00:00:01
this is the truthe zero it was the
00:00:05
world's first dual Dynamic driver I am
00:00:08
with a proper subwoofer crossover and
00:00:10
now nearly 3 years later we finally have
00:00:15
a
00:00:17
seal the zero
00:00:20
blue
00:00:26
two for those of you who are too lazy to
00:00:29
watch the rest of this video video let
00:00:30
me just give you a quick summary of
00:00:31
what's new number one yes the zero
00:00:34
bluetoo still has the same renowned dual
00:00:36
DD setup but now comes with improved
00:00:39
drivers similar to the zero red number
00:00:41
two the tuning is now even more
00:00:44
compliant to Harmon in ear 2019 with
00:00:47
improved Distortion performance across
00:00:50
the board number three big treble
00:00:52
extension improvements the blueto now
00:00:54
reaches further into the air frequencies
00:00:56
compared to the original zero as well as
00:00:59
the zero red number four a highly
00:01:01
requested one We Shrunk the nozzle yes
00:01:05
we heard your complaints we know that on
00:01:07
the older models the nozzles can be big
00:01:09
Chalker so on the blueo at its widest
00:01:12
point the nozzle is now a much more
00:01:14
manageable
00:01:16
6.2 mm and at number five we have a new
00:01:19
upgraded cable that's very well received
00:01:21
by our beta testers and on top of that
00:01:23
we also have a new mic option that comes
00:01:26
with an additional microphone cable you
00:01:29
heard that right additional and number
00:01:32
six just like with on the red the
00:01:34
bluetoo now comes with a base plus
00:01:36
adapter enjoy a 5 DB base boost with
00:01:39
minimal volume loss and the retail price
00:01:42
drum roll please is the same as the zero
00:01:46
red coming in at
00:01:47
$64.99 for the no mic option and just $5
00:01:51
extra for the microphone option the
00:01:53
blueto should now be available for
00:01:55
pre-order at hangout. audio shenen audio
00:01:58
Amazon as well as AliExpress and that is
00:02:01
all the important points but for those
00:02:03
who really want to know more then well
00:02:06
watch on first let's just talk about the
00:02:09
progression the history of the truth ear
00:02:12
zeros because at this point there are
00:02:14
three the original zero which some
00:02:16
people refer to as the zero blue was
00:02:19
truth ear's debut model and back then in
00:02:23
2023 many people were asking why is kren
00:02:26
collaborating with an unknown brand is
00:02:30
he stupid but that is of course with the
00:02:31
benefit of hindsight and now truth is
00:02:34
probably one of the Premier chfi Brands
00:02:37
to beat today but going back to the zero
00:02:39
yes it was the very first dual DD IM
00:02:43
with a proper subwofer configuration the
00:02:45
Crossovers between the two drivers were
00:02:47
set at about 150 HZ which created a very
00:02:50
controlled and clean Bas shell which
00:02:53
again was never before done in a pure
00:02:55
Dynamic IM IM and of course a question
00:02:57
on a lot of people's minds at the time
00:02:59
and sometimes even now is why use dual
00:03:02
DDS are the people are using Bas plan
00:03:04
ARS why stick to the tried and true old
00:03:07
school if you will Dynamic driver I've
00:03:10
made my points in the old launch video
00:03:12
but for those of you who are too lazy to
00:03:13
click on it well simply put Dynamic
00:03:15
drivers still have better Distortion
00:03:17
better hit room and better base leakage
00:03:20
tolerances overall compared to almost
00:03:22
any other driver and of course famously
00:03:24
the original zero was tuned to the
00:03:26
Harmon iie 2019 Target because back then
00:03:29
there was virtually no IMS that were
00:03:32
tuned to Harmon at under
00:03:35
$100 then we have the red the zero red
00:03:39
where the original zero was tuned to
00:03:41
Harmon the red was tuned to my taste
00:03:45
less upper mids as well as less base but
00:03:48
it wasn't just simply a rune the red
00:03:50
also comes with improved drivers that
00:03:52
have better Distortion as well as better
00:03:54
base extension and of course the red was
00:03:56
where we introduced the base plus
00:03:58
adapter in that case you got about about
00:04:00
3 DB on a 10 Ohm resistor and that's
00:04:03
where things lowed around for a while
00:04:05
the blue and the red sold like absolute
00:04:08
hot cakes and is one of my most
00:04:10
successful collaborations to date but as
00:04:13
you know like with my previous
00:04:15
involvements we are not one to rest on
00:04:17
our Laurels so we are constantly in the
00:04:20
back end searching for a way to make the
00:04:22
original zero even better and finally
00:04:25
again after almost 3 years we're finally
00:04:29
here the blue two yes comes with the
00:04:32
improved drivers that result in better
00:04:34
Distortion performances similar to that
00:04:36
on the red and with the original zero
00:04:38
being tuned to be as Harmon compliant as
00:04:41
possible we have to continue that Legacy
00:04:44
with the blue two the blue two is now
00:04:46
even more Harmon compliant we improved
00:04:49
the base extension we reshaped the base
00:04:51
slope and we also readjusted the upper
00:04:53
mids to fit more of the Harmon 2019
00:04:56
profile because apparently that's what
00:04:58
people want and on top of all of that it
00:05:00
is also Harmon compliant on both the 711
00:05:03
coupler as well as the 5128 measurement
00:05:06
rate now I know that there is a common
00:05:08
criticism on both the original zero as
00:05:10
well as on a zero red and that is
00:05:12
there's not a lot of trouble extension
00:05:14
on both sets well we have fixed it
00:05:17
observe look at that beautiful extension
00:05:20
all the way up without breaking a sweat
00:05:22
at this point let me just say that we
00:05:24
have tuned the bluetoo with foam tips in
00:05:26
mind but you can also listen to it on
00:05:28
the silicone tips where going to get
00:05:30
more Brilliance as well as trouble
00:05:31
extension and yes we have achieved the
00:05:34
most highly requested adjustment of the
00:05:36
zero series we have Shrunk the nozzle
00:05:39
the nozzle of the original zero as well
00:05:41
as on the Zero red comes in at a chunky
00:05:44
6.8 mm at its widest point but on the
00:05:47
Bluetooth we have shrunk it down to just
00:05:50
6.2 at the lip and yes the base plus
00:05:53
adapter from the red is now available in
00:05:56
the blue too but we have also made
00:05:57
improvements on that front with we did
00:05:59
two very big things first of all we have
00:06:02
reduced the value of the resistor from
00:06:04
10 ohms down to 5 ohms what that means
00:06:06
is it going to get less volume loss
00:06:09
compared to that on the red on top of
00:06:11
that we also make the changes more
00:06:12
sensitive so instead of a plus 3db base
00:06:15
boost on the red you're going to get a
00:06:17
plus 5 DB base boost on the blue too but
00:06:19
at the same time this change May pose an
00:06:23
issue which I will go to later on next
00:06:25
let's talk about the elephant in the
00:06:27
room which is the Zero's reputation as a
00:06:30
gaming I am we know we acknowledge it
00:06:33
and that's why with the new blueto it
00:06:35
finally comes with a microphone cable
00:06:38
for all you sweaty tryhards but it's not
00:06:40
just simply replacing the cable with a
00:06:43
microphone cable no you still get the
00:06:46
old regular cable in case you still want
00:06:48
to use the impedance adapter but now you
00:06:51
have an additional cable with a
00:06:53
microphone I'm not exactly sure why
00:06:55
truth year agreed to do this but hey
00:06:58
more value for you not I would say not
00:07:01
to ask me about how it performs in games
00:07:03
because I have been exclusively playing
00:07:05
quick play on Marvel Rivals my fellow
00:07:07
rival and drawers would attest that
00:07:09
footsteps are [ __ ] loud on that game
00:07:12
but in my experience Harmon tune IMS
00:07:15
tend to be quite good in games due to
00:07:17
their immersiveness as well as Clarity
00:07:20
however because of its reputation as a
00:07:23
decent gaming am I am certain that many
00:07:27
of you would be plugging the Bluetooth
00:07:29
straight into the PC motherboard and let
00:07:32
me say don't I'm not going to throw you
00:07:35
any snake wall I'm not going to tell you
00:07:37
to buy a $500 amplifier all I'm saying
00:07:39
is to listen to the Bluetooth the way it
00:07:42
was tuned you can use something as
00:07:45
simple as an apple dongle just never
00:07:50
never directly out the PC and the reason
00:07:52
for this is simple the audio section of
00:07:55
a PC motherboard no matter how fancy the
00:07:59
motherboard
00:08:00
is usually garbage now for an audio
00:08:02
output to be considered good what you
00:08:05
really want is for the output impedance
00:08:08
to be as low as possible the bluetoo and
00:08:12
by extension every collaboration I've
00:08:14
worked on are all tuned with good
00:08:16
sources in mind typically with an output
00:08:18
impedance of under 1 ohm and that
00:08:21
includes the Apple Dongo but your
00:08:24
typical motherboard audio output is
00:08:26
going to have an output impedance of up
00:08:29
to 50 ohms do you remember this the base
00:08:33
plus adapter well how it works is by
00:08:36
adding a resistor into the signal chain
00:08:38
which reduces the volume of the full
00:08:41
range driver more than the subwoofer
00:08:44
resulting in a base boost in the case of
00:08:46
the bluetoo we're using a 5 Ohm resistor
00:08:49
which results in a 5 DB base boost now
00:08:52
instead of 5 ohms imagine if it were 10
00:08:56
20 30 50 your typical motherboard output
00:09:00
basically acts as a base plus Plus+ plus
00:09:03
which would make any of the zeros the
00:09:06
original the Reds as well as the blueo
00:09:08
into absolute mud cannons let's take a
00:09:12
look at this example this is the blueo
00:09:15
that is plugged in into my office PC
00:09:17
which uses an assus Rock stct z690 I
00:09:20
gaming Wi-Fi motherboard a very highend
00:09:24
motherboard and yet it still looks like
00:09:26
this motherboard audio is garbage again
00:09:29
the solution is a simple $10 Apple Dongo
00:09:33
that you probably already own but for
00:09:35
those of you who don't well we have a
00:09:38
solution for you you see now that I have
00:09:40
my own online retail store we can
00:09:42
provide you an exclusive bundle if you
00:09:44
purchase from us at hangout. audio buy
00:09:47
the Bluetooth from us and we'll add in
00:09:49
the very powerful jkelly jm6 Pro worth
00:09:53
$15 for just $5 extra it's a dongle that
00:09:56
uses the max 97220 up and with which
00:09:59
makes it twice as powerful as the Apple
00:10:02
dongle 60 M at 32 ohms compared to 30 m
00:10:06
get the Bluetooth D bundle exclusively
00:10:08
at hangout. audio for $69 for the non-
00:10:11
mic option and $75 for the microphone
00:10:14
option and if you want a more expensive
00:10:16
alternative for whatever reason you can
00:10:18
always watch my video where I talk about
00:10:20
the best dongles at every reasonable
00:10:22
price point and then get a feel for what
00:10:24
suits you and that's it I think I am
00:10:27
done chilling the TRU your X CHR zero
00:10:30
blue 2 the next evolution in the zero
00:10:34
dual DDS and if you're taking this
00:10:36
opportunity to wait for the inevitable
00:10:39
Red 2 then let me just say it's not that
00:10:42
soon I see you guys next week and don't
00:10:46
die [ __ ] off
