KZ ZST X in-Ear Monitors, Upgraded Dynamic Hybrid Dual Driver ZSTX Earphones, HiFi Stereo IEM Wired Earbuds/Headphones with Detachable Cable for Musician Audiophile (Without Mic, Cyan)

I haven’t had iems since probably 5-7 years ago when I had a set of shure se215s and figured I would give some of the ultra budget iems a try just to do it and they blew my expectations out of the water. Not only do they sound better than the shures, but I have never heard such good sound from a sub $200 set of headphones let alone a ~$20 set. I could even argue that these sound on par with my AirPods Pro 2s or even a little better in some ways. The balanced armature gives some impressive treble range performance and they have decent balanced mid bass. Sub bass isn’t the best and that is beat by the AirPods but overall sound quality is still incredible for the price. They fit very well and noise isolation seems on par with my the shures as far as I can remember. Not sure if it’s the headphones themselves or the cheap lighting to headphone adapter that I’m using but they also seem very sensitive as volume 1 on my iPhone 14 Pro is nearly too loud for a quiet listening environment. I’ll have to try these on some other devices but it doesn’t seem like you need much power to get them loud. Overall build quality of the headphones themselves feels pretty good but the cord feels like it’s on the cheaper side. Not sure how they’ll hold up over time but they work great for now and at the price point I feel like you’re definitely getting what you pay for if not the illusion of more.

As a gigging drummer I’ve performed with these now for over a year and I can say that they’re fantastic for the money. Deep bass and clear highs and mids. These are colored more towards the low end which as a drummer suits me fine as I get a load of bass guitar and kick drum in my mix. Put some SpinFit tips on these and you’re golden.

I don’t really write reviews often but I know you’re looking at the reviews because, like me, you want to make sure you’re not buying something you’re gonna have to go return. These are amazing. I play on a worship team at church. I’m also very picky after decades in music/audio industry. They are so comfortable and I despise any headphones that have to go in ear (air pods, etc) they always leave my ear sore. These did not after being in for about 4 hours total today with rehearsal and service. Sound quality is amazing and they feel very durable. Lightweight but just enough weight to not feel like there gonna break. Design is okay nothing crazy. Connection is strong. Fit is truly the best aspect though. Get these, I’ve had $1k pairs of other brands that were horrible in comparison.

Bought these as an extra pair of headphones that I can use for tracking vocals and they exceed expectations. Very little audible bleed in recordings at high volumes, just what I was looking for. I wasn’t quite expecting the quality I received out of such a cheap product. Cord feels durable and rather difficult to tangle. They are a little flatter than I expected, and as others mentioned, they have a much better bass response than my studio monitor closed back over ears. I might start using these to monitor and mix bass. Noise cancellation rivals the Airpods Pro 2nd generation. I haven’t used them outside of tracking and brief playback of audio. They get quite loud using an audio interface, much more than you’d ever need for traditional movie, TV, video or audio playback. For reference, I use these as an output in my Scarlet 2i2 (with a 1/4 adapter sold separately, of course.) I can’t speak on volume outside of an external interface. But I can speak on its value for my use case. A great quality product from a known reputable audiophile brand.

I purchased these to go with my legion Go, i do have wireless earbuds but windows does not play well with them for some reason so I purchased my go to wired buds while they were on sale.I have previously purchased the zsn pros which are a step above these, but these are very similar. Main difference is the tune is a but different, the zsn pros are a bit flatter and better for audiophile/daw work, these are a bit better for gaming and just general listening. But still sound amazing.They use a standard 3.5mm jack and the cable is replaceable which is great, I have always like thay feature with this brand. The built in mic is fine, better than some but not the best by any means.Durability is good, just don't drop them in water.Fit is great they come with different sized squishies and do to their design they just fit great in the ear and are very stable and don't fall out.Overall value is great. They are just a bit cheaper than the zsn pros but sound quality is similar with just a different audio profile.

I originally bought these earphones to use as in ear monitors and I completely love them. I even ordered two more pairs for my friends that didn’t have any. I would definitely recommend. The sound quality is great and you could adjust the fit as well. The cord length is perfect, not too long, but not too short. I got the non-mic’s ones.

These hurt my ears within a minute or two of putting them in my ear...if I can and if it doesn't pop out of my ear. They are quite heavy and quite large for earbuds in my opinion. I will have to return them as I am unable to use these. Sound quality and sound cancellation seem of good quality- disappointed they don't fit my ears.
