Thank you for mentioning the Chu treble… that is essentially a deal breaker for me with Chu, didn’t love it overall… good value, but not for my ears… and ya, 7hz Zero is awesome!!! I really like it, especially for the price…
Watched this using my 7hz Salnotes Zero. I was thinking maybe Moondrop will release a Chu with removable cable in the future so I didn't buy it. And then came Salnotes Zero. Good things come to those who wait. :)
@@masterxiaolin It'll probably get some share for "but I want Moondrop and waifu" reasons, their fanbase was probably the target audience. Otherwise, yeah, in this price region and today, just slightly better build quality and reportedly technicalities is a tough ask.
7hz should ditch the Salnotes brand. The logo is ugly, the design of the Zero is ugly. If it's good, just call it a 7hz. Make it look as good as it sounds and you up sales by 10%.
I was expecting Truthear to be at the number one spot :0 now I'm getting excited for my own pair of Salnotes Zero that's on the way haha Edit: I got my Salnotes Zero today :DD It sounds awesome! I guess my Chu will be sitting prettily in its box starting from now haha
@@Gizaudio The Truthear Zero is meant to be the first Harman target under 200$ IEM, the 7hz Zero is like a retuning of the Chu, which is also tuned by Crinacle btw! The similarities to the Chu aren't a coincidence, Crin liked the Chu but thought the Treble was too sharp.
Something about the Moondrop Chu: Maybe i just got a faulty pair, but the bass is pretty darn bad. When i was mixing music the last weeks, i thought, lets test out the Chu and master for them. And daym, they did distort the bass, and not by a little. As soon as the bass went to the front of the mix what once was a sine wave almost sounded like a distorted sawtooth. Afterwards I listend to a few more bass heavy tracks and if you don't know what the original sounds like (since nobody uses a sine bass upfront) you may think its fine. But if you know how the bass actually sounds like, you realize the distortion. Mid and top-end is fine tho.
Hi!! would just like to say before this gets flooded by all the other comments that I got into IEMs because of you and crinacle!! Used to be a headphone-only dude but now that I've been seeing these cheap IEMs because of your channels I'm slowly getting addicted to IEMs. I currently have the Chus and THE CRAs and I'm waiting for the Arias in the mail!! ( i also might have gotten the snows cuz I do like an even more airy neutral tuning..kinda like the chus? I know you liked the original aria's more tho from a past video 🤣) i want to get the blessing 2's so badly but probably when i have more budget in the future haha Thank you for suggesting such great value IEMs!
@@Gizaudio only issues are not enough subbass, a tad too much mid bass bleed and a huge drop is treble spl after the peak (this is unavoidable though due to the 1DD configuration.)
Is the zero good with soundstage and footsteps? Im looking for something good for gaming. I think bass is what i want, but footsteps are a must as well as soundstage. What is your oppinion?
I wasn't expecting the secret section, it interrupted my listening to the ending song lol. The equalization can be applied to any iem or only for the zero?
So... you are saying that a $20 earphone sounds better than a $50 one??? Because first place was $20, 2nd place was $50.... So you get a better sound AND value??? Then it isn't even close... is it...
As someone that owns the t2 and ola i find the t2 much better ( better staging, better resolution) . Think its missing here and gets forgotten nowadays because its older. Should have been included imho.
7hz zero in the eq rating got a b+ rating, and here I see such a picture that shuoer s12 got b+, does that mean they are plus or minus on the same level?
I'm watching your channel & want to buy one but confused please help cca pla 13 vs kz zs10 pro 2 vs pro x ? or if u can suggest any better, i like to listen all type of music i have redmi k50i which have headphone jack with high-impedance DAC should i still need a dac ?
As a newbie I usually don't get why Audio reviewers doesn't like to EQ which could make the gear sound so much better but here I'm really thankful to you Timmy for showing us how to EQ the 7hz Zero and making it better sounding. Thanks again Timmy ❤️
for reviewers, i completely get not using eq since they need to evaluate the product as it comes out of the box and try to relay that information to their viewers. however, for the everyone else, eq should be an essential tool. but same confusion here, it baffles me as to why using eq is mostly ignored (and sometimes even rejected) in this hobby. i started out like that too, not using eq, and i kept trying to find my "perfect" headphone. after buying a few headphones and earphones, modding them and using different tips, i finally thought "this is stupid" since eq could have fixed it. now i eq everything i own and i'm happier with everything i have since i'm able to get them to sound more to my liking
@@carlos2004 agree eq should be normalised and discussed more in the audiophile community. Also reviewers should take eq in consideration even as a side thing showing how to eq different gears to the best output I believe people will really like it.
@@carlos2004 Hello there. Would you mind helping me to these "eq" stuff? I literally only have my phone (Poco F3), Blon bl03 and a laptop, that's it. I dont have amp or dac or any of that. Where should i start? What should i learn about first? Thank you
@@VanDungLe2510 start with the graphic eq's first. a normal 10 or 16 band eq will more than enough to actually be useful. some phone have a built in 10 band in the settings, but the eq apps are cheap if your phone doesn't have one. personally, i use eqfy and poweramp equalizer; i like both of them. for pc, i eq the sound outside the pc (with a minidsp) so i can't really recommend from experience, but there's also plenty if you want to look around. i used to use the one from realtek audio manager, and i see equalizer apo recommended a lot (might be a little too much to start off with though). but simply get a 10 or 16 band eq (5 band is very limiting imo) and start playing around with the sliders. you'll start getting a feel for which band does what. for example, the blon has big, bloated bass, so for that, i lower the bass quite a bit for my prefered listening. so on my eqfy app, it's 32hz/-5, 64hz/-5, 130hz/-3, 270hz/-1 . that gets rid of the amount of bass i don't like. i follow this process for all my other gear: find what i don't like, and eq it to my liking.
I need to pick a pair and a cheap dac dongle so I can send it to my son in Ukraine. He listens to new rock and electronic mostly. Any thoughts, anyone? Thanks!
Gizaudio: The Truthear x Crinacle is almost as good as the Moondrop Variations (a TWE that costs $450) in tuning Also Gizaudio: **places it below a $20 IEM**
@@Gizaudio : Getting into the hobby which do you recommend blon03 or moon drop chu or zeros? I mostly listen to hip hop/Afro beats and reggae/dancehall budget $40
Not sure I'm misunderstanding something. But my 7hz Zero sounds bad compared to Fiil 1 pro. It sound super tinny. Everything is super clear, but gratingly shrill. There isn't any fullness, or "thud" when closing a door or something. Not sure what I expected. I guess I thought it would be good
I have two issues with the Chu but I believe only one will matter to most people in here. I usually buy my IEMs with the mic included since I'm always on the go and TWS are actually a pain to use especially when near any Wi-Fi router and also sound quality isn't as good as wired ones. Anyway, the first issue I experienced with the Chus was because it didn't have a detachable cable, I would get this annoying buzzing sound that would sometimes go away but usually was always there. I found out it was most likely because the wire for the mic was possibly grounded or some sort. In any case, I usually do not mind this as the music pretty much drowns it out but when I listen to ASMR, it is annoying. Second and most likely the one people would be more interested in, especially for those who are in tropical countries, is that the Chus (at least my pair is) are very susceptible to the moisture problem almost every budget Moondrop IEMs have. I don't quite remember if the Starfields suffered the same thing but the Aria sure as heck does as well! I pretty much stopped using both my Chus and Arias because of this exact problem. Which pains me since the Arias are my most favorite IEM I ever had. But anyway, that's the main thing you should worry about if you're planning to get the Chus. So if you don't want to deal with it but still want to get that Moondrop tuning, I'd suggest getting the KATO instead. Or the Quarks, if you really are tight on budget but wanna try out how Moondrop could sound like. They surprisingly don't suffer from the moisture thing.
Thanks for the comparison! So detailed and useful. I just ordered the 7hz Zero and I can't wait to try them out. I like bass but I feel like it's not worth spending an extra $30 on Truthear x Crinacle Zero. I always create my own EQ through AutoEQ anyway
I caught your secret section! Thanks for the tip (and comparisons)! Do you have an EQ app rec for Android? And if I like the Koss Porta Pro sound will I like the 7hz Salnotes Zero? Thank you in advance!
I didn´t like the Zero Crinacle that much, I prefer the Tangzu Wan´er, for me is the best under 20 dolar iem, the Tin Hifi C2 is great too, that´s mi list: - Tin Hifi C2 - Kiwi Cadenza - Tangzu Wan´er - 7hz Salnotes Zero - Simgot EW100P
I loved the video man! I am thinking of buying the truthear zero because I simply have a hard time finding store that sell to my country as I live pretty isolated in a third world country, the 7h has free shipping to where I live so it's a nice deal for me.
As this video was posted, my Salnotes Zero are finally out of customs limbo and are now in transit Timmy, the anticipation is unnerving and this video doesn't exactly help LMAO
I am an audiophile although a money lacking kind of one and the only audio equipment i’ve been able to buy were the Audiotechnica M40x. But during this 11.11 sale I grabbed myself The salnotes zero for just $13 (Out country went through hyper inflation so dollars are kinda expensive right now) Can’t wait to get them in the mail. 🙊
I was very disappointed with salnotes zero imho they should not be in the list, the tops are not transparent, the middle is honky, and lack of sub-bass
I have a dozen iems, for me it is the mele. It is a mini Clairvoyance. of course the treble quality is no comparison. Had the diako but returned it since the treble was wide and 3d like. Also had the s12 and returned it. Just got the Kai and will be keeping it. Lately the iems seem to have a wide treble note. Not sure what the hell that is cause it is not realistic to music.
They probably have accumulated moisture in the "paper" filter under the metal mesh. Solution to this is to remove/puncture/loosen up the filter under the mesh. It solved issue with my pair of Chu's. Had a same issue with Kbear Believe and had to switch to metal filters.
So KZ ZS10 Pros don't make it? I have always heard everyone review them very highly and have been much better than their price for me for about 3 years now.
Maybe i'll sell my Heart Mirror and buy the Salnotes Zero, i'm not liking the harshness of the treble of those, can't listen in higher volumes. Anyone here that have both iems, could you help me figuring it out what to do?
Nice video Timmy, I have the chu but don’t like the spring tips. And got chrin’s zero coming in the mail. The end did seem a “bit too long” lol. Have a good one man
just got the salnotes zero today amazing detail and balance I was thinking maybe the base was a little too low so I tried them with my memory foam tips to see if I could get that extra bass and they got just perfect
I have the CCA CRA but I want to upgrade to a little more balanced iem cause I run a vocal boost on mine right now for Swing or Jazz to sound better. But due to how many genres I listen to, I don't want a vocal focused iem, just balanced. My friend has the truthear zeros and he said it was balanced and I like the idea of have those subwoofers for Phonk and Hip Hop. Should I upgrade to the zeros or is there a better option for balance at this price?
My Tin T2's cable is getting very dry and a little bit stiff, do you think it worth get another cable under 15$ or just get the Zero? I already have the Leá's, the T3 plus and the Bl 03, but i really enjoy the tuning of the T2, specially for vocals (they sound so smooth).
Finally crin revealed he has a hand in both zero - the top two in this list.

@@scarletvan4749 Thanks for the reply...I guess I'll be ordering my pair pretty soon
Anyone know if these 7Hz sound better with a dac?
To my ear, 7hz Zero bass is rolled off too much, similar to the Hifiman RE400, so I like the KZ CRN Pro better as it has great bass.
I think bl03 deserves a spot up there personally
Kinda old and many can replace it
"Ive not heard any newer stuff but still delude myself into thinking its competitive"
7hz should ditch the Salnotes brand. The logo is ugly, the design of the Zero is ugly. If it's good, just call it a 7hz. Make it look as good as it sounds and you up sales by 10%.

I loved the video man! I am thinking of buying the truthear zero because I simply have a hard time finding store that sell to my country as I live pretty isolated in a third world country, the 7h has free shipping to where I live so it's a nice deal for me.
As this video was posted, my Salnotes Zero are finally out of customs limbo and are now in transit
Timmy, the anticipation is unnerving and this video doesn't exactly help LMAO
Why wasn't the Linsoul TIN T2 mentioned? They are $45 on Amazon.
I am an audiophile although a money lacking kind of one and the only audio equipment i’ve been able to buy were the Audiotechnica M40x.
But during this 11.11 sale I grabbed myself The salnotes zero for just $13
(Out country went through hyper inflation so dollars are kinda expensive right now)
Can’t wait to get them in the mail. 🙊
Which site did you use? Been lookin in AliExpress and can't get them for that price.
Do you like them ?
Yeah where did you buy them for 13 bucks I just got mines today and I think I’ll buy a few more pairs for that price.
CCA cra+ or salnotes zero which is better in sound quality and gaming experience.
I was very disappointed with salnotes zero imho they should not be in the list, the tops are not transparent, the middle is honky, and lack of sub-bass
I have a dozen iems, for me it is the mele. It is a mini Clairvoyance. of course the treble quality is no comparison. Had the diako but returned it since the treble was wide and 3d like. Also had the s12 and returned it. Just got the Kai and will be keeping it. Lately the iems seem to have a wide treble note. Not sure what the hell that is cause it is not realistic to music.
I'm confused between CCA cra+ & Salnotes Zero, i listen to the Weeknd's Discography
Truthear Hexa, if you can stretch it 30$, is 3 categories above those, so saying that the 0 is best under 150 is a gross exaggeration
Can I get the lacking DB with a dac?
the tuning of the zero looks so good but someone I know had it for a week and the left side died, so... on pair with the chu on that as well lol
that sucks, sorry to hear that man
They probably have accumulated moisture in the "paper" filter under the metal mesh. Solution to this is to remove/puncture/loosen up the filter under the mesh. It solved issue with my pair of Chu's. Had a same issue with Kbear Believe and had to switch to metal filters.
Suck the left side, it'll fix it.
you cant tell me what to do. you arent my real dad.
lmao
CCA CRA has several peaks in the treble that made me unlistenable for me, very artificial
best one for gaming between them ?
Truthears Zero
@@Gizaudio does it have inline microphone?
if not can you suggest some cheap cable with inline microphone
So KZ ZS10 Pros don't make it? I have always heard everyone review them very highly and have been much better than their price for me for about 3 years now.
7Hz Zero vs KZ ZSN pro any thoughts thank you nice video .
Maybe i'll sell my Heart Mirror and buy the Salnotes Zero, i'm not liking the harshness of the treble of those, can't listen in higher volumes.
Anyone here that have both iems, could you help me figuring it out what to do?
Is this guy wearing a toupee
What would you say is the beat footstep gaming audio and positioning?
Buying chu's thanks timmy
Finally bought the Moondrop quarks
Nice video Timmy, I have the chu but don’t like the spring tips. And got chrin’s zero coming in the mail. The end did seem a “bit too long” lol. Have a good one man
lol!
just got the salnotes zero today
amazing detail and balance
I was thinking maybe the base was a little too low so I tried them with my memory foam tips to see if I could get that extra bass and they got just perfect
I bought these IEMs, and I do not really like them.
Love my blon03 but after 8months the right iem is not functioning 😢
I have the CCA CRA but I want to upgrade to a little more balanced iem cause I run a vocal boost on mine right now for Swing or Jazz to sound better. But due to how many genres I listen to, I don't want a vocal focused iem, just balanced.
My friend has the truthear zeros and he said it was balanced and I like the idea of have those subwoofers for Phonk and Hip Hop.
Should I upgrade to the zeros or is there a better option for balance at this price?
What's the decision you made?
Get zero
Coz you tried them all haha
My Tin T2's cable is getting very dry and a little bit stiff, do you think it worth get another cable under 15$ or just get the Zero?
I already have the Leá's, the T3 plus and the Bl 03, but i really enjoy the tuning of the T2, specially for vocals (they sound so smooth).
just get the zero lol
@@Gizaudio Would it be a real improvement over the Leá's or the T3 plus?
I am new in this: What should I choose
1. Salnotes Zero
2. Tangzu Man'er S.G ?
