Literally OG 7hz Zero with a better driver, better clarity and resolution. Clean balanced sound. Vocal/mid focused. Treble can get peaky at times. Overall solid value.

Essentially a slightly upgraded 7Hz Zero. Slightly better driver, more comforable shells, better cable, comes with a carry pouch. Good Value

Great bass elevation with some bleed into the midrange. Treble has some zing around the 8k and 10k area to compensate for the warmth. Solid warm pick, great cable.

EPZ Q1 PRO Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

A-
  • It balances warmth and clarity well, showing only minor quirks along the way. Timbre feels believable with most instruments.

Average Technical Grade

B
  • An honest, middle-of-the-road performance preserves structure without chasing micro-detail. It's respectable for everyday listening sessions.
Gaming B
Decent spatial awareness for fundamental positioning. Creates satisfying atmosphere in story-driven games while handling basic directional cues.

BLON x HBB Z300 Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C+
  • Expect a friendly tonal balance that could use polish but remains inviting. Great for casual listening, less so for purists.

Average Technical Grade

C-
  • Details smear quickly, leaving the presentation cramped and low on definition. You'll notice smearing on even moderately layered songs.
Bass C-
Bass stays subdued, content to hover in the background. It keeps things tidy, yet unremarkable.
Mids C-
It delivers a workable midrange that could benefit from smoother transitions. Timbre isn't quite convincing yet.
Treble D
Treble balance wavers, creating a mix of recessed detail and harsh flashes. Highs feel restless and unfocused.
Details D
It can follow the main lines but loses composure once arrangements become busy. Fine articulation is frequently glossed over.
Imaging D
Modest imaging with basic left/right positioning that never quite nails the center image. Left/right cues exist but are rough.
Gaming C-
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.
