genres.

    Appreciate the comparison with the good ol' 03, as they're still my daily drivers to this day. Seems like they'd be complimentary with the Zero rather than a direct competitor since they're tuned quite differently, and I'd imagine the pair would make for a pretty great combo of a budget collection.

    I actually like the cables in a weird way because they don’t tangle like Truthear twisted cables. I don’t like the cables because they don’t have a square end, and don’t fit Truthears. I usually just buy 8 core or 16 core true braided cables because they’re tangle resistant.

    The 7Hz Salnotes Zero (Mecha edition in my case) are my first ever venture into the IEM arena. OMG are these a mixed bag of headphones (or earphones? IDK precisely, someone help me.) I've ever had. Got them in '23 and the audio quality is as amazing as you get your audio on the source. By that, what I mean is that these are the headphones that leave most of the mid-budget TWC eating dust and mud. If you are an Apple Music ahem...UNPARLIAMENTARY B-WORD then woof woof, you'll love what Lossless and Lossless Hi-res sounds like and can probably blow your mind away. If you're a Spotify ahem...ahem... (like me), you'll still notice the difference; the way treble and bass feel like giving your ears a kiss is what defines that feeling.
    The only thing that's an almost bummer is the cable. It's good, it's stupid, it's light and it's scary transparent and not as reassuring as a braided, break-free cord can be.
    And ooh, listen to them ASMR NSFW audios on these because mama, woof woof and meow meow.

      @@PrimeAudioReviews update on the situation
      Due to the ongoing 11:11 sale I got it for $13 which is still a considerable (but managable) sum when converted to the currency of my country
      (Also theres a 12% tax for spending money outside the country and further taxes at customs sometimes so I hope the price won’t get out of hand)
      Also managed to snag the Fiio BTR5 2021 edition using all of my budget for $85 to which the same problems of taxes apply (also got a balanced 2.5 mm cable)
      So that will be my daily driver setup.
      I also have some M40x ‘s that i’ve been using for years now (which was the first thing I bought audio wise after getting into this hobby) and I was constantly blow away by how much more detail I could hear in the songs i’ve listened to my whole life.
      So this was a much needed upgrade and sidegrade (needed some good IEMs since I travel a lot now and can’t bring my m40s everywhere)
      Really appreciate your professional and straight to the point reviews made my decision making a hell if a lot easier.
      Will be updating this comment once again once I get all the gear and test it

    SADLY, I have to give up on this iem as my ears (cartilage part) really hurt a lot when using this for long periods of time unlike my previous one where I can use them for a whole day. I bought this for Valorant and it has a GREAT imaging. Maybe it's the shape that causes pain to my ears.

    Very nice review! I'm interested to try these out. I currently own the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 earbuds, but have been considering going to IEM's for better sound quality with my music. Would you say these 20 dollar IEM's sound better than 200 dollar true wireless earbuds or should I consider spending a bit more than 20 dollars for a better sound?

    • @PrimeAudioReviews
      @PrimeAudioReviews  Год назад +1

      I'd say you should try a couple of cheap IEMs to get an idea of what sound signature you like before you start spending more.

    I'm planning to buy this to replace the headphones that I use on my PC. Most of the time, I play PC games and I also listen to music. I'm not gonna do any heavy audio activities. I have several questions since this is the first IEM that I'll be buying and I hope that you can help me out.
    1. Can I/Should I just plug it in my motherboard then use my computer normally or do I have to buy other audio stuff to get the most out of it? I'm asking this because I have seen videos talking about DAC, amp, audio interface, etc. but I don't really know what they do and if they are going to benefit me as a casual user.
    2. Do I need to download a software or change any settings in my PC that would "enhance" the quality of this IEM.
    3. I haven't seen any reviews about the durability of this product. I have owned many earphones before and they all used to work fine until only one side is functioning. I'm not sure if this is also a common issue in IEM. If this IEM runs into this problem, can I simply buy a replacement cable to fix this issue?
    4. If I'm gonna use a cable extender to connect it to my PC, will there be some losses in terms of audio quality?
    Thank you very much for your time and attention. Any suggestions and external links regarding my questions are very much appreciated.

    • @PrimeAudioReviews
      @PrimeAudioReviews  2 года назад +1

      Just plug it in and it will be fine. You don't need any software. The cable extension won't deteriorate the sound. If it stops working later on you can buy a new cable or just buy a new iem - they cost around the same.
