Once again, my apology to the hearing-impaired among you.
THESE. SOUND. AMAZING.
Normally only $50, they were a $42 Black Friday impulse purchase. The TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero IEM’s can sound bizarre at first, and they did, until finding the right set in the supplied collection of earpieces. For me, the biggest set of the clear silicone pieces does the trick.
The sound follows something called the Harman IEM frequency response target. It’s a bit bright for my taste, and the mid-bass is lacking compared to the incredibly tight, deep bass. But the impact, clarity and overall WOW factor when listening more than make up for those quibbles.
