Let's hope the QC is a lot better here than on the original Zeros (probably not) Also, if you're gonna be showing more graphs in future videos, might I recommend clearer colors differentiating the IEMS on the graph?

original zero sounded too thin/shouty for me to use it with music so I'm glad to see this one isn't too far behind the original for gaming purposes probably going to give the blue zero to a friend as their first iem. also for anyone having trouble with the big nozzle I would recommend spinfit cp 155 tips

[@tekniik]

are there any tips you'd recommend that have that Apple ear buds shape? I've tried a couple IEM but always had to return cuz every time no matter what size they'd start hurting my ears like crazy or just fall out. I've been using apple ear buds for years now and find that shape fits my ears best

[@inoob26]

Thosae tips cost half the price of the IEMs. Are they really that worth?

[@zerotactix5739]

I use the cp 145 Spinfits. They're cheap, and come with 3 pairs. They're great for the Zeroes. I don't even notice the shoutiness with em. Quick tip. When i used a smaller size tip, it sounded shouty because I didn't get a proper seal, and even the bass was leaking out. With the medium size, for me it is a perfect seal. Now I find it super bassy and not at all shouty anymore.

do you think going from shp9500 over ears to the og crinacle zeros would be an upgrade or downgrade for gaming?

While it definitely doesn't look like an upgrade to the original for gaming, would you recommend the Red or the original for someone who has neither?

[@bergdk237]

What type of setting did you use for the blue/OG? like is it connected to onboard audio, or external amp/dac, do you play on stereo or? And with some eq? I feel like for me with my dac/amp in stereo and even with some virtual surround they play very loud and also to much base, so i have to do some eq for the low end and some soundlock to dampen the louder sounds. In general i prefer some type of virtual surround. Plain stereo to me just sound to narrow/in my head, for gaming. For music they are fine.

[@Raynoxfps]

Are the Dunu Kima better than the Zeros ? interms of sound stage and directional audio ?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

The stage on the kima is probably closer to you but the directional audio on both is great. When you allow your brain to adapt to the added warmth on the Kima they perform very well and I like them a lot.

[@sudosyyu]

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?

Good review I just purchased one pair of RED for myself (because the red matches my aesthetic) trying to ditch overear headphones for ease of use and not having my crown have a dent from overuse I have 2 questions in mind 1. I do understand the OG are better for gaming however how much am I losing if the OG is better for gaming compared to the RED? (%-wise) 2. Currently I own the Sennheizer x Drop HD58x how would you say those compare both to the Zero OG/RED?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Hard to speak percentages. If I was scoring them on a test the Og is an 87/100 the new one with adapter is a 78/100 although they’re probably a bit closer than that.

[@Krotexx]

@@FreshReviewsYT Thank you so if I were to go with the RED for my first IEMS for gaming I shouldn't feel like I'm missing out that much compared to the OGs?

[@scottwangkl8882]

@@Krotexx they probably perform close enough to each other that you wouldn't really notice much of a difference, but I doubt the performance on IEMs that are cheaper than full-sized over ear headphones would perform better than your 58x, especially when 58x are open backs designed for gaming.

[@Krotexx]

@@scottwangkl8882 thank you for your input I just really wanna try IEMs to ditch overear ones due to discomfort over long periods of time and from what I understood they seem to be better for competitive gaming which is what I mainly play with some music on the side

[@scottwangkl8882]

@@Krotexx I think a lot of whether an IEM performs just as well as headphones or not also depends on the sound design of the game. Personally, the Truthear Zero original feels like they perform pretty much on par with gaming headphones from Razer, but with much better tuning. So if you wanted to move into IEMs for better comfort then I would say go for it. With the Zeros, you don't really risk a lot of money anyway, since they're so cheap compared to the other options on Fresh's "wallhack" tier list.

I bought those headphones and was super excited since my old pair died(one ear stopped working). However, after using them for a bit I feel very disappointed. I'm not an expert or audiophile but my previous pair SoundMagic e80 sounded significantly better. The sound in Zero Reds seems to be so dry, the gunshots lack depth. I can barely understand what's happening on the map when I'm playing CS2, and that wasn't an issue with e80 at all. And I have to press them so hard in my ear at least to get some quality but it still sucks. It kinda feels like a waste of money.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Did you use the impedance adapter? Because your explanation is far off from the sound of the IEM used as explained in the video.

[@Aquve]

@@FreshReviewsYT yes, I haven't even tried it without it. There's enough bass when I listen to music, but the regular sounds I'm used to in games seem very dry and sharp. Like I shoot a shotgun with e80 and I can feel that that rich satisfying sound with perfect amount of depth, same with AWP or Deagle. It's pleasant to ears. I can play this sound on my iphone speakers and it will be very similar. But with Zero Reds it's suddenly very sharp and pitched idk how to explain this better. I feel like it's played at different frequency. If I max the volume I can perfectly tolerate the shooting sound with e80, but with Truthear it is actually painful.

Hello, i have newbie question. I decide to try IEMs for gaming (mostly FPS: Hunt showdown, some Valorant and RPGs). So i pick the Zero red for overall quality). I am currently using arctis nova 7 (wireless and it by-pass my crap ALC887 as onboard audio), for better sound quality its a overkill to buy soundblaster G6 or FiiO K11 ?. Yes these external audio solutions are 2x the price of these iems, but these products have long lifespan.. So is the difference in gaming / movies much better or its just overkill and will be better to buy some cheap dac /external sound card ?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

I don’t think it’s overkill. A good amp dac will serve you justice

[@Raikos100]

My 10 cents here: I use the OG zeros for gaming, they simply work amazing and better for it, clarity and positioning with good immersion. I use the Reds to listen to music and watch movies, they are GOD like for that purpose, since you can rock full volume and enjoy the entirety of it. The Reds for gaming are nice, but the positioning, the 3d, are not there compared to the OG. Only use if the game is not competitive.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Agreed. Red is good though with impedance adapter for gaming. Ultimately, the oG is the play for gaming.

Would you say the moondrop LAN is in your TOP 3 below $60?? my friend wants to get into IEMs but he could not stand my Zero after just a few minutes (again i do feel the wide stem issue is overblown anyway but he did say it wasn't too comfy for him) so perhaps the LAN would be a nice compromise? mostly gaming and YT videos btw, he barely listens to music.

[@exactom6320]

That’s interesting. I got the og zeros early on in my iem journey and I didn’t love the wide nozzles. Now they feel great in my ears. I think you just get used to wearing iems after a while

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Top 3 below 60 would probably include the lan

[@mcchickengrip423]

hey, i was really wondering if i could use the crin zero OG with my DAC dragonfly black 1.5 or would it make it worse? :o great review btw love the gaming focused approach as well as the music listening aspects!

[@tranner85]

@Fresh Reviews, thanks for your review, was hoping you'd review this. Without the impedance adapter, how would you compare the Zero Red to the TKZK Ouranos in terms of gaming? I realize that the Ouranos aren't on your recommended list, but you seemed to give it an OK. I'm looking in this price range and do more music listening / movie watching than gaming, but want something great for everything. These 2 are at the top of my list right now.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Tkzk would be better for gaming

[@tranner85]

@@FreshReviewsYT Thanks!

[@drip1orddior]

You’re actually nice at apex, especially for mnk. Just copped a pair of the OGs cause I heard the staging is better

[@Zombzap]

Hey just curious would you recommend the blue or red for immersive gaming. Also I am open to any other iem’s around the same budget if you don’t recommend either thank you

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Hmmmmm they’re both about equal in that regard. I still think it’s the best in the range. The new planar from kiwi ears could be great for immersive gaming

[@Zombzap]

@@FreshReviewsYT hello just curious the kiwi ears melody is the ones you were talking about Thanks again

[@johan7979]

Thank you for your insights Fresh. Now I've watched most of your IEM reviews, and I narrowed it down to the Moondrop Aria and the Truthear Zero OG/RED. However, I still can't decide which to choose from the two as my main use for it will be for competitive gaming like Valorant and CS:GO. Music is second (although it's still a priority to me). Any suggestions?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Crinacle zero OG for sure

[@johan7979]

Thanks

[@emrealacahan]

If you wanna compare truthear hexas and zero OG's which one is better for fps gaming?

[@Mridumoloy]

Which one shall I choose from The OG Blue Zero or the new Zero Red or the Truthhear Hexa for mainly Gaming purposes with occasional movie watching on my PC

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Purple

[@qualityblood5651]

which one should i get if i enjoy listening to music (specifically female artists) and also want to focus on gaming?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

I’d say the reds and then you can swap on and off the adapter

[@qualityblood5651]

@@FreshReviewsYT lovely! tysm for the response

[@nenevns]

hey, when should swap on and off the adapter? like, which should I put to listening to music and which to play videogames@@FreshReviewsYT

[@jhtongamer3151]

what should i get for playing fps games xenns mangrid trop or the Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite or also can you get into detail why you would pick this one and how much better is it would love to hear from you please thank you in advice

[@MangoTalksTech]

Great review, what if you used the impedance adapter on the OG?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

It should increase the bass even more

[@TheHalosofts]

I'm sorry if you mentioned this on the video, but I would like to ask which ear tips do you use for testing in gaming? Thank you.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Depends on the IEM. Sometimes stock. I do also use azla sednaearfit, Dunu candy, and spinfit

[@frostinsight3393]

Hi man, can I get just about any cable for the truthear crinacle zero for an inline mic? Is it going to impact the sound quality? I ordered the zero but I am also gonna need a mic.

[@birkanozturk2130]

did you fix that mic problem bro?

[@thelovelyboi1431]

​@@birkanozturk2130gotta get another cable with mic or buy dedicated mic. I think you can use phone mic without any worries if it's fixed into phone
