Truthear joins an extremely competitive IEM market with its first set called ZERO. In collaboration with known IEM reviewer Crinacle, this set offers a rarely seen dual dynamic driver configuration tuned to the Harman in-ear target to carve a niche market for itself without hurting the wallet either!

IEMs have evolved so much since then that I'd be surprised if you can't find a better bang for buck and similar/better sound quality than the TinHiFi T2 Pro for lower now. For example, there's the new 7Hz Salnotes Zero that's generating a lot of interest at $20 itself.

Harman tuning for $50, I'd say that was a win for people looking for great value. I'm not a bass head, so the Aria or Titan may be worth spending some extra dough for. Having said this I am still rocking my KZ ZAX. :) Appreciate the great review VSG.

I've always preferred the TIN T2 Plus as it has a slight bass boost that really compliments the highs.

I just got these, and wow, these are an incredible value for $50. Not the best technical performance, but it still manages to give more expensive IEMs a run for their money. This truly seems like one of those market-breaking products where getting anything else for under $100 seems stupid now.

There are a few others that stand out. Not shocked for moondrop though. Bit below my usual buy in but I'll try out a friends. People seem to forget though very few products sell at MSRP. In the US you can get the Etymotic ER-3 and Shure SE 215 for 70. Both of which are outstanding at that price range. The sub 1k any sort of headphone, iem, earphone, market is a cluster fuck now. In many cases you're arguing over fit, seal, or comfort now. Tech and tuning does matter, but if the damn thing doesn't work for you it doesn't work. I can still "WOW" when talking cheap (300 and under) at how SE 215s, ER4-S, MDB-2 clobber things far more expensive and I like things more and less depending on what it is.

Just keep in mind dynamic drivers are "fun" they aren't "accurate". It's for listening, not analyzing.
