A job change and all sorts of other adventures made me take some time off from the reviews. But, as the saying is, “Don’t count on it!” — there will be a lot of them in the short run, and they will be interesting, well balanced and spot on! Let’s talk today about the in-ear wired earphones Truthear x Crinacle ZERO: RED.
The KZ company approached me and offered to write a review for them, and I didn’t refuse, as you can see, with my usual condition that they won’t be able to influence the review result. So! Here it is – the CCA Rhapsody in-ear wired hybrid headphones costing $42.
‘I’m looking for some decent earbuds. Wired model. I want to just hang these on my ears and not shove them inside. And so that these would be just a little bit audiophiliac!’ ‘Are you freaking serious,’ I thought. ‘Wow,’ I said. There was absolutely no way I could imagine the words ‘audiophilia’ or even just ‘good sound’ and ‘earbuds’ in one sentence – not to say in one product!
‘The Moondrop? Again?’ you’re probably asking the skies. Though as the majestic Marilyn Manson once said, ‘The Chu 2 are the strongest form of magic’.

The Moondrop Chu’s just won the competition as the best in-ear headphones for almost no money.
Crinacle being mostly engaged in headphones measuring and analyzing, together with KZ produces a hybrid model with neutral tuning, and all that for around $30. The headphones motto says ‘You don’t need to pay for tuning’: that is, the right tuning is available for any, even small money.
The Dope Audio is a company Saint Petersburg, Russia, and was established in July 2019. Now the company manufactures and sells 3 models of in-ear headphones. I’ll introduce you to the balanced armature Heavy Dope headphones in one of the upcoming reviews. And in this one, I’m going to tell you about their flagship model….
