So yeah, gave away these brand new to a friend/colleague who listens to music on his Razer Hammerhead TWS, so I wanted him to have something nicer.
I also got the JCally 3.5mm to Lightning DAC dongle for his iPhone, much better built than the garbo and flimsy Apple dongles, and also a UGreen hardcase because the stock Truthear "coin pouch" case sucks in my opinion.
Still waiting for a pair of Openheart 0.78mm cables to arrive which I'll pass to him next time, because the stock cables are very thin and filmsy, easy to tangle.
I tried them on for a bit and maybe I have big ass ear holes because the huge nozzles don't bother me one bit (then again I have the Blessing 2 as my daily portable carry which are also known for having huge nozzles so).
The blue face plate is quite stunning in person, very tasteful. Very light IEMs overall.
Vocals seem surprisingly crisp but are a little recessed and hollow, but nothing bad. I just prefer a forward midrange. The subbass has a nice rumble but didn't feel overpowering. The treble didn't feel sibilant to me (in comparison the LetShuoer S12 was sibilant as hell to my ears)
Really nice pair of IEMs for the price overall.
Ps, yes he enjoyed them quite a bit, says the Razer Hammerhead TWS sucks now.
More update: his mind is blown after switching to Spotify Premium, it's 1AM in the morning and he's messaging me about the stuff he's never noticed in songs before.
A true friend.
I gave a good iem to a friend of mine as well. He completed another collage course and I have him a Tin T2. A shame he likes a little more bass but he's still happy about how clear everything sounds.
About the Truthear Zero I had the exact same impression you did, specially in the midrange.
When I gave my friend a pair of Koss KPH30i his girlfriend promptly took them from him.. lol
Anyway, you're a great friend for that. Having your friends experience great sound quality for the first time is an awesome feeling, like sharing something of our world to them.
