KZ Saga Balanced reviewed by Audio Amigo

Audio Amigo 6 * score rescaled + normalized
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
