Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

This is simply amazing on ASX, pumping, gorgeous and thick low end and all the litle nuances and cimbal sparks comming from around :)
Edit: After reading all negative reviews and seeing the graph, I did not expect to like ASX as much as I do.

Listening on Sennheiser HD598cs - balanced 4.4mm - was... "nice"...

Moved to the KZ ZAX's and, WTH???!!! What a jump into another realm, I can't wait to try the ASX's!! :L3000:

I'm confused..almost going to place my order for the KZ ZAX..should I hold? it seems there may be some contentions, are they still the King of current hill or slope atm for KZ?

They're really good but I haven't compared with the ASF or ASX. The problem that they have is that the price point has a lot of strong competition.

For the price, they're an amazing unit. But I can't compare them to these new All-BA units. Then again, they have different price points. I've never been fond of all BAs and their bass,but I admit my mind could be changed with new tech that bridges the gap.

The zax and asf are in the same price bracket. If you ask me which one I would get, I would get the asf, but the fit is different in the asf. It is bigger and has custom iem body style which won't fit some people at all. While the zax is smaller and easier to fit for most people's ears.

Just got mine out of the mailbox. Will post an impression soon.

....Ok, finally got a chance to give them a try. I'm actually surprised at how well they fit and how good they sound. I'm not sure how this monstrosity pops into my ear so well and stays there, but somehow it works....very well actually.

Good thing I'm not a reviewer because all I can say is that they sound really good to me which I wasn't expecting. They are not muffled or veiled like some reviews I read. They have a rich bassy full spacious sound.

I would actually purchase these again. :smile_phones:

If someone tells me a song to test and what to listen for maybe I could give a more useful evaluation.

Great, let's hope you can avoid glasses, too :)

I bet you need a more competent audiologist, however.

:xf_cool:
Maybe that's why jazz is so nice... hit those mid-ranges, baby! .... and listening to music is less frustrating than having to out out to the truck to get my bloody glasses so I can see the tv...

And yes the ASF is a fun sounding IEM.

That sounds so good on the ASF I saved it so I can listen to it again later.
These are nice....I can't really find any flaws so far.
The sound coming from them sounds like it's coming from something much bigger than little earphones.

And I'm still amazed how well they fit. When I first looked at them I was thinking no way in hell that bulky thing will fit in my ear and stay there, but they fit just as good as my best-fitting pair which are way smaller. The bulk is all on the outside I guess, and they are light.
