TRUTHEAR 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.

Very good value, comes with a variety of tips and a cheap but useable carrying case. The cable is also just okay, the length is fine but the quality could be better. BUT, as a previous owner of the Dusk 2, this IEM is very smooth and easy to listen to for hours (if you can find the right tips for your ears.) I sold the Dusk 2 for financial reasons, and this IEM isn't super far from it so this made me feel better about selling the Dusk 2. The nozzle is very large, even larger than the Dusk 2. But I bought the Spinfit CP155 and used them for 4 hours straight and had zero complaints. They are very light also, and the build quality is good especially for the price. Beautiful design as well, and even though the cable is on the cheaper side it does compliment the IEMs themself.

Incredible Sound Quality at a Great Price! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero: RED in-ear headphones are a hidden gem for anyone who appreciates high-fidelity audio without breaking the bank. These earbuds deliver an amazing listening experience, whether I’m gaming, listening to music, or just taking calls. What Stands Out: Exceptional Sound Clarity: The dual dynamic drivers deliver a balanced sound profile with crisp highs, rich mids, and deep bass. They’re perfect for both gaming and enjoying high-quality music. Immersive Gaming Experience: The soundstage is impressive, making it easy to pinpoint in-game audio cues like footsteps and explosions. These earbuds give a competitive edge for gaming. Comfortable Fit: The ergonomic design feels great even during long gaming or listening sessions. The included ear tips provide a snug fit and excellent noise isolation. Premium Build Quality: The construction is solid, and the cable feels durable. They look and feel much more expensive than they are. HiFi Performance: If you’re into high-resolution audio, these earbuds perform incredibly well, rivaling pricier options. Minor Drawbacks: The wired design might not be ideal for everyone, but for HiFi enthusiasts, it’s a worthy trade-off for better sound quality and zero latency. Overall, the TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero: RED is a phenomenal choice for audiophiles and gamers alike. It’s hard to find this level of quality at such an affordable price. Highly recommend!

FOH and Monitor engineer for 15 years. Coming from JH Audio Roxannes that broke and looking for a short term replacement. Frequency response on these is solid. Actually not mad at all. Pretty good. Warm clean low end. Crisp kick drum. Clear voice and snare. Clean high end. First few listens I didn't think I liked them. After about 10 minutes in I appreciated them. I ordered a few pairs in this price range, and it almost just boils down to preference in this price range. These sit comfortably in my ears. They come with several bud options, a nice little faux leather pouch. I also just found this little "bass+" adapter. I'll have to read up on what that's for, but if it's a bass boost, maybe I hear it. It's subtle. Which is nice. Not sure I'll use it because I want a flat response. Performance is stable even pushing them to high volumes. My current soundcheck songs are Drake -- Hold On We're Going Home, and Daft Punk -- Give Life Back to Music. Use whatever you're familiar with. I'd give it 5 stars but I don't like the cable. It feels cheap. And the "around the ear" section doesn't quite mold, but doesn't quite move either. It's just kinda in the way. Not sure I'll like dealing with that. Still deciding but right now I'm not mad at these at all.

Excellent music reproduction. Best IEMs for the price.

I’m not an audiophile by any means, but I am a little picky about sound. I enjoy a little more bass without it muddling the higher frequencies, and I am especially picking about higher frequencies being too prominent. It almost physically hurts my ears when I hear speakers or headphones that have a really high treble. I watched crinacle’s video before buying this (which I recommend doing as well), and I was worried when he talked about there not being much bass even with the attachment. But, I find that it sounds amazing even without the attachment. There’s still a punchy bass without it being overpowering. I’m able to use this for music and casual FPS gaming. I think it fits very well for my smedium sized ears, and it comes with 7 different pairs of tips to fit your ears. It looks great, sounds great, and comes at a really low price. I’ve only got a couple of cons for me personally. The headphone is a bit large and may by uncomfortable for people with smaller ears, but it doesn’t usually touch my ears too much. There’s also smooth rubber(?) pieces over the wire that is supposed to help them stay over your ears, but it’s too large to fit comfortably around my ears and I tilt them a bit to get it to fit.

Amazing sounding IEM's. They come with a nice little carrying bag, and a variety of different tips Admittedly my last wired IEM's were purchased in 2012, and my other earbuds were Sennheiser Momentum TW2 and these blow both of them away. I am very impressed so far, only a couple of days of use into them so far, but will edit rating if anything changes.

I wanted a solution to not having to wear bulky headphones while casually listening to videos, or even recording. I needed it to connect to my mixer and I wanted it to sound not like regular ear buds. I love where I landed with these IEM's. I did buy the recommended cables people bought with these. I've never used the ones that came with them. The sound quality is better than great! The value is incredible! The bass does not hit as hard as over ear headphones, but it's good enough for being inside your ear. There is also an increased level of detail for everything I'm listening to. I don't mean more treble either, I mean I can hear things I could not hear in headphones (sennheiser 598 se). These IEM's let me know I needed to adjust the threshold on my downward expander for filtering out background noise. There is an added in-line bass boost included. If you use a mixer you can always EQ whatever you want. Also included is a full pallet of ear cushions as well as one that conforms to your ear. It is pretty comfortable to me. There is also extra metal speaker filters. I think these are great IEM's to start with. I would use caution when mixing, because they do not have a flat frequency response. Because it is in the ear, this may make it sound more natural so I can't really knock them for not being flat.

En términos generales , el sonido de este IEM es de lo mejor que se puede encontrar en su rango de precio en incluso en comparación con algunos más caros. Pero ten cuidado, primero hay que definir que es un buen sonido . Si estás acostumbrado a audífonos comerciales o a los audífonos de apple (con cable ) y el sonido de este auricular te va a parecer muy muy distinto . Incluso desagradable. Este audífono es correcto técnicamente en todo , lo cual podría llegar a ser aburrido para algunas personas . Imagínate que vas a ver a una orquesta si fónica en vivo . Bueno , este audífono reproduciría los sonidos de esos instrumentos muy fielmente a como se escuchan en vivo , lo cual es lo mejor para personas que buscamos un correcto balance tonal . Pero si tú quieres escuchar ritmos de moda en donde tu cabeza retumbe con los golpes de los bajos y que tus dientes rechinen con los sonidos de los platillos , definitivamente debes evitar este aparato . Este es un audífono audiofilo , con un toque de bajo elevado , en donde podrás escuchar los timbres de los instrumentos y las voces de manera cercana a si tuvieras los instrumentos en vivo . Lo cual puede ser aburrido para algunos .

El producto me llegó varios días antes de la fecha de entrega prevista (tardo 10 días, cuando el plazo que daban era de 2 a 3 semanas). Los auriculares suenan muy bien para este precio. Hay auriculares mejores, pero son bastante más caros. La presentación es excelente, lleva un montón de accesorios, algo inesperado para este rango de precios. Incluye cosas cómo un adaptador de 10 Ohm de impedancia qué permite mejorar los graves, 6 pares de moldes de silicona para que se adapten a cualquier tipo de oido, y un par de viscolástica (o similar) que cogen la forma de la oreja. Tanto el sonido cómo los accesorios parecen de unos auriculares del doble de precio. 5 de 5.

Ich bin mit den In-Ears sehr zufrieden. Der Klang ist klar, detailreich und macht beim Musikhören wirklich Spaß. Auch der Sitz im Ohr ist angenehm und bei mir halten sie gut. Die Verarbeitung wirkt hochwertig und insgesamt machen die Kopfhörer einen sehr guten Eindruck. Für den Preis finde ich sie wirklich stark.

Pros: It's great for gaming on ps5 Best for music Cons: The wires get tangled easily The storage pouch is a bit small

IEM de qualité, bien finis avec accessoires mais tous les IEM proposent la même chose désormais. L’esthétique est basique (je n’aime pas particulièrement mais bon). Le son ? Pour un audiophile (je pense l’être aussi avec mon matériel chez moi), il est loin d’être neutre (fidèle), avec une prédominance pour les basses (rondes mais pas « boom » cela dit, médiums de qualité mais en retrait, aiguës non criardes, ouf !). Bonne spacialisation… Et ça fonctionne parfaitement ! Son accrocheur et doux, du nectar pour les oreilles avec un mobile ou une tablette (avec un petit DAC dans mon cas). Pour du son « vrai », j’ai mon système stéréo chez moi. Pour du son agréable en mobile ou tablette, ne vous posez pas de question. 70 euros pour cette qualité, c’est bluffant !
