Hi, @headphone_zone If you guys, reply, that will greatly help me. See, I don't understand what it means to be an audiophile. I am a trained vocalist. For my passion, I know music very well, and I like to listen to every genre of music, from classical to modern and rocking. I have a budget of Rs 2K and am confused as to which one will be best for me. I just want my go-to earphone (IEM), with which I will enjoy every song in terms of day-to-day use, not for stage performances. I shortlisted : 1. KZ - ZEX 2. KZ - ZSN PRO 2 3. 7HZ - SALNOTES ZERO 4. MOONDROP - CHU II 5. KZ - CASTOR 6. 7HZ X CRINACLE - ZERO: 2 7. KZ - ZEX PRO 8. BLON - BL-03 9. Suggest me one but after going through several reviews, I am confused. I like to hear classical to bass-heavy songs with clarity, vocals, good instrument separation, and sometimes the thump of bass for disco-friendly songs. Please help me by suggesting your experienced views.
I've been using KZ Castor for the past 3 months. This is my first IEM. Previously I have used Oppo Enco Buds 2 which give the best music under 2K on TWS, before that I have used JBL C150SI, Boat Bassheads 900, Sony ZX110A, Boat Rocekerz 450. To comparing my previous experience on these headphones, KZ Castor is the best ever on my experience, I can say this as a beginner Audiophile. Usually I use headphones most of the time everyday, to play podcast for hours, to listen Western Classical, Jazz Classics, Modern Hip-hop, Pop, Rock, Tamil Retro and 90's music, KZ Castor is giving me the best experience in all aspects.
Same earphones i do have....after too many analysis i got oppo enco 2 after jbl C150si. But i'm feeling a pain after continuous hearing in oppo enco 2. Are you facing any issues in your iem ??
@@headphone_zone wich one do you prefer for Comp Gaming and listening to music and watching movies the Blessing 3 VS Orchestra Lite VS Arate VS Supermix 4 ??
Hi! I enjoy listening to a lot of Indian classical fusion and indie songs. I prefer more defined vocals with background beats popping in between but I don't like more bass with fuzzy noise. Could you kindly suggest anyone for me from the above 🙏🏽@@RaghavSomani-HeadphoneZone
Hey i recently ordered the KZ ZSN Pro X , can't wait to check it out. Apart from it i would like to appreciate how nicely the webpage is designed with almost every detail a customer needs. Also the customer query service is so damn GOOD. Surely i will buy a lot from you guys in the future ❤.
I bought kz castor and I love them. They are perfect for Indian audience as they have switches which DO make a difference in sound signature. Also they are not like my other IEMs which have high affinity towards highs and treble without wavelet/AutoEQ. You should push these in your offline stores.
I bought the KZ-ZEX from headphone zone, its been almost 6 months now. No complaints on sound quality its just phenomenal i love the sound staging the clarity. But I am now having a major issue, the headphone jack has gotten a little worn out and if i touch the back of the 3.5 mm jack or the wire moves, sometimes it creates hissing sounds and the audio also cuts. The wires are in a very good quality but the jack creates distorted sounds if moved, and I really did not expect it to get worn out so early considering its price.
You could get a replacement cable for the iem, i myself own a KZ ZSN Pro and the cable broke after like an year. I got a replacement cable for like 700rs.
Tbh, kz zex isn't durable, one of my earpiece stopped working, then I bought wan'er and thought to use my kz zex cable, after few days the cable again got damaged,when one of my earpiece stopped working it was in warranty but I was asked to courier paying the courier charge myself,I thought it would be waste of money to semd faulty earphone and get it fixed. Please mention that zex isn't durable @@headphone_zone
Last year, I upgraded from the Moondrop Chu to the Letshuoer S12 and the iFi Audio GO DAC and amp from you guys. The planar magnetic drivers deliver incredibly clear sound with sharp bass and no drop-off lag. This setup is the best-sounding earphones I've had so far.
I own 7hz zero, Simgot ew100p, Truthear gate, Final E1000, Kz castor silver and tangzu waner green. Each one presents their own different sound signatures and I absolutely love Gate and shark. Both are very similar to each other. Some difference are there like gate provides little bit more soundstage.
Hey dude, just saying. you guys are a youtube channel which cares about the audio quality of products, would be great if the sound quality of the videos that you guys make be great too. i guess your editor just cranked up the denoise effect in premiere pro.
Great video as always, but one issue I've found is that the audio has just too much high pitch sounds or treble when listening on headphone/earphone. Maybe you could fix that while editing. No issues when playing on speaker but it's definitely jarring with the 's' sounds when listening on earphones.
Can you suggest IEM for my preferences? I’m a beginner to IEM. I want a balanced signature. No heavy bass or treble. I like to hear broad stage with clear vocals. AR Rahman, Ilayaraja , movie songs mostly., Confused to select 1 among these - Moon drop chu 2, tangzu wnr sg , KZ zex, fiio jd1
Hey i purchased moon drop chu2 dsp from your website it's the best sounding thing l have ever had ❤ thank you for making it possible at such a low price❤
Final VR500 user here . I ordered 7 hz zero and used it and then exchanged it for final vr 500 . its best in gaming on pc and mobile ( feels like wall hack ) . I play pubg pc bgmi valo and apex . for music its great too . if you listen Agar Tum Saath Ho by Arijit Singh ( high quality ) you will feel like Arijit Singh tumhare saath hai :D . 7hz zero was ok for music but not good for gaming . Final VR500 is great for long time listening which 7hz lacks . one more thing - team headphone zone is great . customer care is actually caring . they exchanged my iem without any trouble and within 5days which even flipkart fails to do
Thank you so much for your honest review! Your kind words just made our day! It’s an absolute delight to know that you loved the Final VR500, we hope you had a comfortable shopping experience and we can't wait to serve you again soon!
I bought VR500, and i really love that I can feel each instrument being played, I can differentiate between the instruments and I listen to lot of ambient music, it was nice investment.
@@keshavmishra07 hi, sound quality is very good. Bass is ok, not overpowering treble. Mic quality is also good considering its an IEM. Recommended buy. Just be careful with the cable.
Hey Raghav! I want an IEM for 3000 or under which I want to use mainly for listening to music or playing games what for you to recommend? Highest in the room-travis scott , stereo love by edward maya, feet it from d4vd, fainted by narvent, distant echoes by VØJ and memory reboot by VØJ and interlinked by Lonely Lies, Bon appétit are my tastes in music
We have our own unique way of presenting things! If you watch closely, you’ll see we do slip in the pros and cons - we just like to keep things upbeat and positive.
can wholeheartedly recommend the Chu 2s, i myself have been using them for the past couple months for both casual listening purposes as well as some audio mixing work. they have a really deep (not loud) and clear low end and amazingly crisp highs, going from (pretty good) gaming headphones to these was like going from 720p30hz to 1080p60hz. the soundstage is just amazing and these are by far one of the best things i've purchased this year.
@@headphone_zone thank y'all for being such a great platform for audiophiles here in india and for pushing the culture forward so much. india has a lot of shitty audio device dominance and we desperately need to show the people how good their audio experience can be, very greatful for all the work y'all are doing♥
Absolutely top of the class video. Great craftsmanship as usual. I'm interested in buying between HZxTangzu vs HZxFIIOJD1 vs KZ ZSN Pro 2. Which one should I buy under Rs 2000 bucket? Interests - Bollywood, AR Rahman, Shreya Ghoshal, RU-vid etc. Thanks in Advance!
Just found your channel and I’m really impressed and intrigued by your content. Would you consider making a video guiding us about Home Theatre systems as well at least once or twice a year, would be much appreciated as there is almost no channel in India addressing the segment,your thoughts would be much appreciated.
@@headphone_zone got it delivered and was bang on but a tragedy occurred today.....I got one of it a bit wet due to rain today, the sound has decreased for the right plug. Would you guys know any hacks that can save my newly bought IEM's...plas
Hi, I prioritize bass, clarity, and detail in my music. Which IEMs should I consider under 2000? Additionally, should I pair them with a DAC such as the FiiO X Jade Audio KA11 or the iFi Audio GO LINK, given that I use an iOS device with a Lightning port?
@@Gadgetiblesyes i also bought kz castor from headphonezone and the bass is really good and details in the instrumental is also good overall its a value for money iem ✨❤️
Hello Team, you guys are doing an amazing job. I want to buy a good pair under 2k, can you recommend which one shall i buy among these 4 below. - Headphone Zone X Tangzu Wan'er S.G - KZ - ZSN PRO 2 - KZ - Castor - KZ - ZEX
i have the KZ EDAs and I like the balanced version, I am thinking to go with the 7Hz salnotes zero 2 or the JD FIIO, which one would be a better choice for me?
Raghavir sir can you please suggest me which iem is the best from zsn pro x or zsn pro 2 Eagerly waiting to order from headphone zone and eagerly waiting for your reply Thank you Appreciate your detailed explanation as well 😊
Our recommendation would be the KZ ZSN Pro 2. It retains the same sound that many audiophiles love but with further refinement. Keep the music playing and thanks for your support! 😊
Hi I am big fan of headphone zone and all the products purchased through you are phenomenal so far. Just one suggestion. Please change your mic. I feel after lot of noise suppression in post processing,( during editing) the audio quality not up to mark. And since you are promoting high quality IEMs, we can expect this much 😊.
Bro they don't manufacture any audio products they sell on websites. They are just distributors and marketers of various foreign audio brands . Mainly all are manufactured in China and korea and usa . Thats it. Hope u get it .
I'm looking for my first iem can you suggest something under 2000 i'm looking for instrument sentitive and bass........... is moondrop chu 2 good or KZ zsn pro x?????🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
can you suggest something like the og apple wired type earphones...they were phenomenal...coz the newr buds with silicone tips hurt my ears for some reason...also i dont think that would be good for ear health in long term...great video btw
Thanks for the compliment! 😊 Unfortunately, we don't have any IEMs that match the exact design of the original Apple wired earphones. However, if you're looking for something more comfortable, you might want to explore some open-back or semi-open designs. They can be gentler on the ears and offer a different listening experience. If you need any recommendations, just let us know! 🎧
At this moment, we’ve levelled up our mic game and banished background noise to the void! 🎤🔊 Tune in closely, and you'll definitely notice the crisp upgrade. Let us know what you think!
I like listening to melody songs,slow songs and sometimes listen songs with base . And I love details very much . please suggest me a iem under 2000 for my taste and please note that it should have good build quality also please please
The Tangzu Wan'er IEMs are mid-sized, so they might not be the best fit for people with smaller ears. As for your second question, we can't confirm the availability of the limited edition Tangzu Wan'er IEMs till December. Good luck with your savings, and keep the music playing! 🎧
Hey bro, which iem under 2.5k would be best for music? I'm more of a neutral sound guy so I don't like having too little or too much bass etc. can you suggest iem with this in mind?
KZ castor is the godzilla of bass you will notice it in the first try but 0011 switch works best for everyone. It is good for gaming as well ( PUBG/BGMI) This IEM have best of both worlds you can tune it for clear mids and when you are in that bass head party mood you can switch to 1111 or 1110 By default these IEMs has a lot of bass which i did not like at first time trying after little bit of tuning these are the most fun/ enjoyable set of IEMs For Gaming ( PUBG/ BGMI ) requires 0011 switch configuration and mobile inbuilt Equalizer settings tuned/boosted( mids) for clear footsteps and directional Audio and better imaging Out of the box these are not perfect for gaming but with tuning it is so good and can even be considered for competitive gaming For music ❤
@@headphone_zone Thanks for responding... I am a beginner. Inspired with IEM from ur videos and it's comments by users. It will be my first IEM to me. I just want the best detailed sound effect overall. Which one is best for me with a mic (to handle calls as well) from below lists. Pls suggest. U can suggest a one which not in my list. Price range will be between 1k - 3k. Any audiophiles can help me on suggestion. [ ] 7HZ Salnotes Zero [ ] Moondrop chu II [ ] JIIO JD 1 [ ] KZ Castor [ ] Tangzu Waner SG [ ] SIMGOT EW100
Hi! I listen to probably every genre of music. Music is my utmost preference. I listen to progessive rock and so on. I listen to acoustic too. I love bass too. Please suggest one just for Music.
@@heavensonson if you are talking about bass quality...not quantity..then go for 7hz salnotes zero..it has has much clearer sound..i got to test both the 7hz zero & tangzu wan'er for extensive period.. I would choose the 7hz zero anyday...also you can play games with it... speration is much better than tangzu.. only one place the tangzu might shine is probably male vocals, fuller and smooth... specially vocals like Arijit Singh...
3.5mm(7hz salnotes zero 1) + dac(headphone zone dac) which works fine for me, they did say that their dac is powerful enough that we won't have any issues if we decided to upgrade our earphones/headphones but I haven't tested that as I'm stuck with my previous earphone, although I can say that the DAC does improve the audio quality, feels like there's an improvement in resolution and clarity. That's my opinion.
@@headphone_zone Already ordered the Moondrop - Chu II and Headphone Zone X ddHiFi - Hi-Res. It's on the way. Can't wait to try it. I already subscribed the Apple Music also.
The mic on most of the IEMs/ Headphones are pretty standard. Having said that, you should check out the Final - E1000- with Mic as the mic on this is slightly better. Here's the link: www.headphonezone.in/products/final-e1000
Hi Headphone Zone, I am a very loyal customer and am now looking for my third earphone from your website. I currently have a OnePlus 11R, which does not come with a 3.5mm audio jack. Could you please suggest an earphone under ₹2000?
Hello, I wanted to get a recommendation for an earphone that is best for two purposes, editing and music (with editing more priortized) and since you're one of the best on this platform I wanted to ask you about a good earphone in this budget range of ₹2000. Please reply
Hi, i wanted to buy Tangzu Waner S.G(Jade Green), but they aren't available from past few days. Can you give any update for there availability? Nice video
Been using 7hz salnotes a while now and I have to say its really warm and sweet sounding, only problem I had was with the mic, its just bad bad. The tuning is just gorgeous.
Hi guys, What differnce it makes in audio jack vs USB C? Jack will be dedicated, but in newer phones we dont have that luxury. And most IEM still stick with the jack. Pls explain.
The key difference between an audio jack and USB-C lies in how the audio signal is processed. With a 3.5mm jack, the phone's internal DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) or an external DAC usually handles the audio, often delivering superior sound quality, especially with a high-end DAC. USB-C, however, typically relies on Digital Signal Processing (DSP), which can vary in quality depending on the implementation. Although newer phones have moved away from the 3.5mm jack, many IEMs still favour it for its direct, high-quality audio connection. If sound quality is a priority, using a dedicated DAC with IEMs can significantly enhance the listening experience.
Unboxed products are as good as brand new products just without the original packaging. In simple terms, unboxed products are simply unsealed products. They are barely used, come with all accessories (unless mentioned otherwise) and full manufacturer's warranty.
Hey Raghav, Great videos mate. I'm totally new to the IEM community, and would really appreciate if you could suggest a good pair for a beginner. My use cases are, listening to rock and pop, movies and video games. Budgest is max 6k inr. Appreciate your suggestion.
Currently in a fix as in which of these would be better for Rock/Metal/Instrumental genres. 7HZ - Salnotes Zero or Tangzu - Wan'er S.G? Any suggestions. Budget : 2k
If you'd prefer listening to these genres on a flat sounding IEM, you should go for the 7HZ - Salnotes Zero and in case you'd prefer listening over balanced sounding IEMs, then you should check out the Headphone Zone X Tangzu - Wan'er S.G.
If im looking for best mic quality with very less outside noise and mainly suitable for office meeting calls which is best model , out of u suggested these IEMs , my office colleagues also looking to buy 😊
The mic on most of the IEMs/ Headphones are pretty standard. Having said that, you should check out the Final - E1000- with Mic as the mic on this is slightly better. Here's the link: www.headphonezone.in/products/final-e1000
Thank you bro... Plz suggest me one which is good for both calls and music. I am music lover... Love listening melody, classic/carnatic music, slow music
Last year i purchased the KZ ZVX from headphonezone and using Equalizer AP , i have to say it is one of my favorites till now and it sounds so balanced yet fun to listen to and good for some gaming too. I just wished for sale in headphone DAC to complete the setup ❤
Sounds like you've got a sweet setup going. It's awesome that you're enjoying the IEMs. We hear you on the DAC wish-may your audio dreams come true soon. Keep the music playing!
I bought the KZ Castor after watching this video. 5 mins of using it and I'm convinced it was worth every rupee. I have used plenty of BT earpods and wired earphones but man, this is something else! I also loved the music recommendations you sent with the package. Makes me glad I placed the order with you guys. Please make a video on best DACs as well.
@@kratos18By undertune, I'm guessing you want to reduce the bass. The default setting with all switches off is pretty good. Also, the bass from Castor is very clean and not like a "thump" like you hear in cheaper earphones.
Hi Raghav, I loved the video. I've never used an IEM before. I prefer listening to metal, rock, and punk rock. Please suggest an IEM for these specific genres of music. Thanks!
The Medusa was aptly named 😂. Just thought I’d share a rumor I saw on the interwebs lol - Simgot is very close to debuting the EW 300. It’s supposed to be a 3 driver set up. I don’t know how accurate this rumor is but I thought you might be interested! Great review by the way! PS I saw that Lake Placid sticker on your desk and immediately thought - oh he survived the giant alligator 🐊 😂!
I hear mostly melody, classical music and some times rock music and watch movie. I choose the some iems like cca pla13, kz pr3, kz zs10 pro x, kiwi ears cadenza which iem i am go to pls suggest me one iem.❤
I loved the video guys! ❤ I'm looking to get my first IEM and would appreciate suggestions for upgrading from my Sony MDR-XB55AP, which I love. I prefer something similar in sound quality. I'm seeking an option that's excellent for Tamil and Malayalam songs. I also love Kanye's music. Any recommendations?
@@punitcool1in for casual music or everyday i use simgot ew200 but when i listen to hip hop or phonk music i usse kz castor bass version . i dont have a dac of mine but i use my friends its SHANLING - UA1 PLUS. the dac improve sound quality . but know about the dac chip inside your dac . any dac under 2k doesnt make any significant difference invest in a good dac .
@@punitcool1in for every day listining i use simgot ew200. when i listen to hip hop and phonk music i use kz castor . i do use a dac but its not mine as i dont have enough money to buy a dac i am saving up for it but i use one which i borrowed from a friend its SHANLING - UA1 PLUS. a dac increases and improves sound quality makes the music more crispy . any dac under 2k does not make any significant difference . invest in a good dac . i like the ew 200 more because rather than hip hop or phonk the kz castor makes vocal music bass heavy making me not enjoy the vocals so i prefer ew200. but if your bujet is low go for kz castor bass its a gem .(sorry for any spelling mistakes) 😃
Which is better for casual listening to vocals and produce the sound the way it is. Also I watch movies and anime in mobile. Please suggest good iem which is easily driven by mobile. Budget is 2k up to 4k.
i come to know about IEMs today only, my mains questions is , is it safe to use them for long term(study purpose)? and which one should i go for KZ ZSN PRO 2 or KZ CASTOR. I need it for study, listening music and talking . Please recommend me accordingly
To answer your query, if you use IEMs at an optimum volume level over a reasonable period of time, there shouldn't be an issue. Also, could you please share your music preferences with us so we can suggest you something more appropriate?
Which one should i go for from this list i have a hard time choosing I mostly listen to more pop, metal, rock but also a bit of classical and jazz sometimes too so which one should I go for?
