4 g and comfortable for most; angular shell hurt one reviewer

Each part is rated on one scale for every earbud and headphone, from lab test measurements where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports. It rates the product itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Very even, detailed mids for an entry IEM
  • Clean, non-tiring treble
  • Light and comfortable for hours
  • Fuller bass and warmer vocals than the original
  • Smooth treble you can listen to for hours
  • Better separation and depth
  • Nicer cable than before

Cons

  • Mid-bass on the thin side
  • Busy tracks can turn a bit shouty
  • Thin cable kinks and tangles
  • Thin shells isolate less than sealed sets
  • Angular shell hurt this reviewer's ears after a short time
  • Less air and detail up top
  • Crowded sound on busy tracks
  • HeadphonestyDec 2023

    A cheap, reference-style set that tracks Crinacle's target; for people who want an informative sound more than fun.

  • NextriftDec 2023

    Strongly recommended for both beginners and enthusiasts: warmer and fuller than the first Zero, with less treble sparkle.

  • Prime AudioDec 2023

    A warmer, punchier follow-up to the Salnotes Zero with relaxed highs; a little less resolving than the original.
