Remarkably energetic set. But upper treble is off.

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.

Great all-rounder with excellent Bass presentation. No recessed mids or shouty/reduced treble. Cable is bad. Comes in 4 colors.

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 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.

NiceHCK DB2 Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C
  • Uneven emphasis across the spectrum keeps the presentation unsettled and awkward. Acoustic instruments lose their natural body.

Average Technical Grade

E+
  • The presentation is claustrophobic and blurred, leaving simple arrangements sounding chaotic and lifeless. The presentation feels more like background noise than music.
Mids C-
It delivers a workable midrange that could benefit from smoother transitions. Timbre isn't quite convincing yet.
Treble E+
Expect a dark-tilted treble that keeps excitement in check. Sibilants are dull, but so is everything else.
Dynamics C+
Dynamics feel competent, bringing energy without the finest detail. It carries energy without sounding aggressive.
Soundstage B
Good soundstage with proper width and depth, placing instruments in clearly defined positions. Instruments sit in their own lanes.
Gaming D-
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.
