I just got my ZAX today, and I'm very impressed by the coherence across all frequencies and the overall SQ. They're also more comfortable than my beloved ZSXs. They've got a great IEM on their hands here, and so far I'm very happy. I'll post more impressions after I get some hours on them.

Just got the new KZ ZAX.
I've spent more than a decade searching for the perfect sound in an earphone. This is the 64th earphone (and 13th KZ earphone) in my IEM collection. By far the best I've ever heard. I think I'll stop now. I am finally satisfied.
A great endorsement, but you sure you are going to stop searching?

I just got the ZAX and I am mightily impressed. I had been considering the Tin P1, but after listening to the ZAX, I can't imagine the P1 being better. I should say that I also bought the Tin T2 Pro and hated it (something about the treble), so maybe Tin's tuning isn't for me. What do you think of the ZAX vs the P1?Nice collection!
I have had the KZ ATE's for a long time. Always found them easy to listen to. A friend bought the ZS10 and ZS10 Pro, he said he liked the ZS10, the best.
Have been hanging out with the TinHiFi P1's (using an 850mw portable amp w/bass boost) lately. They have me loving the lush, uber-detailed and quick mids.
ZAX's have impressed, so far. Need to listen to some 'favorite tracks' to get a better feel. But there is controlled treble...so very happy with that, thus far.

Detailed ZSX vs ZAX comparison please!I just got my ZAX today, and I'm very impressed by the coherence across all frequencies and the overall SQ. They're also more comfortable than my beloved ZSXs.

ZAX vs ZSX:Detailed ZSX vs ZAX comparison please!
Bass: ZSX has more mid bass quantity. Both hits pretty hard tho on kick drum, but the ZSX has a little bit more oomph from the midbass whereas the ZAX is tighter. Sub bass is about the same.
Mid/vocal: ZAX is more forward in the vocal. Both has the same characteristic KZ's mid. It is easier to hear the detail on the ZAX.
Treble: ZAX sounds more open and airy than the ZSX. I thought ZSX sounds open and airy but the ZAX takes it to another level. Cymbals has a longer sssss sound on the ZAX.
A definite upgrade from the ZSX imho.
I am listening to Blue Man Group "How to be a Megastar Live" with ZAX on one side and ZSX on the other side and the difference in openness is quite apparent. Some background sounds is easier to distinguish with the ZAX. It just sounds clearer imho.

I think that's going to be my next purchase, but I'm holding off for the 11.11 sale with hopes the discount will be good. So you are using the "2 pin" adapters for the KZs? The listing isn't terribly clear that they're QDC/KZ type.Just got another trn bt20s pro delivered today.

what is the purpose of attaching white sticker blocks on the BT20s pro?
nvm 3 seconds later i think you want to label them so you wont mischarge/misplace with your another BT20s Pro unit / case

Actually I don't have to put sticker lol. I am just a sucker for glow in the dark sticker. I already ordered the matte black version of ZAX. For now, I am using CCA C10 with it.what is the purpose of attaching white sticker blocks on the BT20s pro?
