I am using them for a few days now, bought them for an early bird price of 35$, and coming from zs10pro x to these ones, pro 2 just sounds better. I love the ability to tune the bass with the switches, because pro x had a tad bit too much bass for my liking. On pro 2 I use UUDD switch combo, and I really like the sound. One thing I am a bit disappointed about is the function of the 4th switch, they advertise that it should bring the treble a bit down, but every review has proven that it does nothing, and I also can't seem to hear any difference. Shame, because it would be nice to have tunable treble also... Maybe the first batch has a fault for the switch, but for the price I have paid for them, can't complain.
This is a really surprising set, especially with IEMs getting pretty stale these days with the tunings. I like how this one can get from a clsssit KZ V shaped sound to an outright L shaped just by meddling with the switches
Sounds like an optimized setup will be Final Audio Type-E tips (which tend to smoothen the highs a bit) and the switches to UUDD... and we have a nice budget winner right there.
The problem with these is the earphone prongs are not secured well. If they come to lose they slide into the earphones and I hope you have the specialty screwdriver for them to pull them out enough to hook them back up.
hey Vortex, I've been enjoying your graph measurements on squig and appreciate the breadth of your collection. I wonder why your graphs tend to look smoother than some others? Are there different settings in measurement testing that can affect the detail/resolution of the graph?
Cheers and it varies on peoples setups. I use my Topping combo which has a super low output impedance for the best accuracy plus I use the coupler with the recommended sound card as well.
Pro 2 has better imaging, better soundstage, I hear some details I haven't heard on pro x. Tunable bass is a great option in my opinion, and it works really nicely.
I can't stand foam tips - so glad you agree. I first tested the ZS10's but they were really brash in the high end. After losing one in Heathrow Airport I bought some ZS10 Pro X in Atlanta and still use them today. Really nice IEM's. I'm not too sure on the adjustable switches but will compare your graph with the ZS10 Pro X right now. If they both peak around the same I will keep what I have. Yeah the difference is negligible so you are right about keeping the switches up. Apparently the last switch (fourth) reduces the high frequencies somewhat, but not that much going by your graph. I would love to upgrade but I will stick with mine for now. That said I'm a nerd and will probably buy the 2's this evening after a few beers 🤣
@@VortexReviews1 the new balanced armature has already infiltrated my thoughts and I am weak 😁. I love the ZS10 Pro X but will consider the 2's over the next few days. Also for reference, I create new melodies and produce hip hop instrumental music near on daily. My IEM's for both creating and mixing are the KZ EDX Pro X that cost approximately 5€ 🤯 They aren't as bright as the ZS10 range so you might like them for video editing. I mated the EDX Pro X's with the AZ20 ear hooks for a bluetooth setup with zero perceptible latency 👀 The work great 💪🩵
Im getting my first iem, shortlisted selnotes zero, castor bass, zs10 pro2. I liked the clean and wide kind of sound from 7hz selnotes zero from a video that i heard. Would kz castor or the zs10 pro 2 give me all that + more bass. Or should i get selnotes or any thing else wud u like to suggest? Thanks
KZ seem to have turned a corner with hydro and pro 2, i just hope they continue to improve, i would buy the pro 2 and hydro even though i swore i would never but from them again
1. Things I am scared of KZ iem is connector two pin easily broken on my first ZS 10 pro. How about this Pro 2? 2. Is it good at imaging, soundtage & separation?
I have never had any issues with the KZ connectors. Imaging, stage and separation should have been mentioned in the video but these are a bright sounding pair.
Got them today. A few hours of listening so far. Upper mids and treble sound thin, especially treble. No real sibilance, just kinda metallic thin treble. Tips with narrow bore help to lower that treble a little. Stage, instrument separation and layering, probably best I heard from KZ
Hey there! I wanted to ask if these are some of the better IEMs at around it's price range for all around vocals? (Male and female.) I'm looking for the "best" IEM around this price point for clear and accurate vocals with QDC connectors to pair with Bluetooth adapters. Thanks!
I just returned these to Amazon. Not sure if I got a dud set but these were lifeless and low output. I also found the tuning switches to have no affect on the sound at all. Night and day compared to my Audio Technica ATH E40s. Wanted to love these but ended up very underwhelmed.
@@VortexReviews1 I just received an even cheaper set (Linsoul 7Hz x Crinacle Zero:2) and they are leaps and bounds better than the KZ's which firms up my suspicions about a bad set. I might give the KZ's another try in future.
I want one of this series, would you say the pro x is better? Or the zsn pro 2? I don't like the graph on this one..am I interpreting it wrong? My other choice would be the Trn Conch, I need an all rounder, my other stuff all specialises in certain things. I was using a ZVX for that, but I upgraded my dac and it can't keep up..
hey man i'm just return the tangzu waner for this . i'm about to buy this kz . could u tell me should i use this pair of iem cause i'm a competitive fps gamer i'm only play rainbow six siege . to be honest that game is crazy cause it's have basement a some floor which is make me nervous when i'm try to track where are the enemy . the tangzu waner is really bad for me cause if i hear the footstep on my right the enemy is infront of me and opposite. i have been ask some store and they said i should pick some iem have more driver like this kz 1 dd and 4 ba. my budget just enough to get this . hope u could answer me . sorry for my poor language . it's not my native
Not much difference in quality from the pro 10. you can a pull a bit more bass out of the new pro 2 still a great unit. for those who like a bit more bass, they are cool.
I got mine today. If you want my experience, just get rid of this shit. Extremely high treble just raped my ears. Sound experience is way different than my old headset. I wanted to switch from headset to IEM, but it's horrible.
Hey my budget is around $40. I'm currently confused between kz zs10 pro 2, cca rhapsody and simgot ew200. Or should spend $10 more for delci. I like puncy bass without affecting the vocals and wide soundstage.Also tuning switchs are a plus point as i probably won't do eq.
@@woka_kawanua-hw2hjHey thanks for answering. I was also considering delci but tuning switchs are very tempting as i can change it depending upon mood. Which one can be listened for longer period of time?
@@abhikmandal6696 , similar thought occurred with me when I wanna get my first IEM with switch, I got it though, but after I met my setting, I never change it again, now regret for its bulky size due to switch.
