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

KZ Zex Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

D
  • It struggles with balance, producing a lumpy response that rarely sounds coherent. Genre hopping highlights glaring inconsistencies.

Average Technical Grade

C-
  • Resolution is limited, masking finer nuances and narrowing the soundstage. Busy mixes still overwhelm it with ease.
Bass D
Bass remains light-handed, hinting at rumble without delivering real weight. It keeps out of the way but never excites.
Mids D
Expect a rollercoaster midrange where coloration constantly distracts. Complex vocals turn metallic and unnatural.
Treble D
Treble balance wavers, creating a mix of recessed detail and harsh flashes. Highs feel restless and unfocused.
Dynamics D
Expect a limited dynamic swing that keeps musical climaxes from hitting hard. Volume gradations feel artificially restrained.
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.

Gaming A-
Good fundamental spatial awareness for most gaming scenarios. Handles basic positioning well but may lack nuance in complex situations.
