Hello everyone,
I just took the shot on KZ ZVX pro at 3.82 euros sold by a Mexican on aliex with some discount new customer even if in reality I am not, I simply haven't bought for a few years.

Is not a Mexican store, is just the name of the store, there are a lot of KZ (country) Choice Store but all are shipped from China, I order mine from "KZ Brazil Choice Store" (I'm in Mexico), I paid 8.88 euros though, at 3.82 it's a steal.

Sure, it was just a way to make the store understood without naming it directly, since it's not possible. Yes, I made a great deal!


Update: they have already shipped, incredible !

Could you post the link. They sometimes don't show up for everyone for whatever reason.

The seller is KZ Mexico Choice Store but at the moment the price has risen to 13 euros, as I mentioned in the post above, I believe it is a combination of discounts that Ali gave me as a new customer, even though I am not at all, I simply hadn't purchased for years.
Still try to add them to the cart and see if they lower the price to entice you to buy.

Not sure how people feel about it but you can get their new member discounts over and over by using different throw away email addresses to sign up for new accounts.

Have we ever figured out a fix for stiffening cables? It's happening to my ED9 pros, which is really annoying. Also happened to the cable on my EDX lite and it killed four sets of KBear Little Qs over the last couple of years...

Searching around I see this has been a issue for a while but I didn't see a fix.

Who remembers Hexa nowadays.... Honestly, if that all-BA tuning was another brand it would be very hyped. That AM16 bass driver is massive. It seems its not that boring, clinical sound premium brands do when stack BAs. Of course, its a subbass focused tuning to preserve a balanced tonality. Kinda thin for me, but got impact and engagement.

KZ Krio. ($39)
TWS, 1xDD, ANC, LDAC and APTX Adaptive
https://www.kztws.com/products/kz-krio

its seems to be this is Carol but with Qualcomm bluetooth chip with APTX Adaptive options.

and oh hey, KZ made accompanying app for their TWS.
Not sure whether this is exclusive to Krio or it could be used for other KZ bluetooth products
hell, i'm not sure whether english version of the app available.

... KZ currently have three similar looking TWS with slight bracket difference.

KZ Sora, or the carol standard with AAC only connection
KZ Carol Pro, well Carol Pro with Bluetooth 5.4 and LDAC connection
KZ Krio, or Carol Pro-Pro, with Qualcomm chip which allows APTX and LDAC connection.

so far, it seems all of them have similar driver with very mild tuning differences.

Really enjoying the AM16 Balanced version. "Don't forget the original intention of using earphones is to enjoy music". That is certainly true with the AM16. This sounds amazing:
