Interesting take as I heard some other members preferring longer tips for the Zero 2 :) Also, with the Spring tips, I do advise sizing up a little to retain a good seal due to their soft and shallow nature
Hey I was the one who mentioned the Chu 2 :D Chu 2 has more desirable nozzle length for sure, but it shreds some of my ear tips as you might have read and I still prefer the Zero 2 with regards to sound
Ye I have bought hyped stuff costing much more that don't suit me- we learn from the pain :')
Although the Zero 2 still seals well for me, I totally agree that its fit and nozzle length is noticeably more problematic than the average IEM. Also, it's true that Simgot IEMs are known for being bright
Can't agree with this enough! Also, tip sizing isn't standardized across the different tip brands, and even if their exact diameter is provided, not all tips of similar diameters seal identically due to different physical material properties and shapes. The resulting effect on seal and depth of...
Hmm to put things into perspective, I've tried over 50 different types of tips on my Zero 2 without a single fault thus far. On some of my other IEMs, like the Whizzer HE01 and Moondrop Chu II, some of my tips get shredded or ripped and instantly/eventually destroyed due to relatively sharp...
As someone who wears glasses I'll have to disagree :) It is extremely hard to find a headphone that seals well stock, and changing the pads more often than not screws over the entire frequency response. For iems, I just have to grab a cheap well measuring one like this Zero 2 (or one that is...
You mentioned that these offer 85-90% of what really expensive iems would. How are these numbers derived? What would that extra 10-15% consist of? Are these numbers obtained through level-matched blind listening tests? If you'd only give these a "Fine" rating despite their performance to price...
It is not about fit, but rather about the housing design (they fit securely enough in my ears to not fall out even if I shake my head vigorously, and I have also tried them with over 50 different pairs of ear tips, none of which addressed the issues I mentioned)
I get you; I am sensitive to treble peaks/resonances too. Hence the reason I love pairing the spring fit tips with these, as later proven by peak-free measurements shared by another member
I have the space travel, I think they are decent in terms of sound quality. Add in the features and they are awesome for their price- at least on paper. For although the noise cancelling is effective to some extent, the design of the iem housing does not seem to isolate at all, allowing plenty...
