FanmusicTRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero Earphone Dual Dynamic Drivers in-Ear Earphone with 0.78 2Pin Cable Earbuds (Zero)

These are incredible IEMs and an unbelievable value at $50. There are a few things worth noting that keep them from perfection, but still worthy of a 5/5. TLDR - the positive reviews are accurate, try the different included tips, and the Zero's may be a little harder to power than other IEMs.With the right tips, the stock sound very closely mirrors the harman target, which to oversimplify, is tuned for listening enjoyability with more bass rather than a strictly flat response. For sound, I'm pretty much indifferent on whether I use the Zero's or my $300 Massdrop Plus IEM.The overall look and feel is likewise impressive, regardless of the value. The same extends to the tips, which have multiple sizes and bore widths.It is important to try the different tips - I started with the small bore as I expected it to be more comfortable, and the sound was overwhelmingly bass heavy and sounded compressed/distorted. Switching to the large bore, they were equally comfortable, and the sound was balanced to the target as expected.Another thing worth noting is that these require a little more power than I expected to get to sufficient volume levels. They get loud enough out of my phone's headphone jack, but I am near max volume level. Lower power sources might need amplification. They might also be a little sensitive to output impedance, although they are at 10 ohms - I have noticed they sound better and have plenty of power out of my THX 789 with it's -10db gain on the single ended output which has <0.05 output impedance than on my phone with an estimated 2 ohms impedance. I believe a source would ideally have at most 1.25 ohms output impedance, but that is a guideline and I have not done other tests. Regardless, they still sound great out of the phone, just a bit better out of a nearly ideal amplifier.The stock cable is fine. It feels nice and has memory wire for the ear loops. There is no mic. The right angle plug is a problem with some phone cases because it is quite large. The IEM-side connectors are thankfully non-proprietary, so for $10-20 a new cable could overcome these faults.The body of the IEM is fine. It looks great but is a little larger than I would prefer. The connectors are a little large on it as well.Overall, the sound quality and value is unmatched, and these minor issues shouldn't be enough to discourage a near-universal buy recommendation at $50.

Okay these are kind of insane for the price if you dig the sound profile. They are not for small ears though I would recommend them for bigger ears for sure. They do not weigh too much and feel good for me personally. The build quality is really freaking good for 50 bucks. The sound is great, good bass, mids are taking a back seat but they are still present and clear, the treble is a good amount and not fatiguing. I would recommend this for gamers for sure since the sound stage and detail is freaking great for shooters, footsteps and pretty much any genre. As for music there are better options for sure in this price bracket but these should not be slept on they do sound good but there are just some out that sound great but they usually aren't the best for gaming. Overall these are must pickup if you are interested in a starter set for iems!

Never could figure out whether Crinnacle was a god or a bufoon--many people would have it either way. Don't know what the answer is mysef, but I do have to say that for 42 DOLLARS these are absurdly good. Sound, build quality, fit and comfort (for me), accessorization, presentation, etc., as far as I am concerned, could easily compete with the many products in the $200--$300 range.Sound is at once bright and bassy, the way I like it. But not bassy as in "for bassheads" but as in "the bass the musician provided and not any more or any less".That said, these don't necessarilly sound "Vee" shaped to me as I don't find the mids/vocals particularly recessed or diminished in any way, something I'm sensitive to.I'm sure as I "burn these in" and have time to listen to them more closely to lots of different tracks I'll find things to nitpick about, tuning quirks/flaws, what have you, but for right now I haven't gotten past the sound and overall package of these for $42 DOLLARS!! Insane, in the best way possible, lol.I think these may become my casual daily driver with my LG V60 for running around to coffee shops, parks, libraries, campus w/o having to worry about loss/damage to my more high-end over-ears/IEMs and DAPs while still getting decent sound (they're NOT going to compete with my ThieAudio Monarch IIs, haha).Get these as a gift--to somebody else or to yourself!Edit--Still enjoying these, but a caveat or two.First, want to apologize for forgetting to mention all my comments were based on my using thefoam tips. Being happy with the foams I still wanted to see what the silicones sounded like.I have to say with the silicones they verged on being shouty/shrill at times. The good news is someEQ'ing seemed to rectify this. That's nice because there are headphones that don't respond muchto equalization. So hopefully this is true for others if they find a problem here.Second, the fact you're considering spending $42 on an I.E.M. implies you might be new to this "hobby" (I hate the term hobby, I just love listening to music, I'd go to a live performance anytime I could instead of buying a bunch of equipment, lol). I mention "$42" because T.O.T.L. IEMs can cost $3-4K (I'm looking at you, Tia Fourte, lol). So yeah, if you're new, please do yourself a favor and listen to all the comments about eartips being SO SO SO SO SO, etc., important. They are!! You can have eartips that are comfortable and provide a proper seal and still get terrible sound if you have a junk earphone.But, more commonly, you can have a nice set and get junk sound because you don't have a good seal.You can't pay enough attention to this. Try all the tips your vendor offers and if none leave you with a comfortable fit and good sound, look online for tips by companies like Comply, Spinfit, NewBee, FinalAudio, etc. It'll be worth your time when you finally have that "it" moment.Finally, it's not obvious to newbies but, despite their low price, these IEMs are intended for "serious" listeners, in this case meaning someone with a dongle or portable DAC (look it up, also worth your time). These things have a low impedance (10 ohms) and fairly low sensitivity (97 dbm I think) which means, essentially, most phones won't drive them particularly well (not enough current). My LG V60 phone has a dedicated music DAC and headphone amp circuit and can drive these, but most phones don't have that specialized circuitry (if they even have a headphone jack, lol!).Tl:dr--- Enjoy!Enjoy!
