Came here from dankpods lol
Same here
Same bro
Same
Same
Lol same
I picked these up 2 days ago bc of mids and rolled off bass. Itâs just my taste and I donât mind the brightness. This helped me make the choice
Glad it helped!
bro are these balanced? or do I need to get a balanced cable for them after?
You need a balanced cable
@@hellraiserRoxx whats a balanced cable?
@@ShadowStudioProductions lmao same question . I just want a good pair of wired earphones near this price for my phone
Just got some for my 11year old. She loves the look of them. I liked the sound. Definitely better then the AKG branded ones that came with my phone.
Those are simple earphones. These are IEMs.
akg is dead
AKG really fell off hard
Akg is still fixed on pre-chifi pricing model. But their full size headphones are still very popular
The AKG that came with Note 9 are excellent
The previous ZSNs are for hifi listening. Pro X is for stage monitoring and recording studio monitoring where flat accurate response is preferred. Exciting colored sound is usually not ideal for recording and monitoring use since you cannot mix objectively.
@@josevictor1702 yes I do believe that classical or any type of music that would require more separation or clean and clear sounds would sound amazing on the Pro X's. I daily the Pro X's on 80s-90s Jpop. The stereo from the 80's is quite fun on the Pro X.
@@johnnguyen1493 which one is better the NiceHck Db1 or Zsn Pro X?
@@guesswhothis sorry but i have not personally tried it, so i cannot compare but try crinacle, he's a youtuber with an iem database of sound profiles and ratings. Sound is subjective so take it with a grain of salt.
I can attest to this. I concur. Have both. If you have the Pro X, imagine inside a Recording STUDIO, that's what you hear from this badboy. Been wearing the Pro X most of the time, my personal preference. :)
I am wondering if there is any obvious difference when comparing with my current CRN Zex Pro. Flat accurate response is what I need for monitoring/recording, so therefore I will give Zsn Pro X a try, thanks
I just got these and Iâm absolutely in love with them they feel and sound like $100 iems but are only $30
What an honest review. not like the other they always say the pros but not honest about the cons.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
I bought these because DankPods spoke very highly of KZ and I need new earphones because JBL decided to die after 2 seconds which sucks cause they were my go to
Same im thinking of getting these soon, my JBL endurance runs were pretty good but they stopped making sound, to be fair i have had them for like 10 months and i didn't really take care of them lol
How is bass. Is it good for bassheads
You might be disappointed with them if you enjoyed the JBL, those are practically Subs on your ears.
I was feeling really bad for buying the zst x over the zsn pro x and this vid made me feel better about my purchase haha
Zst X is still great. The most important thing is that you enjoy what you have!
I find these pro x works really well for me being a guitar player
3:55 love that "get a grip" comment from you hahaha i swear some people just immediately forget the price and expect it to be up there with some of the best
I appreciate you getting that bro!
I came to these through borrowing a set at my home church and a jazz gig and I immediately loved them for their pricetag and solid tone. So i ordered a pearly blue set.
Please divide your video in sections mention the timestamps.
The physical comparisons, The sound , the Unboxing etc. that'd be much better as a viewer.
which do you think sounds better the ZST x or the ZSN pro?
I've got Bass+ Sony headphones and although they sound great to my virgin ears I think they're to woofy for my music. I mainly listen to metal and rap and sometimes it can just sound a little overdone. So I think these will be more balanced for me
Exactly what I wanted
Subbed đ
Iâve finally found someone else who says whatâs crackinâ!
Ordered this for $14 on lazada.
I'm excited. đ
Nice!
Can you give me link plz.
@@gamingwithgab2264
I bought from malaysian store. I dont think it works for non malaysian

It caused initially little discomforting pain in ears , not suitable for long Sessions, could feel it even after I woke up in the morning,overall it's a detailed music for the sake of comfort
Edit: with older earphones normal tips, only 5 - 10 % there.with memory foam it can be Reduced to zero I believe,but it's costly
Pain and discomfort what are you talking about I have very sensitive ear canal and this is ultra comfortable with the provide starline small tips .
@@debsattam1 I want buy it for listening to binaural beats frequencys like longer time 6 hr. Or 8hr
And I have sensitive ear to should I go for it.
@@haki9922 yes you can it's really good for the money you pay comfort at its peak with way above average sound seperation and quality you can only feel fatigue if you listen to very treble oriented music or else I listen to music sometimes 16 + hours no fatigue you won't even remember you are wearing iems .
@@debsattam1 umm. Only one last request test lofi beats, green day, high notes piano, 8bit remix thank you
I'm really torn between the pro and pro x. I'm into bass, but still wanted clarity so...
Go for the KZ DQ6.
@@PrimeAudioReviews thanks!
Unbeatable in ears for the 20$/⏠street price.
But: The tuning could be better. The frequency response has a definite V shape so lots of bass lots of treble but the mids fall a bit short. I played with different equalizer curves and yes, these sound better with cranked up mids.
Which ones do you think should I get? I want more neutrality but not for more than 30-40âŹ. Been thinking about ordering the Moondrop SSP.
I suggest you get CCA NRA or KZ DQ6. If you want something even more neutral, Moondrop SSR or Quarks.
Where are y'all getting this for 20$ it's 60$ now lmao
Where the heck are you shopping? It's on aliexpress for $15
2024 i cant find them below 40 euros in my country đstill ordered them
Nice review! I just have one question. Would you recommend this for tracking and for music (i mostly listen to indie rock) ? I'm also thinking of getting this so I could listen to music while lying on my bed without using my over-ear monitors but still getting an accurate sound representation.
Yes, the profile is fairly flat in the ears so they should be fine for lying in bed.
Very nice review. Thanks. I just booked the old one.
I just bought the ZSN PRO X golden 2 days ago. Its my first IEM.
Welcome to Chifi. Sorry about your wallet! đ”
How the sound quality? Is it ok?or too much treble?
@@josevictor1702 how about kz edx pro? Did u try it too?
Im still using KZ ZSN for 3 years.
Still OK. Im still thinking of uprading
Nice review as always....
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for making this review, this helped me confirm what I wanted. Definitely subbed!
Thanks for the sub!
Hey, the link in the description are the original ones? How do you know they're the original and not a knockoff?
Because that's the store where I got mine. đ§
Nice review , i wonder how they stack up compared to the zsx's. Would you say that the zsx's are worth dropping an extra 15$ for ?
Yes or the zs10 pro (both practically the same sound but different shape shells).
@@PrimeAudioReviews aitt gotcha , the issue is that my earphones recently broke and i have been looking the budget options but can't decide between the t2 plus the zsx's and the Bl03. I listen to a lotta jazz / blues / hiphop and i'm deadass scowering the web for reviews and comparisons lol.
Hmm bl03 would be my pick but as you may know the fit can be tricky. T2 plus is good too and Moondrop SSP if you have a powerful enough source.
@@PrimeAudioReviews i'll probably just go w/ the bl03's and buy some spinfits for them. Thanks for the help !
Straight forward review! Few questions! Planning to get this as a backup earphone for my iphone if I ever like to play the real time drum apps since bluetooth iems cause so much delay on iPhones. Is the silver plating makes the sound much better? I have a spare brown cable with mic lying around and planning to buy this since I had a left piece of a zsn pro. Is it worth it to get the silver one with mic or just use the default zsn pros? Thanks!
The brown cable will be just fine and you're unlikely to hear any changes by using the spc one.
"what's cracking audio fans"
Me: The shitty headphones dankpods always explodes 5 seconds after getting it
hey man! I was planning on getting these over the DQ6 due to the problems that KZ was having with them (manufacturing issues about glue inside them?) but watching your reviews of both ZSN & DQ6 really convinced me that the DQ6 fits me better. But due to the problems with it I don't know if I should get them either. What do you think I should do?
I think you should aim for the ZS10 Pro X or PR1 Pro instead. đ
@@PrimeAudioReviews oh cool! I'm a warm bass kind of person so I'll look out for those when they're available in my country. was thinking of getting the ZST X, but might get fatigued by them. Thanks again! đ
hello! im neww to this whole kz earphones model and just learned about IEM things (came after watching dankpods mate), but are those earphones good for music? i listen to music a lot, but is it the same or not? idk if you will see this but i hope i get a reply! thanks in advance!
same bruh the raycon vid
Yes, they are great for music. A lot of audiophiles started their journey with kz.
@@PrimeAudioReviews omg thank you! watched some helpful vids after that and quickly made my order. srsly cant wait to unlock a new world of sound.
I love listening to a lot of instrumental music, and I own a iPod what earbuds do you recommend ?
I really need a rough budget to answer that.
@@PrimeAudioReviews well around 40 or less is a good budget thank you.
Dank
I just got mine few days ago. Question is do I need a software to maximize my iem? I often use it in my PC. Thank you
For music you should use Hi-res files and maybe consider a dongle or small desktop DAC
I forgot to mention you should use something like Foobar2000 or MusicBee for music software.
Have you used zsn pro before this one?
Yes there's a written review on my website
@@PrimeAudioReviews ok
it (zsn pro x) makes a clicking sound when i use this with my galaxy m32.. pls someone help me
I got the KZ ZSN Pro X but am disappointed because the earpiece is simply too large. It doesn't fit in my ear and falls out, otherwise forcing it in is too uncomfortable. I think they are likely built for men.
You can buy ear plugs
Just got the kz zsn pro x for my ps5 and theyâre wayyyy better than my headset.
which are better for gaming and just general use?
kz zsn pro x or the kz-zs10 pro?
You should get the CCA CRA instead.
@@PrimeAudioReviews cra better than zsn pro x?
@@toheedsaeed1947 Depends what you're looking for but I'm gonna say: yes.
For gaming which one is best? Zsn pro or zsn pro x? Please answee.
Zsn pro sounds cleaner and has slightly better imaging so go for that one.
which better, zsn pro x or dq 6?
i'd like to hear random music or genre but i like a detail. and my current iem is zsn pro, which one if i want to upgrade my iem
I have kz zst x upgrade from ES4, I'm blown away by quality sounds from zst xâ€ïž detail then ES4. Should I buy zsn Pro x or zs10 Pro x instead for quality sound ???
Zs10 pro x!
Hello kzn pro or kbear s2âŠheaving hard time deciding with sounds better âŠ.great review by the way
KS2 sounds better to me. The KS1 is another winner too - review coming soon!
Ok, so I ordered my KZz Zsn pros because I usually like a bit more bass. Hope I made the right descision
I think you will like it.đ”
Great videoïŒI am looking for a nice earphone.
sir , which one should i take ? i usually play pc games and listen some songs to chill . which one you would suggest for me . zsn pro or zsn pro x ?
I recommend you get the ZSN Pro X.
@@PrimeAudioReviews im in the same spot... what about zsn pro x or zs10 pro?
@@rogue5843 zs10 Pro
should i pick the KZ ZSN Pro X, the KBEAR KS2 or the KZ DQ6 i wolud youse it for gaming and for listening to music or os there a better pair as of now for about the same price range
primary use is gaming though
Can you give any commend about moondrop chu vs kz zsn pro (the difference & which is better based on your enjoyment experience) đ?
The Chu has a more high-fidelity sound signature vs the ZSN Pro X's more traditional V-shape. ZSN Pro X has a beefier bass but vocals are not as forward as the Chu. Pro X is still a good IEM, it just depends on which presentation you like best.
@@PrimeAudioReviews thank you for your reply, im buying my first iem. By your review it help me to find what's close to my taste đ
theres also an annoying buzzing that constantly plays, I didn't find out until after I bought them, I rarely use them now because of that buzz I cant get rid of.
Normally buzzing comes from a noisy source like a computer etc
Looking to pick these up from Amazon đ
You should!
Does it have ANC and water resistant?
I bought a black one
Which one is better for pubg mobile ? Tell me please
How would you compare their sound to the kz zs10 pro's?
Saludos desde MĂ©xico đČđœ
Between kz zsn Pro and kz zst x? which one? and between Kz zsn pro and kz zst x? Thank you.
My choice would be the ZST X.
Heyo so I just ordered these earphones. I'm not an artist, nor do I know anything about studio recording etc. I'm just a high-school student who listens to hop hop and plays cod. My current earphones are a pair of xiaomi earphones. Did I make the right decision?
Yes.
Which one do you think is good for gaming, music and movies. Kz zsn pro, kz zsn pro x or razer hammerhead pro v2?
Bro get the KZ DQ6!
Should I get ZSN Pro X or Blon BL03. I have been using Soundmagic E10C for 5 years. Your response will be greatly appreciated.
I'd rec the KZ DQ6 or BLON BL03/Mini. The Mini is actually a safer bet than BL03 when it comes to fit.
Blon no doubt
So, if you want more "bass" you should choose the old one, kz zsn pro instead of kz snz pro X?!
Yes, that's right.
Zsn pro is more v-shaped, zsn pro x has better mids.
thank you
TRN ST1? KZ ZSN PRO X? KZ ZS10 PRO?
which is the much better than that?
any help please
i want the very terrible and super boomy BASS and clarity sounds..
ZS10 Pro or ZEX.
which IEM should I get that is under 40 dollars?
currently thinking of the pro x but I would like to hear others opinions since i donât really know how the other ones are
KZ DQ6, Moondrop SSR, BLON BL03, BLON BL-Mini.
20$ "Lunch money" As a filipino middle class teen im pissed.
Just keeping it real mate. That would legit buy you an average lunch in Australia. Here in Thailand it would buy you a buffet.
8:58 what do you mean with treble sensitve do you mean like when you're listening to music and that part kicks in you feel you're ears like they were bleeding?
Yes, exactly that.
@@PrimeAudioReviews dang then i have it. what do you suggest me to do lower the volume?
@nelfowz it usually means you need to find a warmer/smoother IEM or try some different eartips to get a better fit.
@@PrimeAudioReviews thank you đ
Should I buy ZSN Pro or Kz Zsn Pro X for just PUBG and gaming purposes.
Please Suggest
You should buy CCA NRA.
Is this good for calls? Mic quality wise. I want to have a decent mic with good sound quality for when I listen to music. Are there other better alternatives in a similar price point?
Yep, this is about the best mic quality you'll find at this price range.
@@PrimeAudioReviews ok thank you!
Looking for something under 30$ and is overall good. I plan on heavy gaming (mainly csgo) and biking so something comfortable? I listen to hiphop and indie. Lemme know whatâs good, also definitely nothing too sharp/harsh on the highs, the gunshot sounds really are loud.
Check out the KZ DQ6 or CVJ CSA.
@@PrimeAudioReviews any options for a non earhook design? iâd go for the tin t2 but itâs beating my budget
Should I buy xduoo x2s for my zsn pro x would there be any difference when compared to mid range smartphone?
Yes, the x2s will sound better than your phone. But if you use Spotify or Tidal etc you might want to consider a dongle DAC since x2s can only play from an SD card.
are they comfortable? I got the KZ ES4's and they cause a lot of discomfort and pain, unlike my KB Ear KS2s
Yes, these have very comfortable shells for me anyway.
You can get memory foam replacement tips,more comfy
Which is better for fps games? zst x, zsn pro x, spaceship or kz dq6? or any suggestion
Hi. I think the DQ6 is a good one for games.
I'm looking for earphones for under $20,is the zsn pro x the best option?
Yep, those or the QKZ VK4.
Tbh I would recommend you kz zst pro even if it's kind of old because the zst pro are so much cleaner up top with leaner mid base the vk4 has a little bit more bass but the zst pro has more details and cleaner...
even though iâm not aussie, british, or a kiwi, i prefer kâZEDâ not kâZEEâ
I got the pro x and honestly Iâm disappointed in the bass so Iâll probably return them or something and get the ks2
The bass is good when they seal in the ear properly otherwise it's so weak
I got them for fun to compare with my Airpods 3 and the Apple are much smoother and balanced
I watch lots of movies and listen to all types of songs and lots of calls and i need a theatrical effect so do u prefer this ?
Get zzz better
@@PrimeAudioReviews zzz ?
Omg I just order Pro X hope is good
Congratulations! I think you will like it.
@@PrimeAudioReviews I also get the aptx 4.2
What one is the best for movies and rap songs? BL-03 or Kbear kz2.
BL03 or CCA NRA.
Hi i ordered an iem, can we reduce the TREBLE in kz zsn pro x ? As in some tracks it is very harsh so can an app like wavelet helps ?
Can u suggest an all rounder iem under Rs 2500 (30 usd) to enjoy music..
Have you tried using different eartips? If you're not getting a good seal then you won't get a proper bass response and it will sound harsh. If you're just treble sensitive then you could check the KZ ZVX.
After using the kzn salnote zero,im prepared for an upgrade
What do you suggest as an upgrade from the salnote zero?
From cheap to expensive as long as theyre under 100$
I heard the wan er is really flat and good
Simgot EA500.
@@PrimeAudioReviews huh i never heard about it before
Do you have a video about it?
@@PrimeAudioReviews i heard about the titan and truthear but this is new
If Iâm in a position where Iâd have to use a dongle adapter on the go how much of the sound quality is lost?
Bro, if you're plugging a dongle into your phone the sound quality will be much better than your standard phone audio.
I just recently bought the pro X & the box was the same as the KZ ZSN Pro & had the same ear tips unless they both changed there packaging or quality control because mine kinda sounds pretty sh****
Are they loud, I really like headphones that are loud
Yes, they are loud. If they're not loud enough you need a more powerful source.
@@PrimeAudioReviews ok thank you good sir
They have a low omh around 25 and thatâs lower than stock Apple ear buds so yes they are loud
I canât go more than half volume when plugged into my iPhone. Normally Iâm almost max volume on AirPods
At 25 ohms, they can get p loud. If you get a DAC they are killer
Which is better between zst x and zsn pro x for pubg? Please tell me!đ
I would say zst x. It should be slightly better for footsteps and explosions.
I'm planning to buy this. Do you think it would be good with Samsung A20? I'm just gonna use it for music.
Yes, definitely. It is perfect for using with a smartphone!
@@PrimeAudioReviews thank you! đ
kz zsn pro x or blon bl-01? thank you for answering
I decided to not review the bl01 due to time constraints!
I like more bass sound but goods mids, Iâm confused and I donât know which one I should buy, the zsn pro, the zsn pro x or the zs10 pro
I recommend you get the zs10 pro.
@@PrimeAudioReviews and between the zs10 pro and the cca c12?
I have used zsn pro and i really liked it. Now i am wondering if i should buy zax or save some money and buy this instead?
@ammaar do you have 10 pro?
Which one should i get Edx Ultra or the Kz edx Pro x ???
Neither.
Sir, how does it compare to the bl03? I'm not that into bass, I would prefer something with more details and better build quality.
The BL03 is still better than this. But I think you should check out KZ DQ6 and ZS10 Pro.
@@PrimeAudioReviews cud you plz suggest which is better between zsn pro x & dq6
Dq6. But the zs10pro x is better than both
Would like to ask if will any iem be good for gaming? My gaming headphones that costs 3 times than this iem just broke down recently and I since im on a budget i wanted to buy a new pair but then i wanted to switch into using some earbuds or these iems but im also on a budget. I'm just wondering if is it fine to use these in playing games?
Yes, IEMs are great for gaming. The best ones are those that have a good soundstage and imaging.

@@ManaGuard I'd recommend the zsn pro X or CVJ CSA.
@@PrimeAudioReviews Alright, Thanks man!
So what you're saying is the zsn pro's have more bass and the zsn pro x's have a smoother bass or the same bass?because i can't decide which one to buy please give me advice
Pro X has smoother bass and smoother treble. ZSN Pro is more exciting but a bit more raw sounding.
@@PrimeAudioReviews thank you very much
Edx pro
Or
Edx pro x
Which one should i buy?
One of them. :)
Could you tell me whom to choose as my first iem zst x or zsn pro x.
Neither. Get ZS10 Pro X!
I bought them and was excited to use them but they make this constant hissing sound which drives me crazy.
That is background noise from your source (probably a laptop?) I'd suggest getting a cheap dongle DAC.
can i get a link for those white tips? currently i have comply foam on mine but i feel like they muddy up the sound.
Those are some generic tips that came with another IEM. I don't remember which ones but if you search for replacement eartips on AliExpress or Amazon you should be able to find something similar.
@@PrimeAudioReviews alrighty then mate
Confused between these 3 awesome IEMs
1) KZ - ZSN Pro X
2) Moondrop Chu
3) Tangzu wan'er sg
Likes: Clarity, sound separation, good bass (not much bass head types)
Genre: Kirtan (Yes, Sikh's Guru Nanak Kirtan) & Bollywood 1990s Kumar Sanu, Sonu Nigam & A.R Rahman.
Pls help me to decide.
Thanks in advance.
I haven't heard the Wan'er but I think the Chu (or 7Hz Zero) would suit your needs best.
DQ6 or ZSN Pro X for a guys buying IEM for the first time. I am coming from cheap earphones.
The DQ6 is a clear step up in quality and definitely worth paying a little extra for.
@@PrimeAudioReviews Thank you so much. I like a little more bass.
Hi! I have a question, so I'm a singer what kind should I get?
Probably something with good noise isolation (I assume you're talking about live performance?) Check out the Kinera BD005 Pro.
@@PrimeAudioReviews thankyou so muchđđ»
Are these suitable for metal rock and more instrumental music?
Yes, they're versatile enough for all genres.
@@PrimeAudioReviews thank you
What IEM can you guys recommend for Metal genre of music?
KZ ZEX or CCA NRA.
I know they aren't the same price but how do these compare to the Sound Magic e10's?
I haven't had a chance to try the e10.
Idk ZSN pros, but zst x has better soundstage(forward, backward) than e10s, the treble is better in zst x. Bass in e10s are not as tight as zst x. Overall, zst x sounds airy compared to e10s. I own both zst x and e10s
How is it's build quality???
Is it working perfectly till now??
They're built like a tank. Perfect condition till now.
@@PrimeAudioReviews I ordered like second ago. Need to hear my type of tunes on them trance vocal bangers. ATM I'm test subject of Venture electronics BIE Pro that are not on sale yet. They are fantastic will be around 100 bucks when go on sale. Had taste to try multi driver IEM's for a while so decided on those to see if i like them with my type of tunes :)
I still have my original VE Monk. đ
@@PrimeAudioReviews I had a listen and for Me Too much treble and bass is soso. compared to what i got. I got Zen's use that for relaxing tunes.
Mine was bright at first, but after burn in my EQ go flat. Just like you said, wish the bass was better.
Yeah, I prefer the DQ6 or ZS10 Pro to this.
