You can try truthear zero blue 2 around 6.5k
Yeah but personally I like the blue 2 more. I had the ew300 don't know why but they never really felt comfortable to me. Currently I own an em6l and truthear blue 2 both I like more than the ew300.
Simgot is a bit smoother but personally I like the truthear blue 2 more. The two are close enough that you will find people that like one but not the other. Ofcourse the shape and size is a big factor in that.
I've been using the RED for mixing and stuff (its just a hobby I'm not making anything commercial) and they have been serviceable (mixes always sounded pitchy in high ends when listening on different devices to me tho) but the cable that it came with is busted and dead. I've tried contacting Truthear but their email support is not answering and checked places to get different replacement cables but all of them ship for crazy amount of cash. Finally found a shop online that sends at normal shipping prices IEMs and i've seen and read online that Salnotes Zero are good and i guess enough for what what i'd use them? I liked the sound of the REDs which are considered neutral (?) but before that i've been using the AKG K240 headphones and got "better" mixes out of them, but for medical reasons i can't use them anymore. Now my question is, are the Salnotes good/would it be good for my needs but also should i spend more on something better (I really dont want to spend more than 100 bucks with shipping) ? Should i get the REDs again? EDIT: Also another thing to note, the RED that i have have their shell broken but they are working, i'd just need to get new cable for them but im not sure how to get a 3rd party replacement for them. Any help would be appreciated. The site where i'm thinking to buy from has limited cables. Tripowin Zombur seems the only one that are worth looking at since the other cables are just the amount of the Salnotes or more expensive than them.
Yeah i found Tripowin Zombur which i can get and it seems they are fine for the RED (?) Also are the Zero 2 any different? Seems like they are kinda similar to the RED one's but have the low end boosted? I'm not sure for how long the RED's are gonna work since the shell itself is beat up and broken but functionally they are totally fine, its just the cable that's dead. Also [hangout.audio](http://hangout.audio) is the place where i was thinking to buy which i guess its fine since its Crinacles site?
Gotcha, i guess i should go with Hexa over RED again if my REDs die?
you can usually get decent 10$\~ cables from amazon or aliexpress. just look for 0.78mm 2-pin cables. tripowin, xinhs, nicehck, kbear are good brands zero's are abit brighter in the treble versus the reds which might exacerbate the pitchy highs issues you're hearing rn. reds are also generally just a step up from the cheapie 20$ sets like zero i'd opt for the cable
much more boosted low end then reds get the cable from wherever is convenient with good shipping + prices + selection, most usually getting from alieexpress, linsoul, amazon. if hangout works for you then get from hangout
ye tuning mismatch between the iem and your preferences. was it the original zero blue or the zero reds. zero are also known for their pretty bad fit for a good amount of people with really chunky nozzles. if the blues weren't bassy enough for you you're probably a basshead and would enjoy something like 7hz legato
truthear zero have some of the fattest nozzles in mainstream iems and cause discomfort issues for a good amount of people <50$ for gaming kefine klean is the best you can do, has a usb-c mic version. if you dont wnat usbc then you'll have to spend 10-15$\~ on a mic cable like tripowin grace
I am currently using the truthear PURE as my main, I am personally not a basshead but i feel the PURE is a right balance for me. I did try alot of IEMs like the truthear crincle red , chu 2 , zero 2, truthear hexa, simgot ew300 , but i chose the PURE as it sounded better than the rest to me its is the most balanced option that fit in my price range
I recently switched over to an entry level pair of in-ear monitors (IEM) and a Sennheiser condensator microphone. Total cost including boom arm was under 200 €. I got the truthear x crinacle zero: red and they are great. Cable. Is detachable and not proprietary but with a standardized connector so easy to replace if I ever have a problem with it. Sound quality is great as well and no more head dent from wearing a headset for extended gaming sessions. It took some time getting used to wired headphones after years of wireless but now it's totally fine and the sound quality is better than any gaming headset I ever had
What i personally own: Kefine Klean (black version) fairly "safe" harman tuning sturdy metal shell tuning nozzles nice cable for the price nice case included Tangzu Wan'er S.G "meta" tuning for cheap (warm neutral) shell feels cheap and empty (it being transparent doesn't do it any favors) very basic accessories Truthear Zero:RED neutral tuning (crinacle target) decent quality shell terrible fit for a lot of people (huge nozzle) comes with an impedance adapter for more bass KZ Castor (Bass) actually has a bassy tuning has a bunch of dipswitches to tune it feels cheap (even cheaper than the tangzu wan'er sg) terrible stock cable bulky Moondrop Chu (first version) sound really nice didn't survive too long, oxidation issues If i had to keep just one: Kefine Klean Best accessories, quality feel, overall just a very nice deal
