Gotta say, these sound real tempting as a bday gift for my roommate. He listens to rap, classic rock, and metal a lot, and a boosted low end sounds right up his alley. Had him try out the aria and hexa and he leaned more towards the aria but wished for more bass. This might be just the right fit for him.
@@bla_ank Maybe. If he doesn't like these I'll order some originals for him eventually as well. Or maybe an HBB collab or something. Those are known for typically being very bassy
I think Crin's idea here is that if possible you get both Zeros, compare and be more informed as to which target reference you prefer between the Harman and the IEF.
My personal take - Crin's rendition of IEF target sits about the Harman IE 2016v2. Meanwhile the tuning is more compatible on the Hexa, and the drivers of the Zero would be technically superior under the practice of Harman IE 2019v2.
You don't even really need to do that: You can EQ the original Zero to the Red's signature using the settings Crin describes in his Red video and make the comparisons that way. They're both nearly identical beyond distortion performance and sub to tweeter crossover, so it should be a pretty accurate representation.
I've been listening to a set I bought off Ali 2 months ago but didn't open. This is currently what I'd recommend to newcomers who have a budget of 50 bucks. Tone is very inoffensive with no real drawbacks other than one nitpick: Treble is not every extended. Stock cable sucks, it's something you'd expect on a 20 dollar IEM.
Hey Mark, thanks for a great review! Well done man. Love your channel. Ordered mine a while ago and still waiting. Good you gave the comparison to some of the iem's I already own so I know what to expect. Very grateful!
Seems my set will be here tomorrow, pretty stoked. They won't replace my other IEMS, but I like the idea of having the set. Zero 1 and Zero v2. The sub roll off in the zero 1 is one of my favorites. Should be fun to compare them to the Hexa as well.
@@roadtonever They are pretty great all things considered. Among my truthears I'll still pick my hexa over them just because I think the hexas are more resolving, particularly in the upper midrange. The tuning is probably my favorite at this price point that I have tried. They remind me a lot of my dusks as far as tuning goes. For whatever reason the original zeros feel a bit smoother in the sub bass region especially the deeper sub 50 Hz range. Haven't tried the reds with the impedence adapter yet, that should be fun. At this point I have the bulk of crins iems, definetly everything dusk or below. I'd say reds stack up quite well for value. Though if you gave me the choice of the blue zero, red zero, salnotes zero, or KZ Crinnacle Zero I'm taking the KZ. They have a weird sparkle in the upper treble I love and for my ears near perfect fitment. The shell on the KZ is my favorite IEM shell for comfort to date.
@@MrBookluck in truth neither. The hexas do a better job in the clarity department. Just cleaner more detailed sound on symbols and high hats and have more air about them in quieter tracks but I expect that given the balanced armatures. The dual dynamics in the reds can't quite get to that level. But the reds are smoother in the low end and have a response curve closer to the dusks. If moneys no object I'd go hexa but if you don't like balanced armatures, like the bass kick or want to save a bit the reds are quite good. If your using them as a benchmark to decide if you'll like the dusks tuning then I'd go with reds. Otherwise if your getting one set of earbuds I'm going hexa. I find myself picking my hexas out of the drawer far more often than I expected.
Before the Zero Red was released I did a lot of EQ to the Zero Blues to smooth out its harsh treble (I couldn't listen to it stock). The sound is nearly perfect and closer matches my home theater system now. Good stuff for $50.

Crinacle said he didn't want his collaborations to interfere with each other and $80 is way too close to $99 Dioko. So: 20$ -> 7hz Zero 50$ -> Truthear Zero 100$ -> 7hz Dioko There's just no space for 80$ IEM
Mark, I received my Zero Red 2 days ago. It’s lovely and boring. It goes in my kit for backup IEM when traveling as it’s quite comfortable and I get a good seal.

Gorgeous review, as always! The question is a bit off topic of the video, but it is very interesting to know your opinion about the Truthear Hexa and Juzear 41t. Which ones do you recommend? (Double price, but is the sound quality a multiple of 41t?). The frequency response is very similar, I want to try this tuning, but I don't know what to choose.
Best $50 i've ever spent. It blows the Hexa to pieces. It's just ridiculously good for what it costs and the tuning is amazing. Sure, might be a bit too bass heavy but it's tastefully done so.
I like these and driven with a headphone amp sounds even better. Good IEM for a band player who might want that bass boost. I would like to offer a suggestion. If you could actually show the Squiggle graphs more than hand movement, it could help describe the sound signature better. I know you intend well but hand movement doesn't offer me too much and makes me just want to listen to the video and not watch.
Sorry. Maybe someone can explain to me how I'm reading the frequency response wrong in Squiglink of the Hexa next to the Red. I bought the two and am listening to them side-by-side, and I read them the same way Mark does; the Red being more bass-forward. But the graphs show the Hexa at a higher dB from about upper-midrange 700kHz, all the way down. I couldn't decide what I wanted, so I sent out for the Aria, the Chu 2, the Zero: Red, and the Hexa. Aria lost immediately; too bass-heavy, muddy and painfully flairs out the bottoms of my ear (flaps?) to wedge them in there. Next out was the Chu 2; although they fit nice and had a nice, weighty-metal heft, they also had slightly too much bass and the cable was horrible for micro-vibrations that didn't stop at the ear-wraps (like I had hoped). Finally (and the most frustrating), the Hexa had to go. Hexa is my favorite of all of them for aesthetics, fit and comfort. I think clarity of vocals and separation of instruments are the most important aspects to me, and every time I switch to the Hexa, it felt hollow and muddy (in comparison). Not a horrible iem at all. Just didn't stack up against the Red in my ears. I would "cleanse the pallet" every so often by listening to the original Neraphones, which hits pretty close to my optimum sound signature. Again, I was really hoping that the Hexa would even just tie or come close to tieing with the Red, to justify the extra $25 with comfort. Oh well. In 5 years, the $50 earbuds will sound as good as the $500 stuff today. That's just how it goes. (adjusted for inflation, of course.)
I love my T2 Plus, but they have one fatal flaw for me: I can't get tips to stay on them. In terms of sound, they're pretty much perfect for me, especially their mild, but "high-quality" bass, and their timbre and microdetail retrieval. Should I get the Red?
@@miki890098 I tried the ePro horn tips but they also slid off. I pretty much just use my Galaxy Buds+ now if I'm using an IEM. I do miss wired and tried a bunch of different models (some expensive ones too) but eventually fell out of the game and stopped chasing the next set.

I don’t have a lot of experience with IEMs. I have the Etymotic ER3XR and love sound. Sometimes I just can’t handle the fit. I am looking for a sub $150 IEM that has a similar sound. I have watched a few reviews of the Zero Red and your description has me thinking at the price, I should try them. What are your thoughts? Also are you getting the x HBB Olina SE in? Those have my interest too. Thanks!
I think the closest match to ER3XR that matches your criteria is the Truthear Hexa, with the primary difference being the transition from lower midrange to bass. I don't have the 3XR graphed, but here's how those two IEMs compare with the 4XR, for reference: squig.link/?share=Super_22_Target,Truthear_Hexa,Truthear_Zero_Red,Etymotic_ER4XR Another to consider at just over your budget is the Juzear 41T, which I will be reviewing soon.
@@SuperReview first, thank you for the quick reply. Awesome!!! Second, after searching for the Juzear, what little I found, gives it awesome reviews except for quality control. Anxiously waiting for your review. Thank you again!!!! (At the price listed, if it is as good as I think it might be, seems like good value)
Hi, thx for the review, just wondering, can i drive those on my smartphone ? I mean are they easy to drive ? I have a old Samsung galaxy s8 and i'm wondering if i'll be abble to enjoy those iems completely just plugged into my phone.
It comes with 2x different sets of Large tips, I'd try those first. If they don't work, maybe Spinfit CP360s, but just know that ear tip fit is very personal.
Excellent review! I'm fairly new to IEMs. Do I really have to get a DAC in addition to the Zero Red ? Can I just plug them into my PC or android phone and get a really good sound ?
Have you tried render tips on them(zero red)? Zeos swears they make a godly difference but idk. Nice to see we have the same take on the hexa 😂. Absolutely adore them. My kato kinda jelous I use the hexa more probably
How does it compare to Dunu Titan S? Looking at the graphs about the same magnitude response, at the specs similar sensitivity but lower impedance. Is red basically a cheaper version for the same sound experience and yet consuming less power? Cheers!
I think you should compare it to the TRI Starriver. Not sure why that set isn’t talked about more. I really think it’s a magnificent iem at an incredible price.
This or the 7Hz Zero is good enough tbh. Haha And whatever is a similar neutral tune in the budget section. Kiwi Ears Cadenza, Moondrop Chu 2, 7Hz Zero 2, etc. generally you want flat mids with less bass bleed. ☺️
@@matsudakodo Nah, can't assume that an impedance adapter always equals more bass. Different headphone / IEM designs respond differently to additional impedance on the cable.
@SUNG JIN WOO salnotes zero isn't one of the best out of cheap IEM's for gaming. Truthear zero is better for gaming, over most in that price, even over the red. I've personally tried a lot of the cheaper and a few more expensive iems for gaming, as well as music. Kiwi ears cadenza is also another good budget iem for gaming. Hexa is great, if you prefer a flatter signature for gaming also. There are better, if you jump up in price but these serve very well
@@jinwoooooooooo I have them both and yeah I agree that the salnotes zeros do not perform as well in FPS. Original Truthear Zeros are great, havent tried Project Red myself. Only issue is the nozzle size.
What's in a graph? Hmmm some lines and a grid. Hopefully labels to help explain the X and Y axis. It would nice if it was in color. Honestly, most important thing is the pick the right graph type for the data.
LOL... I got this IEM for X-mas (one of the gifts to myself 🤐) ... they are great. Pretty smooth yet plenty detailed for everyday normal listening - very well balanced IMO. They fit really well and just disappear when listening to music - a lot of bang for the buck. I will be getting the Hexa next ... 🤷🏻

I have both now and the bass on the red is wayyyy better in terms of amount, extension and separation from the mids.
With the booster or without it?
it's the cleanest iem to play around with impedance adapters.

Basically should had been with Hexa not Zero, missed chance
Hexa Red would be awesome.
He should do that, however change the shell, the HEXA shell is very uncomfortable.
Crinacle said he didn't want his collaborations to interfere with each other and $80 is way too close to $99 Dioko. So:
20$ -> 7hz Zero
50$ -> Truthear Zero
100$ -> 7hz Dioko
There's just no space for 80$ IEM
It'd be 85$ I assume, and would compete with his Dioko that's 100$
Hexa sounds too flat and boring compared to red. Why try to fix that.

not even close... titan s are much more clear, a little fattiging on 3-4 k. these have to much smooth treble, big sublows and nice mids.
these also benefit from a good headphone amp imho

Moondrop Aria is my first choice right now... Can u suggest me another one too??

Aria sounds very different. Warmer, less treble focus. Definitely great but not a step up in detail if that's what you're interested in.

Very different tunings so cant really compare them
Is Truthear x Crinacle - ZERO:RED sweat proof? Can i use while cycling or any activities?
There is no IPX certification on any wired IEMs I've seen. Not sure how they'd hold up.
@@SuperReview thanks
What about Hexa or Zero Blue for flat listening?
is there any difference between blue and red ? Or just color
I recommend watching the video.
How do these compare to 7hz Zero in your opinion?
The bass definition is incomparable. The zero reds has so much bass definition its insane at its pricepoint.
Does Truthear x Crinacle Zero: RED come with mic out of the box?
No.
Please don't post the same question in multiple videos.
@@SuperReview ok .... thanks for response
Is there any 3rd party ear tips that is similar to the Red's stock tips?
Hm, Tanchjim T-ABP are similar.
Compare to dunu titan s which one you like more?
Hard to say without listening side by side, but I might pick Titan for the form factor alone.
@@SuperReview ohh really? Is the sound that similar??
I think you should compare it to the TRI Starriver. Not sure why that set isn’t talked about more. I really think it’s a magnificent iem at an incredible price.
Which are the best for fps?
This or the 7Hz Zero is good enough tbh. Haha And whatever is a similar neutral tune in the budget section. Kiwi Ears Cadenza, Moondrop Chu 2, 7Hz Zero 2, etc. generally you want flat mids with less bass bleed. ☺️
How does this stack up against the FIIO FD11?

Hexa + impedance adapter = perfection?
Never tried, I think it makes it brighter?
@@SuperReview oh I thought generally you get more bass. At least that was the case with the Zero.
@@matsudakodo Nah, can't assume that an impedance adapter always equals more bass. Different headphone / IEM designs respond differently to additional impedance on the cable.
Do you will review the Aful P8?
Don't think so, sorry.
The iem and cable looks cheap. they add eartips and pouch to compensate 😑
The sound quality is goood but its a low sounding iem. hard to drive
Are these good for gaming? eg sound isolation
Yes!
The original zeros are supposedly better for competitive shooters
@@adrieel wonder how does it compare with salnote zero since it's rated one of the best for fps
@SUNG JIN WOO salnotes zero isn't one of the best out of cheap IEM's for gaming. Truthear zero is better for gaming, over most in that price, even over the red. I've personally tried a lot of the cheaper and a few more expensive iems for gaming, as well as music. Kiwi ears cadenza is also another good budget iem for gaming. Hexa is great, if you prefer a flatter signature for gaming also. There are better, if you jump up in price but these serve very well
@@jinwoooooooooo I have them both and yeah I agree that the salnotes zeros do not perform as well in FPS. Original Truthear Zeros are great, havent tried Project Red myself. Only issue is the nozzle size.
Is it me or is the impedance bent
Juzear 41T?
What's in a graph? Hmmm some lines and a grid. Hopefully labels to help explain the X and Y axis. It would nice if it was in color. Honestly, most important thing is the pick the right graph type for the data.
It's in/side/ the graph? * pokes at it *
@@SuperReview the iem is inside the graph? I feel like that breaks the laws of physics. Reminds me of that math book called flatland
Red or hexa 👀
Most likely Hexa
The earloops are so bad. I wish I could get something that is tender to the ear like airpod ones.
Overrated 👎 just stick with the original zero
LOL... I got this IEM for X-mas (one of the gifts to myself 🤐) ... they are great. Pretty smooth yet plenty detailed for everyday normal listening - very well balanced IMO. They fit really well and just disappear when listening to music - a lot of bang for the buck. I will be getting the Hexa next ... 🤷🏻
The Zero Red looks classy. You must wear Nikes.
