Sound quality general comment
- Original Sound Fidelity: A+
- Recommendation: S
- Personal preference: A+
The TANCHJIM ZERO, despite its low price, not only delivers very good audio specs, but also offers excellent range and sound balance that rivals high-end models.
Of course, this does not mean that the ZERO stands alone by far in the same price range.
In terms of overall resolution, the Tripowin Lea remains at the top of its price range, and its crystal-clear midrange, which even surpasses the high-end class, keeps its rivals at bay.
In terms of overall performance, the Moondrop CHU is ahead of the ZERO. And in terms of sound balance, especially in terms of original sound fidelity, the 7Hz Salnotes ZERO outperforms the TANCHJIM ZERO.
However, in terms of range and localization accuracy in the high-frequency direction, the ZERO can outperform these rivals and is the best choice, especially for those who do not like strong low-frequency sounds.
