TRUTHEAR x Crinacle ZERO: RED Review - Which To Choose?

[@zivzulander]

Crinacle would rank that thumbnail as S-tier 😎😁

[@cosmo57]

Inspired by jays audio??

[@laykehicks8413]

I have these. Red is better all around, its tuning is very safe and the ohm adapter gives it the needed bass increase for movies and gaming. It's non-fatiguing. My only complaints are it's huge and sounds a little narrow. You won't get micro details with these but it is a solid use IEM. If sizing is an issue look at the 7hz zero2.

[@MayaPosch]

IEMs are a pretty fascinating territory to embark into. I recently got my first pair of IEMs (Moondrop Chu II) after following Crinacle for a while, and I must say that it is a pretty solid experience. The loop over the ear is nice, and the detachable cable you find in most IEMs these days is a blessing. I think I may have to try the red pill after watching this flick as well. Hope there are no vicious machines waiting for me on the other side.

[@1fareast14]

Be careful, the recommendations on this channel are 1-2 years out of date, chifi sound quality is improving too fast to go back that far. Paul Wasabii and Akros would be better resources for a newcomer. Good luck!

[@telephonic]

Good first IEM, may you find your endgame IEM down the line.🤗

[@mistaBorg]

great to see more iem coverage.

[@kenjikodai]

Blue is my choice since it had a more subwoofer feel but the red is better for everyone

[@EkczHD]

I just got the blue zeros couple days ago before this review. They are excellent. Dual drivers really make an effect on the whole sound experience. I'm sure the RED version is equally good.

[@tinocabral4201]

How are the blues holding up?

[@GrinstCravtTV]

3:27 It's easy enough to make them wireless, just buy Bluetooth modules with a suitable 0.78 connector and that's it

[@pelperson]

that intro was GOLD

[@madeinnola]

Anybody know if these are better than the kz zar & 7hz sonus?

[@Imcrimsoncuh]

If there are any console gamers here looking into iems save yourself some time and get the simgot ew200 especially if you plan on plugging them straight into your controller the dualsense controller struggles to drive the crin zero’s they run much better on a dac amp but the simgot ew200 are driven with ease much more detail retrieval

[@drakewilliams6069]

Thank you so much for this post. I am planning to buy my first pair of IEMs and all of the reviews for the simgot ew200 seem very positive. Out of curiosity, what are some cheap dac amps that can drive IEMs for consoles?

[@completelyaverageviewer]

@@drakewilliams6069from what I know about how consoles handle DACs and such, I think it really depends on whether or not you’re using an Xbox or a PlayStation. the Xbox is very proprietary in how it handles audio, it doesn’t seem to allow USB powered DAC/AMPs either. as for PlayStation, it seems to be the same story there as well. so ultimately you only have a very small amount of choices, assuming what i’ve found to be correct (make sure to do your own research to verify), the best choices i’ve seen are for the Astro Mixamp Pro, and the Steelseries Gamedac Gen 2. they’re far from some of the high numbers you’d see on other dacs, but consoles limit the audio quality quite a bit anyways. the Xbox Series X only does 16b/48khz, and the PS5 only does 24b/48khz. side note, if you have an xbox, make sure you get the xbox versions of the dacs so it’ll be supported

[@boyseverino528]

Try the red with 4.4 balanced wires .. its sounds great. Its just that it needs power to drive.

[@TNT93o]

I'm currently trying to find a replacement for my Moondrop Aria, due to the left ear piece losing/fading audio. It's quite upsetting because otherwise they're really a great pair of iems. With that being said, would the Reds be a great pick? I do like my bass in my sound. I play various games and music (metal/rock/rap/synth/and more lively music😅)

[@rakat04]

Have you used Moondrop free dsp cable yet? I bet it'll pair nicely with the red.

[@angelochiriac1898]

I wish you would provide more sound test with different eartips.

[@abstractwars]

I’ve got an Audeze Penrose wireless planar magnetic, is it worth it to get these will the wired aspect improve anything in terms of sound quality, bass etc?

[@The_Shock_and_Awe]

3:32 tws modules like Fiio UTWS5 and what I have, Ifi Go Pod turn my IEMs into wireless

[@randomkiliinterviews9453]

Is the red one better in sound than the ports pro over ears or worse ? (I know this is simplifying things but was curious, as both are quite cheap and people rave about them .

[@MrSmitheroons]

I enjoyed the thumbnail more than I probably should. I think I'm too deep in the rabbit hole already, lol.

[@RTINGScomAudio]

🤣😂

[@joewinglovemusic]

Hi I just wondering have you use any FIIO IEM yet pls? I am looking at FH3 and FH5s just wondering can you do a comparison video like this one with them please ☺️🙏🏼

[@RTINGScomAudio]

We haven't bought and tested any of their products yet unfortunately. But we'll consider it if there's enough user interest! www.rtings.com/review-pipeline

[@StefanTheMongol]

I appreciate the Matrix and Pokemon mentions. Pretty good stuff.

[@1fareast14]

Oh, god. Recommending the Aria in current year? One of the worst sets I've tried. If you must go for an 80 dollar single dd, ea500lm sounded much better to me.

[@geraltnroach]

Not the worst sound, but definitely there are more better iem for that price

[@ch0ch1s]

Is there a way to add Bluetooth capabilities changing the cable? That would be great!

[@AlexRios666]

yes, TRN BT20/30, Moondrop Evo, Fiio UTWS3,5

[@afs8491]

you can always grab a bluetooth adapter from fiio or hiby, but these are best used wired

[@ziokalco]

They use a somewhat standard conector, you can get Bluetooth adapters of various characteristics, but good ones often times cost more than the earphones

[@MayankJairaj]

Yep I do it everyday, I use the TRN BT20XS but u can buy more expensive stuff like the BT30 or the Fiio UTWS5 If u still wanna use the wires then a Bluetooth sink like the Astell and Kern XB10 might be a good choice

[@Watskeburt]

Blue for gaming Red for music

[@ZiakCc0]

What if u need both?

[@MrGlaicer]

FreshReviews actually recommended reds for gaming)

[@Watskeburt]

@@MrGlaicer No he don't lol. He recommends the OG zero's which are the blue ones

[@hartyewh1]

I prefer Red for both. The bass boost and sharper ear-gain don't benefit gaming in my opinion in a way that matters.

[@weebenub1148]

So should i buy blue? My main task is gaming

[@MoYum-j2n]

Well I was confused between both that's why I bought both 😂

@@menschmaschine7808 not at all. blue has better directional audio

[@menschmaschine7808]

@@Watskeburt ok sorry. I thaught that the reds are better for gaming. I saw a few videos about that topic.

[@headphonesuser1234]

Red

[@Watskeburt]

@@headphonesuser1234 Nah the red with this stupid ohm adapter ruins the sound. The blue zero has more bass which the red lacks only with the adapter it gets some more bass but then u will ruin and muffle the mids and ups too much detail will be gone. You need bass for crispier directional awareness otherwise it sounds flat. The red is still a nice IEM for music tho. The blue is better for gaming for sure.

[@1fareast14]

The industry has moved on, IMO. I didn't like the fit, but the arrti t10 would beat the pants off these for a similar price. Rhapsody from cca is probably better for finding your preferred bass level with tuning switches. But as ever, 100-200 dollars are the best price bracket for chi-fi in terms of value

[@optionlV]

"Ray-tings"? I thought it was always "AR-tings"? I really am in a simulation.

[@RTINGScomAudio]

Surprise!

[@brianm2850]

Buy Red

[@Zerogwastaken]

Alternatively, get the Blues and eq to reds for freedom of choice :)

[@Raiden-pdx]

The reds have less distortion so the other way around would be the way to go

[@Quantowski]

Why would you say that the cable wraps around your ear? That's what happens in every IEM.

Great review but pity you are veryyyyyy late to the party. If you are going to review stuff ....keep up to date.....just a small suggestion. As for the Zeros....good but very much overtaken by other offerings, especially the Blue which is very outdated.

He means they follow the Harmon curve or something similar, with very little exotic tuning curves,

[@whataniceday565]

@tomasbohdal1282 safe tuning = crowd pleaser, no unique quality to it like very realistic timbre, transparent treble, beautiful mids, punchy big bass, huge soundstage. Didn't sound like a collab.

[@quochuynguyen764]

@@whataniceday565 nah, the crowd prefer v-shaped sound, like any iem from Simgot, or HBB. These crinacle's iem is popular only because crin was the biggest iem reviewer so he is trusted by a lot of people, but if an average person doesn't know about Crin, blind test these and something v-shaped sounding like Simgot iems, they would definitely choose the Simgot

[@Watskeburt]
