Reddit reviews ZERO AUDIO-Ear Stereo Headphone Carbo Tenore ZH-DX200-CT

ZERO AUDIO carbo tenore I've had these for a while now and the sound is amazing for the price.

Everybody needs good earbuds. I'm somewhat over a hifi geek, and I especially love hi fi stuff on the cheap. Here are some of the best you can get for not a lot of money

Zero Audio Carbo Tenore

-Bahzad

I actually found these on this sub, ending an exhaustive search for amazing IEMs I could afford. They are the best audiophile purchase I have ever made. The bass is deep and round and tight and powerful, the mids are strong and intricate and well balanced, the highs are lucid and crystal clear, and the soundstage is incredible.

I don't know if these earphones are still meme'd much around here anymore as I haven't been on here in a few months but I own the Zero Audio Carbo Tenore's which I find are pretty damn good under the $50 mark. Just make sure to treat them with care as the strain relief on some units can be slightly shoddy.

I have these: Zero Audio Carbo Tenore. They sound pretty good for $40. They also have a more bass-heavy model.

Which? These?

https://www.amazon.ca/AUDIO-ear-stereo-headphone-Tenore-ZH-DX200-CT/dp/B0093VVP0Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466805717&sr=8-1&keywords=tenores

the Zero Audio Carbo-Tenore's have them. These under $60 headphones have been described by /u/OJneg as among the best IEM values ever. I bought a pair during the initial hype train and I think they are a terrific value. and sound very good.

> Good, sturdy build quality is a big plus

not for $40.

This would be my recommendation

I have the cabo tenores which I can comfortably say are the best sounding iem's i've ever owned, but i just found out that these exist, and they seem perfect for heavier bass.

I would grab the famous 5$ VE Monk when they get back in stock. They're more than adequate for the price and at 5$ why not have them.

The Carbon Tenores are pretty popular around here.

He who shall not be named recommends the TTPOD T1

Lastly, the Xiaomi Piston 3 have a decent rep.

Hmm. If you were in the NY area, you could stop by the Head-Fi meet next Saturday.

Looks like you just missed a recent Head-Fi meet in Ohio. Keep an eye out for meets near you.

Other than that, I would say try out good cheap headphones (and IEMs), and if you end up enjoying any of their qualities, there are always logical upgrades.

For example:
1.) If you purchase the Koss PortaPro and enjoy the warm tilt and thick bass, the HD 650, LCD-2 and ZMF Omni are logical upgrades.

2.) If the RE-400's or Carbo Tenore's neutrality floats your boat, give the HD 600 (smoother with less sub-bass) and HE-400i (brighter with more sub-bass) a spin.

Learning to read measurements is a great help as well. Lots of great stuff available for cheap (especially with IEMs), if you look around. =)

If you really do grow to love this hobby, you can make a habit out of buying and selling headphones, amps and dacs used to keep things fresh. /r/AVexchange and Head-Fi's classified section are reputable places to do this, although I have no experience with them.

If you're looking for something with good sound quality for the price, I like these a lot: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0093VVP0Q/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They are not noise cancelling but do block a lot of sound, so be careful walking on the street with them and be aware of your surroundings.

i think super glue should be fine. seems your not the only one. check bottom review

In the scenario where < $100 headphones are required there is only a single option: [the one true morty]( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0093VVP0Q?pc_redir=1410433087&robot_redir=1 .)

I would not go with the ones you suggested, as there isn't much information on them from reputable audio sites. For your budget, many people suggest the KZ ATE, a huge bang for buck performer. They are actually under your budget at £13. Here they are on Amazon.co.uk I have a pair and I can vouch for their stellar performance at a low price point. I also recommend stretching your budget a bit to buy the Zero Audio Carbo Tenores, my favorite IEM under $50. They actually seem to be a bit cheaper in Britain only being priced at £26. These will perform like IEMs priced around $120 and above. No matter which you choose, you will be happy though.

Based on a suggestion from here I bought the Zero Audio Carbo Tenore about a year ago and I'm super happy with them!

Before buying I was always using my ATH M50 headphones which was always a bit of a hassle based on their sheer size, the Carbo Tenores produce an insanely good sound and are so tiny!

Hi ,

So I currently have the apple earpods , but after 1 year and half of daily usage , they're in pretty bad shape and I'm not sure if I should buy them again or if there are better choices for the same price range , so here I am !

Budget - 5-60€

Requirements for Isolation - Some isolation would be cool I guess , even though I usually use them in quiet places.

Will you be using these Headphones in Public? Yes , at the gym and at work mostly.

Preferred Type of Headphone - I've always used earbuds , I don't mind IEMs if they're better than earbuds in my budget.

Preferred Music - I mostly listen to classical , pop and rock.

I also did some research and found those two :

SoundMagic E30

Zero Audio Tenore

Not sure if they're good or better than my apple earpods , but they're in my budget , feel free to suggest something else of course !

Thank you !

Both are on par with each other and sound relatively similar, I recommend these.

$44 with Prime on Amazon

Just do it, it's a great pair of earphones :)

I would recommend the zero carbo tenore

https://www.amazon.com/AUDIO-ear-stereo-headphone-Tenore-ZH-DX200-CT/dp/B0093VVP0Q

Or the SoundMagic E50/E80 series. You prob would want the E50 one.

The Japanese import ZERO AUDIO Carbo Tenores, while not as good as the over-hyped reviews suggest, are still the best value for the money on earbuds.

I find them very comfortable and I do sleep with them in my ears.

Here's the Verge review that started the stampede.

I've got these, I find them great for a cheap pair of buds. There are a few threads on here about them, I suggest you give them a read

[Here] (https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/2b4uze/userdeniall83_convinced_a_lot_of_you_to_buy_zero/) and here

http://www.amazon.com/AUDIO-ear-stereo-headphone-Tenore-ZH-DX200-CT/dp/B0093VVP0Q?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

I went with these, since they allegedly compete with earbuds that are more expensive. Made in japan I think.

the sound is pretty good for the price. Sadly my ears are too small for the smallest included ear piece, but that is just the fault of my ears being abnormally small.

Nope, I my phone "autocorrected" F3 to FE and I went back and made an edit.

The F3

The Tennmak Pro

The Zero Audio Carbo Tenore

If they end up sounding bad, try this pair out. There cheap to and sound great.https://www.amazon.com/AUDIO-ear-stereo-headphone-Tenore-ZH-DX200-CT/dp/B0093VVP0Q

I am new here, but I'm looking to get some iems, and heard the Carbo Tenores were pretty great. I found these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0093VVP0Q/ on amazon, but heard that they are usually like $50 and didn't want to end up with counterfeits.

The order is fulfilled by amazon, so I'm not sure if that makes the seller any more reputable, but if anyone has any experience with this seller, I would like to know what it is.

Thank you for the help!

I've heard some really good things about the zero audio carbo tenore. Quite bassy but good for the money

Carbo Tenore by zero audio Absolutely fantastic earphones i thought the wires were thin but i have had mine for for 6 months+ and they have been worn daily with a lot of abuse and they are still like new plus they sound great well worth the price

Interested in AKG K240 as an intro to good headphones without breaking the bank. The soundstage is appealing for listening and for gaming. I want something I can enjoy without extra DAC/amp spending to find out if this is going to become a hobby I spend more on. Is there a less expensive option to suit the same requirements, or is there a similar priced option that's better?

Curious about the Philips SHP9500.
I'm not too big on IEM's, but if these zero audio ones are that good for the price, I could be convinced.

/u/zeospantera you should really review the Zero Audio Carbo Tenore. $36 on Amazon, great fit and great tonal balance. Changstar thread.

It's also HTC Vive not Vibe. You can't throw your head around in VR with headphones like the HD800 but they can work in some situations. Problem is them sliding when looking at the floor rather than moving your head horizontally.

The 60fps works really well.

Are you doing a Schiit Sys review?

> 1More Triple Driver

For $65, I rather opt for the Zero Audio Carbo Tenores.
I think those sound better than the overhyped 1More Triple Drivers.
Don't get me wrong. The 1More Triple Drivers are great. It probably has a bit more detailing than the Tenores. But the Tenores man. The Tenores. They are tuned in just 'perfectly'. This thing is legendary.
http://www.head-fi.org/t/665111/zero-audio-zh-dx200-carbo-tenore-zh-dx210-carbo-basso-carbon-aluminium-iem-thread

They sound 'lax' while having all the detailing you need. I have listened to the Shure SE846 and have the Noble 4/CKR9Ltd/JVC FX-850/Tenores/Yamaha EPH-100/etc. etc.
And I had the opportunity in my life to listen to a crap ton of iem in my life.
And to this date, I do not think there is any contender for the Tenores in the tuning of the mids. Sure it's definitely nowhere as 'good' technical wise as the upper range products like the Noble 4/CKR 9ltd/JVC fx-850/Dunu 2000/Shure SE846/Yamaha EPH-100 but.... just cause it isn't as clear as those super $$$ does not imply it is bad.

In fact, I think in its price range, there is nothing that can compete with these iem for music lovers. Sure these are almost 5 years old but this is 1 heck of a legendary iem.
If you want your ears to truly open up to premium range sound, opt for the Tenores. Sure the 1More might be nicer (I did not test them but heard much praises) but from my listening career from free earphones to $1000 iems, the Tenores have like a special place in my heart (along with the EPH-100).
https://www.amazon.com/AUDIO-ear-stereo-headphone-Tenore-ZH-DX200-CT/dp/B0093VVP0Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482964790&sr=8-1&keywords=zero+audio+tenore

The only issue is the chord. But as long as you don't abuse your earphone, it should not be of much issue.
That said, don't believe most hypes of earphones/iem. Most 'top class' earphone/iem under 100 sound like the BEST under 100. No more no less. I heard some outrageous things in my life in headfi like the Tenores competing with 500 dollar products and 1More competing with 2500 dollar products.
Truth is, they don't.
That said, I must say, the 1More has a far better design and better boxing. The Tenores is just straight out only for sound. However, give it a try if you can. I think it can be the best $40 you ever spend.

Also little biased view here but.... run away from bluetooth earphones like a plague if you can. Those really have bad sounds. They sound like 10 dollar products in general. I'm sure you have a phenomenal bluetooth iem but but it seems the specializers of the iem markets don't really care to invest in bluetooth earphones. Bluetooth iems are mostly conquered by the 'fashion' brand of earphones. The sound quality including the Jaybirds... are atrocious once you start comparing to true audio iem like the Tenores. (And quite noticeably)

Price: ~$50

Usage: Play games like PUBG, Rainbow 6 Siege, CS:GO and need an in-ear headphone.

Reason why I don't use full headsets: I can't wear ordinary headphones because they hurt my head and make me feel uncomfortable (I tried a few). So I need to settle for in-ear earphones.

What I found so far: I have narrowed my search down to these two based on the following criteria

>Bass: Low

>Mid: Neutral/Emphasized

>Treble: Emphasized


>I used this site to compare:

>https://sites.google.com/view/headphoneadvice/iem-earbuds/category-100?authuser=0


The two earphones I made a shortlist of are:

_

Zero Audio Carbo Tenore

Zero Audio Amazon link

____

and



Mee Audio M6Pro

Mee Audio amazon link

_____

They are both listed as the sub $100 IEMs that have decent ratings on Amazon (a good estimate for durability) and feature the following (which seems to be best for gaming apparently):

>Bass: Neutral

>Midrange: Neutral

>Treble: Emphasized

>Isolation: High


I was hoping if someone could help me choose between the two or at least refer someone to me who knows about IEMs?

I am looking for something on a budget that will allow me to hear footsteps and small movements in game. Also something that is relatively durable for the price and won't break down on me within a week.

Zero Audio Carbo Tenore are the greatest IEM I've ever used.

https://www.amazon.com/AUDIO-ear-stereo-headphone-Tenore-ZH-DX200-CT/dp/B0093VVP0Q

They sound wonderful for all type of music, great highs and lows. Very well balanced in general. They sound like they could be $150-250, amazing quality for <$50

• Budget -Sub $60
  
  
• Source -Samsung Galaxy S7
  
  
• Requirements for Isolation - some isolation, not a requirement.
  
  
• Will you be using these Headphones in Public -Exclusively
  
  
• Preferred Type of Headphone -IEM
  
  
• Preferred Tonal Balance -V-shaped, something akin to ATH-M50X
  
  
• Past Headphones -ATH-M50X, Beats Solo2
  
  
• Preferred Music -EDM, Trap, Classical, Almost any type of Rock
  
  
• My Preferences -would really prefer a mic and durability(will be used exclusively outside the house)
  
  I think I narrowed it down to these two headphones: GranVela A8 Dual Drivers and the Carbo Tenore ZH-DX200-CT. Which one of these two would you recommend or do you have a suggestion that is superior to these two?

The Carbo Tenore are the more balanced version of the Carbo Basso. They are both extremely good for below $50 but as I don't know how sensitive your ears are, it might be your best bet to go with the Basso.

Hey guys, I am looking for an upgrade over my SoundMAGIC E10's, I got them for £30, and are looking to spend around the same amount of money.

The E10's broke and Amazon gave me a refund, just FYI.

I don't know much about audio, so i'll throw you some of the stuff i've found. I'm leaning towards the RockJaw's or Byron's at the moment. The use case would be general music listening, gaming sometimes and for use at the gym.

I love my zero audio tenores, great value

To Canada, on amazon.com, they did jump in price from 46.95 to 50$. Am I Missing something?

There's been some pretty big hype lately about the Zero Audio Tenore. I don't know if this is just initial reactions or if they're actually really good, but for ~$50 they are a reasonable gamble.

Zero Audio Carbo Basso

These are from a Japanese brand you probably haven't heard of before. They're great, especially if you love bass. I don't really feel like the bass is overwhelming but if you want something lighter there's also the Zero Audio Carbo Tenore. Head-fi seemed to like them. Read through that read to see other people's impressions. There's also a IEM list on head-fi as well.

Zero audio carbo tenore

review if you want

I need a pair of IEMs for use outside of the house.

Budget: ~120 CAD. That's 92 USD. Budget is somewhat flexible.

Source: iPod Touch 5th Generation, Nexus 5, occasionally my computer.

Requirements for Isolations: Lots.

Public Usage?: They will be used almost exclusively in public.

Type of Headphone: IEM

Tonal Balance: Neutral

Past Headphones: Sennheiser CX 2.00, Sennehiser HD360, Sennhsier HD449, Sennheiser HD558 (The headphones I use at home currently)

Preferred Music: I listen to basically everything, from classical to punk rock, with the exception of pop country.

Location: Canada

I've been looking at the Massdrop for the HiFiMAN Re-00 and from what I can tell that's my first choice as of right now. I'm slightly nervous about the build quality, although considering that they improved the cable and they come with a case I think they're probably find (although please correct me if i'm wrong).

I'm curious about the Sennheiser Momentum In Ear, but don't know much about them so if anyone could tell me their tonal balance and whether you think they're any good or not that would be great.

I'm also curious about the Zero Audio ZH-DX200-CT. There was a thread talking about how great they are , but similar to the momentum's know nothing about them. So if anyone could tell me their tonal balance as well as any information about them that would be great!

If there are any IEM's that I've missed and you would recommend I'd love to know, but if not I just would like to know which of the three above you would recommend the most.

Also just in case I go with the RE-00 which cheap temporary pair of IEMs should I get until they're delivered. The JVC HAFX40B High Quality In-Ear Headphones or the Panasonic ErgoFit In-Ear Earbud Headphones RP-HJE120-K ?

Edits: Formatting

Curious – the Mi Piston IIIs are usually pretty good. Did you have issues with them?

Zero Audio's ZH-DX200 are pretty good in terms of durability. Have pretty great sound isolation as well for their price and pretty comparable to Piston III in general.

Usually recommend the Piston II, the Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear (too expensive for you) or the Zero Audio for what you're looking for (more details on all this here and here)

Close. Or try these.

IEMS ONLY

Budget - $10-$50 (Lower the better, sales too) $51-$75 is really pushing it

Requirements for Isolation - Moderate or full isolation, Plan to use outdoors, indoors, home, public transpiration(NYC transit is loud)

Preferred Type of Headphone - Comfy IEMs, Mic, long lasting

It was one of the best I've ever used Handsdown. The sound was so rich with the perfect amount of bass Felt good(sliped a couple of times), great sound, Volume slider. | Bad wire, lacks mic and button(s)

What would you like to improve on from your set-up
Something that feels good in the ear (can listen to music for hours without my ears or head hurting is a must), has a mic/button(preferred) . Something similar or better than the ones I used before. Crisp rich sound with moderate or medium high bass

I was thinking

Klipsch X4i,MEE Audio M6 PRO,Zero Audio,Etymotic Research MC5





Thank you.

Zero Audio Tenore. Sounds amazing, so light and pretty cheap. https://www.amazon.com/AUDIO-ear-stereo-headphone-Tenore-ZH-DX200-CT/dp/B0093VVP0Q

I'll do the work for you, then.

JVC HAFX101B - $27 CAD ($21 USD) new

RHA MA350 - $35 CAD ($27 USD) new

Zero Audio Tenore - $42 CAD ($33 USD) new

If you are looking for pure sound quality, these are the best for $50 no doubt.

Mee Audio M6 Pro is what I use. It comes with a stupid amount of accessories and punches way above its price class. It sounds better than my $200 Audio Technica ATH-M50x over-ear headphones.

The Zero Audio Carbon Tenore get a lot of hype at /r/headphones if you decide you don't like wearing the cable over your ear, but the carbon fiber look can be a bit divisive.

These come down under $40 frequently.
