I do not have the red, but I have the blue Truthear Zero. To my ears the Truthear are better than the Zero2. I think it is due to the shape of my ears being more in tune with Truthear, more than any thing else, so it might not apply to you.Any point of getting a set of these, EQ'ng them as per Amir's notes, when I already have a set of TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero:RED ? Thanks

Graphs a lot like Truthear Hola too. Cadenza and Hola I own already so I'm not in a hurry to pick up Zero 2. Tin C2 is my go to for a this type of warm tuning signature anyway, moded it has just the right amount of snap to go with the warmth.the graph looks like tamed down kiwi cadenza with bass boost (tilt)
Same, these sound more effortlessly natural with a better soundstage too imoi’ve just been doing some listening tests between this one and the red. I think this one sounds better. And I think the red sounds pretty damn good.
No, not worth it, unless you think the Red or Blue (which are larger) would not fit your ears as well. These do not fit me as well, had to go through 4 different set of tips to find a pair that worked better, and I still prefer the sound of the Blues.Any point of getting a set of these, EQ'ng them as per Amir's notes, when I already have a set of TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero:RED ?

Gonna stick with the reds and buy some tips instead and see what I like bestNo, not worth it, unless you think the Red or Blue (which are larger) would not fit your ears as well.

But I'd respectfully suggest that the low bass SHOULD be there as it helps underpin the sound (mercifully with no mid-bass 'bloat') and to me makes music and speech more realistic (whatever 'real' is). Take said low bass away and it's hyper 'HiFi' - all lean and DEETAIL emphasis which in reality is a bit much I'd suggest... (apologies folks, I'm doing the tune dem again and the '2' has it better to my tastes and not so shrill). I was brought up on BIG speakers and find small porty boxes rather artificial (maybe Neumann and Genelec can convince me otherwise, but al too many smaller domestic speakers irrespective of price just...well...don't... )To my ears, 7Hz Zero 2 sounds like Truthear Zero Red with inline adapter and a bit bassier. As a result, bass region shadows details by taking too much attention
Reds bass levels are plenty without the bass plug. The graph makes you think otherwise, but that's the trick it does. Achieved by 1. Focusing more on the mid bass 2. relaxing the lower treble.But I'd respectfully suggest that the low bass SHOULD be there as it helps underpin the sound (mercifully with no mid-bass 'bloat') and to me makes music and speech more realistic (whatever 'real' is).

Please, let us know how it works for you when you have had a chance to live with them for a little while. Are you using the medium tip that come with the Red at the moment?Gonna stick with the reds and buy some tips instead and see what I like best

The Spinfits get my vote too.I received my 2nd unit and compare the KBEAR 08 tips with Spinfit CP145 and the latter is considerably better imo. Ordered a 2nd pair of CP145 too.

Good to know, I use the one Amir use for testing, the set you use is too big for me, the seal is not as easy to get and maintain. So what ever new tip you like, I should probably go to next smaller size.The one Amir used in the review and liked
I dislike upper bass emphasis. I'd probably EQ that down in that case.The other style of bass present tuning, common with 1DD like Zero 2, focuses on upper bass emphasis/bleed.
That's what personal preference is for, I'm sure you will find fans of both styles, and that's okay. I'd probably split the difference given the choice.I dislike upper bass emphasis. I'd probably EQ that down in that case.
