"Very impressed, and only $20? Insanity"
"20-30$ options like 7hz zero2 or tangzu waner will sound much better than what you have in every way you can imagine for not much money"
"they are, however, mindblowing considering the ~$20 pricetag"

"good for gaming ... for my needs ( good music + gaming ) these were perfect"
"Found them perfect."
"The imaging on them is immaculate ... hence I would say they are better for your purpose. ... I have these and nothing comes close to them in gaming"

"Salnotes Zero 2 when I want the best comfort"
"The perfect fit with pink tips, I can easily sit with them for 5+ hours."
"I really like the Zero 2 since it has decently detailed yet relaxing musical sound signature which I can enjoy for hours. ... Perhaps the Zero 2 needs to go into the record books for having a very nicely executed relaxing sound signature"

"It almost completely cuts out the cymbal noise when I'm playing live. ... So much so, I have the soundguy give me some drums in the mix because I tend to play too hard when I can't hear myself."
"the isolation is great when you're focused on doing work ... Helps to drown out background noise."
"The resulting passive noise reduction is outstanding."

"unfortunately they hurt in my tiny ears. So I had to return them."
"due to fit issues"
"the nozzle is pretty large so would be a problem ... Iems lile Zero 2 would likely be a bit better but not that great on the fit."

"Sometimes sound gets overlapped. ... I don't hear footsteps and even car sound."
"i really felt that trebles could have been a little more present i play music and love the high hats on drums ... i felt the drum cymbals were not very clear or ended abruptly"
"it was too bassy and made it harder to hear the higher notes clearly. ... i disliked the zero 2 because i felt that it's bass overpowered the mids and highs too much at times"

Iems flatlined after the 7HZ Zero 2 came out. You're either choosing your flavour of BA timbre machines, or a solid single DD like the Zero 2. And scientifically there is no way to measure or evidence that hybrids are better. Guys please stop downvoting this, it's a fact, argue your point instead of being salty. Provide proof hybrids are better and Dynamics arent adequate. I have also tried like a dozen ~100 to 600 dollar iems. And a few kilobucks.
r/iems • best iems for gaming? ->Scientifically measurable accuracy or tuning accuracy? These are very different questions. The 7HZ Zero 2 probably measures, by our best scientific standards, more accurately then the Blessing 3. But people will think the Blessing 3 is better because driver count and subjective opinion about the sound (Harsher = better. Not sure I ever understood that. I guess some people like zingy highs)
r/iems • what is the most sonically accurate iem under 300 ->Just grab 7HZ Zero 2's first. I have the KE4 and shelved it cause too zingy. All hybrids are
r/iems • How good are IEM deals on black friday? ->Zero 2 is the one and done imho. I have totl monarchs and stuff
r/iems • How good are IEM deals on black friday? ->Still actually the 7HZ Zero 2. Bunnys spike in the uppers are not fun, Castor pro bass is a bit odd but enjoyable at least, waner 2 is tooo vocal. Pure and hexa are mid. Pure neither has enjoyable bass or mids. Hexa is shouty. EM6L is thin. Explorer is dark asf. The only one of these I've had moments of "Oh shit" and jumping up because I thought the sound was next to me, was from the Zero 2. My collection goes into the kilobucks
r/iems • Best All Rounder IEMs under $120-$130. ->Scammy companies making dozens of models to confuse people so they buy lots? What else goes on. The simplest solution is 7HZ Zero 2. Then call it a day. Don't get scammed I am saying this from experience, I got up to monarch mk3
r/iems • There are too many options ! what is going on? ->Zero2, Moodrop Chu and other one i dont remember
r/iems • Need First IEM Suggestions : Stepping Up from Premium Earbuds ->For something cheap and widely appealing the zero 2 are excellent Different iems have different sound signatures, some more niche that others so even if they're good quality they might not be the right fit for you
r/iems • Sub $20 IEMs for non-audiophile? ->i'd still go for something like zero 2 for the sound signature. generally more suitable for the genre imo and on average a more widely appealing signature accessories are great on wan'er 2 but tuning comes first, accessories are a nice bonus though
r/iems • Tangzu Wan'er SG 2 as first IEM? Mainly listen to pop rock like Imagine Dragons ->tanchjim bunny for something more neutral, 7hz zero neutral brighter
r/iems • Looking for budget neutral/bright IEMs ->closer to 20$ 7hz zero 2. very widely appealing sound signature that covers many music libraries. commonly a default blind buy rec for new comers for 30$ (atleast on black friday) i'd take advantage of the sale and go for kefine kleans. they'll be a stepup from the cheapie 20$ sets, cadenza is generally considered a sidegrade to the 20$ cheapie sets with diff tuning (though still a very nice set as well)
r/iems • Looking for a good low price IEM recommendation for a first timer ->I just got mine yesterday. Love them. I have more expensive headphones but these are great. https://preview.redd.it/a56aevox5hne1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ec8f2a35dda7f9cb6954b45189ca7e247da9b64
r/iems • My first IEM ->What tips do you recommend? I am kind of high jacking here. I just got mine yesterday and use the light blue and light pink tips. The smallest.
r/iems • My first IEM ->Alright so everybody here has an opinion, most of them based on "trust me bro". There is a bunch of ~20usd iems, all of them having very similar tuning (tuning is ALL that matters in the sound of earphones/headphones). A lot of them, because they are cheap, come with bad cables that break over time (cables are usually the nost fragile thing on this stuff). Thus I would recommend the Truthear Gate, it comes with a cable that is far better than even cables that vome with iems costing 5x the price. Under 100usd, I would recommend the the Truthear Pure. It is tuned to be what we call neutral now (jm1 and -1db/Oct. Tilt), leaning a bit warm. KZ is... questionable. Some praise it for its price to performance, others hate it. What we are certain about is that they do not sound *objecitevly* correct, not even close to it sometimes. On top of that, they got questionable QC... and marketing practices (paying reviewers, silent revisions for the worse...) 7hz Salnotes Zero:2 - is a good option with a solid tuning, but many find it uncomfortable. Edit: The moondrop chu2 is also a solid option, but I would still go for the Gate.
r/ipod • Best Earbuds For iPod ->My fav is the Zero 2, but the Kiwi Ears Cadenza is also gorgeous in all colors.
r/iems • What is your favorite beautiful looking IEM? ->Same here lol I started off with the 7hz ZERO 2 last January then months later made the jump and ordered the Truthear Zero RED and a week later ordered the Truthear Hexa which ended up arriving before the REDs 😂
r/iems • These are the most recommended IEMs on Reddit (r/iems VS others) as of Jan 2025 ->I'd say the difference between the Truthear Zero RED (55usd) and the 7hz ZERO 2 (25usd), my first IEM, is very noticeable.
r/iems • These are the most recommended IEMs on Reddit (r/iems VS others) as of Jan 2025 ->It's nice to hear your impression of them, given you have experience with other sets. I have been using them since Jan 4, swapping between the ZERO:2, Truthear Gate, Zero RED and Hexa and the Moondrop MOCA. At first I was reluctant about placing them above the Zero RED, and got blasted in the comments for saying they sound better than budget wired IEMs. But honestly yes I agree with you. The ROBIN have excellent sound presentation.
r/iems • Moondrop Robin is great! ->At this stage just roll a dice and get that one because everything would be an upgrade compared to 5bucks iem.imo the safest would be zero 2 cus its just neutral with bass boost then start exploring from there.
r/iems • Beginner looking for my first IEM under $30 — too many options, too much conflicting advice. Please read description. ->I forgot that zero 2 has bad included accessories so if u want better included stuff ill go for waner and gates or bunny for dsp(usb c).but like i said just roll a dice ,all of them are good enough
r/iems • Beginner looking for my first IEM under $30 — too many options, too much conflicting advice. Please read description. ->Up until now I've been listening to 7HZ x Crinacle Zero:2, they have a lot of bass and might be tiring for long sessions. So I ordered Kiwi Ears Cadenza for myself. They are quite similar to Tangzu Wan'er. In any case, Tangzu Wan'er or Moondrop Chu II will be a very great option for any ears.
r/iems • Best iem for ps5 gaming/daily usage ->It has more bass. It's my favorite at this price range now.
r/iems • should i take truthear gate? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
