I’m no audiophile and any sensory perception is subjective.
When I bought these in ’18 I was merely looking for a pair of headphones that were inexpensive. I had no idea what IEMs were. My frame of references were: the OEMs that came with iPhones I had before and the Samsung AKGs that I traded up to later, and a handful of other budget headphones and wired earbuds from various companies. For $20 these outperformed anything I’ve owned up to that point. As if it took all the great bass, mid, and treble elements from every headphone/earbud I liked, removed all the elements I disliked, and put them into this thing. I couldn’t believe it. How did these earbuds sound better and cost less than all the sound pieces I’ve bought before? Who the heck is KZ? I would later come to find out that this very IEM would become the starting line of the great budget IEM race.Fast forward 6 years. Tozo, Soundpeats, Anker, Moondrop, 7Hz, Dunu, etc. have saturated the IEM market with their offerings with a range of prices to compete with and even outperform tech giants. You know the ones. Some even have endorsements and collaborations from audiophile YouTubers. Even with all of these new products and the innovations made since this product came into the market, the KZ ZST still holds it’s own as a go-to option. With 14K reviews and counting, The KZ ZST has become the template and baseline for all other IEMs to follow.That said, downsides:Cables: The fact it has cables is a con in this day and age. It wasn’t an issue 5-6 years ago because smartphones still had headphone jacks. The cables went kaput after 2 years of everyday use. I thankfully bought upgraded IEM cables just in case and are what’s attached to the ZSTs now. I haven’t used the ZST after I got other IEMs and wireless earbuds in 2021 but I tested the ZST recently. It still works and sounds better.Build: The earbuds casings broke at the seams when I replaced the broken cables. They did snap back together and held together when retested them. For $20 it’s not a big issue.Features: It plays sounds…and that’s about it. No active noise cancelling. It’s wired so tangles are a thing.Sound: I repeat this is subjective. Your own mileage will vary.Volume: Great. Plenty loud. It has drivers and that helps in out in that department.Bass: Great. It’s not terribly aggressive and I prefer it that way.Mids: Clear vocals and instruments.Treble: Bright. Can get sibilant in some ranges.I maintain a score of 5 after six years of ownership. If you have a need for a wired $20 IEM that has stood the test of time, then these are still a good pick among MANY options.

Almost producer quality, except for somewhat elevated bass. Awesome price. Would buy again!
What I was looking for:After accidentally buying some IEM’s without knowing what it was (TNSO) (last picture), I was determined to find another pair. I couldn’t get the same ones (went unavailable), and didn’t know what to look for. When I finally stumbled upon more, I was plagued with trying to find some that had balanced sound. As someone looking to produce music, I didn’t want anything filtered. The best ones actually were cheaper than this but wouldn’t be able to hold up more than a few days.Why I chose these:It seemed like I was going to have to settle with some elevated bass. With the reviews as good as any on these, the price, replaceable cord (thought it’d be cheaper to just buy a whole new pair), I decided to get them.Sound Quality & Bass:My ears aren’t well trained. But I had some help learning about headphones with balanced sounds, and got recommended some headphones in my budget that many producers use (pretty much only producers from the looks of those reviews). I got them, was testing them out, and pitting them up against these earbuds. I was shocked at how similar the quality was. Only difference is that I could then tell the elevated bass, which this definitely does have. Probably not to the liking of those who want super elevated. While I don’t even like it myself, it doesn’t bother me with these. So if you want super elevated, these probably aren’t for you. But I can say that these might be the most accurate to sound you can get for casual use. Which is what these are for, I use them for casual listening, internet scrolling, and video sharing skype calls with my bestie. I pop the more professional headphones for working. I almost felt bad though for getting the headphones when these were so similar. The elevated bass was definitely a problem, but if not for that, I probably could’ve gotten away using these for producing too. No joke. But it probably will be better to produce with headphones rather than earbuds. The 3d illusions are more immersive. But truly I think I could just use these had it not been for the bass, I wouldn’t have known that before though.Noise Cancelling:I think the noise cancelling on the accidental IEMs were some of the best, people could be talking less than a foot away from me & me not even know they were there until the song ended. I don’t think that’s happened with these, but I don’t have trouble with hearing external noise over them. I don’t always listen to loud stuff but I do a lot of scrolling on Instagram, tik tok, or listening to K-pop, which is all pretty full & busy sounds. So I’m good on that.Longevity:I’m over a year in now, got these November 24th 2021 (first 2 pictures), It’s November 30th 2022 now (3rd picture). They’re holding up good. I think the cord has changed color, the clear plastic, from food stains most likely. I’ve had no issues with the in ears, and the cord seems like it’s doing just fine. It tangles pretty good. It’s not hard to untangle but the part that bends over the ears makes it difficult. I don’t find that deterring. I think the way these cords are made, are just less likely to have issues. And it’s really an unbeatable price for sound quality at $17 when I bought them, even if they only last a year or two. I suspect these will hold up longer than any I’ve had. Around 2 years has been my max before, and around that 2 year mark I’ve had duct tape on the cord to hang on a little longer. If I can update in a year, I’ll try to do so.

Tiene un zumbido, le pongo 5 estrellas para que no se pierda el comentario.

I was looking for some In-ear studio monitors to DJ with as I like to play with Fedora’s on and over heads don’t quite work with hats on. I saw the positive reviews and the large amount of purchases and decided to get these. Boy oh boy am I glad I did.Look: I purchased the Colorful ones and they are beautiful to look at. They look like really expensive In-ear.Build:They appear to have great build quality. The cord seems pretty strong, but in the even they break, can easily be replaced by another cable.Comfort: They have multiple silicone tips you can swap out for your size. Once determined, they sit perfectly in the ear canal. The first part of the cable is firmer in order to be placed behind the hear so it does not fall out. It is also very comfortable.Over all, these are amazing, just get them, you won’t regret it.Audio Quality: These simply sound amazing, great mids and lows. The highs can been tuned down slightly but sound great none the less

Cool
