"20-30$ options like 7hz zero2 or tangzu waner will sound much better than what you have in every way you can imagine for not much money"


"It's relaxing & non-distracting at low volumes, fun at higher volumes."


"I really like the Zero 2 since it has decently detailed yet relaxing musical sound signature which I can enjoy for hours. ... Perhaps the Zero 2 needs to go into the record books for having a very nicely executed relaxing sound signature"

r/iemsbest iems for gaming?
6 months ago

Iems flatlined after the 7HZ Zero 2 came out. You're either choosing your flavour of BA timbre machines, or a solid single DD like the Zero 2. And scientifically there is no way to measure or evidence that hybrids are better.  Guys please stop downvoting this, it's a fact, argue your point instead of being salty. Provide proof hybrids are better and Dynamics arent adequate. I have also tried like a dozen ~100 to 600 dollar iems. And a few kilobucks. 

r/iemswhat is the most sonically accurate iem under 300
4 months ago

Scientifically measurable accuracy or tuning accuracy? These are very different questions. The 7HZ Zero 2 probably measures, by our best scientific standards, more accurately then the Blessing 3. But people will think the Blessing 3 is better because driver count and subjective opinion about the sound (Harsher = better. Not sure I ever understood that. I guess some people like zingy highs)

Still actually the 7HZ Zero 2. Bunnys spike in the uppers are not fun, Castor pro bass is a bit odd but enjoyable at least, waner 2 is tooo vocal.  Pure and hexa are mid. Pure neither has enjoyable bass or mids. Hexa is shouty. EM6L is thin. Explorer is dark asf. The only one of these I've had moments of "Oh shit" and jumping up because I thought the sound was next to me, was from the Zero 2. My collection goes into the kilobucks

Scammy companies making dozens of models to confuse people so they buy lots?  What else goes on. The simplest solution is 7HZ Zero 2. Then call it a day. Don't get scammed I am saying this from experience, I got up to monarch mk3

For something cheap and widely appealing the zero 2 are excellent Different iems have different sound signatures, some more niche that others so even if they're good quality they might not be the right fit for you

i'd still go for something like zero 2 for the sound signature. generally more suitable for the genre imo and on average a more widely appealing signature accessories are great on wan'er 2 but tuning comes first, accessories are a nice bonus though

closer to 20$ 7hz zero 2. very widely appealing sound signature that covers many music libraries. commonly a default blind buy rec for new comers for 30$ (atleast on black friday) i'd take advantage of the sale and go for kefine kleans. they'll be a stepup from the cheapie 20$ sets, cadenza is generally considered a sidegrade to the 20$ cheapie sets with diff tuning (though still a very nice set as well)

gk kuntens. can be found <15$ with sound quality that punches to 50$ to many ears. widely appealing allrounder so budget + soundwise they're a good safe blind buy 7hz zero 2 - if the kuntens aren't available, safe all rounder as well wan'er 2 or tanchjim bunny - if you want vocals to shine kz duonic - if you love alot of bass

r/iemsNeed recommendations for first set of IEMs
about 1 month ago

gk kunten currently you can pretty easily find for <15$. to a good amount of ears it punches to the 50$\~ price range (ymmv), and comes with an engaging but still balanced tuning that most people will find appealing and does well for any library which is great for a first blind buy set not to mention its cheap price. 7hz zero 2 i'd go for if kunten isn't available for you. tuning is more or less a similar story with kunten, engaging but balanced and well rounded. another excellent choice for a first set \- from there you can more establish your preferences like oh, maybe i'd want more/less bass, treble, etc if you want to commit to a more expensive set

Alright so everybody here has an opinion, most of them based on "trust me bro". There is a bunch of ~20usd iems, all of them having very similar tuning (tuning is ALL that matters in the sound of earphones/headphones). A lot of them, because they are cheap, come with bad cables that break over time (cables are usually the nost fragile thing on this stuff). Thus I would recommend the Truthear Gate, it comes with a cable that is far better than even cables that vome with iems costing 5x the price. Under 100usd, I would recommend the the Truthear Pure. It is tuned to be what we call neutral now (jm1 and -1db/Oct. Tilt), leaning a bit warm. KZ is... questionable. Some praise it for its price to performance, others hate it. What we are certain about is that they do not sound *objecitevly* correct, not even close to it sometimes. On top of that, they got questionable QC... and marketing practices (paying reviewers, silent revisions for the worse...) 7hz Salnotes Zero:2 - is a good option with a solid tuning, but many find it uncomfortable. Edit: The moondrop chu2 is also a solid option, but I would still go for the Gate.

At this stage just roll a dice and get that one because everything would be an upgrade compared to 5bucks iem.imo the safest would be zero 2 cus its just neutral with bass boost then start exploring from there.

Up until now I've been listening to 7HZ x Crinacle Zero:2, they have a lot of bass and might be tiring for long sessions. So I ordered Kiwi Ears Cadenza for myself. They are quite similar to Tangzu Wan'er. In any case, Tangzu Wan'er or Moondrop Chu II will be a very great option for any ears.
