KZ ZNA

Overall Tonality : overal the ZNA sounds almost like Harmann Target Tuned with extra few db on the mid – upperbass, smooth treble, decent clarity with vocal placement sits parallel with the bass (no masking effect)


BASS : the ZNA has noticeable boosted bass profile, it has decent sub bass extension also few db upper bass boost, it didnt has the hardest slam, the bass presentation on this set is rather boomy, but the decay is rather quick,
the bass tuning is done in a really good way IMO, its safe for all genre, it can keep up with the most hectic double pedal metal songs such as Trivium, but it can be used for orchestral music, and pop music as well because the bass didnt really cover or mask the mids

the only thing i nitpick about the bass that it didnt really slam as hard as i like.


MIDS : ZNA has a rather lean mids presentation, i believe this is because of how the crossover between the DD and BA configured

ZNA mids sounds like balanced armature mids (though the marketing material said mid sound is coming from the DD?),
it also has that BA timbre sound to it, sound from instrument and vocal will sound lean , clean, crispy but not dry and harsh, tested on REOL song, and Anisong such LiSA and the likes, no sibilant / harshness can be heard from the ZNA
Mids on ZNA IMO also done in a pretty good way, especially the vocal placement. it is rather forward but not overly forward to a fault and becoming shouty.

if you like vocal but also like bass, with tight budget, the ZNA is one of the good pick in the price bracket

Treble : not the most extended treble extension, ZNA tuned rather safe, not splashy, it has smooth, but decent clarity and air, but the decay is rather short also not the most detailed treble presentation on the price bracket

timbre : not the most natural (like a “proper” single DD) but not weird at all, it just sounds like a decent hybrid set with a bargain price.

STAGE : it has decently wide, symmetrical soundstage (headstage), the stage presentation is as if coming inside from your head, but without exact wall placement (if you know what i mean then u know), idk if this was the effect of the grill around the faceplate or just the way ZNA sounds

Imaging : one word, MEH, not great, not bad, its just pretty average

Separation : the ZNA has good separation especially with a bass with this quantity.
between instrument, tested on NZK – Cage song, around minutes 1:00 IEMs / CANs with poor separation usually sounds pretty bad and sounds just like mushed up together on this particular song.

Positioning : ZNA also has decent positioning, tested on games like Apex Legends and Valorant i can easily pinpoint where the enemies coming from.

Detail retrieval : MEH, not great, not bad, its just pretty average

Moondrop Chu :
Build : Chu has non detachable cable, if something happens to the cable u need to purchase whole IEM or mod it to your local modders

Sound : Chu sounds even more leaner than ZNA, Chu has smaller bass quantity, more bright and extended treble, noticeably better detail retrieval than ZNA, Imaging and positioning also better on Chu, for stage the ZNA is wider, overall tonality for mass market is “safer” on the ZNA.

Tanchjim Tanya :

Build : same with Chu, Tanya has non detachable cable,

Sound : Tanya is noticeably more warm than ZNA, sound presentation on Tanya is more mid bass focused and Tanya has more harder slam than ZNA, Tanya treble is rolled off, Tanya not really recommended for metal genre.

Timbre is more natural on Tanya, overall technicalities is better on ZNA than Tanya.
