Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

  i wandered onto this forum by accident--my initial reaction was bewilderment at how such an obscure, cheap product could generate 10k+ obsessive posts. now i seem to have caught the kz disease and find this forum oddly intoxicating, like watching waves crash. just started binge-purchasing the phones, as well--have the edse in hand and the ate and hds3 on the way. more will surely follow.

Don't forget the ED9 (get black!) and the ED3c...they are very good IMHO.

Funny how that happened eh Loomis

You have joined a band of brothers in the quest for the best $10 iem on the planet

It's been a lot of fun but I'm moving on from KZ these days but they are a decent iem to have fun with

Best hold that wallet tight though

I think there are better $10 IEms out there sound quality wise, but not build quality wise and certainly not with a new model every few weeks lol

  aiight, time to sell my new apple earpod I just got today on ebay :3 for 30 bucks lol~

The main draw of KZ is that they are the excellent earpod replacements with better sound for 1/3rd the price.

The unique sound and design of each model, the bargain price, and the pace at which they release new models can get addicting. They still haven't nailed anything that can compete in the $100+ sector, which I hope they eventually move on to. A $30 KZ that can keep up with a $150 standard, or a $65 KZ that matches a $200+ is what I look forward to happening in the future.

i'm gonna regret asking this, as it will only fuel my addiction, but is there a material difference in sound signature between my edse and the ed9/ed3c?
one thing about getting old is that your passions/ambitions get smaller and smaller.........

True BH, I wish KZ would take that next step and start challenging Easy, ****, HCK and a host of others who've jumped in head first with the DIY customs

I'm proud to announce that I'm getting started into the KZ's world =D
My first buy has been the KZ ZN1-Mini, because I'm so interested on trying some Dual-Driver IEMs
 I hope I enjoy them as much as the rest of you¡¡

Rock zircons are pretty special though I do love the ZN1 minis I have however they are more sensitive to the sound signature of your player. Zircons seem to work better across the range of daps I have. Anyway just received the ATE and ED-9 models so let's see how they work out

Same here as I have had my ATE's for a day now. All in all a very welcome experience with the KZ brand. :)

  The ZN1's cable is short; 39", or just under 1 meter. Standard seems to be 1.2 meters.


OK B9, it's official and you are right on the money bud

39" and 17 1/2" from ear piece to splitter but as I mentioned they work for me having my iPhone or DAP at my waist

I rediscovered these beauties.

Small bore tips with a tiny bit of cloth in them and they're perfect.


Better? April's fools?  Or for real?
