I think this is massivly overhyped, but it's not terrible and a great value with impedance adapters

Weird upper trebble is killing it for me, but it might be good for you.

IMHO no one really needs anything more than this. Impecable tuning. Techs are competitive with anything under $100. Only true knock I have against this is that the nozzle is pretty bad - long and thick, which may be a problem for some. It certainly makes putting eartips on them very difficult.

Great balanced, smooth tuning. Needs more bass for my taste, can be a bit soft at times.

Best KZ Planar IEM. Warm, bassy sound, lacking a little in dynamics. Foam tips come worn down in the package. Shrill tonality in higher treble for some listeners

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

B
  • The tuning leans easygoing, yet occasional unevenness nudges it away from greatness. A bit of EQ polish can smooth things nicely.

Average Technical Grade

C+
  • The presentation is steady if unspectacular, holding onto essential details when the music stays simple. Fine details occasionally slip through the cracks.
Bass B
You get a lively bass response that balances energy with discipline. It balances punch with respectable control.
Mids B-
Expect a competent midrange that keeps vocals grounded and instruments clear. Tone is acceptable across multiple genres.
Treble B-
Highs come through with reasonable clarity while staying mostly smooth. Sibilance is mostly controlled.
Dynamics C+
You get reliable macrodynamics, with micro shifts that remain only adequate. A reliable performer for most tracks.
Soundstage B-
Stage expands beyond the shoulders and finally hints at layers, though vertical cues stay muted. Depth cues begin to emerge.
Details C
You get the outline of textures, though the finer brushstrokes remain faint. Background information is audible but soft.
Imaging C
Center information lands in the right area but not with laser focus. Separation is adequate for casual listening.
Gaming B-
Moderate spatial presentation conveys general directionality. Suitable for casual play where precision isn't critical.

KZ PRX Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

D+
  • Expect a patchy tonal profile that makes instrumentation feel mismatched. EQ is almost mandatory to tame the response.

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.
Mids C+
Midrange performance is decent, offering balanced presence without major flaws. It works well for casual background listening.
Treble E-
The top end feels muffled, with air and shimmer barely audible. Ambient reverb tails are chopped short.
Dynamics E+
Subtle shifts disappear, with transients lacking bite or urgency. Drum hits arrive without conviction.
Soundstage C+
You start to perceive distinct rows of players even if the ceiling still feels low. Layering is present but still modest.
Gaming E
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.
