Youtube Video Summary

The KZ ZS12 Pro 2 comes across as a well-put-together hybrid set with solid build quality and comfort. The shell feels durable, has a flat back that isolates well, and the metal nozzle paired with the KZ QDC-style connector gives it a more distinctive look, even if it limits easy cable rolling. Stock cable and tips are serviceable but unremarkable, and the option of a ~$30 upgrade cable makes sense here for those wanting a more complete package.

Sonically, this is a strongly V-shaped IEM with a lot of bass and a significant amount of upper-mid and treble energy, pushing it firmly into the more energetic and bright category. There is good clarity and detail, and the set can sound open, exciting, and engaging, with vocals coming through clean and forward on the right tracks. At the same time, the rising 3–6 kHz region and elevated upper treble can make some material come across as sharp or fatiguing, with drums and high-frequency hits occasionally turning fizzly or sizzly, especially on already bright or bass-heavy mixes.

In terms of positioning, the ZS12 Pro 2 offers a unique tonality that will appeal most to treble heads and listeners bored of safer, flatter tunings. Compared with alternatives like KZ’s own Zenith or Dwanic, or sets like Softears Volume and various NF Audio models, this KZ feels more “on the edge” – fun and dynamic, but not as rounded or relaxed. At around $45–$60, it’s a compelling option for those who actively want extra upper energy and a sharp V-profile, while more sensitive listeners or those preferring a smoother balance may be better served by flatter, less aggressive competitors or by applying EQ to tame the top end.

The SIMGOT EW100P is an entry-level single dynamic driver IEM using a 10 mm dual-LCP diaphragm and transparent resin shells with aluminium faceplates, positioned in the roughly $20–25 price bracket. Build quality and ergonomics are generally described as solid for the price, with a lightweight shell, decent passive isolation and a simple silver-plated cable that is functional if not luxurious. Overall, the physical package is basic but coherent, matching expectations for a budget IEM while avoiding obvious flaws in comfort or construction.

Sonically, the EW100P follows a Harman IE2016-inspired, broadly U-shaped / neutral-bright tuning with a modest bass shelf and elevated upper mids, aiming for a clean and safe tonality rather than a bass-heavy signature. Bass is controlled and reasonably deep but not particularly authoritative, which suits listeners who prefer clean low end over impact, while the midrange is slightly forward with natural timbre that works well for vocals and acoustic instruments. Treble is tuned on the safer side with limited extension and sparkle, reducing fatigue but also limiting perceived air and micro-detail.

Technical performance is respectable for this price class: resolution and original sound fidelity are highlighted positively, but the soundstage is only average in size and layering can blur with complex material. Imaging and instrument separation are decent at normal listening levels but fall short of more expensive sets, and several reviewers note that while the EW100P competes well among sub-$30 IEMs, it does not significantly outperform the crowded budget field. Considering its low price, the EW100P offers a competent, neutral-leaning tuning and solid technicalities, but within a realistic value-for-money framework it remains a strong budget option rather than a giant-killer.
