Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pretty amazing for the money!

I really like the KZ headphones. You get many benefits from their products. Sometimes you just have to find what's right for you. I'm a drummer and have tried a range of headphones for IEM and general listening purposes. I started with a pair of Infinity headphones (not at all suited for IEM use) and then switched to the Shure SE215. They were great for a while and I switched to a three driver Westone UX Pro 30 pair and honestly didn't notice much of an improvement over the Shure I had. Here's the thing about headphones: The type of earbuds you use is almost as important as the headphones themselves. Sometimes this can change the sound quite a bit. When I started buying KZ headphones, I couldn't hear the Shure 215 anymore, the sound was too harsh and narrow for me. KZ has much more depth and soundstage. I started with FTA and then AC6. From there I switched to the ZS 10 Pro and these are my favorites so far for use in IEM. These are actually my backups from a pair of Westone AM Pro 30's that I've been using (triple drivers with surround ports so you can also hear people talking on stage). When I saw the DQ6 I decided to give it a try. Especially for the price and they have three dynamic drivers. So I ordered a set. I had just had surgery when they arrived and had plenty of time to play with them. I hooked it up to one of my laptops, used the factory rubber tips and off we went. As a drummer, I LOVE low frequencies. Bass, kick drum, low synths and guitars. I just love it. To say I wasn't initially impressed would be an understatement. Too many high frequencies. The mids weren't too bad, but the bass didn't impress me at all, but I could tell it was there. This is where tips come into play. When using my earbuds on stage I always use foam earbuds because they usually keep the earbuds where they belong in my ears. They also add low frequencies and control high frequencies. Once on my feet I found a set of foam tips and tried them again. Doesn't matter! is it $27 Suddenly there was a lower limit and now they do a great job listening to videos and such on my laptop. Needless to say, I'm still not a fan of rubber earbuds. In summary, I don't think you can go wrong with these for under $30. Is there a better one for this price? Possibly, but I will keep my KZs as I have never had a problem with any of their products.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • not fashionable
