30:53 Final Thoughts
There are companies that want to establish themselves as market leaders.
7Hz is one such company , that has since the launch of the Planar IEM Success story ....Timeless, been causing a storm in the chifi market!
Was the vision to lauch a Planar IEM a carefully thought out process , or more of a Blon BL03 jackpot, I don't know!!!
What I do know is that with the Timeless , a seemingly unsuccessful technology used in IEMs came alive in such a way that as we enter the second half of 2022, no one company wanting to be successful in this market dares not have launched or be in the process of launching a planar IEM.
Well this take no prisoners mentally has trickled down to the single DD market , and with the Zero, 7Hz wants to again set the bar, establish guidelines by which others should compare themselves.
At 20usd there is simply no other IEM that offers as much.
The build quality is spot on for the price, with what seems to be a polycarbonate shell, detachable cable of acceptable quality and ample tips to match most users.
But the true star of the show is the sound, a warm low-end, that will please all but the most demanding basshead, a perfectly executed midrange and treble extension that once again leaves little to be desired.
With all this praise there surely doesn't exist any flaws, well there are some flaws.... technical abilities are great for the price although I would have liked better Imaging and a tonality that was a little more faithful.
Compared to the Moondrop ChU it's closest competitor, the Chu offers no argument to justify choosing it over the Zero.
The story repeats itself with the Tripowin Lea and Moondrop Olá , and it's only when we enter the likes of the HZSOUND HeartMirror, Dunu TITAN S, Moondrop ARIA, TinHifi T3PLUS, TRI KAi, that we start to see IEMs capable of showing the shortcomings of the Zero.
What this basically means is that 7Hz was able to give us an IEM capable of playing with the big boys at a much lower price!

Thank you for not hurrying with the review. Although I bought and expecting a pair, first reviews are almost under the influence of the hype one way or another.
Thanks for your time making this review, well done!
Hi,
I received the 'Zero's yesterday. Its fit well in my ears with good isolation. To my ears, the zeros have bright and clear neutral with just enough bass sound signature.
Thank you.
Great, just bought it... How could you not .. 👍 Keep up the great work..
Oh nice sound improvement bro ☺️ 👍
And thanks for the review ...
Wonderfull review as always Tony.
Much appreciated review, thanks for taking your time before submitting this one.
great review in depth review sir
Really nice review, i bought the (baby) blue ones, 'cuz i like me some blue and that hue is not really that common in iems; kinda makes it look like something that came with my happy meal back in the day, friggin' love it!.
Thank you, buy it today for 13$ and I'm so excited to put it inside my ears.
Where for 13?
Where for 13?
Probally at their local online shop.
same price in my country, with discount voucher
Thank you
That's nice that you fixed that sibilance issue
Damn, those are really nice sets of cables you have.
Fantastic in depth review, as always! Thank you. Do you have any information about your new collab iem? Really interested in the tuning and the switch in it.
It's got a 8mm DD , a 29689 and custom high frequency BA
The switches change the signiture just a little .....very mild attenuation! As for graph I'll post one on the FB page....Chifi Hopes and Driams
I was looking at Tanchjim Ola, I really wanted to save some for them, but so many picks and tastes it's overwhelming, haha! and more keep coming! And bringing Ola, I saw a post on headphones sub reddit, a post from Weibo that Tanchjim was going to bring a new Ola with a revision on the bass, some box pics were posted, that was on Aug 30, but I haven't seen anything else. i really liked the video was greaat :)
Also a little question, I was really thinking in putting a cable in my pair of Chus if my cable ever fails, hope not! there are guides here, it's nice :), would you consider it to be hard or easy to make a mistake? Thanks!!
Thanks, For The review btw which cable are you using with 7hz? is there any difference?
nice
Do you have a rank list for all your reviewed iems?
Do you think the original cable hook wil get better when you carefull use a hairdryer🦁
Can you link me with the exact xihns cable that you have on the zero? Thanks. More power.
Thanks !
It really bothers me the Zeros dont come with a mic -
Do you think its still worth buying it and then getting a mic Cable separately?
(total cost for me will be $65 CAD -since the cables cost almost as much as the headphones.... ) (can I find something better in the 65$ range instead)
Hi Akros, great in depth review and I have to say I really like the salnotes Zero. Got my pair last week. The cable is great apart from the earhooks, but these are fantastic for less than £20! Also, I got the Crin Zero and, I may be in a minority here but I don't like it. It sounds weird. The sub bass is great but it just drops off a cliff. I dug out a set I've had for a while now - HANADOMI 2DD MMCX . These are 2DDs per side, cost about £18 from AE and I prefer these to the Crin Zero. The only mod I did initially was to put a Y500 filter over the DD vent to elevate the bass. Now they're fully modded (open back) and I think they're great. And they're one of the cleanest IEMs I've modded! I've had the backs off a lot (KZ, CCA, GeekWold - just modded the KZ Terminator) and in most cases I see cables compressed against the DD vent - these have to be very gently moved to allow the DD to breathe. For the HANADOMI the cables are neatly arranged around the DDs. Highly recommended - with wide bore tips
Waiting on the Crin Zero to then make a Zero ^3 review.
The TANCHJIM Zero is a very impressive set!
@@akros9333 ha ha! Yep you wait for one zero, then three come around at once (UK joke about buses). Agree I really like the Tanchjim Zero - like the OLA but with bass! Competition is fantastic with these recent cheap sets - keep 'em coming manufacturers! 😁
@@badgerbreasts Can you tell me the differences between this hanadomi and salnotes zero? and which one do you prefer
@@sirhoshi5471 Hi, I'll dig out both sets at the weekend and do a comparison. Both have been modded though, so I can't do a stock Vs stock comparison unfortunately
@@badgerbreasts Ok. Thanks
Is it fine to get the Zero if I have the reecho sg01?
HI i have the Olina with a copper cable and the Kbear07 eartips. I did the filter mod and i am happy with it for gaming. However i am looking for a cheaper option for my other setups do you think this comes close to the Olina? Some reviewers say its even better or the best gaming iem.
It’s definitely a fun sound. A lot of detail and bass. I can tell that there can be more detail if it was tuned differently or used a different material but that’s why other IEMs exist
will this fit in my ear? i have semi large protruding ears will small-medium ear canal
Usually I wouldn't call this sort of tuning fun but these are absolutely fun. Yet? Somehow pretty good on technical abilities and relaxing at times if that makes sense. I'm really impressed. I'm just using the orange tips so far. Haven't even tried my other tips yet. So far I really like male vocals on this. It's very accurate there. These compete with the 80 dollar crowd easily to me personally. I think it beats Chu outright except in a few areas like female vocals. Chu is very tame in comparison Zero to my ears.
Have you tried spinfit cp 100/100+ tips on the zeros? I'm loving them so far
What cable and tips sir?
How does it compares with the $50 truthear zero ?
Any aftermarket cables and ear tips that you recommend for the 7hz zero?
I used the 500 series Comply foam tips and the bass response just came alive!! I also used the 500s on the Chu, and it improved the bass on both. I use iems to record and film a TV show in the studio, and use different ones for different tasks( drummers ,vocals) . I use the Heart Mirror for most female vocalists again with the 500 s and every singer loved them. On the BLON 03 I used the series 200, as the nozzle is a bit smaller, the 500s slip down, 200s stay put. I use the 03s for drummers, bassists and they love them. With the Comply tips I haven’t had Any fit or comfort complaints, and they stayed put. Sonny T
7hz v chu? I am looking for clear instrument separation and balanced output
Audio cutting in and out .
Yes . It's a pretty good one at 20
Hi Akros, i didn't understand the cable name that you used with the zero. Can you give a link to that cable please.
I use either XINHs or HAKUGEI cables. I have links in the description. Thank you
32:12 did you say you were using a stock cable?
I've been planning to get myself an IEM for some time now. I've decided between CRA and Zero. The region where I live the 7hz zero is about 8$ more than the CCA CRA. Now I was thinking is the zero worth the extra price over the cca? (dollars cost a lotin my currency, 8$ is about 1000 so it's a good amount of money)
7hz is far better
CRA has worse sharp peeky harsh treble I have them
I also bought EDX Ultra which is worse than CRA
I've never used an IEM before abd I'm really curious to know how do these compare to a pair of wireless earbuds such as Jabra or sony in terms of sound quality. thanks
The sound of the 7hz Zero is all about detail.... resolution.....it's got excellent technicalities and as such I don't believe a wireless earbud is capable of doing better , especially when you consider the Zero costs 20usd.
Thanks for comparing it to the Aria. I’m selling my Starfield (not a fan of wearing £120 in my ears, especially with paint prone to chipping) and I’ve heard that the Aria are basically 95% as good sound quality as the Starfield. So that’s a very useful comparison for me
Would you say there’s a big difference in the technicalities between the Zero and the Aria though? Especially in detail/resolution. The clarity of my Starfield is definitely something I’ll miss
Zero os definitely an amazing iem but the Aria is superior.
Bass is fuller.....mids even more correct than the already excellent Zero mods....highs almost as extended.
The Zero is a freak IEM.....it should not be this good..hahahah, but Aria is better!
@@akros9333 thanks, I appreciate it. It’s gonna sting selling my Starfields but saving so much money should ease the pain lol. And I’ll probably buy some aria when I see some on a decent sale
I have these, better option is CCA CRA. Incredible for the price, more bass and very clear vocals, obviously depending on what the sound source is!
Sorry sir, can you tell me exactly what kind of cable you are using for 7Hz Salnotes Zero ?
Hi...it's a XiNHS 8 core
@@akros9333 "8 core silver plated copper " right ?
Is the drivability good for general desktop nd smartphones if u dont have audio dac or something?
Yes, very good.
bro aria se vs aria original which one is better ? mainly buying it for gaming cant use headphones
i heard aria originals have paint chipping issue ?
is aria snow too bad then aria original ?
Well the OG Aria will be a better option for gaming .....but honestly there won't be a huge difference.....I personally just prefer the tonality of the OG
@@akros9333 there's 3 Aria, the OG one is non detachable and bullet shape iem. and rest the aria we know (ofc SE too)
How do they compare to the original CCA CRA?
incomparable sound signatures, one is severely v shaped and the other is harman neutralish.
CRA sounds good good bass okay mids
But treble in CRA is horrible trash peeks sharp and harsh
7hz is much better even if it has less bass
Choose by yourself
@@Smzxe thanks for the answer. In my country is hard to get de 7hz... I'll consider buying them from aliexpress but in Argentina it takes 2 months... currently I'll have to get by my CCA CRA and mi Tin T2
how is this compared to dioko?
i share a similar opinion... i see no reason to keep my other IEMs under 50U$ but as references...see...
I used 7hz Zero to hear this video. I hear the voice of the reviewer loud and clear so the variations of his voice in relation of the mic distance and position. IN THE SAME TIME, i could hear the music background, sometimes with amazing level of details. I have the same amusement when i hear my playlists.
and the final blow... in my ears, the confort and isolation is superior of all IEMs i had tested (and could remember).
So... what exists after Saltnotes Zero in "under 50U$" category? I really don't know.
at this point one thing seems obvious:
"Budgets" are eating "wallets". And i'm loving it.
Glad you enjoying it.... It's pretty amazing they have accomplished something so spectacular at such a low cost!
What? There is a music background in this video??
I got it today and listen to it. Sadly I don't like the sound very thin.
Extremely tempting, but I'll stay with my nozzle+rolled damping modded Blon 03 and Y4 bass vented HZSound HM. My wallet just can't give anymore, unfortunately
Have both and both are excellent, as modded. I stopped buying more IEM's after the S12...my IEM endgame purchase. Actually, I have had more enjoyment changing the way I listen to these IEM's...using a BT5.2 earhook set from KZ called the AZ09 Pro. They only cost me $28 for the set (AliEx sale price) and I have been enjoying them for about 1 year. Liked them so much, bought a second set for safe measure. The earhooks are so damn convenient, with plenty of power for the S12 (3 taps to left earhook for power mode) and decent battery life (6.5 hours/5.5 in power mode, 42 hours on case). Excellent BT pairing, decent range in AptX (AptX LL, AAC, and SBC too), very good call quality (CVC+), comfortable. No ANC or ambient, of course. If you want ANC/ambient...go for earbuds, instead. The BTR5 and after-market cables have been collecting dust, ever since.
@@jb678901 are your bt iems better than your fiio amp and cables?
@@matthewpunk2012 With BTR5 and cables I get LDAC quality, so no. However, the BT earhooks have HD AptX, which is more than enough for me. The BT is so convenient.
@@jb678901 ooooh, thanks man
I just bought the Salnotes ZERO, waiting for it to arrive. I'm gonna use this as a stepping stone to get to the 7Hz TImeless.
Do you like the set?
Don’t. The way point goes through the Truthear Zero, a superior iem to the Salnotes in every way.
I ordered 7Hz Salnotes ZERO and it will arrive soon. It is going to be my first pair of IEM, but I have headphones that I currently use for listening to music and I want to compare these two devices to each other, (Zero and my headphones) so what music/song would you suggest me to listen to compare these two?/on what type of music will I notice the biggest difference between these devices
How did the 7hz do my friend?
@@anshul_._ it's great, I love it! Only downside is that I use it for gaming and cables are too short compared to gaming headphones
@@taric_112 what kinda games you play? I'm looking to buy these for playing valorant
How is the imaging and mapping?
@@anshul_._ yeah you should, I tried playing valorant with these and its really good
Better than the CRA+?
Just got the 7Hz Zero today. Still early days, but side by side with my CRA+, I prefer the Zero. To me it's just noticeably clearer, particularly the vocals.
Took me a while to replace the eartips though, when in the CRA+ (and even the original CRA I had), it was effortless.
@@albertdl5795 this is the best budget iem according to you?
@@N0THiNG6 Well, they have different sound signature. CCA cra+ is V shaped while 7hz salnotes zero have neutral sound signature. If you're a basshead or listen to heavy base music this most likely won't be enough base for your liklings.
Moondrop Chu modification video please
Video has been uploaded some time back. Please look back .
@@akros9333 already looked. Found the bass increase modification but not the 2 pin cable modification
@@AudioHand th-cam.com/video/3jdY6RMCvKY/w-d-xo.html
Best thing about the cable not being the greatest, it is swappable, unlike the Chu that needs a lot more effort to cable swap its unruly cable.
Is it better than kz zex pro?
Yes it's far much better than zex pro
Zex pro treble is so worse and sharp it can kill Ur ears
Where you from I can't tell if you have a South African or not 🤣
Well I am Portuguese, but born and raised in South Africa until the age of 17.....lived in Canada..... Dubai......and now Portugal
@@akros9333 hahaha awesome 👌I was somewhat right you got the accent 😆.
Would you please keep naming the iems instead of calling them this and that one?
The IEM was Meh, in comparison to the Chu IMO. but the cable was nice and the red tips make the Chu sound even more amazing, a bargain for 20+ Euro.
Well it must be down to how it fit your ear as compared to CHU.....it's the same driver.....no difference.....just different shell and tuning slightly different....a little extra bass and cleans upper mids on the Zero.
@@akros9333 Aye, I have very large ear canals, the original Chu tips, even the big ones fall out of my ears, because of the squirly cable. More than anything else however, (Possibly because of the deep insertion) is the sound stage and the definition I get with the Chu. Pretty much everything except the bass and the center channel, takes place outside of my head, with pinpoint accuracy, and the usual thing where higher notes from a given source appear higher on the stage the higher they go. It could just be my head, but I have never heard anything like this. That and with the Red vinyl tips from the 7hz I can hear somebody plucking a guitar, behind Songbird from Rumours by Fleetwood Mac. Never hear that before either. The Chu also has this uncanny ability to hold onto the center and push it forward. Like the voice on the Hives "Hate to say I told you so" where it gets chaotic towards the end. Another live track I have where the guitar is buried by the bass and drums on the 7Hz, but is present and correct on the Chu. I have far more expensive IEMs but none of them save the UrbunFun YBF get even close to the stage & definition of the Chu, and it cost $20...
Most of this sets are not for me. For me a perfect tuning is easy to set. There is programs that can tell from a track how much the dB frequency are set. So boosting the dB of 1 frequency to delight people is not the right way. Hbb talks about that last video ans makes sense . For me when I play with high volumes. I find most iem with no mid bass and boosted mid high frequency that is not the tonality that sounds natural
Meh, underwhelming. It’s ok, but pretty lifeless. More hype than substance. It’s cheap but the KZ x HBB can be had for the same price and a way more interesting entry level iem. If you want a similar signature but infinitely better execution, then save up for the Truthear Zero. That one’s an actual keeper.
9 months ago which on the IEM world is like 5 years the Zero was excellent... Very mature sound
I think this neutral sign is for people who like vocal music,jazz etc...If you are into EDM,techno,metal or other genre when the bass NEEDS to be more heavy,you will find yourself throwing them to the drawer as i did myself with my starfield,bored of that uncompromissed sound.I dont know why all youtubers are pushing people to buy this kind of neutral,audiophile transducers.I dont feel myself as a basshead,but a bit of souce in the burger is always good,unlesss you are a vegan.😉
I like EDM without heavy bass :)
@@edi4ever1 You must be a vegan 😅
Gizaudio reckons the 7hz Zero takes EQing very well, you can add a lot of pleasing non distorting bass with an EQ tweak from your source.
There are multiple "fuck you, B A S S" collab IEMs from crinacle alone
for modern "chug chug" metal yeah it u need more bass. but zero it's enough for fast paced old school death metal/thrash which i liked it very much, you don't need heavy bass for it
5 minute intro? WTF
You ramble and babble, sir
I have alot to say😁
