Most common complaints

In owners' own words

“the original Zero is one of the most annoying IEMs I've used when it comes to the tips.”
— @sidesaladaudio on YouTube
“It seems unneccessarily large/bulky.”
— @ChrisLightbulb on YouTube
“Still, i prefer the Zero (OG) than Zero 2 but i would choose Hola all the time.”
— @faisal_firdausi on YouTube
“I don't get that same lower treble "piercing" sound as I do with Zeros.”
— @2m7b5 on YouTube
“I have the Zero2 and it's just alright in my opinion. Definitely not bad, but also not as good as a lot of people say. Treble is quite 'metallic' and not very pleasing for my ears. Bass and mids are alright. The cable is absolute trash.”
— @xamineh on YouTube
“Crin's collabs are really lacking lately.”
— @aRc11-11 on YouTube
“Decided to get the gate because wasn't a fan of the color eartips and wire”
— @bennypaddycake7182 on YouTube
“like on the 7hz Zero2 stock cable, and they're transparent.. Uncomfy and hideous”
— ErrollGarnerTheGreat on Reddit
“I bought the Zero 2 last year and now the cable is completely broken near the earpiece.”
— @HddbVdbd-f9b on YouTube
“the zero2 (i have, and didn't like - preferring the overall signature of the OG Zero apart from the missing bass)”
— softwarebuyer2015 on Reddit
“i got the 7hz salnotes zero 2 and although they were pretty good, iems are js kinda uncomfortable especially with being wired and their designs. They have good enough audio quality but the downsides unfortunately werent worth it for me”
— SleeplessNephophile on Reddit
“I have recently bought an iem earphone (7hz salnotes zero 2) which had cost me around 1800rs. After receiving the product i noticed that the mic wasn't working at all.”
— PonkaGond on Reddit

Setup quirks & things to watch for

Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.

“Looks like the pre-installed tips (red) are the 2nd largest in the box, they are a little small so the seal is not great, but the largest (yellow) are too big, never had this problem before with the original 7hz zero”
— VariousArtists on Audio Science Review
“Audio quality is great for a 1st time iem user, only issue is comfort due to iem shape / ear tips.”
