Because everybody already owns it and so now the companies and the YouTubers don't make any more money if they keep saying nice things about it. So it's the zero.

And two or three months it will be something else and everybody will say how the zero is overrated.

This will happen repeatedly until this hobby becomes a little less prone to hype cycles.

Yeah at this point calling him a reviewer is pretty absurd. He's basically a contract consultant/sponsor for every IEM company.

It's kind of funny because he was so critical of affiliate links. And he was right. But now he has found a way to justify this.

And look tuning, promoting IEMs is a fine career but you can't do that and be a credible reviewer. That's a pretty huge contradiction.

These kind of conflicts are pretty widespread with a lot of youtubers and a lot of different ways. Even Mr mobile was disclosing how Samsung paid for his entire trip to South Korea is entertainment and his lodging....

Of course they don't have final copy approval though! See what you will about newspapers but they didn't allow this b*******.

So I have an 18 hr trip to Japan in April. I'll have a DAP with 3.5 and 2.5 bal. I have the KST ZST and like them a lot when EQ'd using autoeq values, way more than the moon drop starfields with EQ. The DAP I'm getting might not have an eq as good as Plexamp so I'm looking for something that might not need as much EQing. They need to be able to be worn for 8 hrs, so I'm thinking of foam tips as those will also give more isolation from the jet engines.

Would I like the Zeros?

Yeah, I feel like there's a cycle of hyped up products and like the $80 price point, and the $20 price point at least once every quarter

These have a low enough entry point then people talk themselves into buying them even if they don't need them.

How many people do you think on the zero, the chu and the blon 03. Or the aria, the snow, the legacy 2.

Yeah it's getting a bit exhausting.

I think it's a fine product, but it's so obvious the marketing is pushing a new flavor of the month. I can't tell you how many people are literally buy an IEM almost every month.

And hey it's the same price is ordering a pizza so it's not a terrible hobby but it just seems so redundant and manipulative.

I feel like everybody in this hobby has the exact same opinions.

Blon 03. No quarks. No now it's chu. Now it's the zero.

There's going to be a new budget flavor of the month.

Everyone's going to own a dozen of these things..

To be fair, I think they're perfectly fine IEMs but the hype machine seems largely designed to get people to buy them all, and end up with a bunch of redundant products.

You are part of the problem.

I think these idiots are circlejerking over the Tangzu Wanker now. 7Hz is so outdated now /s

Still do. I had no idea people 180'd on them until recently. Was using them last night while doing laundry.

Is there a version with jack instead?

Yeah moondrop chu is nice and small, will fit in any ear

Maybe so, but I’d have been ashamed to put my name on a set of iems with such an obvious issue.

I think you are overstating crinacle's role in the creation of his collab IEMs

I literally wrote my take on the Chus lmao and this hits hard. Also 7hz zero now gets bested by the Tangzu Wan'er.

It has legit tuning issues. The shape of the IEM cavity affects tuning.

Listen to anything where a resonant filter cuts through something like vocals where the formants cross into both drivers and compare against a good single driver array. You’ll instantly hear how there is some muddy reverberations that remove detail.

Crinnacle is just a kid with a YouTube channel and a website, not a sound designer. If the shape of the IEM cavity is what causes this, Crinnacle should have known better.

Bro thinks crinacle designed the truthears 💀

i think they are trying to do the koss model of making a good sounding headphone but without removable cable so people keep buying the same iem forever when their cable breaks

I can only comment on the HD6XX : the sound is very intimate. I would never use them for classical. I love them but I only use them for music that I want to sound like it's happening completely inside my skull ( for me : VU's "The Velvet Underground" or Rapeman's "Two Nuns and a Pack Mule.")

I wouldn't say it's because of tolerance. I "objectively" get a huge 12k spike in my ears with the Aria. If it behaved the same way in your ear canals I suspect you would hate it too but it probably doesn't.

How would these compare to the ks zs10 pro?

Because they sound amazing at a good price. I’ve owned my sundaras since march and haven’t had any issues.

Quite a bummer tbh. Ever since I got the Chu I've been trying to find a Chu but with removable cable
