The ZEX can be an NRA clone . Let's hope it won't be.

An NRA clone with a BA in the nozzle would be kinda hilarious

Is there more info about the ZEX?

Not that I've seen on English media.

Does ZEX supposed to be revision to ZAX or is it a cheaper alternative?

based on naming convention alone, I assume that the ZEX will be KZ's next flagship hybrid. The ZSX "Terminator" was the first model hybrid that wasn't named with a number to indicate the driver count, after the ZS10 Pro.

ZSX -> ZAX -> ZAS -> ZEX.

So does the ZEX got the new driver inside?

Basically KZ version of NRA (MST based) I guess

CCA CA24 is available, price is a bit too high to my expectations($128@hifigo), so I’d give it a wait. The FR looks the bass is handles better than CA24’s old brother KZ AST! Well the treble still looked quite rolled off, another DF-neutral ish targeting approach.

Treble Rolled off Looks very dark

Oh wait!! That red line is AST!? It’s even bassier than AST? No way

I thought CA24 was AST2.0 but it seems CCA didn’t revise anything.

What a waste…. Having identical sound with two different brands.

Hopefully their graphs aren't accurate about the treble cliff, because that's a ridiculous amount of roll-off before 10kHz. The weird mids hump also got even bigger. These graphs confuse me so much.

I have AST and it is quite dark. It works for basshead with ultra treble sensitive ears.

For myself, I had to try to find a way to salvage treble. The stock deep inserted white silicone tips helps a bit though, it brings outlet bore near ear drums, and shorten the resonance chamber in the ear canal. Once EQ’d AST got pretty nice techs behind.

I've been out of the game for a while. I still have the S1 wireless IEM. Which would be considered the best KZ wireless nowadays?

For TWS KZ SK10 is 2BA + 2DD, the battery life issue of old kz tws is gone.

Thanks for the info! I'll have a look.

I want to take a small step forward compared to AST, I bought them for $ 80 (a pretty good price for them), so I decide to choose moondrop kato or 7 Hz timeless, or maybe even pmv pp. I will focus on a fairly good separation, elevated sub-bass, non-nasal midrange and non-shouty upper midrange and high frequencies. Kato seems to be a good all-rounder, but perhaps he lacks a sub-bass. So if it close to kxxs, how it comparable to AST, except elevated bass? 7hz timeless and pmv pp seem similar and are suitable for my taste. The only drawback of 7 Hz is its mmcx, and they can have not good enough, for commuting, sound isolation and quite high sound leakage.
