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.

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.

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.
