Review on 🎧 ZERO AUDIO Carbo Tenore ZH-DX200-CT Ear Stereo Headphone by Tammy Johnson

It's great, BUT. Update a month later: This sent back. The problem is very light grain. It's small but it prevents the music from being musical. I wouldn't call her sterile or analytical. They have a good detailed sound. They detect poorly recorded music or low bitrates. They need a bit of volume to sound their best. I have about 25 songs that I use to listen to through speakers and headphones. While using them I would skip to the next song instead of forgetting I was listening to the headphones and getting lost in the music. And when I used them, that little horn grain or raspy voice (think Bob Dylan) would distract me from what I was doing. They're very light and I wasn't too keen on the curved cord, but that wasn't a big deal either. Another pair of phones might be better if you wear them over the ear, but they're so light you might not feel the need to wear them over the ear. There is a star deduction for the somewhat annoying noise when playing music. They only have about 20 hours of playtime, so I wouldn't call them completely broken, but they should be over that new sound out of the box. Like many people, I'm looking for all the sound I can get cheaply. Headphones. And technically they are very good and the internet is full of great reviews. The highs are good and just follow the hiss line. If there are hisses, you can hear them, but it won't make you scratch your ears. The middle is good but not particularly impressive. Midbass isn't as controlled as we'd like, but isn't smeared either. The drums are adequately controlled. I would wish for a little better separation between kick drum and bass guitar, but that's not bad either. There is a very subtle bloom/expansion in the bass. You don't really notice it, but you would if it weren't there. The bass is exceptional. If you like big, subtle bass then this isn't the place. If you like super controlled bass (e.g. hearing a mallet on a kick drum and a finger pick/plucking on the bass strings) then this isn't the place either. But I think many people will find that the bass is generally well handled. The level of bass detail I'm talking about just can't be matched by headphones under $50. They go very well with acoustic guitar. I think they do best with details like cymbals and other "ring" stuff. Don't get me wrong these are very good phones, I'm just very picky when it comes to people trying to select based on sound performance. I'm no soundstage expert, but I'd say the soundstage on them is hardly adequate. There is no space around the instruments and all instruments sound like they are in a straight line. There is little sense of the space in which the instruments are playing and/or you can't hear much of the instruments' reverberation. I'm not saying these things don't exist at all, but they don't stand out in any way. I mean they do a very good job and do a good job for the price but I don't think some people think these are $100+ headphones. But I see that some people would really like it and a lot of people like it if you read the reviews. They're just not very impressive in what I'm looking for. While I could argue that they are technically better, I liked the Vsonic GR02 Bass Edition better. And I liked my old NUFORCE 700M (about $90 at the time) a lot more. Sometimes they're a bit pushy and don't forgive poorly recorded music. Not bad, just a little unforgiving. One can make a case that is good in phones because it is accurate. And I agree, but sometimes just getting me out of music is enough. When something roars like a trump card, you'll find it roars. If you hate Bob Dylan's voice, you really hate him with these. For example, I'm listening to Miles Davis and the horn doesn't sound right. Yes, it's meant to be raw and catchy, and it is, but lacks a certain amount of woodwind to make up for it. Can it be a bit dry, a bit sterile? By that I mean they lack the musicality that makes me want to listen to more music. When I first auditioned with my music, I found that instead of getting lost in the song and forgetting I was listening to headphones, I switched to a different song. I suspect they could benefit from a headphone amp, but I won't buy an amp. $50 amp for $50 headphones. I'd rather spend that money on a bigger budget for the phones themselves. for balanced sound. Not flat, not V-shaped and not too tiring. If I were told to leave them I wouldn't cry myself to sleep but I plan to increase my budget a bit and find something that suits me. a little more Feel more musicality, a little more air around the instruments and more impressive mids. really like these.
