I bought this because there is hype on these ZST. I mean, cheap enough(Again I am into chi-fi), with a BA. No need to explain some ergonomical issues since they are explained into pros and cons. Now to evaluate sound signature with these ZST Sound signature on Stock wire: Bass: Bass is kind of felt more than heard, but the major gripe of these is most of the bass has less presence and impact, especially impact. You hear that bass sounds from the violet shell. Mids: Mids are recessed but still quite articulate and smooth enough(you will hear dat )...

I have purchased the Monk plus because of a.) The hype b.) Nostalgia on earbuds. Note: I am reviewing the Espresso Edition monks Build: I respect the build of these CHi-Fi(Cheap HiFi or Chinese HiFi, pick your poison) earbuds. The cable is not so much tangly, but they still know how to do kinks. The Earbud shells feels like they are good enough as far as the build(Except being stepped on, the shells are still plastic). The weakest link would be the earbud foams which may get holey over time, and my Symmetry OCD makes me bother on the holey earbud...

Foreword: In the audiophile world, there is a lot of "Snake Oil". Buy this and it improves audio, buy this and blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Plugged my FiiO K1 in my new Dell XPS L702x and the sound became different, the Sub-bass become more impactful. I plugged it into...

Something about me before the review: I started live mixing as of April 2017 every Sundays. Still quite the amateur but I am quite learning about live mixing I am formerly a bassist. I prefer fun-neutral sound signature. A some sort of V-shaped or M-Shaped Frequency response to help me hear the low-end and the high frequencies. I am quite the detailhead, but I would love at least little amounts of soundstage and imaging to at least have some panning details to be clear. Build Quality These headphones are like Toy-Grade build like this is like...

So first of all, since all reviews are subjective, I will gonna state some stuff about me first before I go review the Product. My Background: I am a amateur bassist. I am currently doing live mixing at church. I am someone on a budget so don't expect reviews about High-End Gear. My Music Preference: Rock, Jazz, J-Pop, J-Rock, K-Pop, EDM, Heavy Metal, Acoustic Music My Preferred Sound signature: I prefer some sort of bass boost, but not up to the level where the music sounds muddy. I would rather listen to no bass than listen to muddy...
