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.
Be careful, the recommendations on this channel are 1-2 years out of date, chifi sound quality is improving too fast to go back that far.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!
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.
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.
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😅)

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?
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 .
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 ☺️🙏🏼
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
They use a somewhat standard conector, you can get Bluetooth adapters of various characteristics, but good ones often times cost more than the earphones
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
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.
@@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.
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
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.
@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.
@@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
Crinacle would rank that thumbnail as S-tier 😎😁
Inspired by jays audio??
@@cosmo57 jays audio wasn't the first people to made any Matrix parody.

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

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

How are the blues holding up?
Blue is my choice since it had a more subwoofer feel but the red is better for everyone
3:32 tws modules like Fiio UTWS5 and what I have, Ifi Go Pod turn my IEMs into wireless
that intro was GOLD
Anybody know if these are better than the kz zar & 7hz sonus?
They are big as heeell... not for regular ears size tbh. I'm wondering if you think of doing some EPZ's iem reviews.❤
Have you used Moondrop free dsp cable yet? I bet it'll pair nicely with the red.
Love the thumbnail! 😆

fudu verse 1 i love those or aria 2 or pula pa02(sound so good) or s12 pro
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?
Try the red with 4.4 balanced wires .. its sounds great. Its just that it needs power to drive.
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 .
Got the blue zero, they are very cool
I wish you would provide more sound test with different eartips.

Blue for gaming
Red for music
What if u need both?
FreshReviews actually recommended reds for gaming)
@@MrGlaicer No he don't lol. He recommends the OG zero's which are the blue ones
I prefer Red for both. The bass boost and sharper ear-gain don't benefit gaming in my opinion in a way that matters.
So should i buy blue? My main task is gaming
Cuales consideran que son mejor para Gaming?, quisiera comprarle los dos, pero solo me alcanza para uno.
¿Azul o rojo?
Para shooters y competitivos los red, y para el resto los blue.
@Enkibebidas gracias por su mensaje
I enjoyed the thumbnail more than I probably should. I think I'm too deep in the rabbit hole already, lol.
🤣😂
Is there a way to add Bluetooth capabilities changing the cable? That would be great!
yes, TRN BT20/30, Moondrop Evo, Fiio UTWS3,5
you can always grab a bluetooth adapter from fiio or hiby, but these are best used wired

Bluetooth degrades sound quality.
Yeah I had to use gate cable to red

Not the worst sound, but definitely there are more better iem for that price
crintastic
FOR game which is better
Red
@@menschmaschine7808 not at all. blue has better directional audio
@@Watskeburt ok sorry. I thaught that the reds are better for gaming. I saw a few videos about that topic.

how no chi fi reviewer figure the matrix parody I wonder jajaj excellent
Which one better for fps games like valorant?
Red
blue
I appreciate the Matrix and Pokemon mentions. Pretty good stuff.
And the zero 2
Vanessa, you sure speak with your hands.
Well I was confused between both that's why I bought both 😂
insightful 😀😀
"Ray-tings"? I thought it was always "AR-tings"? I really am in a simulation.
Surprise!
This channel is based and red pilled
agreed
Why would you say that the cable wraps around your ear? That's what happens in every IEM.
Alternatively, get the Blues and eq to reds for freedom of choice :)
The reds have less distortion so the other way around would be the way to go
Truthear gate just came out too!
how is it?

Red is way to bassy just got them today returning them
Back … waiting for the blues

Buy Red
aria is so outdated fr people need to move on from it and try out these crins, the recent simgots, etc
the intro xDD
O the intro
❤HEXA
1:18 nice joke

Cringenacle, both are safe tuning nothing special.
What do you mean? Exactly
He means they follow the Harmon curve or something similar, with very little exotic tuning curves,

@@quochuynguyen764 Well i agree but simgot is not that big of a game changer in sound quality. U can buy 3 zero's for 1 simgot
please check out the Simgot EA 500 LM
