Truthear x Crinacle Zero:BLUE2

Really good and clear, perfect for gaming and everything else, love them. And with the combo even better

Took a while to deliver. Happy with my purchase though. Got in on sale at 110CAD which was really good. The Jcally Pro itself costs at least 40CAD from most retailers I looked at so it worked out great. The IEMs work as intended, small problem, one of the drivers on the right ear sounds like mg car speakers, that is to say, like it's already starting to go. Hopefully that's just a glitch with some of the music I listen to, we'll see. The DAC that came with works as advertised, and I'm pleased that I can listen to music on my phone now. All in all, it's a good purchase I reckon, if you can find a reason to pick the set up.

I got into IEMs with HEXA first, I loved how neutral it was, but sometimes wanted more bass. The Blue 2 was announced and I just kind of took this as a chance to try a V-shaped sound signature without spending too much, plus it's from the same people.
The bass was fun, especially with the adapter, but the mids felt completely scooped out for me. The treble is just not great to me, and super forward, it wasn't hard to go into shouty territory. Adding the adapter virtually eliminates that problem by pushing it back a bit, like the whole signature had been tilted. Then you're left with some nice, fun bass, passed-over mids, and the not-great treble.
I barely used these before carefully repackaging them to sell on, it did not take me long to make that decision. They were also less comfortable in my ears, which are admittedly pretty small. I basically learned from these IEMs that I don't like pure Harman (shocker), but also that I think I just prefer BAs for treble vs a dynamic driver.
I had the feeling like the Reds might be a better fit for me, seeing as they had a more modified Harman tuning, but there feels like no reason to get them now.
This has been pretty negative, but in the end I mean it did do what it set out to do. The Blue 2 is a 2DD, Harman-tuned IEM, with the option to modify with the adapter. I gave it a shot, and just really did not like it at all, which was a learning experience. Still excited to see what happens with Crinear though, and what he's gonna do with more control on the development and product.

The Zero: Blue2 gives you amazing sound quality for the price. It’s great for people who want to hear music the way it was meant to sound—balanced and clear. It’s not super bassy or flashy, but it’s one of the best budget earphones if you care about sound quality.
