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
@@1337wafflezz hmm... Interesting. I'll try that and get back to you with results :) Although I still think it's made to be that way, but I'll let you know my findings!
I use ambrane 200 rupees (3.2 $) dac which shows on website it supports lossless audio should I be considering a upgrade D07 dac ...? Does DO7 dac really make any difference? Also i own the og KZ CASTOR herman edition....
Hello Bro🙏🙂👍 please rank the top 3 switch tuning combinations for the KZ Castor Pro Bass (#1, #2, #3) and provide valid reasons for your choices. Thank you 🙏🙂👍
@anas_voice_over yeah, the 29-50 price range is getting a lot better than it was two years ago. Though there's still a lot to improve on the upper mids and lower treble.
@@anas_voice_overYour shorter title opted for becomes a little misleading though since the KZ EDX Pro and KZ EDX Pro X are different models.. Same class but different models.
Kx edx pro are my first and only IEMs and I'm looking to upgrade. What purchase advice would you give to me who ABSOLUTELY HATES the edx sound quality/timbre... Whatever and prefers something with: more bass extension into the sub bass, better technicalities, more clarity across all frequencies.
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!
@@joshepidk6467 thanks for the comment! I sincerely think the Castors are better overall if not for the fact they're heavier. That's my only caveat. Otherwise I'd recommend them sound-wise over the sagas any day :)
I plan to buy the iem, my preference is study perpes and melody, classic music hears sometimes rock music. Light weight+ long session use with no fatigue and iem with mic support iem suggest bro. 2k price range.
kz castor but stretch your budget a little and you can get the qkz x hbb which is also very good. they are practically in the same budget range if you can get a deal
Я пробовал, заказал castor pro balance и kz saga bass edition. Так вот мне больше понравились kz saga bass edition, они более лучше выдают высокие, чуть детальнее и бас у них не плохой. Хотя в kastor pro бас тоже хороший. Но castor pro для меня слишком большие, даже со средними насадками из уха торчат.
@@propheticEp I haven't gotten the chance to try the the waner yet unfortunately. So I can't say for that. But Im confident you'll like the castor as much as I did :)
@@andrezpalencia3033 most of these headphones do. Issue is, the ones with present mids have such unclean and unstable mids that it causes it to come across really harsh
@anas_voice_over i had zs10 it was ok, not harsh good bass but lacked a little bit of brightness, but most of all, it didnt bury details in mids under bass and highs like those castors, with castors i miss music, i miss whole instrument lines, a little bit to make them fun its ok, castors have overdone it yeah, its spacious, but at the cost of music.
@andrezpalencia3033 we definitely have different experiences with this. I found the zs10 to bury a bit less which is true. But I also found it extremely harsh for my own liking. Too much treble.
Budget IEM are better is an illusion...They sound just like a normal rs 400 wired earphone even worse ..Build is cheap , uncomfortable to wear means it's just hype nothing much...So don't bye this budget IEM... If you have to buy an IEM go for studio quality IEM or else don't bye
Thanks for the review, i have the kz castor balanced and sounds incredible.
