Tweak & Tune the Sound
Why settle for a fixed sound signature when you can shape your audio experience exactly to your preferences 🎛️?
I love products that put you in the driver's seat of your audio journey. These specialised headphones come equipped with sophisticated, customisable tuning capabilities that let you adjust every aspect of the frequency spectrum. Think of it like having a personal audio chef who can adjust the recipe to your exact taste - more bass for your workout playlist, clearer mids for podcasts, or sparkling highs for classical music.
The adjustable sound signature means you can fine-tune bass response, adjust midrange clarity, or enhance treble detail. Whether you prefer deep bass frequencies, crystal-clear midrange presence, or pristine high-frequency detail, these solutions put you in complete control of your sound 🎚️.

Upgradeable Cable
Not satisfied with the current cable? No problem 🔧!
I believe in giving you complete freedom to customise your listening experience. These IEMs feature detachable cable systems that let you swap, upgrade, or replace cables whenever you want. Think of it like having a modular smartphone - you can upgrade individual components without replacing the whole device. Whether you're looking to improve sound quality, try different materials, or simply replace a worn cable, the choice is entirely yours.
The standardised upgradeable cable connection ensures compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket cables, giving you access to different sound characteristics and build qualities. This modular approach means your IEMs can evolve with your audio journey, allowing for easy maintenance and personalisation.
When you spot "🔌 Upgradeable Cable" products, expect future flexibility and the freedom to customise your audio experience through cable upgrades and replacements.
Why it Sounds Amazing
Dynamic Driver
The dynamic powerhouse of your sound ⚡!
I believe dynamic drivers are like the "reliable workhorses" of the headphone world - they've been perfected over decades and continue to deliver incredible performance. This driver design uses a lightweight diaphragm attached to a voice coil suspended within a permanent magnetic field, enabling precise and responsive movement that produces sound with remarkable efficiency. Think of them like precision engines that convert electrical energy into acoustic energy with impressive power and naturalness.
Dynamic drivers excel at delivering powerful and authoritative bass reproduction, clear midrange frequencies, and vibrant high frequencies. The inherent strengths ensure your music is reproduced with impressive dynamics and energy that stays true to the artist's intent 🎶.
When you see "🔈 Dynamic Driver" products, expect energetic, natural sound with excellent dynamics that bring every note and beat to life with exceptional realism.
Balanced Sound Signature
In my experience, a balanced sound signature is like a well-cooked meal—nothing overpowering, everything in harmony. If you’re someone who listens to a bit of everything—rock one day, jazz the next—this is the tuning I’d recommend. It doesn’t boost any part of the sound unnaturally, so what you hear is often how the artist intended it. 🎧
Here’s what’s actually happening: the headphones don’t favour bass, mids, or treble excessively. This results in a neutral, natural, and versatile sound that suits a wide variety of music genres. While it may not feel as “exciting” as some more coloured tunings, balanced headphones tend to offer the most accurate reproduction, making them a favourite among audiophiles and studio pros alike.
Crisp Vocals & Instruments
Vocals and instruments sound so good, it's like a warm hug 🤗!
I believe that when vocals are reproduced correctly, they should feel like the artist is performing right there with you. These headphones demonstrate exceptional prowess in reproducing clear, articulate vocals and instruments, with each element rendered in stunning detail and separation. Think of it like having front-row seats to an intimate acoustic performance where every breath, every string resonance, every subtle inflection comes through perfectly.
The natural timbre and tonal accuracy create an engaging presentation where every nuance is preserved while maintaining fatigue-free listening. Each word, note, and subtle inflection is reproduced with outstanding definition and emotional connection 🎤.
When you encounter "🍿 Crisp Vocals & Instruments" products, expect vocal excellence that brings you closer to the emotional heart of every performance.
Smooth & Sweet Treble
Seeking something that sounds smooth and devoid of harshness 🥰? I tend to describe these headphones as having "silk-like highs" that caress your ears rather than assault them. These products are meticulously designed to deliver high frequencies that are wonderfully gentle, offering a listening experience that's both sophisticated and delightful. Think of it like the difference between premium chocolate and cheap candy - both are sweet, but one provides refined pleasure while the other can be overwhelming.
The carefully tuned treble presentation ensures musical details come through with remarkable clarity while maintaining natural, fatigue-free character. The refined high-frequency presentation maintains excellent detail and air while avoiding any hint of harshness or stridency ✨.
When you see "🍦 Smooth & Sweet Treble" products, expect refined high frequencies that deliver crisp detail with a touch of sweetness and sophistication.
Layered and Nuanced Sound
Imagine sitting in the second row of a grand music hall 🎼, where each instrument's placement creates a vivid sonic landscape before you. I believe these headphones recreate that precise spatial positioning, allowing you to distinctly perceive where each instrument would be on an imaginary stage. Think of it like watching an orchestra conductor - you can follow each section independently while appreciating how they work together in perfect harmony. The layered presentation ensures every element occupies its own distinct space while contributing to the whole.
This audio equipment creates a detailed listening experience where musical notes, overtones, and reverberations shine through clearly, keeping complex passages distinct and well-separated. The tuning excels at revealing subtle interplay between instruments and the natural ambiance of recording spaces 🎯.
When you see "🍰 Layered and Nuanced Sound" products, expect intricate soundscapes that reveal the depth, complexity, and artistry in your favorite music with exceptional clarity.
Headphone Zone Certified Unboxed Units
Unboxed units are as good as new products with the product's packaging being unavailable. These products give you the same satisfaction of new products - but at down-to-earth prices. Usually, the product's packaging may have gotten damaged in transit. Customers use a product once or twice and then return it with opened up packaging.
Customer Returns
Returned headphones are fully functional products that have left the warehouse and therefore can no longer be sold as new as their packaging has been opened. The product may have been used once or twice by the customer who returned it.
Transit Damages
Sometimes we receive headphones in damaged packaging due to shipping accidents. These are brand new headphones with cosmetic flaws on the packaging.
Save Upto 15%
Since you won't get the original packaging, we give you a good discount compared to a new headphone.

A thorough inspection means you receive a 100% working headphone with no sound output issues.

Highly Efficient Dual Dynamic Driver In-Ear Monitor
3.5mm Termination
It comes with standard 3.5mm termination. The advantage of 3.5mm termination is you can pair these with a portable DAC & Amp to take the performance of these in-ear monitors to the next level.
Sunken 2-Pin Connectors
Truthear ZERO: RED comes with 0.78mm 2-Pin interfaces (the cavity is a sunken 0.78 2Pin female socket), expanding the possibilities by changing the cable and leaving room for upgradability. It can be paired with a Balanced cable or a Bluetooth adapter if you ever wish to go wireless.
Copper-Plated Silver Cable
The cable for the ZERO: RED has four strands of high-quality copper and silver plating with a thicker diameter of a single strand. A copper and silver-plated cable is one in which the conductor or core has a layer of silver applied to it. Typically, this plating improves conductivity, lessens signal loss or interference, and improves audio quality in general.
Impedance Adapter
It comes with a 10 Ohms impedance adapter which increases the bass by 3dB with a lower mid-range resolution with a substantial bass boost.

The first time I heard it, I couldnt believe my ears. The Project Red, as so many of us in the community have known for a while, is simply the best sounding IEM by a mile. Crinacle has smashed this one out of the park. And Truthear has delivered faithfully.
I think the ZERO and ZERO:RED are good options for those who want either flavor of tuning. I’m happy to say the Turthear ZERO:RED is an easy recommendation!
The ZERO: RED are a no-brainer purchase for anyone looking for an affordable neutral pair of IEMs. While not perfect in every way, they are superb where it really counts - the tonal balance.
In conclusion, the Truthear x Crinacle Zero Red offers a mid-centric sound signature with a sub-bass boost. It has good mids and its vocals are especially convincing.
If comfort with the larger nozzle is not an issue, the quality of its bass, leveled treble, and the included 10 Ω impedance adapter make it an exceptional value.
The Truthear x Crinacle Zero Red, an upgrade of the original 2022 Zero, is certainly a decent iem that is worth its asking price. But, other than that it has been carefully curated/marketed/hyped and is well accessorized.
The soundstage is on the wider side for an IEM not using a multi-balanced armature arrangement, but instrument separation is fairly average, as is imaging.
