Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

Hi,

New user from India! Been trolling the forums for quite some time.. Have used the Monoprice 9970s and JVC FXT90s earlier, both broke apart quite quickly. Just jumped on the ZN1 discount on Aliexpress at $25.99. Hope it's worth it and 60-15KHz better be a typo.

Let's hope the Psychic ZN1 "Copernicus" can also be used with disabled built-in amp or flat battery. Really looking forward to it, although the nozzle does indeed look quite short, but I have to admit that the InEar StageDiver SD-2's nozzles look short, too, but fit perfectly (at least in my ears and many others).

  The KZ Psychic ZN1 is on sale (61% off) on AliExpress, only less than 19 hours are remaining (http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/KZ-Psychic-ZN1-Smart-Tunable-Dual-Driver-In-ear-Headphones-with-Built-in-Amplifier-and-Microphone/1358152_32444083695.html).
 
After I had surprisingly great experience with the ATE, I think I'm gonna buy this one, too. The built-in equalizer/amp thing with display sounds interesting, and it's got a dual-bore nozzle as well.

 
Thx for the link, after EDSE, ED3, ED8, ED9, ATE and ED10, now get the kz zn1 for $25.99.
 
PS: For those who want a spare earphone, the ED10 is at only $7.51 today with mobile-app.

Anytime. Discovered the Psychic ZN1 Copernicus myself two or three days ago and thought "interesting, but I'll wait for others' impressions if they are any food for $80 (or $70, or whatever their price was back then)".
Today, I opened the ED9 bookmark I set yesterday to see that their deal was gone (it wasn't, because it was on sale with a better discount on the mobile app, as I figured out later that day) and clicked the ZN1 page that gave me a shock, then caused frown, which then ended up in excitement. Honestly, I think you can't do much wrong with the $25 price ($29 - $4 app coupon), even if they don't sound as good as the other KZ IEMs, as the amp/equalizer and dual bore (for the price range) features are unique.

why seller say these things?

This headphone only fits for audiophiles, suggest ordinary user didn't purchase it.

The ordinary user who is insensitive at sound, strongly suggest didn't need to purchase it.


offer is too good to pass on. but now i'm in doubts

I am invisible reader of this thread.
Purchased ED9, which came faulty- left earpiece had bad connection, but sound was good, cannot tell how much because never listened to it in relaxed environment- always had to hold cable :)
Got ATE, and liked them, but only after I put different buds it started to shine - good sound for the up to 40-50 £ price.
Tomorrow will get ED10, will see how good it gets with them.
But looks like proper over the ear cans will do the job better than any IEM's

In fact I am for the search of the ultimate portable headphones, and most likely heading to Can Jam London this weekend to see and hear.

Hahahha....it's amazing. Just word-for-word copy and paste. No effort at all.

The reviews are the same because the seller is utilizing the "color" options to sell different models on the same page. If you look under each reviewer's name, you'll see which "color" (specific model) the person is reviewing. The three reviews are all for the ED-9 model.

Because this is with amps, the ordinary user will not like to wear this headphone, and if they are insensitive at sound, will pay more attention to other parts, will didn't think this is a good headphone, just this.

The nozzles is not very short as image, may be the housing is too big, haha

Yes, the ED9 cable is quite sticky and kinked when I received it but hairdryer up and down the cable takes the kinks out and as others have said talcum powder removes that fresh from factory tacky/stickiness.
 
My g/f trying to hijack my ED10s. Not going to happen.
Going to fob her off with my old Brainwavz.

Received my ED10 yesterday. OTB with those wide bore blue tips they sound very nice, better than the ATE (IMHO), easily could compare with my gears at 3~4 time the price. But them i decide to use my beloved ortofon silicon tips on them and HOLLY MOLLY! Highs are a little sharper (but nowhere aggressive in any way!) and seems more airier, everything seems to have more "space"; the bass although giving me the impression of being tighter, now has a really nice texture added to it and gives me the impression of going deeper than with the blue tips!
 
Very very impressed! How this things cost this low?
