Truthear x Crinacle Zero: Red Review 2024 | Modern Neutral IEMs

[@bluetran1]

I hear some noise in video...

[@mrgalifray6809]

I bought these headphones spontaneously, and decided to watch this video. At first I thought that I had miscalculated the choice, but at the end of the video you said that they were great, that was enough for me not to sell them))

[@KenCreates]

Glad I was able to help reassure your decision!

[@SirZechs77]

My pair just came in and honestly they are so much fun, for this price I'm very happy and they will probably be replacing my Hola's

[@gerritfridericksohn4627]

This is a good review. Very good points. I have this IEM and the Hexa. I've tried many tips and I use the silcones that come with them. I don't use the resister either. I thought it made the sound "wirey". I run the Red flat and with open bore tips through the Mojo2. I boost the bass 3db and use the wide bores on Hexa. I don't know wtf I'm doing, but I'm having fun. Not much money. I don't prefer either one. They're just different. It's a pleasure to listen to John Lee Hooker's Big Legs, Tight Skirt. And Shostakovitch Jazz Suite No2.

[@KenCreates]

Thanks! I love your approach to audio. I feel like we often forget to have fun with our gear at the expense of getting super critical about technical performance. I've been cycling through the Red, Hexa, and now the Salnotes Dioko.

[@agunemon]

Also Crin does always preface his products with... Its tuned to his preferences that may not be everyone else's cup of tea. 😅

[@AmbientClassical]

That was helpful, thanks!

[@Devil1836]

Nice review again. Please do a review on Sennheiser IE200 and on any best Planar iem👌🏻👍🏻❤

[@EyeForKnowledge.]

As for gaming, I don’t know what you’re wearing but these are amazing. I like IEM’s because I mainly VR. Playing Pavlov, I can clearly hear what direction footsteps are coming from, much better than the Pulse Elite garbage Sony just released. I can hear all the little details in the background playing RE4/8. In GT7, the engine sounds are sublime. The Camaro I have supercharged literally sounds like I’m in the drivers seat when I mash the throttle. I can feel the motor. These are fabulous for gaming.

[@Snebo4Life]

Great video, thank you!

[@papayauwu807]

My budget was 45usd, luckily I found the Zero red on Aliexpress for 46usd and now I can't wait for them to arrive

[@jeffli480]

I agree with your assessment of modern neutral. What do you think about these compared to the Hexa’s?

[@TheSaskva4]

Guys, im writing from hospital, my scenario is thruthear crinacle zero red, btr/ white, deezer hifi, im so pleasent... sorry fo awfull english.. but ive never heard never before! My soul just fly over)))

[@siddhesh2888]

I use these with 75ohm impedance plug officially making them a basshead IEM without the need to do EQ.😅

[@KenCreates]

Whoa! 75ohm!? How does it sound with that??

[@siddhesh2888]

@@KenCreates Basically all frequencies remain same with only 10dB boost to sub-bass.

[@EyeForKnowledge.]

@@siddhesh2888Doesn’t it make it sound muddy? And low volume? I can’t stand the 10 ohm they sent with them. Sounds like fake bass. But I don’t listen to much hip hop.

[@rajan07i]

Which one is good truthear x crinacle zero Or truthear red

[@EyeForKnowledge.]

Reds. For sure. If you listen to a lot of hip hop you may be disappointed. These I think are tuned for metal. Crunchy guitars. And rock with a lot of highs and mids. If you like metal and rock, these are the ones.

[@rtr4987]

Which is better? This or kz zs12 pro ?

[@kygo8303]

Hi Ken very nice and high quality video, can i drive this zero red with my apple lightning 3.5mm dongle .

[@EyeForKnowledge.]

The reds are absolutely mind blowing for metal and rock. I just got done with a session listening to Machine Heads “The Burning Red”. I’ve never heard it so clean and crunchy before. The slow breakdown at the end of “A Thousand Lies” and the famous end of “Davidian”? Forget about it. My neck hurts and my ears are ringing. That’s a good listening session. Rush 2012, while I’ve heard it better sounds mind blowing as well. Something about these leave the lows down where they need to be with metal but the kick drums you can feel. But those mids and highs. Oh. The bliss. I think these are perfect. And for $54? I don’t think a metal head can ask for anything better unless he wants to go into the higher price bracket. They make my AirPods Pro’s sound small and tinny.And they were $250!

[@elijahelisha8229]

What about hip hop, rap and r&b music...?

[@EyeForKnowledge.]

@@elijahelisha8229 Not so much. They’re not really Bassy. I have some old school gangster rap like NWA, Ice Cube, Wu Tang, Run DMC, 2 Live Crew, etc. that’s really the only rap I listen to and it sounds good. Just can’t feel the bass like they’re intended to be felt.

[@elijahelisha8229]

@@EyeForKnowledge. Thank you for the detail feedback

[@BohmanderTCG]

should i get the zero 2 and use my hyperx sound card or spend 30€ more for crinacle zero reds

[@diazzsama]

does "neutral" here have the same connotation with "flat" when people talk about monitoring speaker?

[@KenCreates]

Yes! Same connotation and target sound but the actual delivery of "flat" sound will be different depending on if you're listening to an IEM, closed back headphone, open back headphone, or speakers due to natural acoustic properties.

[@hmf33]

Hi, would you say these are ideal for vocals? I was looking for the "best" pair for vocals in this price range. Thanks.

[@Shivacreates-kz5qy]

Sri I am use hi res audio supported (24bit -192kdz) smartphone this iem work or not my smart phone without dac I am mostly travel person dac with Iem not very comfortable

[@siddqirani7560]

Do you think it can beat $18+ KZ Caster?

[@yobson]

bought a pair, one of the drivers broke in one of the iems in less than 5 days. got a new pair thinking it was just that one faulty pair, same thing happened with a few weeks. they just break

[@KenCreates]

Dang that’s such a bummer. I haven’t seen many reports of build being a problem but at its price, I’m not too surprised. Sorry you’re having that experience.

[@yobson]

@@KenCreates it really is, i liked the sound a lot and now im looking for a less dodgy alternative

[@ApacheSenzala]

What is buzzing at the beginning

[@KenCreates]

A poor power supply to my cameras external display :[ i finally figured out what was causing the problem but didn't realize until it was too late.

[@vinniersx]

The Philips "what" 9500?

[@KenCreates]

Philips SHP 9500. Sorry just said it out of habit!

[@BurningBushPedagogy]

Someone said a cheap IEM is better than even HD600 so I came looking, is there an IEM for mixing mastering, since people are raving about IEMs

[@KenCreates]

So generally IEMs are not fully recommended for mixing and mastering since they don't give a great representation of imaging and soundstage so anything that goes over the ears or speakers will be better. So in that regard HD600, HD6XX, or HD650 would be much better. However, if I had to give a recommendation under $100 the Truthear Hexa performs incredibly well. Otherwise, the Moondrop Blessing has been said to be incredible for mixing as far as IEMs go, but it's very expensive.

[@rafaelbocsa781]

I just got there and i like them but, the bass is overwhelming for gaming, I can only hear my one gunshots(which are crazy loud 😭) how can i tweak these settings?

[@KenCreates]

Be sure you're not running them through the included dongle/bass resistor. Otherwise, unless you use an EQ, unfortunately the sound might be hard to tweak. For gaming, the HEXA might be better.

[@rafaelbocsa781]

@@KenCreates Damn ok thx. How can I use an EQ?

[@shamelessplace11]

Okay I'm going to give you all the real deal on these ians they suck bottom line they suck. Everything and every collaboration that critical has done they suck The tuning is so off it's ridiculous I don't get it don't understand why it's that way critical's better than this but they blow Don't let anybody fool you that they're good

Audible buzz in the video sound, cant watch it bud. sorry my Simgot Em6l's must be too sensitive.. lol
