Edited so it doesn't read as grouchy.I guess what I'm getting at is can the OG Zero's be considered a reference model without any EQ? I know this is kind of getting into the debate of fidelity vs. listenability...
Tastes are very personal, but I can say that after listening to my OG Zeros (with very minimal EQ that I could easily dispense with) almost every day for over a year now, I'm still astonished by how utterly neutral, natural, and realistic they sound to me. It almost seems like cheating to be able to get this stellar quality of sound by plugging a $20 IEM into my phone.I guess what I'm getting at is can the OG Zero's be considered a reference model without any EQ?

Try the Zero 2 and you should like it a lot. 25 USD, not much, worth a shot.Didn't even realize these were reviewed or that there was a v2 out. I used oratory filters inside of Realphones to correct these. Without that they sound too bass-light but otherwise pretty satisfying. I wouldn't say that they give me perfect translation as far as that goes but they're my primary headphone/earbud currently. The other ones I have are the Etymotic ER2SE and those are ok also. I guess I'm more of a speaker person if I had to choose. Either that or I've yet to find a headphone/IEM that rocks my world.
Well said. Since you have The Tanchjim One on hand, if you use EQ, have you tried the official EQ presets posted here? https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...ds/tanchjim-one-iem-review.50793/post-1843230I just received and tried this IEM wich only cost me 13 EUR!
Man, what I have to say...
They sound better than any IEM I had... Better than Moondrop Starfield wich was 130EUR, Final Audio A4000 wich was also at that price, better than Sennheiser IE100 Pro, better than KZ ZS10, better than Tanchjim One and Zero wich are incredible in quality price performance, better than Fiio Jade JD3, better than Sennheiser CX (cheap versions) wich I loved a lot when I wasn't in to this of headphones and the sound I remember from them was perfect, and also better than Senn CX 300 (wich for the price I remember I didn't like them). Incredible IEM for real the sound is awesome I highly recommend it to anyone... I think better performance than Salnotes Zero could be3 things or 1- really really hard to find, 2- you can get 3% to 5% better or some nearly indistinguishable better performance or 3- not possible to get better than this even if you buy flagships.
This one was really a discovery for real... For example the IE100PRO wich was my favorite IEM I had wich I sold because of the to much mid bass they had really surprised me in comparasion of all the IEM I had and thought it was really hard to find some IEM wich had that good sound but when I tried this I experienced what good really is and without that rare low mid bass eq the IE100 PRO.
Thank you amirm again for your greatly informative reviews and recommendations.![]()
Yesterday I downloaded Neutron Player (the trial version), when I have a little moment I'll configure the preset and give you my thoughtsWell said.

Either way the original 7Hz Zero is very good indeed.

From AliExpress, shipped to Spain.Where did you get them for 13 EUR?
From AliExpress, shipped to Spain.
I checked out again today and now the most cheap is 16 EUR. (16.90 for cable version) (it is the same store that sold them to me for 13EUR a week ago)
You could also get this for 7EUR, which is crazy... But I can't seem to find them no more at that price. It was a special promotion for new users.
There's a guy in this thread (on the previous page) that bought the Salnotes Zero for 4 bucks, crazy deal, you pay 4 bucks and get an IEM that in terms of sound is better than some overpriced ones wich can cost you 300$ xdThank you. I got various items for 1.86 each (shower head, pocket watch, kalimba) so nothing seems crazy anymore

And breakfast was like what?Bought these before realizing the newer model came out and was too lazy to refuse delivery from Amazon.
Ask Basic Channel; we went out together.And breakfast was like what?

Sorry for the late response, I had tried the One with the EQ and it was great for some genres like electronic music where the bass drop all time like techno, they were like a subwoofer in your ears and also it made me feel the music more when I was trying the music, maybe for the bass experience. And for some vocal genres I prefered the stock curve. However I only tried them with EQ on the stock eartips. If you like Tanchjim One I highly recommend buying Spinfit W1, in my case MS size. The thing is, with stock eartips no eq they're great just low end can sound strange in some songs, with the EQ mentioned they get subbass roll where you enjoy some songs af but is not intented for all genres, but with the W1 no EQ in my opinion they get an underated lowend, it sound great, just as great as make you forget you are listening through equipment and only make you listen the actual song, I highly recommend them, but as you know sound is subjective. Now what I need is to try the EQ set with this eartips but neutron trial finished and I'm by far happy with foobar and aimp. The thing is I've got an endgame that isn't uncomfortable to put on (no over ear cable), that also have detachable cable and that build quality and looks is awesome. In my case I'm running with 3.5mm version, I think dsp and 3.5mm sound different so be careful if you pretend to buy W1.Well said.
