Very interesting but I hope they will sound good in practice too. The Truthear Zero disappointed me. Muddy as hell despite being pretty much Harman target + a ton of bass. They also ruined every song where realistic bass was required. The subwoofer is great and all but way too strong.

But I'm no IEM person so I don't know how good these things can be. I adore my 6XX and I wonder if there are IEMs for the same price that perform better or just as good.

FiiO is awesome, I hope these will be nice. Semi open sounds awesome and the price seems competitive.

In my experience Crinacle's cheap IEMs have been good tonally but garbage technically.

That's exactly what I meant but I wasn't able to put it into words :D they would sound great with better technicality.

Actually T. Zero might be one of the best IEMs for the money, but they are bassy you are right and that breaks the rest too. For me, the lows come after mids and treble but for the majority, the bass comes first including the tuners. That is my opinion.

I like a mid forward sound and I adore my 6XX (modded, pad swapped and on tubes) for their capabilities so it's no wonder that the Zeros were disappointing to me.

But I gotta say, the Harman tuning is very solid. On for example EQ'd KZ ZS10 pros it was absolutely terrible to listen to them with the target. Sounded like a tin can.

So in their budget they're good, but not what I want and their technical performance is not enough for me.
