    For those wondering about the measurements, check the thread in the description to see how the Zero Red changes with different tips. The wide opening silicone and foam tips seem to give a bit more mid treble, but less upper treble.

    Also, props to Crinacle for asking actually good questions, too many people these days would have just talked shit on the internet, and expected things to change.

  • @dogratco
    @dogratco Год назад +60

    I'm one of those old guys who has been listening to quality sound for 50 years. My hearing was tested in an anechoic chamber by a PhD audiologist from Tufts University, who says it is still excellent. The test only goes to 8 kHz, however, with informal online testing indicating I'm still good up to 12.8 kHz, just over the top FM radio frequency, with my right ear being not quite as good as my left ear. My interest in IEMs is, I admit, recent and casual. The first thing I realized is that finding the right tip is everything.
    With that said, my preference is for the Truthear Zero BLUE, perhaps because it's more "exciting" to my old ears than the Zero RED. Crinacle's tuning of the RED sounds like any number of good headphones I've owned, or have heard, over the years. There's nothing new about his preferred sound signature, but having it at this price point is amazing. The RED's resistor bass boost comes across like the old "loudness" button on amps and receivers that just muddied the sound. The sub-bass on the BLUE is very impressive.
    Update: After a break-in period -- meaning me, not the hardware -- the RED is excellent. Without the bass booster the overall balance really works. There's plenty of bass and only a small loss of sparkle in the cymbals compared to the BLUE. Both "flavors" are keepers.

      If I understand correctly, the adapter will change the sound of each IEM differently, and only if the IEM has multiple drivers with different impedances

    I agree with you on how important this is both for the audiophile purview of statistics and its general population meaning, but also due to the fact that so many can now also decide for themselves what direction, or signature they enjoy more and how it compares to one of the main reviewers out there. It's a good shift out of the subjective and abstract world of audio words and a more direct and objective opportunity to hear what you've heard about, while simultaneously having graphs and comparisons with the mainstream Harmon target.
    If I've learned anything on this journey, is what to look for to satisfy my preference. A more educated preference nowadays, which I had to pay for through trial and error :D
    Great video as usual Andrew!

      I think in 20 years people will look back at this as an absolutely ridiculous period where people will be laughing at now daft it was that people were buying so many pairs of IEMs & getting very little use out of most of them.
      Although it's fantastic that decent sound can be had for relative peanuts, there are far too many being released by each company - very typical to how the Chinese did with the whole vape thing 1-2 years ago which has thankfully died down immensely.

    I really like how the hifi industry is evolving.
    We're fighting for 2 or more very good tuning style in our little bubble
    Do you know what this means? These bickerings create a huge amount of attention and information.
    This is going to push the audio gear industry forward.
    Just 2 years ago we were praising a bloated and somewhat ok sounding IEM and now we can get the TOTL tunings at the bare minimum price point.
    I look forward for this industry to swell and increase in scale; this way the higher end components like Sonion EST drivers would get cheaper.
    Who knows? Maybe we can get product that costs 400 bucks but competitive even against the Monarch mk2 in 2 years down the road?

  • @chickenpie9698
    @chickenpie9698 Год назад +24

    I find the whole tuning thing really interesting at the moment personally. For a long time I've held the view that it's (obviously) subjective but more recently, I'm coming to the conclusion that it's also highly contextual. Obviously, we all have different tastes so different tunings will suit different people for that reason but I'm finding that it also depends on what you're using an audio product for too. I'm someone who has used IEMs for drumming for quite a few years no and up until recently have tended to go for relatively neutral sounding sets, if anything with a mild V-shape or bass boost. It's only been the past year that I've started venturing outside of that and while it's made a massive difference in terms of listening to music with more 'fun' tunings or being able to have rumbling bass for films/TV, I've also found that some tunings are also comically bad when I'm trying to hear my electronic drum kit in particular. I know that there are targets that are followed based on individual preferences but I wonder if different use cases are considered or not. I think it's worth noting as some people might not use an IEM for listening to music most of the time.

  • @grooved9523
    @grooved9523 Год назад +1

    @Bruno Martorella . Right, but it would still depends on the taste of people doing the blind test. The really interesting blind test that would be great is blind testing both and a perfect mastering room and find which one is closer to a perfect room with speakers. The closer would be the best, and it would be less based on taste than comparing both IEMs between themselves only.
    I bet it would be the Red because I already have the Blue and found that EQuing to Neutral with a boost on low frequencies to bring them between Neutral and Harman gives something closer to a good room with speakers than the full Harman tuning. Having several people confirming this would be great (I'm only talking about music listening, not video games)

    The problem I had with the original TruthEar zero was the "disconnected" bass; the sound just didn't seem to transition seamlessly from the bass driver.

    @divinecurrent9053 Год назад +17

    The issue with IEMs in general, it's completely different vs over ears because they bypass the ear pinna. It's impossible to predict the anatomy of each individual ear pinna and canal shape out there. If I recall, Axel Grell stated in one of his presentations that perceived frequency response for different individuals can differ by as much as 20 dB in certain areas, mostly the upper midrange and treble. For my ears and preferences, even Crinacle's target sounds way too forward around 4-6 kHz, so I need to EQ most "neutral" IEMs like the Kato down like 6 dB in that area. So I for sure would prefer the Red vs the original Zero.

    • @zorilla0
      @zorilla0 Год назад

      This would explain a lot. As someone who has tried the Truthear Zero: Red, I couldn't understand how something with a colossal spike at 4 kHz could be getting this much hype. To me, they sound cheap and screechy out of the box. I have to apply -12 dB of EQ specifically on that band to get them within the ballpark of any of my over ears, and even then, I question whether that is enough.
      They (and a lot of "Chi-Fi" IEMs) also have an abnormally large nozzle length and diameter, which also make these a non-starter for someone like me whose ear canals seem to be all sizes at once and has to rely on something with shallow insertion depth for anything with a semblance of comfort and fit.

It’s tuned so well, except for, maybe the bass can be tuned up a little bit more for those who like more bass.

    I wonder if you could take the zero and red variants and swap the blue and red backplates around so you(hopefully) don't know which one is which just by looking... I mean, "zero" is blue backed, while "zero: red" is red backed, and I wonder if swapping the colors would be some way to check for bias based on "expectations". I mean, if you expect the one to be "zero: red" because it has a red back plate, but it's REALLY the original zero, and they think it's the "zero: red" model in a supposedly "blind" test, wouldn't it suggest a bit of bias? Take my postulation with a grain of salt because I'm still looking into getting my first set of IEMs, and it's a tossup between the "zero" and "red" variant right now for me... One thing I've noticed on Amazon reviews of the original "zero" model, is that most people find it requires an amp/DAC addon or specifically built "hi-fi" media players with all that built-in. Whether that's SUPPOSED to be what happens or not IDK, but I'm betting that the reds probably won't have so many complaints along those lines if what my guess on what the 10ohm adapter is for, is somewhat close to correct. Basically since it pumps the bass up, I'm guessing that the higher bass will require a little more power to drive, if I'm not mistaken, although, I'll point you back to the fact that I'm an IEM n00b, nay, a n00b in audio in general, so the previous"grain of salt" comment still applies...

    I just got one, and a 7Hz, and as an audio professional i can say I'm about to return the Reds. The bass is sort of flabby, a little bloated, and the vocals are pushed back because of that presence area roll-off. I'll try it a couple days longer, but it's not making as happy as i imagined. The 7Hz Zero 2 is OTOH stunning and really helps me make better decisions.

    Hello andrew, i am a sound engineer and i bought the zero red because of you, from curiosity, and i realize that has the PERFECT frequency response for mixing and mastering!
    I wonder if you can suggest any openback headphones with the same or similar frequency response.
    I have the Akg k371 (again because of you😊) but the zero red sounds way much better.
    Thank you very much.

    Is there any IEM that comes close to the Fostex T50RP mk3? That's probably my favorite sounding headphone, I'm not what I'd call an audiophile, but the actual sound separation in those things was so ridiculous, I haven't found an IEM that really gives me that feeling -- where I can pull out an instrument from the noise and almost "grab" it, most everything else feels like the sounds kinda just blend together... Currently running 7hz Timeless and they're good, but not quite there, and I kinda hate the MMCX connector.

    As someone who has no long-standing reverence towards the Harman people, what I (shockingly) heard in that part of the interview was pretty much "yeah, we half-a##ed IE but slapped our name on it and shoved it into the world". Good that there are still people out there who're willing to challenge the larger forces even when they're so adjacent that it can directly hurt them.

      @@n0xt I'm saying that any institution - or individual - big enough to earn a name shouldn't be trusted blindly, nor treated religiously (as I've seen plenty around). With more reputation and age you get less critique, fewer people care (or dare) to double-check you, and you get into a positive feedback loop; meanwhile your words start defining opinions, and it's easy to become negligent, or be tempted to use this to your advantage. You can become the next Moondrop with poor QC and above-market prices, but people can still chose you blindly without looking into other options just because they recognize the name. And to avoid problematic situations like these, you need to hold large institutions to higher standards; you need vocal critique and parallel research - not reverence and blind trust.

    6:31 Unfortunately, the bass is _still_ disjointed; i.e., it's slow compared to the rest of the frequency spectrum. The Red's bass is much better than the Blue's, but it's still ponderous; I think the tuning's ok, but its the transient response of the bass driver/enclosure that, imo, leaves a lot to be desired.

    I can see why a neutral tune is important because we are looking to reproduce sound as natural as possible. On the flip side some music is intentionally accentuated on the highs and lows, therefore it would seem appropriate to have several IEM's for various music types, studio vs. live, etc.

    • @MrLolovert

      When having a neutral tune, the accentuation of the song should be represented perfectly actually. But yeah, you could even further push it in that direction or use your tactics to counter the accentuation if you don't like it.
