Yes I ordered one as well - I imagine @amirm will get one and measure it so I want to be prepared
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
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
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.
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.
So, here is the big reveal video about the Project Red: Seems like it will be a great IEM - less distortion - not harman tuning (but with an impedance adapter to make it very close)
