JUST A TIP: I have the Zero Blue and the plastic for the ear hook is a hard enough material that you can heat them up (heat gun, or lighter... i used a lighter) and you can reform the hooks to sit better on your head :) Doesnt need a lot of heat and they stay in the reformed position Very well. reformed mine like a month ago and theyre still holding their shape and feel soooo much better than the original form. this is literally just a quality of life tip, but trust its good.
@@tenderloinhenderson8800 the material hasnt changed its form since i did it. i also just kinda guessed how to shape them based on how they feel hanging from my ears.
THANK YOU!! had a different cable in my Blues but the right ear always sat slightly outward and ticked the ear. Just coiled it slightly and waved it over a candle sits perfectly now 👌
Holy shit bro, I remember when you had 2k followers, now you're about to have 100k. Love to see it. I'm gonna get the Zero V1 for sure. I have been looking for a good IEM for gaming, i'll try to pair that up with a decent mic for my PC set up. Thanks for the great review as always man.
@@Manny-lc1mf ive been running iems for years, the zero blues offer great detail for gaming in general, and sure you might find some that do something specifically better than others but these are a fine spot for gaming in the IEM space no doubt. the zero blues have been my ears for about 6 months and i can confidently say i havent misses a sound cue, granted i havent missed since starting to use IEMs, but zero just add a layer of clarity when the action starts to pop off. The bass makes the gunfire and the footsteps feel more intense but also gives a better mental space for your surroundings while also not being prominent enough to drown out the world around you. Basically, you cant go wrong with these for gaming especially if you pair them with a decent DAC. the DAC i use is the FOSI AUDIO DAC-Q4. its perfect for my use case. The only issue is the set requires you to have either big earholes or you better be ready to stretch your earholes lol I used the DUNU Titan S for a while before the Zero Blues and the size difference is wild. Your ears might suffer for your success...
@@healpetri699 I ended up buying the blue ones. The sound quality is great, but a bit low out the box from my experience( that may vary for you) I adjusted the sound level with the steel series software on my pc. As well as tweaking some settings on my pc. For siege I could hear a lot more and a lot clearer. The only thing is some instances directional sound can be weird( siege has shit sound at times) overall I’m satisfied being it’s way better then any headset I have ever used/ had for gaming in terms of pure sound quality.
My moondrop chu's just gave up and now I'm torn between the blues and reds. I could really use the original zeros for their competitive advantage, but nowadays I don't really spend much time playing ranked games, I just kinda sit at my desk and listen to music. 😆
ZERO Red would be a better choice pulling double duty great for gaming competitively and great for media consumption. And with the impedance Red's pretty much the same as the OG for competitive gaming.
Dudes who talk about "competitive gaming" like this always end up being some casual who's average rating at best in what they play. Pros literally use the most dogshit iems at events it's just cope. You can tune the footsteps louder yourself If you're coping that hard.
Well, I’ll tell you what. Buy both of them and use them and then tell me what you think, because after using both for a bit less than a month and coming to this conclusion, these are my recs. But feeeeel free to spend your own money lol I got the reds as a review unit and the blues I bought. Trust me as a sequel I was hoping to like the reds more but that wasn’t quite the case
I think since my main focus is audio of all kinds and not just gaming, I’ll go with the red, and use the impedance adapter to help with the bass when I’m gaming even if it’s slightly subpar in that regard
I don't think he said it was subpar at all. Also, Fresh Reviews has said that the Red is in the no.2 spot after the Blues for gaming. The Red is still rated higher above any other iem in or under its price range.
@@zerotactix5739 hey! So I’ve been using them since shortly after making this comment! I actually did not like the impedance adapter at all, it boosted the bass but seemed to negatively impact the blend of the higher frequencies. Overall I’m loving them though, I use them all the time, and actually prefer them over my headphones for gaming!
@@zyphoxxs3 so my headphones are sennheiser hd650s, which I love for audio, but the balanced frequency response+open ear build made them decent for gaming imo. I the earbuds when I play Overwatch or Elden Ring. Much better. But I haven’t used the blues, which people say are better? Idk. But the reds sound great to me!
The blues are unmistakably V-shaped that's why the video mentions more impact and (perceived) stageing. but for listening to music the reds are the best option tho you may need some detox at first since they can sound sterile at first, just give your ears a couple of hr and you'll know if it for you. V-shape is not bad or better it's just a different taste. I do have both flat and v headphones just because they don't overlap, some days you want to have a deep bass hitting your face other days you need clarity and detail.
Wow loved this video you're such a real person, I was kinda regretting impulse buying the reds as my first iem, I was getting headaches from my headphones and it kept messing up my hair, but this video put me at ease
This video was just what I was looking for. Super informative. I’m planning to buy one of these tomorrow as my first IEMs, I just have a question. How much “worse” are the Reds compared to Blues for gaming? Like, I’m just a casual gamer so I don’t care that much about being competitive. I also listen to a lot of music so that’s why I was going with the REDs. But everyone says I should get the blues if my main focus is gaming and I just can’t decide. How close the Reds come to the blues with the impedance adapter?
The reds are better for music in every way and are a physically more capable set. You might hear more footsteps with blues, but relying on footsteps is a bad habit anyways so it really shouldn’t matter much. The reds are incredible for the price. The 10ohm adapter isn’t good imo, it makes everything sound muddy, I don’t know why he said it has the opposite affect as it’s a measurable downgrade in clarity. And if you wanted the blues sound signature you could just EQ the reds to have the same exact signature but on an objectively better set of iems. Ear tips matter a lot too. A wider bore will accentuate highs and a smaller bore will accentuate lows. Tips really are the most important accessory you can buy for iem’s so try some out. Some good ones are dunu s&s, spinfit 145
If you're gonna game with them just pick the OG zero but if you're looking into listening to music and wanna hear the best details and resolution your apple lossless audio can do or even just want a neutral listening more audiophile listening pick the zero red. OG just loses on resolution and detail retrieval against the zero red cuz of that woofer/bass DD can't handle much power without sounding fuzzy and losing definition. But in gaming roll with OG.
@@Andrew-dw2cj I just learned that there’s an upcoming new iem from truthear x crinacle but crinacle named it zero 2 which has the improved tuning of blue and red with small nozzle
I was thinking on buying one of these to use on my phone and maybe on the pc, so I would use them for both music and gaming. What do you recommend? Before this I thinked that it just changed the colour 😅 (was still going for the blues)
I would recommend the Blues over the Reds even for immersion 100% of the time especially because of the positional accuracy. Even the Bass in the Blues is more than sufficient
I don't know if you bought anything but for music and live performances, I use the red ones. The blues have a pronounced V-shape in the midrange so they sound more impactful with the downside of hiding that mid-range which is where those vocals are. I have both but the blues are the ones that I take outside because they get me in a good mood but the reds stay at home where I can listen to every detail with no distractions
@@ibrahimouchair8742 I think they are awesome. My ears has to adjust to the fit of them, but after a couple days they feel much more comfortable. Everybody‘s ears are different so there is no fitting guarantee. The sound ist very good. The bass is separated and doesn‘t feel mushy or muddy. The mids an treble shine with clarity. For the price it‘s insane.
Hey like the video so far, what would be your pick if you play only story games on the ps5, games like ff16, uncharted, god of war and also listen to music?
What game is that in the background? Is that the latest Cod or xdefiant? I am a PC sports player but that looks fun, if it's the latest for I might buy it
Blue, but be ready to get a lot of pain in ears with their HUGE nozzles. If your ears are not big, better search for something else. My ears are small and I thought, one day they're gonna be completely rot, accordingly to all of that pain and sweat or idk what was that...
such an informative review i loved it! im still torn between the two though as i like to listen to music (specifically female artists) and i also want to focus on gaming :'')
Would the Antlion Kimura mic work with the TruthEar IEM's? Also, what standalone microphone would you recommend otherwise with these, if one does not want to have a microphone in their view when gaming?
should i use an external DAC for those ? im not into the DAC game.. but i heard an DAC upgrades your overall sound in comparison to onboard soundcards / drivers...
I just got a cheap dac adapter from Apple since my computer's sound is good but too quiet. You'd mainly use one if your volume is very low or yor computer sound is bad
@@baileythompson3378I just purchased them from Amazon, should be here tomorrow. I'll let you know when I receive them and give them a go with a couple settings on my Tr Mixamp. I also use a couple other apps on my PC like Equalizer APO plus Dolby with my A40s. I'll let you know if I can tell a difference from my A40s
@baileythompson3378 ok, so it took some time trying to adjust using these. I had to try out alot of different audio like Asiobridge-Hifi, and just headset. Best so far I found is Headset settings with equalizer APO and input everything for this IEM into that software. I had to turn off Dolby also it sounds better but with Loudness Equalizer on. It's not bad for $50 maybe with some more use I will like it more. I'll go back to my A40 headphones and see if I tell a better difference or not also
@@TooMuchTech ok so you have the same setup I do. Hopefully you can let me pick your brain, so I plugged mine into the wave xlr and when I shoot gun on apex legends it’s so loud and all other sound is low, any advice?
my PC has an audio jack at the front near where the power button is, but I also have one in the back on the motherboard, is there any different where I should plug?
But what if I play, but also often use headphones for music/video/movies, even сrinacle said that you can take blue ones and through the equalizer give them a red setting, if necessary, is it better to take the blue version? It’s just not very advisable to take two@@zerotactix5739
In my opinion you might as well get the Red, they're essentially 2 in one since the included adapter with the Red version brings the tuning curve closer to the Blue.
im using hyperx cloud alpha and an airpods pro , i will be using them for valorant gaming , and some hardstyle music, will the red or blue be better than my old ones?
@@BiOHZRD97 I have been using it for two weeks and they are great! Great directional sound for Valorant and CS2 so I think for any fps they will be good. Only downside is they are pretty big for my ear holes so it hurt in the beginning but now getting used to it.
I currently use Astro A40's w/Mix Amp Pro and have been for years. I have a question, are the Zero One's something to consider using with your mix amp or would plugging straight into the adapter and audio socket on your PC be the call? Thanks for the vid. To your point, the hair situation is tough! Worrying about headset hair and choosing not to play so you avoid it because you leave in an hour would be fixed by this!
You can customize EQ for sure, but honestly, I would always start out with better drivers if possible! That’s always going to yield the best results. Start with gold in the beginning!
@TooMuchTech I just purchased the Truthear Blues. How would it be plugged into my A40 Tr Mixamp? I also used Equalizer APO to help get better performance out of my A40s
The zeros are tuned towards the Harman curve, while the hexa is more balanced. The harman curve has a louder bass and treble. The bass in the zero would probably make it better for gaming as footsteps are in the bass frequencies, and gunshots are in the treble frequencies.
I bought the Reds love not using a headset. Will try the adapter. I wish I saw this before buying I may be the one with both just in case they break. I had to find a weird solution for my mic which is an old turtle beach mic plugged into an extension cord from a dongle splitter. Cost me 5$ and it clips to my neck with a clip I also recycled from old parts. It is leagues lighter and I can actually hop up and run to the kitchen on the mic.
hi how are things? I have some Sennheiser HD560s and I'm very happy but I needed something closed... I just bought these blue ones... in terms of sound quality, do they resemble the Sennheiser ones? do they sound better than hyper cloud? thank you
My sound is on 100 % now but not as loud as when I use speakers or old headset :( Any way I can raise sound above "100 %" in windows ? No point in hearing more if its so low :(
Depends on your set up. Motherboards usually have a decently powerful output but you have to use the port at the back and you’ll need an extension cable for your 3.5mm jack Your alt to that, and a better option would be a dac amp and it doesn’t have to be a super expensive one either a.co/d/3u9blkn Something like this
For some reason with my Blue IEMs, the audio on the right bud cuts out every time there is any sound with a consistent bass frequency, is there any reason/fix for this.
What about the truthear hexa and Kiwi ears Orchestra lite ? I was bit confused over the red and blue ones but thanks to got the answer but if I had to compare between Truthear Zero blue ones and Kiwi ears orchestra lite which ones should I go for ? Please Help
Doesn't the Orchestra Lite cost like 6 times more of the Truthear Zeroes? I bet they sound better. Not just me, Fresh Reviews is a channel that covers iems for gaming and he recommends Truthear Zeroes for the 50$ category, but also recommends the Orchestra Lite for 300$. If you're going for value for money, usually the cheaper options are better, but if you have money and simply want the best of the best, go for the Orchestra Lite.
Hey chat, I ordered the blue one (still in transit), I'll use it for competitive fps, but I'm in doubt if my pc could give me the same experience as you guys may have (not an expert of pc btw). I have an A320m motherboard, and I see at the back 3 audio jack (pink, green, & blue). Green would be for the output as I tested. I guess I wanted to know if that's enough? Or do I need like an adaptor or like a dongle to capture the full potential of this product? Thanks!
Looking to get my first pair of iem’s and hear a lot about these but i also came across these KZ ZS10 Pro’s which look super dope and have 5 drivers each ear (not sure if that always means better) but was wondering if anyone has used both or maybe just knows more. (mostly getting them for tarkov and ig other competitive shooters where audio plays a big role) and would be nice to swap to those for gaming and headset when im chilling for a while idk
Recently I got the kz zs10 pro and the sound is great I love em but one issue I have is gaming with them for longer than an hour, I have tried bigger tips and smaller tips and it helped but still hurts near the back of my ear so I’m thinking of getting foam tips or try these but I have been told the moondrop arias are good, the kz as 10 are good aswell and these are good too so idk what to do
@@dudelol4527 ive heard about some iem's doing that after a period of time gaming, mostly heard it happens if someone has maybe smaller ear canals n such but that was also a worry of mine. let me know how those foam tips work for you! I really just plan to use them for "Escape From Tarkov". Honestly since they are only $50 it wont hurt to try them for a day or 2 and return if not comfortable so i may just trial and error a few iems haha. hope i get better luck with the kz zs10 pros since im also worried about comfortability in the long run of gaming thank u again for the feedback
More drivers don't always mean better, there are some amazing IEMs with only one driver and there are terrible IEMs with tons of drivers. (KZ has a history of shoving in drivers that do basically nothing just so they can say their IEM has X amount of drivers) Personally I'd recommend the Zero's for only gaming, and the Zero Red's for music or just an all rounder, "do everything" IEM
Planning to buy Truthear x Crinacle Zero Blue for casual gaming mostly fps games like PUBG and CS2. I bought a 4 USD IEM QKZ AK6 PRO and I have a Razer Blackshark v2. I use the Razer Sound Card for my IEM and not satisfied for my IEM the gun shot has an high pitch though the footstep imaging is ok. Do I need to buy a DAC or my Razer Sound Card is good? TIA
What Razer sound card? My answer would be, try watching a gameplay video on twitch on your soundcard, and later do the same on your phone. Iems don't do well with surround tech. Standard stereo is better for IEMs, unlike headphones. I went through that phase myself, switching between different 3D solutions and finally settling for standard stereo as it's not compressed. Plus saves you the headache. You need to give it a little time to get used to stereo audio coming from 7.1 n such. Then later you wouldn't want to go back. Back to Twitch video. If you feel you prefer the tone on your phone better than on your desktop, then a DAC would just be similar sounding, but clearer and more detailed and louder. Get something like the iFi GO Link or a basic desktop DAC like the iFi Uno. They'd be good for the Zeroes.
Also reg the high pitch, i too faced a similar problem initially. With time i found out that the eartips make a shit ton of difference. You're probably using smaller tips than what your ears need. Try a size larger. Its only when you get a full seal, does the bass truly kick in, and the sharpness / shoutiness diminish. Try all the eartips in your iem box. Each will give you a different sound profile. The bigger hole ones are called wide bore tips. Use those to reduce shoutiness as well. It's the white silicone one. Don't bother with the black foams, they increase shoutiness.
@@zerotactix5739 the inclusion sound card on my razer blackshark v2. I am now using conexant cx31993. Is there any big leap from conexant cx31993 to iFi Uno? IEM to Conexant to PC
@@sreakz highly recommended but so many new iems now. You better research first before buying. Still using my Blue with dongle dac until now. Try to search fresh reviews for new iems for gaming.
@@TooMuchTech is the directional and positional audio is better compared to the cloud 2 , apha or maybe even the cloud 3? im really confused which headphone or IEM to get for valorant
2 месяца назад
Any seat of IEMs is better than almost any headset. Keep in mind that gaming headsets are a marketing thing. They're mostly not good headsets at all. They just have some design and a mic boom attached.
Hi guys i just bought the blue's but damn are they are quiet did i do something wrong im trying it for valorant right now and the footsteps is god tier i just hope that i can have a louder volume
If english is not someone’s first language and one has never ever heard someone describe a mic as a “dedicated microphone set up” as every regular person would just say a mic, and watching a video about a device they’ve also never heard of, an IEM, from everyone that seems to be an audiophile, which the specific viewer, me, is not, I think it’s more than understandable to ask what they mean in case stupid me buys this and is potentially missing pieces for it to work or work optimally and it’s just plug and play and get 100% benefit like one would with simple earbuds which I guess aren’t IEMs
mf said the same thing about the blue twice and thought we wouldn't notice
i thought it was the matrix. lol
Must’ve been an editing mistake ahah
@@TooMuchTech Dont you watch before uploading?
As a fellow black man trying to grow out my hair for rows, I have been looking for IEMs for the same hair issue haha. Thanks for the great review
White man with shaven head here. Same. Using a headset on a shaven head leaves a dent. So you kind of get headset skull instead of headset hair.
studies have shown that wearing headphones too much might actually leave an imprint in your actual head as well
Just get the reds tune them to give you better footsteps audio will change drastically depending on tips you use anyway.

idk if something is wrong with me or if im just not accustomed to iems, but they sound quieter than my hyperx cloud II and "tinny" if that makes sense
Could be you need to have some. EQ settings for the iem
I'm torn between these and the Truthear Hexa for gaming.
Leaning towards the Hexa right now, but how do the soundstaging compare between the two?
Do u pick one?
To be fair. I have hexa for a month and crinacle red for a week. I'd rather have hexa because hexa is loud asf without bass
@@ManuelDavidAlonsoMunoz I ended up getting the Hexa. I'm satisfied with it
Bro on repeat at 5:00 and 3:45 how you miss that one.
People make mistakes 💙 it's not a big deal
For non-competitive gaming such as enjoying Open World games, which one is better for that?
Thank you so much, that helped a lot. Will try the blues this evening.
Are they good?
@@ibrahimouchair8742 I think they are awesome. My ears has to adjust to the fit of them, but after a couple days they feel much more comfortable. Everybody‘s ears are different so there is no fitting guarantee. The sound ist very good. The bass is separated and doesn‘t feel mushy or muddy. The mids an treble shine with clarity. For the price it‘s insane.
@@Schmiddis_focus do you use sound amp or dac?
@@cahyaaaNo, just the normal jack. They‘re great
@@Schmiddis_focus thank you, im buying it now
Hey like the video so far, what would be your pick if you play only story games on the ps5, games like ff16, uncharted, god of war and also listen to music?
Blue
I know this is a shot in the dark, but can you use them on ps5 and can you recommend them to play on console?
You can but you won’t have a mic😬 except for the built in one to the PS5 controller
What game is that in the background? Is that the latest Cod or xdefiant? I am a PC sports player but that looks fun, if it's the latest for I might buy it
😂😂😂your brain 🫠
This is late but there is only 3 sizes in each box S/M/L and there is 2 variants which are narrow bore and wide bore ear tips split down the middle
What do you use for a mic
Do you do any tweaking to them like EQ, using a dac/amp, sound limiter, stereo mode or virtual surround for gaming?
Which is better for COD gaming? Red or blue? I’m on PC. Thanks bro💪🏼
Blue, but be ready to get a lot of pain in ears with their HUGE nozzles. If your ears are not big, better search for something else. My ears are small and I thought, one day they're gonna be completely rot, accordingly to all of that pain and sweat or idk what was that...
thanks this is all i needed to hear but wat game is that?
such an informative review i loved it! im still torn between the two though as i like to listen to music (specifically female artists) and i also want to focus on gaming :'')
Get the bluessss
if i get iems can i use my headset as my dedicated mic or do i need to buy a real microphone
I know this is 8 months later but i’d defenitely get a separate microphone!!
Do you need an AMP between the iem and the pc because ive been trying the zero without amp and it sounds real weird ..
Nope they are IEM and have a pretty low impedance you can definitely drive these with just your pc
If they sound weird without an amp they'll sound weird with an amp. They might just not be for you
Blue v2 is upcoming guys
cant wait
Where can we get more info about that?
How is the noise isolation on the blue and red ones?
Would the Antlion Kimura mic work with the TruthEar IEM's?
Also, what standalone microphone would you recommend otherwise with these, if one does not want to have a microphone in their view when gaming?
They’re good for music or listening to electric guitar?
should i use an external DAC for those ? im not into the DAC game.. but i heard an DAC upgrades your overall sound in comparison to onboard soundcards / drivers...
I just got a cheap dac adapter from Apple since my computer's sound is good but too quiet. You'd mainly use one if your volume is very low or yor computer sound is bad
How would the blue be plugged into a A40 Mixamp on my PC? Would it still be good? Im wanting to see if i like it more then my A40 headphones
Tried this yet? Thinking the same thing
@@baileythompson3378I just purchased them from Amazon, should be here tomorrow. I'll let you know when I receive them and give them a go with a couple settings on my Tr Mixamp. I also use a couple other apps on my PC like Equalizer APO plus Dolby with my A40s. I'll let you know if I can tell a difference from my A40s
@baileythompson3378 ok, so it took some time trying to adjust using these. I had to try out alot of different audio like Asiobridge-Hifi, and just headset. Best so far I found is Headset settings with equalizer APO and input everything for this IEM into that software. I had to turn off Dolby also it sounds better but with Loudness Equalizer on. It's not bad for $50 maybe with some more use I will like it more. I'll go back to my A40 headphones and see if I tell a better difference or not also
Thanks for the great reviews. On the zero one, did you plug and play them?
Plug and play yessirrr. Into a basic headphone port on the Elgato Wave XLR, nothing special
@@TooMuchTech ok so you have the same setup I do. Hopefully you can let me pick your brain, so I plugged mine into the wave xlr and when I shoot gun on apex legends it’s so loud and all other sound is low, any advice?
What game is he testing it on?
I NEED TO KNOW AS WEELLLL
@@NIKHILwasHere looks like XDefiant
Now iam using final audio a4000 and final audion b3 do you think its an upgrade if i pick zero red? For fps gaming only
Qué tal te fueron con los rojos para los fps? Yo aún no decido si comprar los azules para jugar warzone
How many channels do you have? I swear I was subscribed to two other channels that you had and I'm just stumbling onto this one
Haha two. This one and Tech Kile.
my PC has an audio jack at the front near where the power button is, but I also have one in the back on the motherboard, is there any different where I should plug?
Motherboard
You should use the motherboard jack. You can buy an extension if you want it longer
can you recommend any like an extension that I can use because the cable is not long enough??????
Bro, which mic were you using in this video?
Can you tell me in short wich is better for music and why. i understand english little bit
Zero Red for music.
But what if I play, but also often use headphones for music/video/movies, even сrinacle said that you can take blue ones and through the equalizer give them a red setting, if necessary, is it better to take the blue version? It’s just not very advisable to take two@@zerotactix5739
For similar prices, would you go for moondrop aria or truthear zero red?
Zero Blue👁️👁️
But otherwise, Zero reds are more comfy than the Aria’s I haven’t touched mine in months
Which of the 2 would you recommend for a more open world type of games?
In my opinion you might as well get the Red, they're essentially 2 in one since the included adapter with the Red version brings the tuning curve closer to the Blue.
im using hyperx cloud alpha and an airpods pro , i will be using them for valorant gaming , and some hardstyle music, will the red or blue be better than my old ones?
In the same situation as you. I suppose blue would suit better because of the situational awareness.
@@Samsei1 have you buy it? I bought hyper x cloud 3 instead 😂
@@BiOHZRD97 I have been using it for two weeks and they are great! Great directional sound for Valorant and CS2 so I think for any fps they will be good. Only downside is they are pretty big for my ear holes so it hurt in the beginning but now getting used to it.
@@Samsei1 the reds or the blues? Does it sound better than airpod?
I just bought HyperX Cloud 3 but would love to try these IEM.. what do you think
@@BiOHZRD97 I got the blue one since I only use the IEM for gaming only. Haven’t used any earpods so I can’t say.
I'm confused about which ones are the V1. People are saying go for Zero but both of them are Zeros? Which one is the V1?
Zero Blue are the V1
@@TooMuchTech thank you!
Moondrop Aria would be better than the zeros ?
I currently use Astro A40's w/Mix Amp Pro and have been for years. I have a question, are the Zero One's something to consider using with your mix amp or would plugging straight into the adapter and audio socket on your PC be the call? Thanks for the vid.
To your point, the hair situation is tough! Worrying about headset hair and choosing not to play so you avoid it because you leave in an hour would be fixed by this!
Curious about this also.. I’ve seen several people say they plugged them into their amp & customized the eq etc
You can customize EQ for sure, but honestly, I would always start out with better drivers if possible! That’s always going to yield the best results. Start with gold in the beginning!
@@TooMuchTech so plug into my 4060ti? Very new to this so yea..
Do these have a mic to chat in party? If not, how can you circumvent that with these earphones?
They sell iem cables with microphones in them, juat make sure they use the same plug as your iem
The bass on the Red can get any closer from the Blue with the adapter? Or even with the adapter, it has less bass? Great video btw :)
Acc to Fresh Reviews, it's almost as much as the blues with the adapter.
how accurate is the imaging, like when someone is behind you do you hear it accuratly ?? Just wanna know before buying the blue
I would say really good, I’ve pretty much switched to them from having Astro A40 TR’s in the past which have been my gold standard in positioning
@TooMuchTech I just purchased the Truthear Blues. How would it be plugged into my A40 Tr Mixamp? I also used Equalizer APO to help get better performance out of my A40s
@@TooMuchTechdo you use a soundcard ? Or any Sound software/Equalizer ?
@@TooMuchTech Astro A40s objectively have the sound of a 80 dollars headset. Gaming headsets are a scam.
so like what if i wana game and listen to music is it better to get the blues or reds ?
Guys truthear zero:blue or the moondrop aria snow edition for gaming (fps shooters like valorant)
What game is this?
what impedance adapter would you recommend ?
am i okay to just plug my iems into my mobo straight? or do i need a mixer to plug them into?
Plug it straight, unless your mobo soundcard really sucks. It probably doesn't
@@DenKulesteSomFinsmost mobo audios suck. Unless it's a new model and is expensive.
What do you think is better to get for competitive FPS shooter games, the Zeros or the Hexa? The additional price on the Hexa is it worth it?
The zeros are tuned towards the Harman curve, while the hexa is more balanced. The harman curve has a louder bass and treble. The bass in the zero would probably make it better for gaming as footsteps are in the bass frequencies, and gunshots are in the treble frequencies.
Overall too, the Zero's imaging, depth and soundstage beats out the hexa's by quite a bit. For competitive fps, go for the zero's
are these any good for console? I bought some Linsoul KZ ZS10 Iems and the directions of the footsteps were not accurate at all. Help please
I bought the Reds love not using a headset. Will try the adapter. I wish I saw this before buying I may be the one with both just in case they break. I had to find a weird solution for my mic which is an old turtle beach mic plugged into an extension cord from a dongle splitter. Cost me 5$ and it clips to my neck with a clip I also recycled from old parts. It is leagues lighter and I can actually hop up and run to the kitchen on the mic.
hi how are things? I have some Sennheiser HD560s and I'm very happy but I needed something closed... I just bought these blue ones... in terms of sound quality, do they resemble the Sennheiser ones? do they sound better than hyper cloud? thank you
Sounding better is subjective, but it sounds cleaner and clearer for sure.
My sound is on 100 % now but not as loud as when I use speakers or old headset :(
Any way I can raise sound above "100 %" in windows ?
No point in hearing more if its so low :(
Sounds like you need to buy a DAC/Amp to push more power to the ear phones
@@TooMuchTech typical. So this was a waste of money. Time to spend more money now. Even though normal headset and speakers work just fine :/
Depends on your set up. Motherboards usually have a decently powerful output but you have to use the port at the back and you’ll need an extension cable for your 3.5mm jack
Your alt to that, and a better option would be a dac amp and it doesn’t have to be a super expensive one either
a.co/d/3u9blkn
Something like this
What game is that around 4:01? Thank you!
Counter Strike Global Offensive
For some reason with my Blue IEMs, the audio on the right bud cuts out every time there is any sound with a consistent bass frequency, is there any reason/fix for this.
I would warranty it to be honest
Hi i wanna buy blue one need mixamp or is good without too?
Try it without. If you find out you need an amp, get an amp. Not everything needs to be a question. Think more pragmatic.
So I got the blue set today but sound isnt "very high" when turned up to 100% in windows. Any way to make sound even louder ?
was ur problem fixed?
@shawty_ahmet6864 No ? Nobody replied and came with any solution. Waste of money. Volume at 100 % and not even loud.
buy any dac
Hi, can you recommend some good usb mic to these iems that isnt to pricey? I would appreciate that a lot, thanks.

HyperX quadcast. Blue snowball or yeti. Rode and shure have some pretty nice mics. Just get one of these.

What about the truthear hexa and Kiwi ears Orchestra lite ? I was bit confused over the red and blue ones but thanks to got the answer but if I had to compare between Truthear Zero blue ones and Kiwi ears orchestra lite which ones should I go for ? Please Help
Doesn't the Orchestra Lite cost like 6 times more of the Truthear Zeroes? I bet they sound better.
Not just me, Fresh Reviews is a channel that covers iems for gaming and he recommends Truthear Zeroes for the 50$ category, but also recommends the Orchestra Lite for 300$. If you're going for value for money, usually the cheaper options are better, but if you have money and simply want the best of the best, go for the Orchestra Lite.
Hey chat, I ordered the blue one (still in transit), I'll use it for competitive fps, but I'm in doubt if my pc could give me the same experience as you guys may have (not an expert of pc btw). I have an A320m motherboard, and I see at the back 3 audio jack (pink, green, & blue). Green would be for the output as I tested. I guess I wanted to know if that's enough? Or do I need like an adaptor or like a dongle to capture the full potential of this product? Thanks!
I connect the blue ones to my astro mix amp and is like wallhack🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Im so confused, what is a astro mix amp and how does it help you? Im really interesting in buying one too and i dont even know what it is😂
@@healpetri699 Don't. Get any other mixamp or DAC if you don't own or use a headset from Astro. Just look up dac for IEMs or something.
Looking to get my first pair of iem’s and hear a lot about these but i also came across these KZ ZS10 Pro’s which look super dope and have 5 drivers each ear (not sure if that always means better) but was wondering if anyone has used both or maybe just knows more. (mostly getting them for tarkov and ig other competitive shooters where audio plays a big role) and would be nice to swap to those for gaming and headset when im chilling for a while idk
Recently I got the kz zs10 pro and the sound is great I love em but one issue I have is gaming with them for longer than an hour, I have tried bigger tips and smaller tips and it helped but still hurts near the back of my ear so I’m thinking of getting foam tips or try these but I have been told the moondrop arias are good, the kz as 10 are good aswell and these are good too so idk what to do
@@dudelol4527 ive heard about some iem's doing that after a period of time gaming, mostly heard it happens if someone has maybe smaller ear canals n such but that was also a worry of mine. let me know how those foam tips work for you! I really just plan to use them for "Escape From Tarkov". Honestly since they are only $50 it wont hurt to try them for a day or 2 and return if not comfortable so i may just trial and error a few iems haha. hope i get better luck with the kz zs10 pros since im also worried about comfortability in the long run of gaming thank u again for the feedback
More drivers don't always mean better, there are some amazing IEMs with only one driver and there are terrible IEMs with tons of drivers. (KZ has a history of shoving in drivers that do basically nothing just so they can say their IEM has X amount of drivers)
Personally I'd recommend the Zero's for only gaming, and the Zero Red's for music or just an all rounder, "do everything" IEM
What's the game at 4:00?
I don't get it. Why he keeps saying "Zero V1 and Red"?
Zero V1 = Zero Blue?
Yes Zero blue is the first version

Can anyone tell me which one is better for sound seperation. Blue?
Very informative ❤️
Planning to buy Truthear x Crinacle Zero Blue for casual gaming mostly fps games like PUBG and CS2. I bought a 4 USD IEM QKZ AK6 PRO and I have a Razer Blackshark v2. I use the Razer Sound Card for my IEM and not satisfied for my IEM the gun shot has an high pitch though the footstep imaging is ok. Do I need to buy a DAC or my Razer Sound Card is good? TIA
What Razer sound card? My answer would be, try watching a gameplay video on twitch on your soundcard, and later do the same on your phone. Iems don't do well with surround tech. Standard stereo is better for IEMs, unlike headphones. I went through that phase myself, switching between different 3D solutions and finally settling for standard stereo as it's not compressed. Plus saves you the headache. You need to give it a little time to get used to stereo audio coming from 7.1 n such. Then later you wouldn't want to go back.
Back to Twitch video. If you feel you prefer the tone on your phone better than on your desktop, then a DAC would just be similar sounding, but clearer and more detailed and louder. Get something like the iFi GO Link or a basic desktop DAC like the iFi Uno. They'd be good for the Zeroes.
Also reg the high pitch, i too faced a similar problem initially. With time i found out that the eartips make a shit ton of difference. You're probably using smaller tips than what your ears need. Try a size larger. Its only when you get a full seal, does the bass truly kick in, and the sharpness / shoutiness diminish.
Try all the eartips in your iem box. Each will give you a different sound profile. The bigger hole ones are called wide bore tips. Use those to reduce shoutiness as well. It's the white silicone one. Don't bother with the black foams, they increase shoutiness.

How are these earphones compared to headphones like the hyper X cloud 2 ?
IMO better. I definitely feel like I am getting a more full range of sound and a more dynamic experience whilst using the Zero’s
@@TooMuchTech is the directional and positional audio is better compared to the cloud 2 , apha or maybe even the cloud 3? im really confused which headphone or IEM to get for valorant
Any seat of IEMs is better than almost any headset. Keep in mind that gaming headsets are a marketing thing. They're mostly not good headsets at all. They just have some design and a mic boom attached.
3:50 game?
Hi guys i just bought the blue's but damn are they are quiet did i do something wrong im trying it for valorant right now and the footsteps is god tier i just hope that i can have a louder volume

Very helpful video thanks 🙏
the blue is counted as the v1? just to be clear
ye
Thank you, bought blue ones 👍
You keep saying dedicated microphone set up on pc? What does this mean?
A standalone microphone. Come on, man. This is not that difficult.
If english is not someone’s first language and one has never ever heard someone describe a mic as a “dedicated microphone set up” as every regular person would just say a mic, and watching a video about a device they’ve also never heard of, an IEM, from everyone that seems to be an audiophile, which the specific viewer, me, is not, I think it’s more than understandable to ask what they mean in case stupid me buys this and is potentially missing pieces for it to work or work optimally and it’s just plug and play and get 100% benefit like one would with simple earbuds which I guess aren’t IEMs
I take it these are not compatible with consoles? :/
