Review on 🎧 KZ HD Bluetooth Headphone/Earphone Wireless Cable with Microphone Replacement for C PIN (KZ-ZSN/ZSNpro/AS16/ZS10pro) by Marina Knutson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Respectable. Not perfect, but ok. Doesn't last very long.

Judging by the mixed reviews of these cables, I had low expectations. It's only been 1 day, but so far everything is working. I didn't hear the buzz during silence that some people report, and I've walked more than 20 feet from my phone a few times and haven't lost connection. We'll see how they hold up, but first impressions are that they're not bad. It is obvious that KZ should reduce the cable length. You can use a small zip tie to twist the excess cable, but this will cause the Bluetooth receiver and controller/battery packs to hang a little awkwardly. It's not ideal, but it doesn't bother me. Update: A month or so and they have exceeded my expectations. I didn't notice any hum or white noise. I was afraid of a short circuit from sweat, but no problem. Communication is generally good. Sometimes the connection becomes unstable for a few seconds, but this is usually resolved by pausing and restarting the music. I walked a LONG distance from my phone (30+ feet, different floors) and had no connection issues for at least a minute or two. The battery life seems really good. Last update: After 2 months the BT block failed, most likely from sweat. It's a shame, but I bought another one anyway. A $31 Bluetooth cable plus a $40 pair of KZ headphones is $70. It's cheaper than a pair of Jaybird or J-Lab headphones that I used for running. KZ ZS10+ This cable sounds way better than a pair of Jaybirds and is more sweat resistant. Even if that $31 bluetooth cable fails again in 2 months, it's still cheaper than spending $100+ on a pair of Jaybirds and letting them die in the first few weeks (which has always happened to me).
