AUDIOPHILE IEM FOR... 50$? - EdenSlate - 09-11-2023

My audiophile fellow, let me tell you : it's a great time to be alive.
Some Korean dude named Crinacle did not fooken miss.

He provided us, for a measly 50$, with an absolute gem of In-Ear Monitors (IEMs).
Allow me to introduce, the TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero:RED (specs)
https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/truthear-x-crinacle-zero-red-iem-review.44865/

To be fair, I'm still a newbie in this vast world of IEMs, however I am experienced with Hi-Fi & studio monitors.
Had the privilege to try (still currently own) 20k$+ worth of high-end audio equipment.
Genelec/Kali/Focal/Adam speakers, HIFIMAN/ZMF/Audeze headphones, all sort of overpriced DACs & amps...

Well, you could spend 100x the money for a mere 10-20% upgrade, but the Zero:RED have nothing to be ashamed of.
I have yet to find a track with a bass so demanding these babies wont reproduce with gorgeous accuracy.
They are lush, dont lack any punch, are not shouty... They just sound freakin awesome.
The value you're getting for the price is beyond ridiculous.

I think the official store is on Aliexpress, but I bought them from Amazon :

PS : Our dear weeb audiophiles will appreciate the waifu illustrations on the packaging  Biggrin
PS 2 : Fade the white earbuds provided. Black foamy one is the real deal.
PS 3 : Yes, these are wired. Miss me with the overpriced bluetooth trash.

Feeling baited cuz you tought this was some random saturated method to get free shit?
THAT'S 50$ U SHAMELESS SCROOGE!!!  xD

--------------

Well, this is still Sinisterly, so I would add a moral disclaimer.
If you're gonna SE them, please make sure it doesn't come out of Crinacle's pocket.
He's a gift from audiophile gods to us unworthy mortals.

Hey man, appreciate sharing this.
Recently got myself some KZ ZS10 PRO's but if i may be honest i didn't find them that good, kinda mediocre (?!)

Maybe you also own those and can share your opinions on both of them? Smile

I dont own them, but now you got me curious!
I might need to try them out, even if only as a point of reference...

In the meantime, I'd say just try some Zero:RED... Virtually risk-free... 50$ upfront, simply return to Am@zon if you hate them  Biggrin

Yeah, you got me too. Now I got a hitch I can't scratch lmao

I might buy them just to see how well they perform. After all, they come from the Crinacle itself Smile
