I second this. I had the original Blues and got the Blue2's for the smaller canal. It was my only complaint about them.

I ordered them yesterday and received them a few hours ago, they are incredible! Thanks so much for your support. I’m blown away by the sound quality, i can hear things i never noticed before.

Yes, I got them! As someone who wasn’t an IEM user before, I was blown away by the sound quality — absolutely amazing! I can highly recommend them!

TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero:BLUE is probably one of my favorite IEMs for gaming that is under $100. Now if you want to spend more then i would go with the Ziigaat Arete. They are the best IEM i have used that are amazing for gaming.

r/iemsBest out of these as first IEM ?
11 months ago

kiwi ears cadenza are the best among the above. i would say just slightly lift your budget and get the truthear zero blue 1. in they are only (500 INR) difference. for where i live atleast.

r/iemsNew here, got my first iems

the truthear zero is a better choice .

r/iemsNew here, got my first iems

no? the bass is definitely better on the truthear zero blue og, imo it is better

r/iemsNew here, got my first iems
10 months ago

not twice as much but i believe that paying that extra price gives you far better experience. using truthear zero after using kiwi ears cadenza feels like a massive upgrade. the sub 20-30 dollar market is just not that good considering if you pay 10-15 extra. you get a far better iem

r/iemsAre IEMs really good for gaming? I have a doubt.
10 months ago

I’m following the trend of IEMs as a gamer of Black ops 6. I started low budgets : KZ 10 pro, Chu 2 and QKZ x HBB. Then I decided to try the famous Truthear Zero OG. The reasons: 1. I don’t like headsets on my head and hair. 2. The trend hype Compared to a gaming headset I have less boom subwoofer immersion effect. But I have a more clear sound for sure. Regarding footstep and space visualization, I’m not sure is really better. To be honest I’m starting to thing that my Koss KPH40 is not the best compris. Is there something I’m missing here or you are gonna say that I need to access the next level of IEMs to understand. Are the Moondrops Dusk to next level and I would feel it? Am I going to get long and beautiful bass immersion ? Or should I actually just go back to gaming headset like Ace zone ?

r/iemsAre IEMs really good for gaming? I have a doubt.

It’s for gaming only. And the QKZ x HBB have indeed bass but the rest is not clear at all. I would have expected that the ZERO OG would have good bass and balanced with the rest.

They sure do! The lack of bass in the og, they fixed it and made it right in the 2nd one

r/iemsAre IEMs really good for gaming? I have a doubt.

because u have bad iems? sry to be the "you are gonna say that I need to access the next level of IEMs to understand" hypebeast and dont want to shit on something like the Chu or Zero OG, coz they shaped the budget category what it is today but the iem industry moves so fast these have become obsolete. >!From what u have, I also have tried are Zero OG and QKZxHBB, both are my favs, but not for gaming. TxC 0 is my EDM and movie king, which has better than average gaming performance, especially when u consider the tuning is so rumbly. TBH even Crin wasn't able to copy (gaming wise)whatever he did on the OG set to the sequel.!<>!QKZ HBB is such a lovely budget HBB tuning, when it launched the ultra budget category was filled with kz treble trashfest, honestly never got into iems before due to the bright/"audiophile" tuning. Even today's meta tuning is slipping towards the bass boost n its good to see the change. Random adhd symptoms aside, I had mentioned to FreshReviews too that the QKZ HBB sounds way too wide compared to most IEMs so much so it comes off as inaccurate, paired with the bass which makes it too fuzzy for bad games \[by bad I mean bad boomy sound design, ex Apex and Val, works perfectly on CSGO, I have no idea about BO6 but I've heard it is not the best optimised sound\]!< I'd say you should sell all but one iem. Or gift them to sm1 if u don't like selling. Then go for the ultra cheap, Tripowin Vivace -->and later on upgrade to the Ziigaat Lush or whatever the current hotcake is.

r/IndianGamingIEM's or Headphones with mic for PC gaming in 5k.
10 months ago

Sorry op i am late =_= I made an iem tier list for india out of Fresh's list ik this is late but all the people who gave u reccs are wrong(except that 1 recc for T xC 0). The best IEMs under 5k would be the Tripowin Vivace or the Truthear Crinacle Zero (Blue 1/OG) The Vivace honestly sounds better than the Hyper X Cloud 2 for gaming. Cable length wouldn't matter as such because u can buy an extender or replace the cable for something longer, since IEMs are modular it's easy to do. But the Vivace and with whatever money u are left get a seperate mic, I know it's cumbersome but the quality and versatility u get from like a usb mic is way better than most headphones with inbuilt mic List: https://www.reddit.com/r/MayankJ/s/Sy2Ng19cU3

r/iemsIEM for Gaming and Music with Good Bass
10 months ago

Agree with the other comment, Truthear x Crinacle Zero (Blue/OG not the blue 2) if u want a bassy set. The cheapest would be the Tripowon Vivace and a good budget set would be the Kefine Delci AE (normal isn't as good according to reviews, AE is better) In terms of gaming performance n price: 1. Kefine Delci AE (V shape) 2. Truthear x Crinacle Zero (Bassy/U) 3. Tripowin Vivace (V shape)

Aful Explorer, or any other lower pinna gain set. Truthear Zero (og), the other side of the coin for me, shouty and harsh.

r/iemsBest IEM under $50 in 2025? Looking for recommendations
8 months ago

For the type of sound you are looking for the KZ Zenith, natural sounding, smooth treble and spacious, the bass can be tweaked a bit with the switches for me they are comfortable but they can be on the heavy side for some. Around $50 I tried or have the Kefine Delci, Klean, TE Zero, Zero: RED, T10 and EW300, the EW300 is a close second but I like the treble and sense of space of the Zenith a bit more. Also a DAC/dongle is recommended because they are low impedance devises and that assures that you hear the correct sound and consistency between sources, it can be a low cost CX31993 or similar, there no need for more.
