Their Truthear Zero:Red is a clear step up from the KZ EDX and ZSN Pro sets they own.
After about two years with the Truthear Zero:Red, they want an upgrade due to the uncomfortable shell and treble dip and peaks.
The Truthear Zero:Red nozzles were too big for their ears, so it wasn't comfortable for long even with Dunu S&S tips.
A beginner loving the Truthear Zero:Red with a Protocol Micro DAC so far.
Ordered the Zero:Red but their ears really hurt after an hour.
Their $65 Zero:Red beats their Sennheiser HD 560S in every way except soundstage.
The Zero:Red are their first IEMs and they love the neutral-with-bass-boost signature.
Their Zero:Red hurt their ear canals far too much because of the wide nozzles.
Just got the Zero:Red and finds them amazing.
Finds their Technics AZ100 earbuds sound better than their Zero:Red.
The Zero:Red's tuning is exactly what they wanted for commuting, but the 6.8 mm nozzle hurts one ear and walks out of the other; only the foam tip stays in, and only when pushed until it hurts.
Can't tolerate the Zero:Red's huge nozzle; it was their first IEM.
Uses the Zero:Red with XL Dunu S&S tips and likes its neutral tuning.
The only tips that helped the Zero:Red fit were TRI Clarion, and even then it wasn't what they'd call comfortable.
Finds the Zero:Red a bit lacking in midbass and had bad QC, receiving faulty units from the factory.
Is really enjoying the Zero:Red equalized with a Protocol Micro.
Prefers the Zero:Red most of the time over the similar Truthear Pure once the level is matched; its dual drivers need a bit more power.
Compared the Zero:Red side by side with the Hexa and Pure and found it noticeably more scooped and harsh than the Pure.
Made the Zero:Red work brilliantly for them with a good dongle and some tweaking; not bloated or muddy, and nothing left they dislike.
Bought the Zero:Red as a cheap pair to carry around after Moondrop Kato and Myer Audio IEMs, and found them far too bright, to the point of a headache, and mushy rather than warm. Tried every tip and swapped the cable without improvement, and wonders whether the pair is faulty.
“My initial impression was that they were as good as gas station earphones. It was so so bright, to the point of giving me a headache. It also just felt so mushy”
Tried the Zero:Red but its nozzle was too thick for their ears.
