Many words have been written in this forum about the Crinacle x Truthear Zero, and how cheap it is for its sound.
Now as some of you surely know, there is also another "Zero" for an even cheaper price - 7hz Salnotes Zero.
I guess many people have not even realized yet that these are not the same.
The sound signature looked like it could be my taste, and I gave it a try. I paid 22,90 Euro.
And I must say that I am pretty much mindblown. As I said in another topic, the Harman IEM Target is too harsh and "hollow" for my taste.
This is the first IEM / Headphone ever where I dont feel the need to EQ anything. Even though I am quite nitpicky I think.
Some people say that the lack of "resolution" is the reason to invest more money. But it all depends on what you want.
Basically, the 7hz Zero is a Sennheiser HD 650ish headphone in IEM form. It does sound rather warm than "edgy", but it just sounds very correct, not only for its price.
If something unforseen happens and I needed to sell everything on order to save money, this would still suffice.
It almost feels like a joke at the expense of those who spend thousands of dollars on audio equipment.
In a way it reminds me of what Crinacle said in a video about amplifiers. He showed an Apple Dongle and said: This is fine.
You can pay more if you like, but it is not really a big step upwards from there. The same goes for this IEM.
The same goes for the comfort and the build quality. It feels sturdy and it is absolutely alright.
The cable is particularly good: It is neither microphonic nor has it the tendency to knot itself.
