What 7Hz Salnotes Zero 2 owners say

“the Linsoul Zero:2 absolutely shock me at how good they sound driven by my old Samsung Note 9, no dongle, no nothing. I have weird small ear canals for a big guy, and these fit perfectly with the pink tips that came stock on them.”

“is now quite content with the IEM.”
— @bosansekali898 on YouTube
“the original Zero is one of the most annoying IEMs I've used when it comes to the tips.”

What KZ EDX Pro owners say

“they are really nice”
— @peanutbutterbean1738 on YouTube
“Insane audio quality for 5 bucks.”
— @BernardoOne on YouTube
“KZ EDX Pro never sounded good in the first place. Very V-shaped sound which bleeds all over the mids. The bass is although pretty satisfying. The treble is sharp and mids are practically non-existent.”
