The 7hz zeroes certainly win that particular scrap.I sold my Truthear Zero as it was uncomfortable due to the nozzle but i can wear the 7h Zero 2 for hours with no issues

IMHO hires is overrated. For my ears at least.
I’m with you, I pay for it so definitely want the capability no matter what anyone says.Exactly, for your ears. I did say it was for those who have hi-res subscription, using the Apple dongle will be a waste of money for them.
Some people says 128 kbps MP3 sounds excellent, some thought CD quality is good enough, but if that’s their standard I don’t expect them to be here. I just thought most of the members here would want something more.
Again, my comment was for hires subscribers who I thought would be the majority here, I was wrong.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but at the low end of "Hi-Res", say 48kHz stereo. That's 2 x channels sampled at 24kHz. So even for a golden-eared young child, that's likely 4kHz of material they physically cannot hear. Is there something beyond the traditional human senses that Hi-Res audio subscriptions offer?Again, my comment was for hires subscribers who I thought would be the majority here, I was wrong.
The same thing that cables costing thousands of bucks offer.Perhaps I'm missing something, but at the low end of "Hi-Res", say 48kHz stereo. That's 2 x channels sampled at 24kHz.

Some subscriptions may offer different masters for some of the Hi-Res files but they usually don't specify which ones.Is there something beyond the traditional human senses that Hi-Res audio subscriptions offer?
Just grabbed a couple pairs and will vouch for them as well.By the way- if anyone cant get on with the stock tips- the AZLA SednaEarfit XELASTEC 2 Pairs (Size L)AZLA SednaEarfit XELASTEC work a treat for me on these. Nice and sticky so they stay put. Size required depends on your ears of course.
I don't know if I have weird ears, but every silicone tip I tried never sealed and IEMs had little to no bass. I finally went with foam tips (Sonicfoam SF1s) and then the IEM world started to make more sense. I was one of the "don't like, don't need, bought the Zero" crowd. Glad I did, so thanks to @amirm for the review. Got the 7Hz Zero (original), then the Zero 2. I like both but prefer the Zero 2s for general listening (seems more rounded to my ears).Tried all the stock tips and dozens of other silicone ones ...
Well, sure. Dog whistle recordings come to mind.Is there something beyond the traditional human senses that Hi-Res audio subscriptions offer?
And TS Eliot plays ...Well, sure. Dog whistle recordings come to mind.
Of course this doesn't really come across so well at 44,100 Hz.JULIA : He was very clever at repairing clocks; And he had a remarkable sense of hearing -- The only man I ever met who could hear the cry of bats.
PETER : Hear the cry of bats?
JULIA : He could hear the cry of bats.
CELIA : But how do you know he could hear the cry of bats?
JULIA : Because he said so. And I believed him.
The 7hz zero 2 has standard sized nozzles, the Truthear zero has a larger nozzle.
I sold my Truthear Zero as it was uncomfortable due to the nozzle but i can wear the 7hz Zero 2 for hours with no issues
On the other hand, I've read reports of the Salnotes Zero 2 inserting narrower and falling out more easily.Must be why the Truthear seem to work better for me, I can push these in more and hold and get better sound.
Which tips do you use?They absolutely excellent...with better tips. No need for anything more.
