If it can help you, for me, with the Zero, I use the medium size of the tip provided, but for the Hola I have to use the biggest size of the tip provided.Tried 4 of the pairs supplied. Will try some more

You mention reducing upper bass with EQ, are you using the included wide-bore tips for your evaluation?These things sure have substantial bass output indeed, but I prefer them with a notch to the upper bass as to make the response more Harman-like. But it's very nice not having to boost the low end at all. But, I can't really come to grips with the treble, they sound sibilant to me, and so I don't think these will get much use from me. The sibilance surprised me, as the measurements do not look like these would be sibilant at all.
Shame, as the fit and comfort is good. I quite like the low weight of them, but I guess that also gives them a bit of a cheap feel.
How does it sound EQing the upper mids up a bit, e.g. 3.1dB at 2450Hz, Q=2.2? ThanksMy Hola arrived today, I will give my quick impressions.
Nice shell shape, fits my ears like a glove. Very nice cable. Good accessories for $20. Decent details, vocals slightly relaxed. It has a presentation with good body and smack. I can tell that the V is relaxed per measurements. And of course excellently extended sub-bass. ML size wide bore tips give me good seal, hopefully they stay grippy. Don't bother with narrow bore tips unless you are a bass head. Compared to Kiwi Cadenza it has better detail, less washyness, better excitement with Rock songs. I'm keeping this set, I feel like it should be a safe recommendation at $20 to say the least. Bassheads can conveniently use narrow bore tips, the change in sound is substantial.
More aggressive rock guitars. Less chesty vocals, more head voice. Washy on cymbals. I prefer without, especially on bright produced rock Like Red Hot Chilli Peppers - By the Way. It mostly improves female vocals like Katy Perry - I Kissed a Girl.How does it sound EQing the upper mids up a bit, e.g. 3.1dB at 2450Hz, Q=2.2? Thanks
Thank you, your brilliant comment made me realized what I was doing wrong.Maybe it's the nozzle angle

I have exactly the same problem. My theory is that since it is small it does reach deep enough in the ar canal to create a seal. Spinfit tips fixed that issue for me. I still don't like them.When looking at them it is hard for me to understand why getting a good seal/great sound with the Zero is very easy, but with the Hola, it is almost impossible.
If I press them with my fingers when they play, I get a full scale sound, but as soon as I release them, they sound good but missing lower octave. I tried many tips, including the tips from the Zero, but never reached the level of seal I naturally get with the Zero.
How can the same brand produce such differently ergonomic item?
I personally find it hard to speak of "comfort" with regard to the Salnotes Zero. Horrible fit with every included eartip I tried so far. The Truthear Zeroes are quite comfy though. And sound much better too.Comfort is similar to the 7Hz Zero.

I had the same feeling. Try the wide bore tips, they change a little upper treble. I'm using mine with Spring Tips from Moondrop, it's better but little more of treble would be welcome.If the Hola's treble was more evenly neutral, it'd be the best tuned IEM I own.
The tips come in 2 different sized bores which supposedly modify the treble; I'm sceptical but did you give it a go and find any differences? I own the Wan'er and was surprised also that something in the treble sounds more prominent than graphed but fortunately doesn't come across as a hot spot for my ears.I got my hands on the Tangzu Waner today. I'm looking for a set that sounds like Moondrop Lan+EQ but stock, and graphs indicated Waner is a candidate. Evaluated here with stock white(wide-bore) medium-large tips
Waner does a lot right with regards to tuning, I can tell on first listen. That's why it's unfortunate it's issue is a treble that has hot spot that tires my ears. It's not as bad as some KZ sets I've tried, but enough to put me off.
The Waner is an extremely hyped budget set. It's probably still a good way to show off how much you get from an inexpensive IEM these days. In comparision Hola comes off a more well rounded product. Holas cable is very good too, the Waner's is cheap and tangle prone.
This is my ranking against other budget sets I've owned, from best to worst:
Truthear Hola, 7Hz Zero, Waner, Kiwi Cadenza, Moondrop Quarks DSP, CCA CRA v2.
