Very warm. Mid-bass enphasys that bleed into mids. Treble is well done and on the darker side. Doesn't feel technical. EQ helps.

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

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

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

Average Technical Grade

E-
  • A foggy, one-dimensional presentation wipes out layering and obscures the finer points of a mix. Spatial cues barely register at all.
Bass E-
The response is anaemic, with bass lines fading into the background. There's minimal vibration or physicality.
Mids E-
Midrange sits extremely recessed, burying vocals under a muddy veil. Lead vocals hide far behind the mix.
Treble E-
The top end feels muffled, with air and shimmer barely audible. Ambient reverb tails are chopped short.
Details E-
Extremely poor resolution causes fine details to vanish, leaving only a vague impression of the music's structure. Everything sounds blurred and undefined.
Imaging E-
The image struggles to differentiate directions, so instruments smear together. Spatial clarity is almost nonexistent.
Gaming E-
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.

Average Technical Grade

A-
  • It manages detail and layering well enough, even if the stage feels only moderately sized. You get a clear sense of left and right, if not depth.
Gaming A-
Good fundamental spatial awareness for most gaming scenarios. Handles basic positioning well but may lack nuance in complex situations.
