Linsoul 7Hz Salnotes Zero HiFi 10mm Dynamic Driver in-Ear Earphone IEM

I was surprised by these, these are my entry into IEM's. The sound is very neutral and a bit on the bright side, there's a decent amount of details in songs I've listened to for years where I could now hear some stuff more clearly that I didn't know was originally there or was possibly masked by generic off the shelf bass heavy tunings on wireless or JLab/skullcandy earphones. These took a little getting used to since I normally leaned towards warm sounding headphones ..but these made food analytical listening IEM's, the soundstage does sit slightly in back rather in center. The cable was ehh, but I can't really complain, be careful splitting the wire because there's a possibility of cracking the cable sheath, I also got the Zero 2 and use that cable instead since it's thinner and doesn't mess with my glasses. Unfortunately I have some sort of allergic reaction to generic silicone tips so I used 2 different pair of Spinfit W1 tips which are an anti allergenic medical grade silicone, occasionally switching from Medium-small to the small tips ...yes they do make a difference, the small sit deeper in my ear, while the medium-small sit more securely against my canal entrance, I noticed the difference in the fit changed the soundstage a bit, the outer fit expanding the stage a bit.. and they also helped boost the bass a small bit for those that feel the bass is a little too underemphasized, it's nothing drastic though, it's more like a subtle boost. Overall these are great, I'd use these for FPS games since the response time is tighter than the zero 2, zero 2 is more or less the same but a bit bassier, if you have the money I'd say test them both out, I like both for different use cases. I wish the cable was a little longer, but I can't complain too much at this price point. If the sound is too sibilant for you, I recommend using foam tips to absorb some of the sharper frequencies while also bumping the bass a bit. They fit pretty well in my ear, I can't complain about build quality but I do like the design, they don't come with a case so I recommend getting a travel case or something, I got a linsoul tin HiFi case which holds both sets the thinner zero 2 cable and my FiiO KA11 dongle. Wired has become my go to again, I can't speak for the mic quality cause I got the no-mic cable version.

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 5K Hidizs S9 E1DA 9038D PACKAGING 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.

I was looking for a better audio solution to use while playing VR. Due to the weight of the Quest Pro I am using, it was important to limit the amount of weight I added. I initially bought some Porta Pros. Audio was nice, but one of the speakers shorted in less than a week. They were rather uncomfortable, as well. Picked up some cheap Sony over ear headphones as a temp solution. Not the best balance and far too much boom in the bass. Bought some Sp3060 earbuds next. Very tinny and the balance seemed off. A friend suggested I look into in ear monitors. Had never heard of these before, so I started digging. The Linsoul 7Hz Zalnote Zero was highly regarded in all the lists and reviews I read, even those that favored a different low budget IME. After using them for a time, I have to agree with the majority. These have a nice, full body sound with an even tuning. I am not a speaker head, but I do appreciate quality audio. The cons I have are minor, with some ranges sounding a bit hallow, which I think is largely do to fit. After trying all the included buds during my VR sessions, I couldn't find a good seal, and the ones that did made my ears hurt. I ended up using a set that came with the SP3060. Pretty comfortable now and form a good seal with minimal effort. The chord seems sturdy and rests comfortably around my ear. I could have saved a lot of money if I had known about these first.

For $20 this is a pretty balanced sounding headphone, a good clean amount of bass and a very clear mid range. Not too much sparkle in the treble but honestly for $20 I don't want them to emphasize treble as it could turn harsh real quick. Vocals are clear and not in the background like most cheap IEMs would usually tune (heavy on the bass but muddy, vocals in the back, and treble either stabbing your eardrum or muted), which is quite a surprise for $20 IEMs, heck even some $100 range IEMs didn't do as good. As a baseline I used my Campfire Andromeda ($1000 IEM) as comparison, and honestly in terms of clarity I'd say both are about on par (much to my surprise). However where the Zero falls short on would be overall resolution and details of reproduced sounds. Things don't sound as natural on the Zero but instead a bit more flat, vocals while clear aren't quite natural like the Campfire Andromeda, and overall instruments from live recordings has a bit less life and breathe to them. To put to simpler terms, the Zero does not reproduce atmosphere and small details very well, however it is pretty much on par in terms of clarity of sound, which for $20 is very much worth it. Keep in mind that comparing a $1000 IEM to a $20 is extremely unfair, so while I say the Zero isn't as good as $1000 IEMs that's really not saying that this is not a good pair of headphone for its price range. In fact it's probably one of the best choices you can make at the moment. I'm still quite shocked how close it got to the Andromeda which is 50x the price of this thing. Comfort-wise I didn't have too much problems with it, I use it mostly for bedside listening so while it does make my ears just a tiny bit sour after sleeping on it for 8 hours other than that it's pretty good. If you have small earholes you might need to change the ear tip to something smaller, I have pretty stretched earholes due to all the IEM listening from past years so I was ok just using the default red tips that came with the IEM. For $20 this is a great product, and honestly a really good tuning for its price. I would definitely recommend this if you prefer a more balanced sound signature.

These were replacement for some budget AKG over ear headphones and the persons first IEM's, they certainly obliterate those. For under 20 dollars they're night and day compared to skull candy garbage you would find in most local stores for a similar price. Fairly comfortable and clear sounding, almost as good as my Moondrop Starfield's are, like 80-90% of the sound quality, maybe a bit less comfortable? Probably fixable with some after market ear tips from china for $5. There's less pronounced bass, more so at the lowest tones. Things are a bit less "detailed?" overall than my Starfields, hard to put my finger on it exactly, but I still enjoyed listening to them. Cable's fairly short at around 3-3.5 feet long, but you can buy an extension cable for like $5 with the money saved. Includes 3-4 sets of different color of tips for them, may be slightly to big for small ear canals. The cable's good, it fits snugly in the IEM's and wraps around the ears fairly nicely. The cable and the IEM's are pretty good looking on top of that. Definitely a fantastic value proposition. If you need something for kids, teenagers, tight budgets or people without the best hearing this is a good option. If you're an audiophile you probably will want something better. Are my Starfields better? Yes. Are they 5x as good? No. Really comes down to how much money you have and how picky you are about your listening experience.

I've been into hifi stuff since the 80s. I've largely focused on speakers, because I really don't love wearing phones of any kind for more than 30-60 minutes. But I still have dozens of phones and a handful of favorites (like the the KSC75 or SR850) that I immediately recommend if anyone asks me what headphones I like. We've also got it pretty great now with so many choices in the budget sector, and things like the Zero are literally cheaper than a new LP (don't buy new LPs, by the way - the horrible value proposition of modern pressings is a whole other thing I could talk about for a few hours). So sometimes I do like to play around in this almost-zero-stakes (no pun intended) market segment. But I laugh at how seriously people are taking this stuff nowadays. The Zeros are interesting, and I've spent a good ten hours this week listening to them with a huge variety of source material and trying to like them. I know everyone wants to call these "neutral bright." I agree that they are neutral, but while they *are* brighter than the average $20-40 IEM, I don't know that they are really all that bright. The thing that is peculiar about them is that they really feel like they have purposely limited bass from about 200Hz on down, and then it swings back up around 45-50Hz all of a sudden. That's... *really weird* to listen to, and can be very unsatisfying or hard to adjust to, in a lot of ways, with the majority of source material. The best analogy I could make, maybe, as an old-school speaker enthusiast, is a good "starter" full-range driver like the Fostex FE208s. Except that the 208s have *no* bass past their early rolloff, a much more ragged and nasty midrange, and they aren't nearly as bright as the Zeros. The other important difference, though, is that in a listening room you have the option of supplementing a full-ranger with benefits and strengths everywhere except the lowest 3-4 octaves with a *separate* system (subwoofer, pair of subwoofers, whatever) that can cover those octaves. That, to me, is the main way a small-full-range-based speaker system can be made livable as a primary system. If you stick the Zeros in your ears, you have no such recourse. Sure, EQ, I suppose - but I use phones with so many different types of devices and setups that I personally really need the basic flat sonic profile of the headphone to be livable as is. I also find you get into horrible second-guessing and diminishing returns, quick, if you open that "I can just EQ everything to my liking" Pandora's box. So for these reasons, I'm not convinced you can, or really should, live with the Zeros fulltime or have them as your primary listening source. What they offer at the top end is, honestly, *not* that special on its own - it does not have any unusual "magic" or secret spice. It's simply the same basic top end that I've heard in a number of other IEMs and earbuds at a similar price point - it's good, it's clear, it's reasonable, it does sound nice and enjoyable, but it's nothing special, nothing game-changing. ...Meanwhile, though, I suspect the weird, scooped bass will cause most listeners - no matter how much they doth protest that they're "not a basshead" (horror of horrors!!!! who would ever want to be labeled with such an epithet!!!!!) - to turn these up louder than they ought over time. You can get to the bass in the Zeros, but you need to get over natural psychoacoustic limitations / biases such as the well-known Fletcher-Munson curve to get it there. That means some users will have a propensity to crank these a few dB higher than they ought. I personally find that, because they are bass-shy in even the mid-bass, they are really not very satisfying to listen to with any genre until they're turned up a little. And listen, I'm not a basshead either. But I know you need to have *some* bass information to comprehend harmonic structures in the music you're listening to. And speaking of music-geek talk, the main use cases I can think for the Zeros would be a) for monitoring reference - though they are not nearly so bassless or horrific-sounding, these would give you at least some idea of what your mix sounds like on a phone or laptop speaker as you're making it - and b) for serious notation / transcription work. Clearing all that stuff out from 200 on down does have the interesting side effect of making it easier to hear certain details above that point. I think that's where people are getting confused on these. They suddenly hear all this stuff they never heard before! Well, guess what - for roughly the same cash, I can slap on a set of ZSTs or my Final E1000s and hear all the same stuff, plus a bit more of the bassline. I will say that the Zeros are very pretty, though! (I have them in the robin's-egg blue. They look great with the orange eartips!) I'm honestly going to keep them just for the looks and for the occasional "well this is gonna be different" reference in my own mixes.

So I was at work one day and one of the techs that work at my job started raving on and on about these headphones to me and my manager. So I decided to purchase them just to see if what they said were true or not. I must say these are some impressive headphones for the price. I got these on sale, so I am not sure how much you would get them for now. They are comfortable to me and my ears, everyone is different but I have worn these for hours with no ear fatigue like I use to with over the head headphones. They look sleek I love the quality of the cord and the design and the ease of just plugging the headphones into my ps5. The cord length is perfect for what I use it for and the over the ear fit is secure and provides great stability so it doesn’t feel like they will fall out. The braid cord connects right into my ps5 controller and the sound quality is definitely great. All and all I would recommend these for gaming, listen to music and or podcast, definitely worth it to me.

Pour le prix le rendu sonore neutre ne démérite pas les reviews. Ce produit est excellent et le confort optimal. Attention, les basses sont un peu en retrait mais ce n'est pas forcément une mauvaise chose sur de longues périodes d'écoute.

Well what can I say. I wasn't expecting much for the money. I have goto say these are earbuds are the best I have had and I have tried loads of different ones around this price mark. I have tried blue tooth ones which have sort of been ok until I tried these out. Reading the reviews i thought I would give them a try. From the moment I started using them I knew these were good. I can’t imagine how good their more expensive models must be like. The only criticism if I have to say is the deep base was lacking a very little but not enough to say they were bad. If you are looking for a great sound on a budget you won’t find anything better for the money. Even the cord wasn’t getting in my way and they are comfortable to wear. I would certainly buy again if not try their more expensive models to compare.

Fone Top, zero ruído e qualidade mto boa.

read about them on reddit and they are great! the are also slim so you dont feel them if you sleep with them on.

اداءها جداً جداً بطل على سعرها ، ما ندمت على اي ريال دفعتها فيها لكن عيبها الوحيد ان سلكها قصير شوي ، متعود على سماعتي القديمه ان سلكها كان طويل ، اما الباقي ١٠/١٠
