TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero Red

Yes I ordered one as well - I imagine @amirm will get one and measure it so I want to be prepared :D

I wonder will it sound like the kiwi ears orchestra lite that I am currently using as my daily driver. I like it more than the original zero and some other IEMs that I have tried

Looks great. I use the Zero at work, so it looks like my work iem is getting an upgrade!
 
Yeah, looks pretty nice with the impedance adapter and the price is fair. I have enough IEMs with close enough tuning for now, otherwise I'd pick it up.
I like the idea of including the adapter, might convert some believers of "audiophile sound = less bass" if they give it a try it just because it's there ;)
 
ASR readers are primarily interested in measurable specs. To me this appears to infringe on the red.org trademarks.

I mean watch the video. He talks about the Harmon curve and tuning preferences. He also states the Red has less harmonic distortion and takes EQ better. I think it is worthy and interesting as it is pretty much the Truthear x Crinacle v 2.0 or the 2023 edition.
 
Here is his graph comparison tool.

Similar to the Monarch Mk2, but we will need to see if it keeps up w/ technicalities~

Please, those 'technicalities' do not exist. An IEM is a minimum phase device, frequency reponse entails everything (besides noise and distortion).
So you just need a 5$ IEM and have your endgame? :rolleyes:

What about human perception of sound, is it also minimum phase and time-invariant?
 
If you use the Bass+ Option, it is closer to the Clairvoyance. (That said, I would likely still prefer the Clairvoyance.)

When I heard red I expected to see flamboyant lipstick color, but this red looks like antique furniture.

Ordered!
 
The treble response looks too uneven. It might be smoother than the OG zero, but that was already rough sounding in the treble.

Regarding distortion, I do not think the difference really matters. Listening to 20 dB crest factor music at 82 dBC (SPL used in creation of the harman target) will give peaks of 102 dB, where distortion was already quite low on the OG zero. What is there at 2-3 kHz is entirely 2nd harmonic and most likely to be masked by fundamental frequencies.
 
Repeated in 4 threads already, this is the first dedicated one.

 
Looks like a less bright Blessing 3. I will get this instead.

Merged.
