7hx x Crinacle Zero2 review - 2nd Times a Charm
The Zero:2 is the second iteration of the successful OG Zero.
Changes include a new driver, cable and substantial tuning changes.
I really like the original Zero but it has some shortcomings. 7Hz has done an admirable job in addressing those by listening to the community.

ZiiGaat Nuo - From Nowhere to Somewhere
มุมมอง 1.5K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
ZiiGaaT may be a new manufacturer to many as it is new to myself. The Nuo is the cheapest of the new Pluse line of iem that also includes the more costly Cinno. ZiiGaat has put other companies on notice! At $24usd the Nuo should not sound like it does. It has an open, organic and detailed sound that belies its asking price. So much so that I found this surprising. Thanks to Linsoul for the Nuo ...

The Simgot EM6L Phoenix is a recent release from this previously “under the radar” company who garnered well deserved interest with their EA500.

The 7HZ Legato is am ambitious release from the respected company. Employing a dual dynamic driver setup with a dedicate high quality crossover the Legato aims to please.

The DT600 is on sale now: 100 USD!!! I am tempted... 😅
I use mine with the Tripowin Zoe QDC cable and Spinfit CP155 tips and a Soundblaster X1 with my Switch Lite, Tomb Raider remasters sound really good with these👍
Excellent review. Did these last OK this 8 months? Greetings from Buenos Aires.
I read on website little Q focus on vocal. But some review on TH-cam said not. I owned Kbear Dumpling. Should I buy this Little Q ?
Can I use it with a ddhifi dac amp dingle paired wirh the iPhone?
@@rawgov Sure, I do t see why not
Amazing review sir, thanks a lot... 🙏💖😇
Hey there , i am from Bangladesh. Currently i am using truthear hexa. To me midbase and soundstage dosent satisfy me, but the details of midrange is great. So is it worth if i move to ziigaat nuo. i love warm sound with slightly bass boosted , good soundstage and slight peak at treble not too shouty
Unfortunately I have not heard the Hexa so I can't compare.
Excellent review, thank you.
Zero 2 is one the most natural reference sounding iems out there
Good review. Very thorough. I am looking hard at the Zero 2 to be my entry into the iem world. I have just recently discovered the iem genre and am trying to learn.
how much power for a portable DAC/Amp to make the legato shine? Is the Shanling UA4 good enough?
Great review, agreed on all points!
Phenomenal review. Can not wait to receive mine.
plunge audio is the truth!!❤
Thanks so much for your awesome review!
Shame they suffer with channel imbalance after a while due to moisture Ingres
versus : EW200 and Nuo? Also you said you may do a Cinno review.
chose EW200 over this and it is amazing build and sound quality. Really depends on your taste.. thou I might still get this Zero 2 but will definitely upgrade the cable on this. EW200 is very usable, one of the reason why I bought that first.
I really need your help in picking me the best iem i can buy for 30 usd in India. I like listening to all shorts of music genres. So, i need an all rounder which one should I take tangzu shimin li or ziigaat nuo. Both are for 30 usd in india.
Between those two the Nuo for sure. Imho, the shimin li is not that good. Lacks detail and balance.
Thanka bro
Can you get the QKZxHBB ? It's in that range is a good all around, though heavier as it is metal. I have that, Ziigaat Nuo, Simgot EW200, Truthear Hola and a few others in same range. I like the all-around Kiwi Ears Cadenza for a bit more money - works with a lot of genres.
I've chosen the kiwi ears cadenza.
I've been considering putting a tube preamp between my dac and my solid state amplifier. Would this preamp work in that situation or do you recommend something else?
7hz salntnote zero user don't buy this.
Haven't bought yet but judging by the graph the upper midrange can be too much for me in some songs (especially females vocal when they're screaming). Because i have Heart mirror pro with super similar upper midrange and it's shouty for me, but for 25$ it doesn't matter that much since it's a simple fix with EQ (3100 khz -2,5db, 0,9Q). This is just a thing for people to remember so you don't get overhyped
the nozzle seems short
😂 bro it's huge
Could you compare these ones with A&K Layla II?
Unfortunately, I've never had an opportunity to listen to that other IEM.
Just got my nuo and listening to your great review using them. I took a risk and bought while there were no reviews available but I'm glad I did.
the nuo is so good (especially for the price), they can keep up with my kz pr3
Thanks for the amazing detailed review 👌 Mine is on the way. Eagerly waiting to experience the great sound.
Good review 👍
I immediately ordered one when I heard the tuning was similar to the Simgot em6l.
Are they?? I just ordered a pair
Great review man 🤙 Great point re: fit-they definitely to seem to 'meld' and it's very easy to forget you're wearing them. Its layering is what struck me as their standout too. Cheers
I’ve had this set for a good week now and I am as impressed as you are. I definite keeper set for sure.
Great review… thanks 🤘 I actually ordered these yesterday and after watching your review makes me very excited to give a listen and check them out… thanks 😎
@@redeidson140 When you get them, they do take a day or so of “burn in” to develop the bass and smooth the upper mids out.
Awesome review of the Unity. You described the experience as well as words can. The only way to better describe it, is to listen to it.
A most outstanding video review to describe the Unity BANG ON !❤
do you have a iem ranking list ? if not what are your top 3 under $200 ? thanks
I don't have a formal list and with under $200 it does change. I would say: Hisenior T4, Simgot EM6L, and Hisenior T2
So using this with my phone and a high quality dongle wouldn’t be enough ?
It will sound good, depending on the dongle. I used an E1DA 9038S G3.
Excellent on point review. I’ve had this set for a while now and it is always in heavy use by me.
My Hisenior Mega5p has been at the top of my rotation for over a year now. I want get a custom mold from them next.
I got this coming from Ali for $9
Thanks for reviewing the Hisenior Okavango! Hisenior is a fabulous company making high-quality products! How does the Hisenior T4 compare with the T2, Okavango, and Mega5P overall?
Sent mine back. Nozzles came off. QDC connector is not a problem on the EM6L, but the nozzles are. The nozzles also don’t have a lip on the end and they are chunky. The EM6L does sound good though. Put a standard nozzle on them and you have a winner.
did you buy it from amazon us ?
@@jozif7114 YES! I buy from Amazon when I can.
Depth in an IEM has been a game changer for me with the Penon Fan 2. Sounds emerge from the darkness and it’s so enjoyable. I switch to the EA500 for more sparkle, air and energy. Depth is good on the EA500 and soundstage is excellent. The EM6L sounds like a winner.
EA500 and EM6L are the most compelling to me. Seems like Simgot is on fire right now, EM6L seems to have the special sauce and I like the fact its light and can probably be worn longer than EA500. I just have Truth Ear Zero right now and it's amazing to me how much more fun it is to listen to music than most headphones I own ... even the Edition XS for the music I personally listen to.
@@drewmorg. I used to own the XS and while it is excellent, I sold it because it couldn’t compete with my IEMs and their portability.
so where Penon Fan 2 lands in the under 200£ range? I'm thinking of aful performer 5. I don't know what sound signature I like because I'm new into this space but i guess i will love great soundstage and imagining with good width/depth but with an airy and sparkly sauce😂 Which do you recommend?

@@DePerfectionist96 Fan 2 has an oldschool warmth to the sound that’s very enjoyable. It’s not exactly sparkly and energetic, but it’s smooth and non fatiguing on the ears. If you want energy and sparkly treble, EA500 is awesome, but might be too much for some.
Not a si gle driver it's a 10mm woofer and 7.8mm mid Bass up driver with a cross over at I think 180
Where do you put the micropore tape/Y3 filter on the IEM? Sorry, I haven't tried modifying any earphone or headphone before. Great review.
Poem of Chinese drum was amazing. Thanks for the recommendation! Great review Kingnubian
A most excellent review Bennet. It did well on the Poem Of Chinese Drum that's cool a BA Set that can wow in bass texture is impressive tuning indeed. Looking forward to hearing this one. TDM❤
Marvelous review and comparisons! Thanks for focusing on excellent, yet lesser-known IEM brands, like Hisenior!
Good informative review. HiSenior is, in my experience as well, a company committed to quality build and tuning.
Brilliant review mate, Many thanks ❤️ I've been looking at these on the fence for a long time! You have told me and confirmed my reservations 🙏🏼
You do a fantastic job of describing the IEMs. You deserve a lot more views. You do better then some prominent audio reviewers.
Compare to ZS10 Pro X, which one is better.. ?
Great review, very on point! Ive had them for the last 2 weeks and i just cant get them out of my ears. The only iem that compete with them is the Theaudio Monarch Mk2, which has a fantastic detail retrieval, almost as spacious soundstage and even more realistc/natural timbre. They both trade a blows, and im lucky to have them both!
I'd Say The UM Mest MKII also competes, maybe even a bit more of a funner listen. Soundstage is a bit more holographic. Also, the MEST works for a wider range of music, and is less forgiving for poorly mixed/mastered material.
I ordered the Up a couple of weeks ago, and your review makes me glad I did!!! My big three in rotation will be the Up, the Ikko OH5 and the BQEZY Autumn!!
