It is not super special, unless you are looking for standout stereo imaging.

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

A-
  • The tonal character feels settled and versatile, with just a few gentle bumps. You can listen for hours without fatigue.

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 ZAS Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

D-
  • Expect a discordant presentation where frequency clashes ruin any chance of relaxed listening. It struggles to render a cohesive musical picture.

Average Technical Grade

D
  • Details smear quickly, leaving the presentation cramped and low on definition. You'll notice smearing on even moderately layered songs.
Bass D
Bass remains light-handed, hinting at rumble without delivering real weight. It keeps out of the way but never excites.
Mids D
The region feels unstable, alternating between honky resonance and missing information. You'll hear odd resonances across the mids.
Treble E+
Expect a dark-tilted treble that keeps excitement in check. Sibilants are dull, but so is everything else.
Dynamics D
Dynamics sound noticeably compressed, muting contrast between quiet and loud. Transients feel blunted and slow.
Details D
Modest detail presentation that sacrifices texture and masks subtle nuances. It conveys the basics but not the nuance.
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.
