In my experience, I can't detect any BA timbre in the ZEX Pro, the treble feels natural and organic, like did they put a BA in this IEM? There's a little magnetostat timbre in the mix but BA? nope can't detect it.In comparison
Not sure on the "tone", kz ba have that metalic taste and whether we hit driver limitation, but so far its promising

Ah! The Tape Pro. I like that one as well, though I fear we may be in the minority....Well just impulse bought the AST, the allure of 12 drivers crammed into each ear was too much to resist. Hopefully it sounds good and holds up well. Be interesting to AB them with the Tape Pro (which sounds pretty good to me, now just hope they hold up). I wonder what the “improved” drivers are besides silver to black casings.

(this is the Knowles 30095 but the Bellsing one should be a copy anyway...)
It has the same peak at 4k, so It does look like the ZEX Pro is just damping it.

NOOOO budget brands are incapable of well tuned BAs
Ahhh, yah I feel like the 4kHz peak is somehow damped by the nozzle filter, maybe there's a BA timbre I just can't point it out since it's smoothed out.

I'm more curious with that 8kHz peak since I'm hearing occassional peaks at that frequency specially at higher volumes. Fortunately the peak is significantly reduced when I used the sony-ex11 eartips.
I mean you can say that, yeah. But I think its better if you can try the ZEX Pro personally. For me it's the awakening of KZ like what they made is not KZ iem anymore.NOOOO budget brands are incapable of well tuned BAs
I also still have it (and like it). I currently pair it to my KZ AZ09 Pro. it's my go to "better sounding KZ-y type sound" IEM.
If anyone is curious there's a paper like filter sandwitched with the mesh guard on the noozle, the insides are not visible through the nozzle.

What source(s) and tips do you use with your AST?

Mine zex pro has finally left china. Lets hope its gong by air and not sea, but for 20 quid including shipping, i seriously doubt it.

This is the closest I can get. Can't tell if its the filter you've send, also I don't want to pry the filters..hahaha..but its definitely not just a mesh grill.
