    What I hate about Castor is that it's heavy and bulky, but it's probably because of the dual drive and customizing tuning feature it has. Not to mention that most of its build is also made out of metal, so it's really heavy on the ear. If you fail to find a really good eartips that fits really well on your ear, they could fall off, especially when you're walking or maybe doing something else. This is the main reason why I appreciate plastic material cause it's lighter, obviously, almost feels like you aren't wearing anything at all. Like, there's absolutely no point going for metal cases, I ain't gonna use it as a weapon or something, y' know. And in case of breaking the unit if it falls, well, the heavier the subject the greater damage it will take. Like, c'mon.., having metal materials doesn't always mean it's better or it's "high quality". It would also even cost you less to produce your product, so it's a win. I just don't understand this BS and it's also frustrating.

    Very good and concise comparison!
    I differ on just one point. I love the Saga's because , to my ears at least, their midrange is the best I've heard on a budget KZ IEM. The vocal presentation is so nice with them as well as great bass and highs. It almost feels to me like they took the few flaws in the Castors( upper range) and tweaked them in a positive way. That being said, l like both the Castor Bass edition and the Libras as well! Don't have the EDXs. Can't go wrong with any of these as you said! 🙂

    Try tip rolling with the Libra maybe. The frequency response(especially for the bassy balanced version) shows that the bass extends well into the subbass and shouldn’t really have any roll off even at 20hz which is the absolute limit of human hearing

    I was considering upgrading my KZ Castor to the KZ Saga because of what people say about them and to try what many consider a great sound-better than the KZ Castor Bass. Based on what you mentioned in your video, do you think the KZ Castor are better? That way, I can stop thinking about the upgrade and stick with the KZ Castor for good. Great video, by the way! Thanks!
