The DDDU configuration looks amazing. Finally an IEM without a ridiculous bass boost. Even Moondrop keep adding sub-bass nowadays - nice to see something budget that can be a bit more neutral. It will be the first time in 2 years I'm giving KZ a shot. Hope it's as good as it graphs!
pretty nice to see ppl still open to KZ after what happened, i bought the tangzu encounter and then that whole thing about it came to light lmao. the best ones i've spent on are the VE monks and yincrow X6 has been worth my $20 xD
For all practical purposes audio devices are very much like a black box. If it sounds good to you, who cares if they did 3 drivers in reverse polarity, left 1 unconnected out of the 7 they cram in a single shell?
@@quadrannilator yes who cares, im just bringing it up again because i saw a few reviewers were so diss about the whole thing, im just saying that it's nice to see there are people who still reviewing their stuffs
To be honest I don't like being charged 200$ either if my IEM had a bare copper coil that made sound which I even liked. But I guess that's the price to be paid for discovery. And the fact that my ear and mind can be fooled so easily.
KZ is willing to try new things others would’ve copied. Have the ZVX and find the zobel network refreshing although the rawness in the treble may be a hit or miss. The natural progression is hit the buy button. Can’t wait for it to arrive.
@ian fann Can you recommend please which KZ should I get? Purpose :- Games (awesome sound stage), Music (lower bass and vocals - priority), movies (clear dialogues and awesome sound stage - priority)... I'm confused among KZ ZAR, KZ ZAS, KZ As 16 pro, KZ ZS10 pro x... I don't know which one to get. Can you please recommend ASAP plz?
@@synceno821 Nahh... I got the KZ ZAS on Ian's recommendation... It's way too good to even compare with ZS10 pro x. The sound stage on that... Chef's kiss

This might be the best thing for someone with fluctuation hearing sensitivity on a budget! 😮 I really like the subtle bass adjustments for the neutral tune. 😊
Ur description reminds me of Blon 01, analytical with tight bass and need power to excel it's sound quality. I really enjoy Blon 01 as its very clear n clean with good sound separation even while listen to metal songs and tight bass ❤.
Same, I have the same taste of your's in music. I hate edm, rap, metallic songs. I love string instruments, smooth slow songs, in fact I have many songs sung by Jack e Chan. I love coldplay, sia, Adele, Sam Martin, all calm songs
What kills me is they did all that tuning switch gimmick when they could of released the default tuning in a much nicer shell. Smaller, not all metal, lightweight IEM shell. I can't say it enough but if an IEM doesn't want to stay in your ear for hours and hours it's not great. You want one that you can forget you have it in and these big metal ones remain me of the Starfields I own which despite being amazingly good sounding they slip out after a couple hours due to heat, sweat and the seals break.
Tbf it's the same people that try to justify the tiniest change in the frequency graph for the large increase in price. Including the sound changes with different ear tips and ESPECIALLY changes in sound with cables.

damn not only is this an excellent tuning from kz and it even lets you control the bass profile
Seems to be 3 level bass control (+1db, +2db, +3db) and 1 high gain switch (+4db all freq).
Probably the best looking kz ever. both graph and look wise
There is also a new TRN MT1 MAX with 3 tuning switches
Hey Ian! Great video. I've been curious about these. Yaoyaotiger I think wants to send me a pair so I'm curious to check them out.
I decided to buy D-Fi after watching your video. Thanks for the review ❤
Nice review, gonna check your squiglink for More details on the FR.. 👍👍👍

Parece interesante este nuevo KZ, buen video gracias!
how does it compare to the detail and technical performance of 7hz zero?

Hey bro do u suggest the kz zvx for watching lots of movies and listen to all types of songs and i need a theatrical effect so do u prefer zvx ??
@@vigneshrajan9658 it’s indeed quite airy but it’s important to swap the cable to a better one.
I missed your voice... One week no Ian Fann reviews. 😢
Which do you like most or is the best, this or KZ as24? I like a dynamic and detailed iem with good resolution.
Well explained Ian.

I guess the 4th switch is kind of like a built in ifi IEMatch adapter? I wish there are more IEMs like that
Right? This alone makes them worth it. Ifi charges more for their adapter that does only that.

dang very nice price and good graph. i wish they also incorporate a tunable nozzle to make it more tunable lolz.
How do you compare this with the Moondrop SSP? Should I get this over since it's $7 cheaper?
How does standard version competes with zvx?
For gaming?
compare it with zvx?

Smoothest kz tuning ever?
Hmmm… I interested with the non switch version.
I wonder what it actually tunes considering this IEM being a single DD?
It’s electronic resistance based since it’s a chip capacitor tuned
nice turquoise watch my guy. I used to hate kz. Might give them a second chance with their recent releases 👍
Finally a neutral iem from kz? 😳
I have tangzu wan er. Is this an upgrade to that?
Yes me too
@@Nexza.04 Some say it will be an upgrade. But i guess I'll go for hybrid next for better separation. Surprised not a lot of review for this iem.

Hope you enjoy it!
How is your experience with it?
Still waiting on Linsoul to ship - they're out of stock 😞
@@taipan75 Damn by the time they will ship , kz will release 2 more iems XD
🤣 This is so true 🤣
This compared to linglong?
lingling?
@@ianfann why point out a typo? You clearly know he's asking about kz linglong
@@NewDarkKnightthanks mate 🤝 exactly I meant linglong
More detailed and less bassy by default with the option to sound more bassy if needed
@@NewDarkKnight lingling is a twoset violin meme

Kz = Dishonesty.
I will not forget or forgive.
your background music is too loud
An actual screw and not some brass accent.
My first ever KZ, can't wait to receive mine!
Honestly no clue, why people got horny about switches, everytime i tried iem with switches and nozzle adjustment, i got hard disapointed...
