Review: KZ ZSN Pro 2 : Not The Zsn series We Know!!
Pros: °160π Diffence from the OG zsn pro.
°Treble extended without hurting my ears.
°Natural Timbre and Vocal
Cons: Cons:
°Despite its improvements over the original ZSN Pro, the ZSN Pro 2 is not without its flaws. The earpieces' fit may not be ideal for all users, with some experiencing discomfort during extended wear due to their bulkier design. Additionally, while the overall sound signature is enjoyable, it may lack the refinement and nuance found in higher-priced alternatives.
°Same as another KZ.. eartips and cable.. soo bad.

Recently, I had the pleasure of trying out the KZ ZSN Pro 2, also known as its Gen2 iteration. Given my past experience with the original ZSN Pro, I approached this new version with a mix of curiosity and skepticism.

Build Quality and Design:
The ZSN Pro 2 maintains KZ's ZSN signature design language with its sleek and modern appearance. While the earpieces feel sturdy and well-constructed, the detachable cable could be more durable, as it feels slightly prone to tangling and wear over time.. so meh..

Sound Quality:

(Bass): The bass response of the ZSN Pro 2 is adequate but lacks the depth and impact found in higher-end models. While suitable for casual listening, it may leave bass enthusiasts wanting more punch and resonance.

(Mids): The midrange reproduction is where the ZSN Pro 2 shines, delivering clear and detailed vocals with good separation. However, at times, the midrange can feel slightly recessed, impacting the overall warmth and richness of the sound.

(Treble): The treble performance of the ZSN Pro 2 is commendable, with improved clarity and extension compared to its predecessor. However, the treble can occasionally exhibit a hint of sibilance, particularly with poorly mastered tracks or at higher volumes.

Technicalities:
From a technical standpoint, the ZSN Pro 2 offers decent soundstage width and instrument separation, providing an immersive listening experience. However, its imaging capabilities fall short of more premium offerings, resulting in a slightly congested presentation in complex passages.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the KZ ZSN Pro 2 offers a compelling package at its price point, with notable improvements over its predecessor. While it may not excel in every aspect, it provides a respectable entry point into the world of audiophile-grade sound without breaking the bank. If you're willing to overlook its shortcomings and prioritize value for money, the ZSN Pro 2 is worth considering for budget-conscious listeners seeking an upgrade from entry-level offerings.

Rating:
- Low: ★★★★☆

Nice review, I enjoyed the bass and midrange in particular, but found the Highs too bright. But a great sound for the price.

The box of the KZ ZSN PRO-2 is as expected simple and efficient, inside the IEM, a cable and small, medium and large tips this time they are a translucent white starline tips. The Build of the ZSN Pro-2 is actually better than the original with a robust faceplate that reminds me of the classic ZS10 pro. It comes in three color options, Blue with silver, silver and gold. comfort is as always good with nothing to complain about, that classic guitar pick shape is always a good choice. Isolation is good with just the stock tips I found it worked well for me. The tips are fine and a tried-and-true staple in the industry, years ago I'd always keep a set of original starline around. The cable is a good choice for KZ, its simple and it works for most applications and while it is not my favorite from them it works fine.

Sound impressions:
Bass:
Starting at the Bottom the Bass of the New ZSN-PRO-2 is impactful and deep. Sub-Bass presents with good weight and texture and a nice well controlled rumble that has a decent speed and decay. Mid-Bass has an excellent punch and speed to it. While the Bass in general is powerful it is by no means overpowering and Bass head levels, maybe just a little under Bass head. Just a well-controlled and powerful performance overall and without fatigue like some V-shaped IEM.

Midrange: While not a Mid centered IEM the Midrange particularly lower Midrange has some warmth but not a lot and vocals and instruments present with good clarity and separation. Upper mids and female vocals are not overly stressed and therefore no shouty or spiciness is heard just nice, pleasant mids, vocals are forward just a little and midrange can be a little recessed depending on the music and source.

Treble: The Highs present with an open and airy brilliance, they are bright and have a good extension. I found the sparkle of the highs to be very pleasant without any over emphasis. There is details and brightness but for the most part the Treble is well controlled.

Soundstage: The Stage is well done with aa nice expansive width and great depth; imaging is precise, and I do think this one is great for games and movies on the go.

Afterthoughts:
The new KZ ZSN pro-2 is definitely an improvement of the original in many ways. A fun Vshaped IEM with great Bass, good midrange and treble and wide soundstage. combined with a quality build and cool retro looks this one is a winner.
