Linsoul 7Hz Salnotes Zero HiFi 10mm Dynamic Driver In-Ear Earphone IEM with Metal Composite Diaphragm Stainless Steel Faceplate Detachable 2Pin OFC Cable (Black, With Mic, Type C)

Salnotes ZeroFinally I have a pair; of what you may ask?, The 7HZ Salnotes Zero, possibly one of the most hyped-up IEMS since the renowned Moondrop Chu and for good reason! These cost £20.99 off Amazon which I feel is fair for the product deliveredComfort:The Salnotes Zero personally fit my ears very well with superb comfort and weight distribution, the cable wraps snuggly behind your ear whilst being relatively non-obstructive however the cable has microphonics but it’s mostly a low rumble that isn’t intrusive when moving about. The cable is flat and has a metal 3.5mm connector and splitter with a plastic slider.I’ve heard people mention they don’t sit in their ears very well and as a result of this have an impaired sub-bass response (I found this to be a non-issue in my personal testing)Included tips are weird, there are different bore sizes but they don’t widely vary in overall dimensionBuild quality:The body is made of solid plastic with a metal brushed face pate bearing the Salnotes logo, this feels well secured and will most likely not be prone to falling off, the removable cable ensures user replacement is easy and stress-free should you wish to upgrade or the original becomes damaged and no longer serviceableSound:Treble:Upper treble extension is rather poor and uncontrolled, it has a splashy characteristic to it when cymbals hit, hi-hats feel slightly unresolved and recessedMid Range:Male vocals come through upfront with rich and full-bodied with natural articulation at the price point, electric guitars come through with bite, body and articulation and snares have punch and depth.Bass:Bass extension in my testing cleanly extended down to 15hz, It is cleanly detached from the midrange without bleeding, letting everything punch through with sufficient weight, there’s a lack of slam and exaggerated punch but sub-bass and kick drums come through without much hesitation, There’s a slight sense of warmth in the mid-bass which adds a layered sense of nuance and depth to vocals and instruments such as pianos. Bass dynamics could be improved.Technicals:Whilst not the most detailed or dynamic-sounding iem on the market, it presents instruments naturally and articulating which makes for a pleasing listening experience. Macrodynamics and such are acceptable, different passages are rich with contrasting dynamics There’s not much width or soundstage at all and it all sounds very much inside your head.Overall:This is a very balanced and well-tuned iem that leans towards being neutral leading itself to present the source with unbias tonal balance and natural reproduction.Comfort is totally acceptable and the fit is stable and for myself would not be prone to fall out during intense activity.I am very happy to see the advancements in the chi-fi space finally quality audio can be accessible to more people than ever before and at an affordable price may I add, this is a huge step up from the likes of KZ people may have been buying just 2 years or more prior.

These are so great for so little money. Sound is relatively balanced/neutral: they have some nice sub bass, mid bass is not at all overpowering, mids are good and pretty clean, treble is present - not massively “sparkly” but certainly not overly sibilant or harsh. These are verrry comfortable for me personally and are just wonderful for under £25. I bought these to replace my big, bulky “proper” headphones for monitoring my own music production/mixing on the go so I could just have something small, decent-ish sounding and cheap with me to work on music when out and about: these have massively surprised me and I’ve found the tone signature of these lends itself pretty well to allow me to make fairly balanced mixes on the go. The sound of these is really non-fatiguing, and whilst not completely neutral and critical they’re accurate enough so I can use them for making music as well as just listening to other people’s. Awesome bit of Chi-fi gear - total bargain 👌👌👌

Pros:- Very good sound for the price- Great value- Cable is detachable and quite sturdyCons:- Right headphone died after 3 months- Not super comfortable with my ear shape

These IEM earphones are a perfect choice for gaming and talking with your friends!!!The mic is really clear for an earphone mic, and for the price.The wire fits lovely round my ears ( personal preference) and sound quality is great, removes surround sound extremely well.I would 100% recommend these for anyone who needs a cheap alternative to game

Great fit in my ears and it is amazing for gaming I can hear every foot step and they are much better than my 100£ Logitech headphones

I was very skeptical but bought this because of a recommendation. It’s surprisingly good. Not super powerful bass but it’s definitely not lacking. It can actually produce very low frequencies, it’s just not “emphasized”. But there’s plenty of headroom so with some EQ, it’s very easy to make up for without any reduction in dynamics and/or distortion. Could have easily paid double the price for this sound quality. Regarding build quality, it feels like it’s a bit delicate (not very sturdy) so I wouldn’t treat is as normal headphones (like carrying it in my pocket etc) and instead handle it with utmost care. I’ll mostly use it as “another pair of mix validation” headphones, as I’d like to triple check my mixes in various headphones and speakers. Overall very good, balanced and flat (if not a bit bright) sound, so I’d rely on this for the rough mix stage.

I was looking for a good balance of price and quality, and found this excellent product.Firstly, keep in mind that these go around the ear, which may be uncomfortable for you. I wear glasses, and these get uncomfortable after a while, but it's not a huge issue for me.The sound quality is incredible at this price. Maybe the best I've heard for something so cheap. I have zero complaints about it, and would recommend it without a second thought.I tend to go through a few earphones a year. The cables pull, and eventually something gets strained. But these earphones, and many from the sam distributor, have detachable cables. This makes them very longlasting; you only need to replace the cables for cheap if they end up pulling too much.The fit in ear is good. They're supported by the cables which go around the ear, so they don't feel heavy.

Fone Top, zero ruído e qualidade mto boa.

Vengo de usar unos kz y unos blon bl 01 y estos hasta el momento son los mas cómodos y duraderos que he tenido, su calidad de audio me sorprendió siendo bastante nítida sin sobresaturación en ninguna frecuencia. el único punto negativo seria el cable incluido, es muy malo, pero eso por suerte se puede cambiar comprando uno nuevo.

Impulse bought these based on online reviews and they did not disappoint. Own a pair of Xiaomi in-Ear Pro 2 earbuds and a Sennheiser Game One (basically an HD598/599) that I have been very happy with, but I heard so much praise for these that I had to try them considering they're only $30CAD.I tend to prefer a more balanced sound, with a slight emphasis in the low-end and I'm perfectly happy with the bass. But if you're a bass head, you may be disappointed. These have a very neutral and balanced sound profile. They are more mid and treble forward than anything else I've listened to, but never fatiguing, or sibilant. Sound is clear and detailed without sounding too hot or harsh.Compared to my Xiaomi's, these are considerably clearer and more detailed across the board. The Xiaomi's sound a bit grainy, and the bass put the mids and highs in the backseat slightly.Compared to the Game one, the Zero's are considerably more mid and treble forward and have considerably more bass. The Game one's upper mids and treble sound a bit veiled by comparison.Between the earphones I own, I like the Zero's by a good margin. My only complaint is that they don't come with a mic. Other than that, they sound incredible (especially for the price), are very comfortable and feel fairly well made. Highly recommended.

The 7Hz Salnotes Zero directly competes with the similarly priced Moondrop Chu.Overall, the Zero and the Chu are neck-and-neck in terms of sound quality. They each have certain strengths and weaknesses compared to the other, but both put other options at the price point to shame. The two IEMs also make different trade-offs in terms of build and accessories. While buyers will need to weigh which characteristics they value more in choosing between the two, both are solid buys for $20.SOURCES:I have used the 7Hz Salnotes Zero with the following sources:Qudelix 5KHidizs S9E1DA 9038DPACKAGING AND ACCESSORIES:The 7Hz Salnotes Zero comes in a small white cardboard box. The packaging features pictures of the Zero on the front and back covers.In addition to the IEMs and detachable 2-pin cable, the Zero includes six pairs of silicone eartips in several varieties. These appear to be the same varieties described in my Dioko review:The red, blue, and orange pairs are squatter and more conical in shape and feature wider nozzles. The light blue and yellow eartips are more round with narrower nozzles. The pink pair is also round but with wider nozzles than the other round eartips.The pair of eartips resembling AZLA SednaEarfit Crystal eartips included with the Dioko is not included with the Zero. The Zero includes a product information card and a user manual written in English and Chinese, as well as a small velcro tie. The Zero does not include a carry pouch or case.BUILD QUALITY AND DESIGN:The 7Hz Salnotes Zero has a two-part plastic chassis with a stainless steel faceplate. The faceplates have a jagged, angular outline. “SAL♪NOTES ZERO” is laser-etched at the base of each faceplate. There is a small circular rivet at the top of each faceplate. The faceplates have developed minor scratches over the course of my review.There is a small circular recession on the inside of each chassis with an embossed “L” or “R” indicator. There is also a pinprick vent at the base of the nozzle. The nozzles have the same metal and paper nozzle covers as the Dioko, and have extruded lips to secure eartips.The 2-pin connectors are very snug and quite difficult to remove. The 2-pin connectors fit flush with the surface of the IEM housing body. Each 2-pin entry site is marked with a small red dot to indicate polarity.The included 2-pin cable has two strands that are joined in parallel below the Y-split. The cable uses a mix of metal and dark plastic hardware. The cable jack has a straight form factor. “SAL♪NOTES” is printed in white along the length of the jack housing. There is strain relief above the jack housing but none at the Y-split. The cable has pre-formed earguides without memory wire and a rubber chin-adjustment choker. The curved 2-pin housings have faintly raised “L” and “R” markings. The cable is mildly microphonic.COMFORT, FIT, AND ISOLATION:The 7Hz Salnotes Zero is intended to be worn cable-up. The earpieces have a shallow insertion depth. I found the Zero to be very comfortable. However, secureness of fit is below average and the housings required occasional readjustment with most eartips I tried the Zero with. Isolation is fairly poor. There is mild driver flex.SOUND AND COMPARISON TO THE MOONDROP CHU:The 7Hz Salnotes Zero is tuned very similarly to the Moondrop Chu.Like the Chu, the Zero has a Harman-ish sound that emphasizes sub-bass over mid-bass, features a robust pinna gain region, and slopes downward from the pinna gain region through the upper treble.The biggest tonal difference between the Chu and the Zero is that the Zero’s pinna gain region peaks later than the Chu. The Chu’s pinna gain region is centered around 3 kHz, while the Zero’s peaks later at around 3.5 kHz. This is a subtle difference, but depending on your ear physiology, may impact which of the two IEMs vocals sound more natural with. The Zero has a twinge more measured sub-bass than the Chu, although the difference between my samples is so small that this may be a question of unit variation rather than intended tuning. Subjectively, I feel that percussion actually has a greater impact on the Chu than the Zero. The Chu also has a hair more upper treble extension than the Zero.The Zero’s sub-bass shelf is mild in its amplitude, and sub-bass extension is average. Bass articulation and resolution are both very good. The Zero’s bass is well-textured for the price but is lacking in impact. The result is a clean but underwhelming bass tuning. After hearing the Chu and now the Zero, I have come to believe that if an IEM opts for a pure sub-bass shelf, the amplitude of that shelf needs to be greater than what either of these IEMs displays. The bass does not bleed into the lower mids.The Zero’s midrange is on the cooler side. Male vocals have grit but are slightly lacking in warmth. The amount of body to male vocals is somewhere in between these two other qualities. Female vocals are slightly more forward than male vocals, though both are very intelligible. Female vocals do sound more natural on the Chu than the Zero. On the Zero, there is a hint of strain and sibilance. On the Chu, female vocals are just slightly more grounded. With that said, the Zero’s midrange clarity is astonishing for an IEM of this price. The level of presence is essentially perfect for heavy rock genres. Timbre is slightly dry but natural sounding overall.The Zero has slightly less lower treble energy than the Chu, which I prefer. Like the Chu, the Zero has a noticeable drop-off in the mid-treble which deprives cymbal hits of sparkle. While the Chu has better upper treble extension than the Zero, the Zero has slightly crisper treble transient delivery. The Chu has a larger soundstage and slightly better detail retrieval. Imaging between the two is comparable. The Zero has the best instrument separation I have heard on an IEM at this price.AMPLIFICATION REQUIREMENTS AND SOURCE PAIRING:The 7Hz Salnotes Zero does not need a powerful source to reach a usable listening volume. I did not notice hiss with any of my devices.

Good fit
