7hx x Crinacle Zero2 review - 2nd Times a Charm
The Zero:2 is the second iteration of the successful OG Zero.
Changes include a new driver, cable and substantial tuning changes.
I really like the original Zero but it has some shortcomings. 7Hz has done an admirable job in addressing those by listening to the community.

ZiiGaat Nuo - From Nowhere to Somewhere
Переглядів 1,4 тис.10 місяців тому
ZiiGaaT may be a new manufacturer to many as it is new to myself. The Nuo is the cheapest of the new Pluse line of iem that also includes the more costly Cinno. ZiiGaat has put other companies on notice! At $24usd the Nuo should not sound like it does. It has an open, organic and detailed sound that belies its asking price. So much so that I found this surprising. Thanks to Linsoul for the Nuo ...

    Haven't bought yet but judging by the graph the upper midrange can be too much for me in some songs (especially females vocal when they're screaming). Because i have Heart mirror pro with super similar upper midrange and it's shouty for me, but for 25$ it doesn't matter that much since it's a simple fix with EQ (3100 khz -2,5db, 0,9Q). This is just a thing for people to remember so you don't get overhyped
