Essentially a slightly upgraded 7Hz Zero. Slightly better driver, more comforable shells, better cable, comes with a carry pouch. Good Value

Literally OG 7hz Zero with a better driver, better clarity and resolution. Clean balanced sound. Vocal/mid focused. Treble can get peaky at times. Overall solid value.

Bass-forward V-shape with big sub-bass and mid-bass; a lighter shelf than Rose Finch makes it a touch more balanced but still aimed at bassheads. Upper-mids keep vocals clear when turned up, while stage and treble detail are modest. Punchy sub-bass and mid-bass with a less extreme shelf than Rose Finch; upper-mids remain clear at higher volumes. Small stage with masked treble detail and recessed mids; overall balance strongly favors bass.
Youtube Video Summary

White Snow is a bass-heavy, V-shaped single-DD set built around a 10 mm LCP driver, targeting listeners who want weight and rumble. Compared with the Rose Finch reference, the bass shelf is roughly lower, which nudges the tonality a bit more balanced while remaining distinctly bass-tilted. Expect big sub-bass and generous mid-bass that define the presentation and set the overall energy.

The midrange sits behind that shelf, yet the upper-mids are placed carefully so vocals stay intelligible even at higher volumes. Treble focuses on the lower treble; extension exists but finer detail is often masked by the bass, so micro-information is secondary to groove. Staging is compact and not tuned for width or air, making this a fun, boomy listen for bass-centric genres rather than a spacious, analytical set.

C+ Tech

The HZSOUND White Snow is a single-dynamic IEM (10 mm LCP+PU diaphragm) aimed at the ultra-budget bracket, typically selling for about $35–37. Its tuning skews neutral-bright: bass is on the lean side while the upper-mid region has mild emphasis, yielding clean vocals and a light, airy presentation.

Technical ability is reasonable for the price: detail retrieval and imaging are competent but not standout, and the stage leans more open than deep—consistent with its lighter low end and energized upper mids. At 20 Ω and ~108 dB sensitivity, it’s easy to drive from phones and dongles; the package also includes multiple tips and spare nozzle meshes, which help fine-tune fit and upkeep.

The trade-offs are predictable for this segment: limited sub-bass physicality and a slightly forward upper-mid/treble that can sound thin on bright masters, though it benefits vocal clarity and separation. As a low-cost daily set prioritizing clarity over warmth, White Snow offers solid value without breaking class norms, provided the listener is comfortable with its leaner tonality.
