People with Nova should try the double flange tips its the total opposite of foam tips, foam tips smoothens the peaks making it more "timbrally correct" though a bit "dull", double flange tips moves the resonance peak further in the air region making it more "sparkly/energetic" compared to foam and silicone tips it also reduces the lower treble which most people has issues with (as it makes some vocals even shoutier). Truthear literally recommends using it in their advertisement graphs and people seems to ignore it. What I like with the Nova is I get an option of "correctness (foam tips)" or "sparkle/coloration (white double flange tips)" by just changing the stock tips, its like switching to another IEM.

you're making so many videos, and I love it!

I have the Nova’s and I love them! I prefer the tuning of these IEMs as I don’t like a ton of mid bass because it tends to bleed into the midrange giving it a bloated, thick presence. The Nova just sounds smooth yet detailed and clean, as stated. I also have the Thieaudio Legacy 4 which also measured very, very close to the Nova. The L4 has been described as lean-sounding in the midrange - which it is - but the Nova gives you much more midrange than that. I think the issue of it being too clean is perhaps a product of the recording more than the tuning. If you have some bright recordings, you’ll definitely hear it - but overall, it really smooths out the treble without losing detail. The Nova are my definition of fun. Improvements? Well, OK, maybe the upper bass/lower midrange CAN be extended a hair but it just needs to be careful not to bleed into the meat of the midrange. That’s a complete deal-breaker for me. Otherwise, these IEMs are a complete recommendation!

Hi, as usual i enjoy your video!, Just one que, will these be a worth upgrade from Truthear Zero : Project Red? I love the Red, even more than my other more expensive Fiio FD3 Pros, so I was wondering about this one as I decided to skip hexa.

hi timmy, sorry off topic, which eartips come with the galileo, I like the white one, I want to buy a spare pair if I missed them. thank you

Hey Timmy, have you tried the celest wyvern? I bought them recently to compare with the wan’er, and found that it has a much better fit, similar natural tone but better clarity in general!

How well do these sound for metal? Love my variations for death/prog so I’m guessing these will follow suit?

Thanks for the perfect reveiw as I am watching a lot of reviews and this vid answered most of the questions I have. This IEM is probably the perfect to my tastes as I prefer clean, lean, as well as well as subbass over midbass and for the price, I couldn't ask more. Again, thanks for the awesome review!

Please review the kinera celeste phoenixcall ! love your work !

Love the honesty

Nothing a little bit of EQ wouldn’t help shine, if you miss a little bit of bite in the low mids!

I guess the zero blue counts as fun.

Thanks for the fair and technical review.

Finallyyyy i cant afford the Blessing 3 yet still waiting for the Dusk version if ever there is one for now ill Get the Nova ✨👍

Will you do quintet full review?

These paired with a Qudilex 5K is the closest sounding bass to an L-Acoustics subwoofer I’ve ever heard from headphones (any/all types). Boosting the lowest sub-bass even more (yes, I’m one of those people), on top of the already sub-bass skewed Nova, gives that smooth bass drum kick you hear at concerts. All sub-bass slam, with very well controlled, just right, mid-bass (because boosting sub-bass with the Qudilex, inevitably boosts some mid bass). These are one of the few headphones I listen to regularly with no eq, even though these are the first I’ve ever eq’d. I just like a lot of sub-bass, but also need some technical performance on the rest of the range. (I think L-Acoustics boosts sub-bass by 15dB. +9dB sub-bass on the Nova sounds decent, any more and it is droning loud bass that mutes the energy of the mix.) I even upgraded to a balanced cable. I’m glad I did, I’m surprised my set still works after blasting sub-bass at full power on balanced (with greatly reduced full range to protect hearing). The most clean violent eardrum vibrators I’ve had, plus an actually decent overall sound quality.

Only comparison I care about is vs Chopin 😅

Would love to see the graph with the foam tips on, but great video as always

Hey Timmy, would you go with a blue fragrance with these? BDC? YSL Blue Electrique?

did you try to use a 10omh adapter with the nova? wouldn't that give you abit of extra bass? also why is the waifu pink and the iem blue?

I want a headset that I can use while playing games and watching videos during my live broadcasts. I'm stuck between Zero and Nova, which one would you recommend? I don't want to waste money, hearing clearly where the players are in the games is enough for me.

That’s why I like the Kara, I rarely come across an IEM without thin-out vocals

A safe tuning for the peoples entering the hobby that will ensure wow factor tuning wise however the price get very close to some champions like Chopin, P5 and the likes.

It will be more interesting to see the opinion on this in 6 months since the hype was so hypey with this set.

will u review ea1000 timmy?

So is this the perfect iem for EQ? I think being too clean is not a downside.

Should I get nova or simgot em6l?

How about the mic quality for phone call using whatsapp using this Truthear Nova ?

Very nice review

I bought the Hexa almost a year ago on sale for $55 and been smiling ever since. Nothing has tickled my balls to buy anything else since. Perhaps the timeless 2 will. I thought about meteor or ie600 but ultimately passed.

i have the crinacle Red - is this a good upgrade? particularly for immersive gameplay with wide atmosphere

Thoughts on the new Zero 2?

When timmy said the variation kinda shouty for some people, i thought that the variation were so laid back 🥲

Over 2 years and Timmy still calls it Truthears 😭

Great review Timmy! I personally really love the Nova. 💙

is truthear nova upgrade for my truthear x crinacle zero? using it for FPS games like PUBG and CSGO.

Is it worth upgrading to nova from hexa for female vocal listening?

Try noble spartacus my man😢

I was waiting for a comparison with your Chopin! I gotta say, I had my eyes set on the Nova but then your Chopin came out, and I did order it but the seller (on AliExpress) didn't send it, so now I'll have to wait a few more months.

Really waiting for a review on kinera celest phoenix call, it has such an interesting driver configuration for the price

Make a review of celest phoenixcall please

Perfectly described.

Great review thanks! Although, I doubt they will (nor should) release a "fun" IEM... Their name is Truthear after all! 😋

I wish you could have a video about the definition of each terminology that you use. What does warm sound? What does magic sound? What does sparkly sound? There’s so much audiophile jargon for me to comprehend

I've never heard anyone say and IEM was too clean before.

I'm fed up with smooth treble. Is there any iem with lively treble at all on the chi-fi market?

I have them. They desperately need bass. Also they are very amp dependent.

Timmy Sorry got distracted by the must keep female voices angelic… Great if that is the nature of a given female’s voice. Perfect. Norah Jones sounds anemic without her earthy harmonics present. Dianne Reeves is a phenomenal female vocalist with a tremendous vocal range. If her deeper registers aren’t supported well, that’s not good at all. Oleta Adams an outstanding female vocalist has a beautiful tone from mild earthy on up aways. Listening to her I want to hear the depth of her voice throughout. Some women have some wonderful chest voice that is alluring and appealing and it would be missed if tuned out unnecessarily. Do these vocalists strike you as sounding “husky”?

I would never describe female vocals as "angelic" bec I reserve this for the young male voice (ie choirboy, etc). Female vocals are sweet yet sharp to me. While, male vocals have to be impactful and bodied for me to be happy. I don't mind if one sounds less natural or emphasized than the other but I prioritize male vocals for monitoring use while casual listening can be either. Question: My favorite budget set is the Castor Silver from KZ which is tuned 90-95% like the Nova. Can it really sound the same? I don't own the Nova so I wanna know.

Gizaudio is correct that the Nova is no Variations killer. If you like that type of signature, the Variations does it far better.

Fun = Yanyin Canon II 🎉

lesss go

"Truthear" making dead neutral iems seems appropriate to me :)))

Felt the same way about the Novas, nothing really stood out to me. And after comparing them with the IE200 I found myself much preferring the Sennheisers.

That sound was not for me. But comfort was very nice.

IE200 is too small for my ears to stay in place so there can be fit issues.

My Nova will arrive on December 1, 2023

Got a pair on sale for 120 dollars AND DEF. WORTH IT FOR 120 DOLLARS HAHA.

I'm waiting for IEM specialize in J-pop,K-pop,AnimeOST tier

Good review, man. But I am NOT a weeb… 😏

I wish theyd go back to the industrial design they gave the Hexa. Definitely one of the cooler looling IEMs

zero 2 review when?(not the anime btw)

Why buy a headphone that is not fun? Fun is the most important factor after comfort for me. You are correct, ie-200 is fun and comfortable.

First again????
