KZ ZSN PRO X

What do I like about these earphones? They make everything sound like I am at my favourite music venues. Remember that experience when you are up front, center of the stage or up close and personal with the speakers, it reminds me of that possibly because of the isolation of external noise and loudness. Also the cable is very comfortable and did not require any adjustment similar to the KZ EDX Pro which is very important as poor cable quality can be a detractor, not something you want to be thinking of while enjoying your music so 10/10 for comfort. There is the usual set of different sized tips although no foam this time around. I believe these thicker cables will become more common place on future models, the cable on my quad driver iems could of been better but that also could be down to the different pin types being used.Unlike other iems that are more expensive, more refined these sound spot on without too much distortion to make them unbearable, the mids are clear enough and overall gives a warm sound with enough hard hitting bass and rumble that do not disappoint, just when I think they are going to distort they do not! I have them turned up pretty loud and do not hear feedback even when volume is turned way down. I believe anyone experiencing this should check their playback devices. if you are listening from a computer the onboard sound might be the culprit, a dedicated soundcard could improve the listening experience for you. Noise isolation was pretty good with these headphones compared to others I have tried. The wife may not like me for it though!I have been comparing with KZ ATE, ZS5, ZS6, EDX Pro.Mostly I listen with an old Sony/Ericson W20i for playback of MP3/FLAC audio files.Sometimes Samsung S22 with a Stouchi hi-res DAC.Quad driver earphones such as ZS5/6 lacked the same bass response but have more refinement, also wearing these through the most basic KZ bluetooth adapter produced more volume that improved the experience. I did not have to do this with the KZ ZSN Pro X and could push the loudness really quite far without any unbearable distortion or seperation which I really enjoyed this unique sound they produced.Overall, very pleased with these and highly recommend, they are great value for money. However, you should really buy a few different iem's to compare, if you like the way they sound then maybe you will like these headphones just as much or more than premium priced earphones.Update 17/09/24: Looking for KZ Bluetooth adapters to match to the KZ ZSN Pro X earphones. They seem somewhat pricey even from sources in China. I did come across a BT 5.0 adapter cable for them on Amazon. The price was too good to be true but they had their good and bad points, mostly some subtle background noise which you do not hear when you start listening to your music. The good was that they have a low-latency codec for lag-free music and lossless sound quality.

A few weeks ago, my daily drivers, the Sony MDR-XB55AP's, broke on me after a good two years of service. I decided I wanted something comparable in price to them, but hopefully a little nicer. Therefore, I bought these for myself as a Christmas present, based on the positive reviews that I have gotten from YouTuber DankPods. And I have to say I am mighty impressed.I had initial concerns going in regarding the quality of materials and the quality of sound, having purchased similar headphones in price, and getting less than stellar results. I am thrilled to say that these are the real deal: The drivers themselves are made of metal and plastic, and are well built. The cable feels sturdy enough, and is of a similarly good quality.They fit my ears well out of the box, and with the cable going over my ear, there is less of a risk for you accidentally yanking out your headphones. That said, the cable is replaceable. The way you put them on are something that take some getting used to, and those of you with sensitive ears may find the cable intrusive, but I have gotten used to them.Most importantly, these headphones sound great. I have a varied taste in music, and have to say that these IEM's do a good job with all that I listen to: Rock, Synthpop, Classical, Experimental, Avant Garde. When you buy a pair of IEM's, the sound tends to be direct into your ears: you are basically wearing earplugs. In most IEM's, that means that the sound is quite closed off and flat. These ones actually have some sound staging (The feeling that you are listening to a music in a room or at a music venue), and they sound brilliant.Some minor points of note:- The User Guide is translated from Chinese into English. The manufacturer is Chinese, but it does make the instructions a little hard to read.- There are user replaceable ear tips, in three different sizes.- The set I got was with a microphone. As stated, the cable is replaceable, and you can purchase without a mic, should you wish.Overall, I am happy with these IEM's, and would recommend you buy them if you are a casual audiophile, or someone who just wants a pair of unique earphones that sound good.

A great and handy pair of earbuds to have. High end frequencies (think cymbals, hi hats and people singing a "sss" or "ts" sound) can be harsh for some, almost piercing as some describe it. Bass frequencies are boosted too which is nice, but these combined can make the mids feel a little bit quiet at times. I'd reccomend turning these down a bit in an EQ or use an app like wavelet (and then customise to your liking). Comfort feels good and it was a nice choice having the cord wrap around the ear for more comfort and support. A small nitpick i do have is that the mic is a little bit too low for my liking, and the right earbud sometimes disconnects/sounds quieter than the left one, which is fixed by unplugging and replugging the cable for it. This doesn't happen often, however. A great value purchase.

These headphones have blown me away. They are amazing. The sound quality of sound is amazing, the fit is perfect, and the volume is brilliant.I tried these after seeing similar being used on Drumeo, I have used them with my electric kit, and I honestly can not rate them high enough. Given that you can buy better versions of these from this rage is insane. I would love to know what the higher versions sound like as are outstanding. They block sound out, so you don't hear the tapping on the electric kit, and the mix between music and drums (when using a backing track / MP3 track) is perfect. I would probably just ask for a longer cable, as when plugging in to a head unit then a bit more length would be perfect. I would say these are as good if not better than my £300 sony wireless noise cancelling headphones. BUY THEM!
