I ordered the ZEX Pro. Still waiting for it to be sent out. Last day tomorrow before the order gets cancelled. What's people opinion of the official KZ site on aliexpress.
Pretty good store. Never had a problem with them.

Well, damn, that bass shelf looks amazing. Treble looks similar to the TForce Yuan Li, very atypical of KZ. Lots of potential just from the graph.

the whole point of the ZEX is that they used a more balanced tunning and its still slightly bloated, im not very happy to see that bass shelf, also the armature was to reinforce the mid and top range, something i see that was not done, actually the opposide was done.

the ZEX Pro seem like a return to the old KZ tunning. its ok but it wont be getting any prizes.

That's disappointing. Have you burned them in a little yet? The Zex Pro's get well reviewed so far.

That's why I love Chifi. These unexpected turnarounds every month are making 2021 one of the best years ever in this segment.
I second that. This year, I have branched out to other Chifi brands like Moondrop, TinHifi, 7Hz, Tripowin and soon Fiio. They all have been fantastic and some of them are exceedingly awesome (Kato and Timeless). Funny thing is the more I went away from KZ/CCA, the more I appreciate single driver IEMs instead of going multiple same or different drivers combination. Also, under $100 segment IEMs are very competitive right now. TinHifi T3+, Aria and Mele are tuned really well and they are easily exceeding their value.

Anyone got the T10s? Those look quite nice.
Me, the build quality is quite nice, however it only has SBC/AAC codec which is quite a bummer since it is somehow, sounds enjoyable in wired mode. Transparency mode is quite nice too.

I guess we'll wait for KZ T10s Pro with QC3040 and APTX-HD.
