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

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.

Better than the OG version for my lib. Less slam and air due to tuning, but better treble and sub-bass. Techs are marginally the same.

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.

KZ x HBB: DQ6s Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

D-
  • Balance is severely off, producing a harsh, unpleasant listen regardless of genre. Long sessions quickly become exhausting.

Average Technical Grade

D-
  • Hopelessly smeared and congested, it struggles with basic instrument separation and loses detail even in simple tracks. Even casual listening quickly becomes tiring.
Bass D
It hints at bass presence but never quite delivers satisfying punch. Percussion lacks a satisfying weight.
Mids E+
Midrange sounds thin and brittle, robbing vocals of weight. Voices lack weight and emotion.
Treble D
Highs feel erratic, with dips and spikes that make the signature unpredictable. It alternates between splashy and dull.
Details D
Textural clues dull down, robbing strings and vocals of their natural grit. You hear outlines rather than textures.
Imaging D
Modest imaging with basic left/right positioning that never quite nails the center image. Left/right cues exist but are rough.
Gaming D-
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.
