Second vid I watched in this channel (found the first one that caught my eyes on eartips topic). I like the way you explain the item, the different POVs that might come to one's mind, the many aspects of the item, and the fun you shared. Thanks You. Subscription added. GGs.
Blue and Red pill
Red pill for sure

ถ้าใช้สำหรับฟังเสียงร้องในงานดนตรีสด เหมาะมั้ยครับ ตัวนี้
Red for me!
Thx for passional review! I will definitely buy one, good review!
Nice video, but you didn't really compare it to similar priced iems like the Kiwi Ears Cadenza, that comparison would be very interesting.
I also would like a comparison to the Cadenza!
Ihave heard cadenza has a very good technical power and fast bass making it a very netral iem.
i wonder how it fares aswel;
a black and red cable would look so gorgeous on them :D
Yes that would be great probably could get an after market
Name of the cable that's in black and red combination
i'm using the blue's for gaming because the higher base and treble makes footsteps way more clear and then i use the red's for music etc for a smoother listening experience
I swear, feet enthusiasts have an excuse for everything 😅
@@DamianSzajnowskiLOL
Yeah I bought the blue for that reason too and I'm probably going to get the red too. The blue are still shipping, so I haven't tried those yet, you think they deliver a good sound for gaming? Precisely I'm gonna use the in games like Rainbow 6 Siege, where sound of the footsteps or the gunshots are everything
What do you do about the mic? The blue and red don't have an inline mic i guess
Isn't possible to tune with EQ zero red to match the blue ? What's the difference red + tuning EQ vs red + impedance adapter ? I'm new in this lobby
I don't think you should compare these to any of the budget $20 IEM's. I think these should be aimed at the $50-80 IEM market. Meaning things like Hexa, Aria, Kinera's and such.
I think we all know the Project Red are better then the $20 IEM market in general for quality of the drivers and tuning level.
i agree. it would ONLY make Sense to compare these with 20 dollar iems if was really bad. (if those 20 dollar iems were close or better than it)
@@JoseFerreira-zb7wh Yes my thought exactly. Clearly its a straight upgrade, not even a sidegrade so it's a weird thing. Plus I'm so burnt out on hearing about the budget IEM's now, I really want to hear more mid range stuff. Which for me is anything from $50-200. So Project Red all the way up to Kato for example.
@@burns0100 i for once would be glad to see something different. Doesn't matter the price range. (but yes, for me $200 is also the budget limit to consider) More and more products lauched are just revised versions or just more of the same.
well, it was sueful for me. I have Tengzu waner which got broken so I was looking for something new. Got Truthear Zero red few hours ago and I am happy with them
@@Kalantinus94 I mean it's useful but at the same time they are a straight upgrade to any of the $20 budget IEM's. They cost twice as much and have two drivers and much better tuning. Easy recommendation.
Timmy could you give us a link to the cable you got? It looks amazing,
Is there any foam tips or a cable that you would recommend outside of sticking with the stock options
would you say the zero red is a direct upgrade from the moondrop chu 2s? i currently have them and after watching your review on the chu 2s its more or less in the same group as the wan'ers, hola, and salnotes zero. im also considering the trn conch as people say it sounds similar to the simgot ea500?
I don't know why it didn't occur to me before - I was listening to my IEMs and was thinking the seal wasn't too good. So I folded my ears flat, forward...and the sound quality just improved. Bass was so much better. I then put on my headphones to keep my ears pressed and now I'm happy. Cost was $0. If you want to improve the sound of your IEMs and a spare set of headphones, give it a shot.
WHAT
@@bishaldey5339 now using foam tips lol
WHAT
He missed the main advantage of red, which is the extramly low distortion above the 95 dB sound pressure, a bottleneck for majority of headphones, to run these into extreme you need a good headphone amplifier with it's own low distortion values
Would the ifi Uno do the job !
is Red become harder to drive when 10ohm added?
i dont want to use dac amp, is the volume affected or not?
pretty sure will be harder, but 10ohm doesnt add much of it
Marginally harder
yeah it would be just a little harder, but keep in mind that it already have 17ohm and 117db sensitivity, if you use a phone or laptop you would max out at just 35% volume
Hey Timmy. Where can I buy the cable? 😂
Well I use CCA PLA13 iem and i am looking for parametric EQ (Poweramp Pro) with more neutral to the iem tuning.
is it better than the dunu titan s? mainly in details
Timmy! How does that cable fit on the Red? The recessed cable on my zero means aftermarket cables don't fit for me.
ok thats nice to compare with similar price range but it would be nice to compare with higher price range too... it seems like every iem theses days are really good for the price range so it doesnt mean much in the end...
Great, we still waiting for the P8 review
Thanks for the review.
How is the soundstage and imaging? How does it compare to the Ouranos?
Soundstage and imaging is just as a result of frequency response and phase in iems. They're completely minimum phase and have DF tilt level treble. Great "imaging"
Hello @Timmy, what about this Red against the Sennheiser IE200? In sound and technical performance.
I want your opinion, truthear will be my first IEMs. I'm so torn between the HEXA and Reds. These will be almost exclusively used for DJing Drum and Bass.
Reds can go very loud with extreamly low distortion you need a good headphone amp to get the best out of them (That actually applies to any headphone) I have the original zero too and red has way less distortion in higher sound pressure levels, if you can eq forget the 10 Ohm plug
@@MeBo-kp2lpthanks dude!
@@cryptik_official how did it go with the reds
@@eleh1337 I hated the blues and the hexas were very mid(and too heavy).
I kept buying more IEMs and ended up with the "AFUL Performer 5" IEMs. They're amazing.
@@MeBo-kp2lp are the moondrop dawn pros good for it?
I love my Blue Zero, but as I type this, I am waiting for my new foam tips to arrive. The foam tips that came with the Zero tore down and the silicone tips either slip off or just don't feel the same. Super happy with $50 IEMs that are so, so, so much better than any "gaming" headset I've ever used in the past.
Update?
@@matsudakodo Foam tips are very soft and seal my ears comfortably. Bass sounds and feels better and they hold nicely. They're sonicfoam sf0. I'd recommend
What are the cables you used here?
Great video
I am already using Moondrop Aria but i want more bass and more lively sound. Is Project Red better upgrade for me or can you offer me different option around this price range? ( I love my Aria but i want little bit more bass and more natural timbre )
Hi, thx for the review, just wondering, can i drive those on my smartphone ? I mean are they easy to drive ? I have a old Samsung galaxy s8 and i'm wondering if i'll be abble to enjoy those iems completely just plugged into my phone.
I added a 4.4 balanced cable and got more bass and it sounds great
so whats an upgrade from the red with the same tuning?
I got the red yesterday, a review unit for testing and I spent a whole Sunday afternoon to compare it to my current favorite ea500. The red sounds good but I don't think its a resolving IEM. Like, I was missing some actual details, real frequencies in some songs. It sounds... like a 50dollar IEM.
Yeah. If you have the hexa or anything in the 80+ dollar range....theres really no reason to pick these up. Theyre a great starter iem perhaps...but there's just so much better for a little more if you can stretch your budget. CVJ Mei, Hexa, ea500, whizzer he10
@@LuciferArc1 yeah hearing a lot about the Mei. But for now I will spend a good long 6-7 months with ea500. This thing is hard to get bored. Best sub 100usd sound I've ever heard period.
@@s1lverhand_ yeah. I'm gonna wait to see what truthear puts out next as I love my hexa just as much as my kato. So I'm really anticipating their next release. I also got my hex on a sale they had a few months ago for 60 bucks. Best 60 bucks I've ever spent. Ended up never touching my aria se after that though
@@RenanRischiotto yeah then why a 1 year long hype for something that screams "norm".
I have the wan’er and I really love them but want to upgrade. I’ve been wanting to upgrade to the hexa but wanted to know if the upgrade to these would be worth it if I’m not really able to spread my budget out that far
What if i own a KZ ZS10 Pro? Would this be a nice upgrade that justifies replacing my current iems?
where do I buy the cable?
Have you tried the red eq on og zero? Does it sounds close enough? 🤔
Will be a bad match
Timmy should i get this to try out if i already have an S12 pro and EA500?
Can you use the same impedance adapter for other iem/headphones?
Yes
These compared to the truhear hexa? which one is best for gaming please and thank you
how is the soundstage for these? looking for gaming iems
KZ pr2 next??
Mine just arrived today!
sheesh, can't wait for a review
Will wait for this review !
Will hopefully have one out in a day or two. I will say I've been non stop listening since I got them, and sometimes forgetting I'm supposed to be evaluating them. Which is a good sign!
How do they compare to Hexa ? Is it worth spending a bit more ?
Same here.
The hexa is better, so I've heard
Hexa is better
From what I've heard, the Hexa is much better for the small up in price. If the Hexa was $100 then it'd be a different story.
in the end, RED, yes yes
What cable with a microphone do u guys suggest for it?
Have you tried to compare it to Aria and Titan S😊
I hope to see some really high-quality multi-driver metal bullet-style IEMS with great mic quality, and straight-down detachable cable, around 100 $
Stuff like Tin T2 with above changes. Plus smooth rounded edges, unlike the sharp ones on T2, please.
Hope TIMMY does a collab to cater to this kind of market 😃
For a normal person who is not a pro audio/sound/mixing engineer, it is really difficult to wear the around-the-ear types and be able quickly remove IEM to talk to people around you, and attend phone calls without removing IEM and switching to another IEM/TWS for calls.
Edit: The bullet shape is not necessary , it can be anything that offers a good fit & grip without falling out from ears easily.
Bullet shape is usually not good for passive noise isolation from ambient sounds/noise, and also more prone to easily fall out from ears.
@Siddharth Metal itself isn't costly. There are several affordable iems with metal body. Well tuned as well.
What I'm proposing is a versatile multi-purpose convenient product with high quality sound. I don't mind high price if it excels at all that I mentioned.
Market is over abundant with cheap products that only do 1 thing and need us to use other products for other purposes and needing us to remove the over-ear twisted cable hook.
Which do you personally like better?
will you ever review the kiwi ears quartet ?
If this Compare to Fiio FH3 which one will you buy please ?
not sure if it's better to get ie200 or red.
You say these are an upgrade to 7Hz Zero, but they graph almost the same. So could you elaborate on that? What area do they improve upon? To me the 7Hz Zero sounds a bit thin and can get a bit shouty on some tracks.
Cleaner sounding, better clarity. The graph shows a difference in lower mids which is quite substantial in changing the openness and note weight. Lower treble is more on red as well. These two changes help a lot with clarity. As far as thinness is concern, if you think 7hz zero is a bit thin, you might find the red to be similar. Though impedance adaptor will remedy that.
@@Gizaudio Thanks for the answer.
@@Gizaudio I would say 7hz zero sound sharp too. because of the 12khz peak. which actually quite a lot of cheaper iem have. aria is even worse, and i only put it on for less than 1 minute, but it offended me already. Those peak can be clearly seen on crin's 5128 graph
will they be nice for gaming?
should I get the aria instead?
Can't wait this product come to 🇮🇩
Would you recommend this for gaming for fps shooter?
I would also want to know that
Hey, would you say this is an ideal IEM for vocals in this price range? Was looking for the "best" IEM for vocals in the $40-60 range. Thanks!
Wouid these be good for playing with a band ?
Do i need a dac amp for this?? for pc
what IEM does better if the comparison is between RED vs Simgot EA 500?
Sir Timmy, worth to buy the Tin T4 in 2023?
what name of the outro song??
ehem... so, where can I get the cable
I'm watching listening on salnotes zero and you sold me on my next step up
P.s. you sold me on the salnotes zero lol
What does this mean?
@@lucky78862
it's my first time to go iems now im confused. What to get blue or red? im more on the gaming side (kinda competitive), but i love listening to music on my idle times, so for any iem pros here, im done using headsets. It feels like my brain is getting small HAHAHA SEND HELP
I usually listening to rock, so the should i choose the blue or the red?
cable diff?
Can i mix songs in these ?
Which between Zero and Red is better for shooter games (valorant)? and which is a more all rounder earphones (for music, games, movies)?
Zero I think. That's what the comments day at least
@@thesquirrels72 I've been using the zero for almost 6 months now i think. its good for valorant, movies, and music. :3
How are these over the blon bl-03
Which one would you recommend The Truthear Zero Red or Hexa?
&
Zero Red or Salnotes Zero?
red better for bass, hexa for more treble-focused signature
@@eleh1337 Hey Thanks! Just curious how packed/tight/impactful is the bass in the Red compared to the blue, is it really lacking, I'm not a bass head but like some punch as long as it's tight, fairly impactful with good rumble?
@@recondite_me yea, fairly impactful. Lemme know how it went when you get them
Is it better than the dunu titan s ?
Hi, I'm new at the hobby!! Like 2 years and the best iem i have is a Tin Hifi T3+! I would like to know if the project red is neutro enough to use it for mixing musics!! I prefere iem better than headphones! But i never had one neutro to do it! Thank you!!
If youre gonna eq your iem, then id say just look for single drivers. Multiple drivers dont do well with eq, at least in my experience with the crin zero. Otherwise youre gonna need to up your budget a bit more.
red + adapter vs blue?
got the zero and if I put the sound at 100% it's not loud enough, there's a lack of power on those... is there a way to put the red eq to the zero ?
I think the solution to your problem might be to pair these with the DAC. Especially while using the impedance adapter, using only your phone or computer jack directly might be holding back your RED's. Pair them up with a good portable or desktop DAC according to your budget and then you will be good to go.(The DAC wil also elevate your music experience overall)
Please make a video about best budget iem cables because the stock one suck
whats the name of cable
Interesting 🧐
Is it worthy to upgrade from tin t3+ to Truthear red? I use 7hz 71 DAC.
Stick to t3+
Got them for 20 bucks off and cant wait to try them. So its a steal :P Shenzhenaudio seems to be having stock problems because it hasn't shipped yet xD
The OG Zero really are a tiny bit shouty and fatiguing BUT i do love the hefty bass though. Can't wait to hear them and i do need some more neutral IEMs anyway.
The 3 dB bass adapter will also be permanently added to my HIfiman sundara (I hate fiddling with EQ) so i also got a use for that :D
I don't think the bass adapter will work with the Sundara
Yeah, impedance adapter won't do anything for Sundara, as it has a linear impedance that doesn't change with changes in FR. All it would do is make it (slightly) harder to drive.
@@KrakenUp9231 it's alright, i have enough juice here :p and I take what I can get and if it doesn't do anything then I still have it for my other iems :D
@@anandanajit6543 i will see how it will turn out. :D
@@basti329 The reason it works on the red is because it has 2 drivers. As far as i've understood the smaller driver gets harder to drive than the bigger one hence the bass boost. Usually impedance adapters are used on sensitive iem's to make them usable on powerful amps.
how do these compare to the nova..? I want them for gaming and music
Nova is a more V-shaped Zero. Stick with Zero Red
how's this versus hexa? or similarly priced iems.
Hexa is a different "flavor" altogether compared to Red
Having owned the Hexa and tried Red, I would still prefer the Hexa because the BAs provide detail that the Red simply couldn't provide
@@vianhoho19 looking at Fr graphs alone i wouldn't say they're very different. Not the same, but both favouring some sort of neutral presentation. Tip rolling might make them more similar than different maybe?
How would it compare to…. The galileo?
Hmm. KZ PR2 vs red? It's a bit of a apples and oranges comparison though.
These vs truthear hexa, moondrop chu, aria, Linsoul KZ Zax, KZ ZS10 and Antlion Audio Kimura Solo for multiplayer gaming?
or just the best under 1500
Is it good for anime ost? I am buying this as my first IEM
simgot ew200 is pretty good if your budget is around 40$
Red vs Aria 2?
Do you think ZERO RED sounds better than HEXA？Or which do you prefer?🤔
Wish the build was like dioko's
Hi Jimmy, is this a sidegrade or an upgrade to dunu titan s? TIA
This is my question too
Sidegrade
If they had added a BA to the RED to increase its treble extesion it would be an end game for a lot of people.
That's when i make the jump from $30 max to 50/80 USD
@@MTCypher Why not just go for Hexa?
@@Goodbutevilgenius too much teble focus/few bass
So how is the Red with the impedance compared to the Z300?
judging from the graph it blows the z300 out of the water.
z300's unique selling point is being a fun and bassy IEM.
BRO ALL the neutral bassy iems are fun.
I sometimes dont understand HBB. his approach to the tuning is always one step behind the competition
You can look for bigger impedance adapters to get bigger bass from the reds. So comparing bass between the two is unfair for the z300.
Just to be clear, impedance adapters doesnt necessarily adds bass into anything. For some iems it may add more trebble, and for others it may even do nothing.
@@shaami8622 Do you prefer dip switches or impedance plugs with your iems for tuning? Or should they only come ready tuned? How are the producers supposed to deliver their iems?
@@oijans personally i prefer to just plug and play. Though i am curious abt tuning switches, especially when they actually do things like in the kiwi ears quartet. Still waiting for more reviews on those before i commit.
Oh I just noticed, I'm the first patreon name now.

I wish to have that kind of earphone but if its not maybe the Tinhifi t3 plus my dream earphone!!!

@@matsudakodo tried the W1 and nothing helped
Guys, anyone who own both crin red and aful performer 5, how they compare?

Blon 03 has a lot of base or if you can find the rinko cheap that also has a ton of bass
Thanks man
Because of the way you hyped them before I thought it was monarch mk2 killer at 600 dollar price mark. 🤷♂️
