KZ ZSN Pro

A improved version of the ZSN and ZST line with more refinement in sound details and a more controlled lower end. Yes its a typical V shaped signature with lots of energy but is far more balanced in mids and bass than I was expecting the highs have that KZ sparkle that's not for everyone but can be adjusted with better tips or EQ settings. Build quality is outstanding for this price compared to my older ZST they look like much more expensive earphones.
My thanks to Senlee audio for the review sample so I could do a video and this review in my own opinion as always.

Those are great for the price, well balanced, not harsh, maybe a bit, but on pair with the standard v.shaped sound, nothing like the beyerdynamics 990 that pierces my ears for example
Mids doesn't seems as recessed as i was expecting, and bass is present but not too prominent
Overall for the price paid i think those are a safe bet.
Only cons are the built in cable, that tangles way too easily and the harsh highs (again, it doesn't bother me that much, and i'm pretty treble sensitive)

Accessories and packaging
The kz zsn pro comes in the usual minimal white kz box. On the front is a outline of the kz zsn pro and on the back there are specifications on the back.

• frequency: 7-40000 HS
• impedance: 24
• sensitivity: 112dB

Inside the box when opened the kz zsn pro are presented with a cut out box. The accessories that are include are the warranty card, the manual, the cable, and 3 “starlight” kz ear-tips.

Build quality
The build quality of the kz zsn pro are almost identical to the original zsn. It has a metal build on the front and a plastic build that covers the rest. In my opinion I didn’t like the cable of the kz zsn pro because the color wasn’t very attractive, I would have rather preferred a copper cable like the purple kz zsn or a black cable.


Bass
The kz zsn pro has punchy mid-bass but it is able to remain controlled without over-invading mids but will still bleed to the mids.

The sub-bass can get deep and fill-in any deep bass requirements of any track and genre but will not have a basshead-styled sub-bass. The bass heads will not enjoy this very much because of the sub-bass

Mids
The kz zsn pro mids have a bit of mid-bass bleed, yet it is still alive.

Higher mids and female vocals are clear and crisp with slight risk of harshy peaks – only with track with very intense higher mids.

Highs
The kz zsn pro highs are bright with fair detail and an almost forward tuning that can risk to become fatiguing at times.

Some piercing peaks can arise.it can be quite harsh for some listeners.

Overall, it’s upper end is open for a closed back earphone.
