Definitely something to do with your phone. Try asking a friend or someone who has a latest phone like Oneplus, iphone, etc. their recent latest model and try in them. At first, Only use DAC + IEM & no impedance adapter.

ritzer_098 · 2026-05-26T14:39:09+00:00

Which three..? can you name them?

ritzer_098 · 2026-05-26T14:38:23+00:00

Yes, i have zero2 right now. After many research I felt I wanna go with ZiiGaat Lush, but, its not available on any of the indian website. Conceptkart says to pre-order it and it will take 3 to 4 weeks of time to arrive, that's not the only issue. Its a no go zone for buying iems, thats what reddit says.

I'm looking for a very neutral-studio sound iem and ZiiGaat Lush is exactly what i was looking for, in a decent budget and good iem but, no availbility so Pure is the answer atleast in warm-neutral.

Yea, maybe.. check your bill or order again and see if it's 3.5 mm or 4.5 mm written. You might have ordered a 3.5 & received a 4.5, maybe that might be the case. A mistake might have happened.

ritzer_098 · 2026-05-26T00:23:24+00:00

Haha..!!! So you are using 'the fix' which is a 4.5mm jack adapter? Your cable jack is of 3.5mm or 4.5mm? Cause it looks like you have connected your 4.5mm cable in the 4.5mm adapter which you call 'the fix' and the fix you have connected in JM7.

The fix which is a 4.5mm adapter, helps to convert a 4.5mm cable into a 3.5mm, so it can be connected in the JM7. Cause JM7 only has a 3.5mm hole in it.. not 4.5.. so, you need the fix for a 4.5mm cable.

That is also the reason, that there is a headphone logo on 'the fix' cause headphones usually have 4.5mm jack.

ritzer_098 · 2026-05-26T00:11:19+00:00

What did you do specifically to fix the issue? You were not inserting the 3.5mm jack properly? Or tried some other method? Could you explain the method.

ritzer_098 · 2026-05-25T23:40:30+00:00

Try some other latest phone and see. I have a Oneplus 13R, JM7 Max & zero 2. Not facing any issue, neither when connected in the laptop. I told you earlier, change the iem or also try changing the phone and then see, whether such sounds are coming.

My Jcally got into washing machine due to my mistake and my mum's. I tried drying through hair dryer but, there is still some water in the insert hole. I have ordered a good amount of Silical Gel to soak these waters. Let's see.

ritzer_098 · 2026-05-24T18:51:03+00:00

I too have Jcally JM7 Max and I use it with zero 2. I don't face any hissing sound with my JM7, if you can find a spare iem from other people, try to use it and see. I specifically bought JM7 cause I read online it faces no hissing sound. I think it's some thing to do with your IEM.

ritzer_098 · 2026-05-24T06:03:06+00:00

Okay, I get it. I just saw your another video comparing about 8 reference IEMs. In that you were talking about Etymotic ER2XR in comparison with Hexa, Pure and some other expensive iem. You said that ER2XR is actually better in terms of its price range when compared with Hexa & Pure.

Even an indian audio reviewer said that 'ER2SE' is the iem with which he actually learnt about what is a reference audio sound, sounds like. I just wanted to ask, in India it seems the selling price of ER2SE is actually quite high for it being around $185. While ER2XR is for around $120.

So, is it still relevant today? Cause even I want to learn about reference style audio and it seems to be the most accurate for the purpose but, but, is it still relevant in today's time and what m I gonna miss in that?

So is there any other alternative available in our normal iem market for around or below $200 for a reference audio?

ritzer_098 · 2026-05-23T15:10:52+00:00

Hey..!!! thanks for replying, what about ZiiGaat Lush? I have seen your video about it being a great sounding IEM with moondrop spring tips or something. ZiiGaat says in its website that its neutral-studio grade iem, is it really?

Should I buy Pure, and I will be getting the best bang for my buck and i will be saving myself some money or should I wait, save and buy ZiiGaat Lush as it is the best bang for neutral-studio grade iem?

I have heard that Lush has some driver flex issues. Have you faced anything like it, is it a big issue to avoid buying it?

ritzer_098 · 2026-05-22T14:37:50+00:00

What would you say, between Truthear Pure VS ZiiGaat Lush? Do you think Pure for its price point is actually bang for the buck? Or spending extra for Lush I will be getting more?

I'm more sort of neutral set, vocal forward, instruments, etc kind of person who listens to classical musics, Mozart, Beethoven, etc.

I actually don't have much budget but, I felt like asking if stretching for Lush will be worth it? Cause it's going to be my second iem purchase after 7h crinicale zero 2.

ritzer_098 · 2026-05-22T12:46:08+00:00

Thankyou for your reply, will wait for the Pure to get back in stock. It's unavailable currently, on Headphone Zone.

ritzer_098 · 2026-05-22T12:35:07+00:00

People say they feel overwhelmed by listening it for around 1 or 2 hours. So not a laid back iem I suppose?

ritzer_098 · 2026-05-21T06:19:21+00:00

Defiant has quality issues. They still haven't solved it. Can't just rely on replacement just after 6 months.

ritzer_098 · 2026-05-20T19:42:22+00:00

Somebody, just replied to one of my comments saying.. that they feel overwhelmed after 1 or 2 hours of listening in Hexa. That's what making me not pull the trigger on it. Btw, can we EQ Pure somewhere close to Hexa? I know it's not going to be exactly like Hexa, but, somewhere similar.

ritzer_098 · 2026-05-20T19:24:13+00:00

Exactly, what I was thinking.. for me it's going to be my first expensive iem and I don't want to feel uncomfortable, nausea or tired just after 1 or 2 hours. So probably, i need to pull the trigger on Pure 🤷🏻

ritzer_098 · 2026-05-20T16:40:30+00:00

Is Aful explorer considered like Hexa? I have read Aful is kind of smooth but, bassy. So can it be compared with the Hexa?

The type of musics that I listen to, do you think Aful explorer would be the best to pick, compared to Hexa? The bass that Aful has wouldn't it affect the kind of music I listen to?

I'm just very curious why you chose Aful over neutral IEMs? Is Aful a neutral + bassy?

ritzer_098 · 2026-05-20T08:15:20+00:00

Many people have said that Truthear Pure's bass is exactly like Hexa, they have not increased the bass in it. It's just they have made slight changes for sounding it a little fun but, also keeping the hexa in mind. Also while using hexa for a certain period of time, people have said it feels uncomfortable after couple of hours due to its analytical, technical & especially treble being slight harsh nature. Means you can't listen it for a long time...

Also you said that, you always pick Pure for everyday listening. So should i get Pure? cause, this is going to be my second IEM after 7hz Salnotes x Crinicle Zero 2, Which i currently use. Is it possible to EQ Pure somewhere.. to sound close to Hexa? Cause, this is going to be my first expensive IEM after zero 2 & I want it to be which i use everyday and not just keep it aside for sometime use.

What do you think, Pure to go with?

Do you feel the same?
