x Crinacle Zero: RED Dual Dynamic Drivers in-Ear Headphone Gaming Earbuds HiFi Wired Earbuds

I am a purchasing consumer reviewing product that I bought.I am not partnered with any retailer or manufacturer, and am not receiving anything for posting this review.I will post updates to this review as my opinions change.[3/2/24]After a few days plugging these into various sources. I am overall pleased with this purchase. Overall sonic presentation is smooth and balanced with just a little bass boost below ~80 Hz. No serious "holes" in the sonic spectrum. Others have complained about the treble performance, but I find it to be pleasing. Present enough without becoming over-bearing. I am a little treble sensitive though to be honest. Too little is better than too much... and the way these present sounds above ~5k I find to be just about right. As far as mid-range sounds like vocals and solo instrumentation goes there's just enough boost/energy there to keep things interesting and avoid sounding dull.Be forewarned, despite the low price these are detail revealing enough to reveal poor recordings, and dull sounding source circuits. Basically a dull, lifeless, flat source or source material will sound exactly that way. These monitors will not do anything to "color things up". Conversely, well recorded material and a well chosen source will handily reward the listener with an experience well beyond the $55 price.I am very slightly leaning towards the included foam tips the most. They just feel right for my ears, they seem to block more ambient noise too. I only wish they included more. The silicone tips are a little firm feeling in my ear canal, BUT I like how easy they are to insert. I will probably go back and forth between the various medium size tips. I haven't completely settled on one strong preference yet.These are just a little on the bulky side for my ears. I can't comfortably lie/sleep on them. So as night time "sleep-cans" these will be a pass. I will stick with my cheap JBLs for listening to forest rain and ocean waves while sleeping at night.[4/23]Everything I stated above remains true after almost 2 months. I did wear out the foam tips though. I am perfectly fine using the silicone tips. There definitely is some midrange flair though, from maybe 1.5k ~4k. Not exactly sure how to describe it... but it's a coloration of sort. Guitars (and electric guitar cabinets) sound like actual resonating wood. Clarinets sound like vibrating wood and resonating air within a tube. Drums have an acoustic tonality like an actual chamber of resonant air. These monitors make music sound like a live single instrument being played in front of you... They don't sound like a 2 channel stereo system in a room playing a recording.[10/23/24]Still enjoying these monitors after ~6 months. I stand by everything I posted previously. I also use them to listen to live sporting events (NFL & NBA) on AM/FM radio. I also listen to late night FM radio music shows. Their warm / smooth signature works well for radio. I didn't post it above but I go back and forth between these and my old trusty Koss KSC-75 all the time. The two compliment each other nicely for times when I do / don't need sound isolation.[1/22/25]I stand by everything posted above.My brother in law gave me his old 128GB ipad and I have been using this as my source for all my CD ripped music. No complaints here. If anything the ipad sounds a little dull and distant compared to my Sony D335 and Magnavox AZ6815 portable CD player headphone jack. Its not offensive mind you, just different. With the ipad source the Zero Red sounds preferable with silicone tips. There is some bass accent with foam tips that work against "darker" sounding sources. I don't use the impedance adapter at all either. Its too bulky and I fear it could stress the headphone jack on my sources.[1/29/25]I finally got around to replacing the foam tips. I picked up a 20 pack of Sonicfoam SF0-SMALL. The Zero Red is well known for having a HUGE sound output tube, almost 7mm diameter. The SF0 diameter fits the Zero Red perfectly. Not too tight and not too loose. They are very similar to the OEM foam tips, except the Soncfoam material expands much slower so I do not have to hurry/rush to insert them. As far as sonics and comfort go they are an exact match to the OEM foams. Not sure how durable they are. All foam tips are basically disposable anyways.

Great balanced sound quality and quite comfortable on the ears. Once you find the right ear tips it feels very comfortable to use even for long term use.

First impressions: beautiful earbuds, nothing missing from the box, and the sound is wonderful! However, docking one star because it looks like they've been used before. Whether that's true or not, I don't know, but it appears there's earwax on one set of bud...inserts or whatever they're called. Which is gross. The box also wasn't sealed closed, like with a sticker or anything. I don't know if they're supposed to come sealed, but if they WERE, mine were not so maybe that's an indication they've been opened and potentially used by someone else. It's annoying mostly because the apparent earwax is on the size I would need to fit my ears... The earbuds are good overall, though. Worth the money. I just had bad luck or something with my pair.

Quality is great and functions with great clarity. They come with different size earpieces to allow for a comfortable fit.Highly recommend these as a replacement for headphones.

Not a audiophile review just a regular person enjoying good music.Bass 4 out of 5Vocal 4.5 out of 5Detail 4.2 out of 5Sound stage 4 out of 5Fits good for me had to adjust the tips to 1 size better than default.Build quality seems decent.Comes in a neat little case.Overall you can hear the voice very clear and instruments sounds like a live-band next to you.

Sound quality is pretty impressive. They also work great with a preamp if ya have one or care. Definitely loud enough to hurt your ears if your not careful.

Let me start off by saying these are great IEMs for the average person for the money, especially if you pair it with good EQ settings. If you are an audiophile, these may not be the IEMs for you, and you can definitely find better options for slightly more money. They have great sound quality and imaging, however they can be a bit uncomfortable for long listening sessions, so it is also appreciated that they provide various different ear tips. This is where the good part ends and the bad begins.I ordered the Truthear Zero:RED as shown and described here on Amazon with same day shipping. This is to say, I believe this was an error more on Amazon's part than the actual seller. What I initially received on the first day were the regular Truthear Zero, instead of the RED variant. This was a bit frustrating as the packaging is completely different, but luckily it was quickly resolved with a simple refund, and I had the pair I originally wanted a day later.Here is where it gets really bad. From the date I received the correct variant that I originally wanted, it has only been 3 days (which is when I am writing this review). The left IEM has completely stopped working. I am more than positive that it is an issue with the cable, as it was working one second and then stopped working. I unplugged the IEM from the cable and plugged it back in, and it started working again for a few seconds and then immediately stopped again. They have not been in use for more than 3 days, and the cable already gave out in regular desktop use. I never unplugged them from my desktop amp, and they always sat on top of my desk after each use without being moved. The only time they have been moved is when I would put them on as recommended by the seller, and in the exact orientation (cable behind the ear).I suspect that the cable is the weakest point of these IEMs, if they can resolve that, then these will be great value for the money. Until then, I will be returning these and going for something else. If anything changes I will be back to update this review.

They fit perfectly in my ear. My audios in videos are now crisp and clear. If you’re looking for light weight ear buds, these are perfect! I’m a gamer and the game audio is very clear too!
