I just bought Moondrop Aria with understanding that i won't buy another IEM this year...
but KZ ZEX just become "ready stock" at USD $22 in my local store..
Please give me strength to wait at least till KZ ZEX Pro.

Just wait. Mine come with 13$ and free shipping so...

The ZEX Pro look a lot better than the standard ZEX, at least in my opinion. Especially the black on black model, which looks super sophisticated since they made the shell and faceplate narrow back down. Hopefully they're fairly coherent, though that definitely isn't KZ's strong suit when they decide to mix and match driver types. And sometimes even when they don't.

The silver and black one reminds me of Moondrop Variations

the waiting is purgatory

The force is with me! I'm not buying anything else from my DQ6, unless there is a upgradable set with such analog vinyl type signature DDs providing even more for 50-60$. Fullstop! LOL (and I mean it!)

I'm waiting for the DQ7. Expecting 6 DDs minimum.

I just picked up the DQ6, still in burn in so haven't been able to judge it yet.

But, when will the KZ ZEX pro be available? Does anybody know.

Ha....got a good laugh from this.

I am still rockin' my KS10 Pro and Zax...love them both

ZEX in blue (officially "graphite") materialized (made on Oct 14)

The trilayer structure and the shade of blue are really nice.
The same plastic matrix as NRA, looks a bit neater in internals, such as soldering.
No discernable difference between DDs from the top, but the ZEX aluminum plate definitelty has more volume, so possibly the difference is deep inside:

ZEX will be burned now for a day or two

That would be amazing.

Here's my dream KZ: I'd call it BCN: dual bass 22955s, and a single 8mm carbon nanotube microdriver for mids and treble.

Those are pretty!

Honestly, I'm not impressed often when it comes to the ultrabudget range. But this, this was a pleasant suprise. Do check my review out if you're interested in learning more about the ZEX.

Retail at 11$ (my country)

Hey people, figured I'd ask for my recommendation here: I bought the KZ ZAS recently and was less than impressed. Mids seem buried, bass is bloated. I was under the impression that these were more or less a direct improvement upon the ZSX, they are quite different. Also the inline mic is terrible.

Liked the ATE
Thought the ZST was good too
Hated the Blon03 (poor ear fit, didn't live up to the hype)
ZSX is the closest to what I might consider "all-day listenable". But they broke.

So, as a newbie. I'll just ask: what do I like? Any brand will do. Under $100 preferably.

Tripowin Mele or Moondrop Aria. If you can stretch your budget to $200, the 7Hz Timeless is tough to beat.

Does KZ ZEX sound better than KZ ZSX? I have KZ ZSX with KZ gold silver mix cable that I use with my Fiio M3K.
