Youtube Video Summary
KZ Duet pairs a 10 mm driver with an 8 mm unit in an earbud form factor, plus an in-ear sleeve that improves seal and isolation. The result is a dual feast of music and gaming: fuller low end from the big driver and Libra X-style clarity up top. It scales with a better source, while the cheap DSP dongle adds usable presets, making the package practical and comfortable.
Bass is tight and fast rather than rumbly, trading sub-bass slam for cleanliness that helps imaging. The mids carry some warmth to ~300 Hz and then tilt toward a sharper, BA-like clarity that favors voices and positional cues. Treble is boosted for energy but kept non-peaky, yielding a fun V-lean that suits EDM and shooters alike. Stage projects big, with crisp edges and stable placement; overall balance feels more polished than recent KZ gaming-centric releases.
