Deep, warm, bassy sound with suprisingly energetic treble. Fun Set. Build quality is a little sub-par at this price point.

KZs more mature next gen V-shaped tuning in a great all-metal shell. Fun all-rounder type of sound. Super premium feeling shells let down by KZs typical awful stock cable and woeful acessories package. Try to get it for less than $18

7Hz x HBB Elua Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C+
  • The tuning leans easygoing, yet occasional unevenness nudges it away from greatness. A bit of EQ polish can smooth things nicely.

Average Technical Grade

C-
  • Textural information blurs together, making the stage feel pinched and gray. Instrument edges blur together frequently.
Bass C-
Expect a conservative bass profile that maintains order but little excitement. Basslines track along but rarely stand out.
Mids C-
It delivers a workable midrange that could benefit from smoother transitions. Timbre isn't quite convincing yet.
Treble D
Treble response is uneven, jumping between dull spots and sharp peaks. Peaks poke out unpredictably.
Dynamics C-
Dynamics are average—competent yet lacking real excitement. It keeps music listenable but uninspiring.
Soundstage C+
It pushes sound outward confidently while leaving height development as an unfinished idea. Height remains subtle but detectable.
Details C
The presentation is fine for casual listening but leaves refinement on the table. There's some grain on quieter elements.
Imaging C
Depth hints are present though they rarely extend far beyond the stage front. Movement effects are understandable.
Gaming C
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.

A+
  • The tonal balance is polished and expressive, highlighting emotion without sacrificing accuracy. It keeps emotional weight without sacrificing accuracy.

Average Technical Grade

A-
  • It manages detail and layering well enough, even if the stage feels only moderately sized. You get a clear sense of left and right, if not depth.
Gaming A-
Good fundamental spatial awareness for most gaming scenarios. Handles basic positioning well but may lack nuance in complex situations.
