    I'd disagree with Chu bringing nothing to the table - it is still a great way to try out spring tips on the cheap, especially since you get all 3 sizes and they're smaller than regular, so blind buying those can be tricky. All while still getting a greatly-tuned IEM on top of it to add to collection.

      @@daniel6242 because when buying spring tips separately, you only get 3 pairs of one size - good luck figuring out which one you need without trying them first. And Chu gives you all sizes except for XL, hence why I think it's worth it even if paying slightly more, not to mention that the iem itself is still really good.

    I'm surprised at how disappointing the HBB Khan was to me. I was expecting it to sound better than the previous QKZ collab since it's newer and priced more.
    I was very excited to get it since HBB did say that it was a very easy IEM to drive, no DACs needed which was a good plus for me. Unfortunately, it was not the case with my pair. I'm not sure if it was defective or not.
    The whole sound was very dark and dull for me. The only good thing about it was the bass. I love how it wasn't muddy and still packed enough punch and was quite smooth. The midrange felt a bit recessed. The treble did feel tame though which was also a plus for me.
    But my main problem with it was how low the volume was.
    It was two or three clicks lower than the Wan'Er. I always had to put the volume at 70% just to enjoy the same quality that I could enjoy with the Wan'Er at 40%. Heck, even with the 7HZ Zero I only use 50% at most with it. It's just a tad louder than the Quarks (both the OG and the DSP).
    But all of these were remedied when I used a cheap USB-DAC. The midrange was what changed the most. It wasn't as recessed. Everything felt more clear and the overall sound-quality didn't sound as muddy and dark as it did without the DAC.
    I wouldn't say it's a blind buy for me though I would definitely put it on the niche category. I feel like the Cadenza did things better and that's without a DAC. But I can see how it would be praised by other people. I would still choose the original QKZ collab than the Khan though.

    I ordered the wan'er and khan a couple of days ago. I've got the Aria at the moment and generally like the tuning and detail, but in rock/metal it sounds kind of muddy and grainy, especially guitars and vocals.

    I have the BL03, 7hz Zero, Quarks DSP and Aria
    If i will rank them i say 7hz is the Blind buy, Aria and Quarks DSP on Worth the Demo and ofc nothing on BL 03
    7hz Zero has very good female vocals which is my taste but it's not very exciting because of how neutral the sub bass and mid bass is.
    Aria is the most interesting tuning here it has good mid bass it makes everything more engaging but the female vocals are recessed compared to 7hz zero, also it's quite expensive from what you're getting.
    For Quarks DSP... tbh i don't like the sub and mid bass, it's too much! for female vocals i have to boost the volume up in the point bass is too loud just to make the female vocals shine. Also it has poor clarity maybe because of the noise floor.
    BL03 should be good but the clarity is very bad and it got a lot of mud too, vocals are bad in certain recordings.

    My main IEM was Starfield and recently I've bought PR1 Pro just to try out the cheapest planar I could find (it costed around 80 bucks). Got a tiny bit of WOW factor while listening to them for several weeks, because of decent treble extension and overall neutral tuning with good speed characteristics and instrument separation, also nice soundstage. From my experience it beats Starfield in details but only by a small margin, in other aspects they sound kinda on the same level as for me. But I also found out that I don't really fully like the way the planar driver sounds. It kinda seats in the middle between a dynamic driver and a balanced armature. I also possess some hybrid IEMs - ZS10 Pro and NeoBuds Pro (it's a TWS actually) - that have balanced armatures in addition to dynamic drivers. I really don't fancy how vocals sound from the balanced armatures and planar drivers, they come across kinda thin and sibilant in nuances for my taste. So I'd rather stick to dynamic driver IEMs, even though in budget range they usually provide less details than BAs and planars, but the sound feels like more natural, melodic, live and relaxed to me.
    Thanks for the video. I think I'm gonna try out Quarks DSP next, really looking for some ultra-compact earbuds with mic that don't have an over-ear fit, but a standard one.

      If vocals are not good than generally the set is also not good as instruments share similar fundamental and harmonic range as vocals. If vocal timbre is bad than instrument timbre will also be bad.

    Seeking for experts advice.
    Not an audio expert. Need recommendation for my first IEM. I’m neither planning to get budget bass heavy punchy deep low frequency pronounced tuning IEM’s + airpods pro2 or potentially replace AP2 for pricey quality IEM’s that has jbl type of bass but more pronounced in lower freq ranging 32hz. and yees I’m a basshead. I’m not sure if someone here has owned the OG Sounpeats Sonic. That type of Bass is what I’m looking for. Thanks!

    NIce job Timmy, this old set of ears mostly agrees with you except for a couple of things. One is in regard to the Chu which (after resolving the sibilance issue with bigger tips/better seal) I still like a lot, more than the 7Hz Zero actually. The other one is about the Quarks DSP, the tuning may be good but the lack of any technical ability whatsoever is ..overwhelming. Yes, 12 bucks, I know, but still.

    so... i bought the 7h zero 2, the cca cra and the wan er...
    Out of the three the cra i think i will never part with. fits great, sounds great.
    The zero sounds nicer than the 3 at least to me, but i got issues with the fit (thats a me problem but could help ppl with fit issues comparatively to the other 2 iems).
    The wan er i seriously consider passing to someone or sending back, good fit and light. The smell of cheap plastic form the cable just won't go away (i know, can be replaced) and the real issue, they are fatiguing after a few mins of use to the point of feeling really uncomfortable. Its the 1st time get this experience from any headphone/earphone/iem. Not recomended

    This might be a stupid question.
    I currently use the DT770 (80 ohms) for gaming. But when wearing for long sessions, it gets really uncomfortable. It's heavy, my ears sweat, I get itchy ears and the clamping force causes headaches. I would like to replace it with an IEM. The only purpose is for gaming (Counterstrike). Is the Truthear-Crinacle Zero a good choice? I mean, is the sound comparable to the DT770 when it comes to hearing footstep or hearing small details like someone pulling the pin on a grenade?
