Youtube Video Summary

7Hz + Crinacle Zero 2 brings the kind of fun that embarrasses pricier sets. At just $25, its single dynamic driver delivers a thick, grin-inducing low end while keeping the mids tidy and treble un-shouty. The presentation sits a little behind the head—more depth than width—so the image feels cohesive rather than showy. Compared with multi-BA hybrids in the $400–$800 crowd, this tuning is simply more enjoyable: more bass, same tonal sanity, zero drama.

Build is basic but smart: feather-light shells in silver/blue/orange, a detachable 2-pin, and a soft, cheap cable that works. Tip rolling dials the flavor—neutral with stock tips, or extra slam with bass-boosty options like “render” styles—yet the core character stays coherent across sources, from modest dongles to beefy amps. Net result: a new default recommendation in the ultra-budget bracket and an easy top-ten dynamic pick on sheer enjoyment; the only real nit is the bargain cable, which is forgivable at this price.

7hz Zero 2 x Crinacle reviewed by Audio Amigo

Audio Amigo 7 * score rescaled + normalized
Great all-rounder with excellent Bass presentation. No recessed mids or shouty/reduced treble. Cable is bad. Comes in 4 colors.
Youtube Video Summary

7Hz Zero:2 x Crinacle takes the OG recipe and sweetens it for everyday listening: a warm-neutral tilt with genuinely stout sub-bass and mid-bass punch, yet mids stay clean and un-recessed. Treble is smoother and less sparkly than the original, avoiding fatigue while keeping cymbals crisp. Technical chops are neck-and-neck with the OG—solid detail retrieval, tidy separation, average stage for the price—and the lightweight shells are comfy if the fit is deep enough. Accessories are basic but generous on tips (six pairs narrow/wide bores), cables are merely passable (the OG’s bonded split is an annoyance), and there’s still no case. Aesthetics get a thumbs-up, with multiple colorways and a fun see-through shell on the 02. Compared to peers, Zero:2 out-rumbles most mild-V and “warm” rivals without smearing the mids, making it a budget all-rounder that hits above its bracket—especially when street prices dip toward $20.

The OG 7Hz Zero is the “bright-neutral” counterpoint: leaner bass but extra treble sparkle and air that lights up rock and metal, while keeping vocals and guitars naturally placed. Bass is still accurate with full extension, just not as punch-happy as the 02. Together they form two distinct flavors of good: pick Zero:2 for the best sub-bass heft at this money without going full V-shape, or pick Zero for a cleaner, crisper top-end that stays controlled. On the Audio Amigo arbitrary scale, both are rated “This is Brilliant”—held back mainly by the meh cables and lack of a pouch—but as budget starters, they’re easy recommends: Zero for neutral-curious ears, Zero:2 for bass-friendly balance that still respects the mids and treble.

Woohoo another harman/df! More bass than OG Zero, but doesn't feel as clean and open. Clarity is similar as OG Zero because of the boosted bass and decreaed treble. Z300 is a better version of this with more treble and better build/cable/packaging.

Average Tunign Grade

C+
  • The tuning leans easygoing, yet occasional unevenness nudges it away from greatness. A bit of EQ polish can smooth things nicely.

Average Technical Grade

B-

Bass C+
It delivers adequate punch and texture, though nothing stands out. Sub-bass presence is hinted rather than delivered.
Mids B-
Expect a competent midrange that keeps vocals grounded and instruments clear. Tone is acceptable across multiple genres.
Treble C+
Expect a polite treble presentation that balances presence with restraint. Percussion carries a pleasant sparkle.
Soundstage B-
Decent spatial presentation with noticeable width and a modest step forward in depth perception. There's a mild sense of width to enjoy.
Details B-
Ambient cues appear, albeit with softer focus than die-hard resolution seekers may prefer. You can follow supporting instruments well.
Imaging B-
A stable phantom center appears, lending vocals a consistent anchor. It maintains a coherent phantom center.
Gaming C+
Fundamental left/right positioning with limited depth perception. Works for non-competitive gaming but lacks precision.
