Hi everyone! My 7Hz Zero:2 project is moving forward, and I’m starting to think about the fit.
I’ve heard that the stock tips on the Zero:2 are okay, but some people say that switching to something like Tangzu Sancai, SpinFit W1, or Dunu S&S can really improve the sub-bass and isolation.
For those who own the Zero:2, which tips gave you the best seal?
Does a better seal help with that "smooth" bass the Zero:2 is famous for?
I want to make sure I test these with the best possible fit for my upcoming review. Would love to hear your budget-friendly recommendations!

Hi everyone! As I’m finalizing my first budget Hi-Fi setup (planning to pair the 7Hz Zero:2 with the FiiO SnowSky Echo Mini), I’m curious about the balanced output.
The SnowSky has a 4.4mm port, but the Zero:2 comes with a standard 3.5mm cable.
Does switching to a balanced 4.4mm cable actually improve sound quality (soundstage, separation) on budget IEMs like these?
Or is it just about extra power that they don't really need?
I want my first review to be thorough, so I'm wondering if I should invest in a balanced cable upgrade from the start. What’s your experience with balanced output on budget gear?

I'm about to start my review project, and I'm stuck between these two legends. I know they both sound great for $20-25, but I’m curious about one thing: scaling.If I use a high-quality source like a FiiO DAP with a balanced 4.4mm output (via a cable upgrade), which of these will benefit more? I’ve heard the Zero:2 has better bass texture, but the Chu II might have more detail in the treble.What’s your experience? I want my first review to be really detailed, so I’d love some community input on this!

Hi guys! I've been researching for weeks and I think I'm settled on the 7Hz Zero:2 paired with the new FiiO SnowSky Echo Mini. Does anyone have experience with this combo? Is the 4.4mm output on the FiiO worth it for these IEMs? Planning to start a blog soon to document my journey.

Hi everyone! I've been a smartphone listener for years, but I'm looking to finally get a dedicated player. The SnowSky Echo Mini looks amazing for its size and price. Does anyone here already have it? How is the UI speed and the 4.4mm output quality? Thanks!
