Sound quality description

In this review, I use the standard eartips size L and drive it with the FiiO M15.

 

The 7Hz Salnotes ZERO delivers a neutral studio tuning style sound, similar to a very balanced RTINGS Target.

Sound quality general comment
  • Original Sound Fidelity: S-
  • Recommendation: S-
  • Personal preference: A+

 

If you are looking for a great studio-tuned earphone at a low price, the ZERO can be counted among the first few to consider. It is generally above the price level in terms of audio specs and is an earphone that I would recommend over many models with price tags in the hundreds of dollars.

 

However, I would still recommend the CHU and Lea over the Salnotes ZERO. The Lea in particular has a level of sound that I feel is very much beyond what one could hope for in this price range.

The relationship between these three models would be Lea for resolution, CHU for overall performance, and ZERO for sound balance.
