7hz ZERO 2 vs the REST (ULTIMATE $20 Budget GUIDE)

[@shikitono5643]

I just bought the Zero 2. Compared to my previous Chu 2 DSP and having the Tangzu Wan'er right now, I'd say they're almost similarly tuned. But Zero 2 has a better thump on bass, has clearer highs and treble. Wan'er has the better mids, clarity and has a good bass. Chu 2 has the best fit for me ears, more premium build, and a well balanced out of the three. Whatever you choose on those three are still a bang for the buck in my opinion because they're all well-made for the price range they're being sold to. Another recommendation is buy the Moondrop Springtips or Tangzu Sancai Widebore if their stock eartips hurt your ears.

[@shusui9665]

which would be tge best for gaming?

[@anshu1329]

best soundstage between the three ? or are they all extremely similar

[@sen6516]

Glad you enjoyed the takstar pro 82, seeing its fr graph now, the bass switches could def be improved but the 1st setting is still rly solid, thx btw

[@renatobdc]

They went to the wrong way with the zero 2. They should have kept the same bass but only reduced the pinna. It would be a novelty in the budget range.

[@jayyaudio]

True

[@JohnClarkW]

That would be a great move. I tune my Tanchjim One with a flatter pinna and more bass. Rosefinch has later pinna, but yeah I can think of anything budget in the reduced pinna category.

[@josaphcj7199]

U can just eq that right with the zero ? Or u can eq the zero 2 with less bass and reduced whatever pinna u said.

for me the only thing limiting it now is its physical form

I broke down and got a pair, but mostly to support Crin. I am usually on the fence on his tuning, so Crin plus some bass seemed like a thing I wanted to encourage.

[@devaraft]

Crin og tuning is pretty meh for me (dioko, zero red, zex pro, etc) which is frustrating cause it feels like it's almost can be my ideal tuning but two of my main concern being fix in these makes my expectations go high

Jay, would you be reviewing Timeless 2? There is Hidizs MP145, Kiwi Melody, Kefine Klanar and Timeless 2, Hifi P1max - need to pick one; I don't have a planar; hence curious. Hope when you do the review, you will be comparing. Cheers.

I suppose I made a good decision purchasing the simgot ew200 for 30 dollars instead of zero 2 for 25

[@jayyaudio]

and that you did

[@nixlad]

Awesome video! I just recently ordered a pair. As someone who only ever listens to Sennheiser HD650's and occasionally airpods pro (but sick of the battery life) and looking for a budget pair of IEM's do you think this is a good purchase? I don't mind bass at all but I do like some high end. Is the high end recessed or drowned out at all? Not willing to go over $25 dollars, honestly, and the Zero 2 looked good to me. Thanks, and subscribed!

[@jayyaudio]

If you want something sharper the ZIIGAAT Nuo is a good choice as well

[@robLuis8668]

Hi bro, did you consider this zero 2, a balanced with a bass boost iems?? I like the simgot ew100p but I would like something with more gain in the mid-bass , specifically in that area, i like the balance in the ew100p, or the blon z300 is a better choice?

Hey Jay! Received my Cinno yesterday and I can say that note definition, resolution, clarity and separation seem to be the strong points. Stage is wide but not very deep or tall. Vivaldi worked perfectly, Zimmer also very well. Metallica were wonky. This set really seems to favor the more lyrical music pieces (try Innocente by Delerium).

@@jayyaudio Thanks. Just saved my $25 😊

[@projectx5154]

Graphs don't tell the whole story. I have qkz hbb and waner and their graphs look similar. However it doesn't describe how impactful the bass is on qkz. Waner doesn't come close even if you eq up the bass. So don't just look at the graphs, look at reviews of people. Zero 2 are definitely not as bassy as I see a lot of people say they are similar to waner and og zeros. So if you want to buy a more balanced iem than the qkz then go for it or better yet save some money and buy a 40-50$ iem that will be a proper upgrade

[@baztim9470]

'Oh, it's not costly, we don't know where to get it, will take this!' is the common refrain! Not only is it pretty decent, it has that DSP, which makes the decision easier. As in, no need for a dongle with 3.5mm etc, just fit this in, and go. That's also one of the reasons, 3 of mine are gone! And I don't have one now!

me i have ordered zero 2 though if i find it too bassy in competitive games i will be using eq to decrease the bass for competitive advantage, the ew200 will feel much more fun cuz it has bassy but also more sparkly sound in vocals and treble cuz it has less bass than zero 2 though ew200 may be more harsh sounding and more distracting sound cuz elevated uppermidrange and treble so for long time sessions will be not the best and also is more heavy cuz its metal and weight more so zero 2 is better for gaming for more hours but for every iems, you should always listen to from low to medium volumes cuz its just hurt your hearing if u listening very high volume
