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.

Nice frequency response. Stellar Cable. Bright but not overly in the vocals. I would still call it a mild V-Shaped sound signature.

Female vocals focused tuning with decent separation between instrumentals Because of the over emphasis on female vocals, it does not replay male centric or bassier genres well

7hz Zero 2 x Crinacle Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

B-
  • It sounds pleasant overall, with some uneven spots that hint at room for refinement. Vocals remain pleasant despite the imperfections.

Average Technical Grade

D+
  • The tuning renders a cramped window into the music, with nuance fading fast. Expect grainy textures to creep in.
Mids B
The mids are articulate and well-balanced, lending body to instruments. Instrument layering remains stable.
Treble E+
Treble leans dark, softening cymbals and trimming extension. Brightness is replaced with a murky haze.
Dynamics C+
You get reliable macrodynamics, with micro shifts that remain only adequate. A reliable performer for most tracks.
Soundstage B
The presentation supplies a believable venue outline where each instrument owns its pocket of space. The stage opens up nicely for live cuts.
Gaming C
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.

Truthear Gate Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C
  • Tonality remains inconsistent, with uneven peaks and dips that disrupt musical flow. You'll constantly notice peaks or dips pulling focus.

Average Technical Grade

D+
  • Even moderate complexity exposes the limited resolution and narrow sense of space. Technical fans will find it lacking.
Bass C+
Bass performance is average—present enough but rarely inspiring. It neither offends nor impresses.
Mids D+
Midrange is highly uneven, veering between shouty peaks and hollow dips. Tonality swings between shouty and withdrawn.
Treble D
Highs feel erratic, with dips and spikes that make the signature unpredictable. It alternates between splashy and dull.
Dynamics E-
Dynamic expression is extremely poor, draining impact from every hit. Notes lack the startle or decay they need.
Soundstage C-
Stereo spread is acceptable, yet the image resembles a stage set without depth behind the curtain. Depth feels more like a gentle slope.
Details B
Finer gestures snap into focus without sounding clinical or forced. Layering holds strong across genres.
Imaging B-
A stable phantom center appears, lending vocals a consistent anchor. It maintains a coherent phantom center.
Gaming C-
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.
