Do the zero reds compare to the OG(blue version) crinnacle zeros? If I upgrade from the OG’s it will likely to be something in a higher price bracket but I would like to know anyway.
Hi I don’t have an IEM recommendation for ya, but I have tried the Bluetooth IEM cables and they work great! You are taking a very very big source quality hit though, so you likely wont get a ton of value pairing them with an amazing IEM.
I have them and I disagree fully. The wan'er is significantly more balanced and even if they were to cost $5-10 more than the chu 2 I'd go with the wan'er
@@hartyewh1 I can see that. For the chu 2 and me, the sub-bass impacts the lower mid range too much for my tastes and ears. It might just be due to how resolving my other iem’s are, so when I’m in a situation where I use my chu 2 they sound bad to me. I have them in my backpack as a backup when I commute
$1k range has so much good competition.. If you were to pick a stand out in $1k territory, what would it be? Very informative, appreciate these kind of video, especially with sets that are lesser known :) Thanks 🙏
@ZReviews push Dunu to release the SA6 ultra again! Make it different colors or something to make it different than the limited edition run. I want them real bad!
The conch is basically a better zero red. It's 35 dollars with abt as much value if not more than the zero red. With different tuning nozzles that actually differentiate the sound
they have 2 different tunings...conch (similar with ew200 and has a slight improvement on the technical aspect) has a bright tuning and Red is quite dark and does have the ief neutral tuning. But one thing is for sure conch can be considered a sub 100 usd iem.
I just started in the iem, but I started out oddly. My friend lent me his Trailli for a while. And then I obviously couldn't afford a pair so I got the truthear reds and they're good. But then he gifted me the UM FS. I just ordered the NicehK Himalaya I'm waiting to receiving them. Obviously nothing is as good as The UM FS but I like to experience different sound profiles.
I tried searching TH-cam to see if you'd reviewed the Empire Ears Raven yet, but didn't see anything from you yet. They have _tactile transducers_ in them, and are allegedly incredibly fun while also being incredibly revealing. Do you have any thoughts on them, Gizaudio?
@@tedidaniels8302 bassy - cca rhapsody or trio Vocals - Rhapsody for male. EPZ Q1 Pro - female. Male is also nice just less husky. Both of these destroy the waner in term of technicality.
Top level for me goes to the Alpha/Omega: OMEGA! I have the Elysian Annihilator 2023 Titanium, and 27 other IEM's and headphones and none of them sound as beautiful as the Omega's. They are very hard to find but if you get a chance to try them, I think it will be love ! :)
I have some question. I remember the film about iems that being good for classical music and there were sa6 and monarch mkii. How is it now? Monarch mkii is significantly better than sa6 mkii (I mean specially for classical music, in details, resolution, separation etc.(I like listening symphonies, so those aspects are important for me)) or maybe this difference is not too big now? Maybe some new film about great iems for classical music?
What do you consider is the best for gaming and a mic? specially for a smaller ear. I use samsung bud pro 2 and it hurts my ear after a couple of hours.
ngl, best gaming headset if you want in something in sub $100 is Koss KSC75. As for a mic, it really doesn't matter because the games' intercoms will compress it and it never sounds good on discord, neither. Might as well embrace the funny and get an xbox mic from 2007 LOL
What’d be the best for gaming you’d say? I’m tired of headsets and need one for competitive gaming, maybe a video worthy content since a lot of people are switching to IEMS for competitive games like valorant/cs
Dude, there's only one or two spot for each price, of course most IEMs won't make the list. If I include all the options I get suggested in the comments I would have 5-10 "best" per price. Which is not the point of the video.
Hi everyone, I'm new to the IEM space, when getting something like the truthear zero x crinacle, would a DAC be necessary? I'm thinking of switching from my Logitech G Pro headset as it's quite fatiguing on my head, and want to try IEM's. I could plug into the dongle I have for my G pro headset and use G hub (idk if that's very frowned upon but it seems like it should work) or as another alternative I could buy an extension cable to plug directly into the back of my b450 gaming ROG motherboard. Anyone got any advice? PS. sorry if I'm speaking of horrible unspoken things haha, I'm new :)
You don’t need DAC for that… DAC is like extra power for your IEM if you want extra sound/knob to blast your ear, or if you think its still to low for your preference. Just plug and play is already good (for me)
why didnt you mention ARTTI R2 Iems which are one of the best in 50 dollar catagory...if u have not reviewed yet plz make a review and share how it performs against zero red
Pula PA02, CLKVX D41, Sliivo SL41, Juzear 41T... At this point I don't even care anymore if they actually are all sub-brands that refer to Myer Audio or else (I wouldn't be surprised if as we are talking about it they are preparing another twin set to be released on the market lol)... In doubt, I just got a pair. At 130€ on sale this last few days they were a no-brainer buy, can't wait to try them once they arrive (I just hope they will fit my ears well, being some sort of a "chonky Performer 5")...

Worst IEM at every price range
What about third best? Need to be made too?
@@mr.smithers8435^ this
my suggestion would be put at least 3 iem under each price bracket , 1 is not enough
then its not number one best for its price, no?
1 is not enough for what?

@@vansion2510so then, top 3?
then how tf would it be "best"?
I'd suggest you to make such video with suggestions of different types of sound signatures for each price range.
The storm is also discontinued, the version that is going to go for sale again will be different. As for the sa6mk2, you should try the sliivo slt6
The shell will be made slightly differently, not hand painted anymore, perhaps different design. Otherwise it should be the same IEM
Confirmed this with the owners at CanJam SG. Only the faceplate is downgraded and simplified to keep costs down. Everything else is the same.
Number one iem in the world I have heard, which almost brought me to tears (not literally) is the Subtonic Storm. Words cannot describe. I struggled describing it because it's just, flavour less but yet so emotional. Sound is sound as it is in real life. That to me is called perfection in tonality. If you ever get a chance to try it, jump on it.
Heres my list (each price point has a noticeable upgrade) :Chu 2 DSP, ew200, hexa, chopin, hype 4/studio4, ejo7m/supernova, helios/crimson, u12t/cadenza 12, annihilator, subtonic storm/7th acoustics asteria.
Which is better chopin or origin? 🥺
Ew200 or EM6L?? Also EM6L or hexa??
What's your take on canpur 622b?
Here I humbly request an update for the “Best IEMs for Metal” tier list :)
It's on the list of videos I'll do soon!
"I aint paying that" 🤣🤣🤣
Best for me: under $50: Tanya DSP, under $100: Olina SE, under $150: Acoustune RS One.
I don't rank the zero red that highly.... it's just bland and has no detail. Prefer the Wan'er over it. Definitely agree the SA6 is fantastic

Simgot - EW200 or Zero Red?
I didn't like the truthear zero red at all, I thought the ew200 is much better
I agree 💯. Had the Zero: 2 and was lame tuning, the ew200 totally destroyed it. Crinacle EQ is overrated
