Review on Easy KZ ZST Hybrid Banlance Armature With Dynamic In-Ear Earphone 1BA+1DD HiFi Headset (ZST No Mic) by Scott Ramu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The KZ ZST is a great introduction to in-ear monitors.

I've seen professional in-ear headphones (IEMs) and always assumed the price would be exorbitant. I watched some videos online and found that there are IEMs like KZ ZST at a very reasonable price. KZ ZST is a great introduction to IEM and allows you to experience the technology without breaking the bank. These particular IEMs are better than many in-ears and earbuds I've tried, and these IEMs are easily a third cheaper. Since I haven't tried other IEMs, I compare my "sound" to in-ear headphones and headphones I've used like the Lypertek SoundFree S20, Skullcandy Push Ultra, and HyperX Cloud. I use KZ ZST for gaming on my Windows 10 PC and watching movies. These are the first audio products (other than a multi-speaker configuration) that I've attempted to sound like they take advantage of 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound. In games, the KZ ZST gives me a huge advantage when hearing an enemy's approach or knowing which way the shot was fired is critical to success. The KZ ZSTs have much better directivity (which means I can tell exactly where the sound is coming from) than the Hyper X Cloud gaming headphones I usually use. When watching movies, the KZ ZSTs sound like I'm surrounded by speakers. The sound quality is excellent. The bass is very deep and crisp, and the mids are punchy, allowing for very clear dialogue, but the highs are a bit too high in my opinion and sometimes overwhelm the mids, but not to the point where it's a "problem." " is. . ". Since I'm using the KZ ZST on a PC, I installed a free equalizer (Equalizer APO) to adjust the highs a bit. During my initial research, I learned a lot about balanced armature and dynamic drivers. The KZ ZSTs have a balanced armature and dynamic driver.More expensive IEMs can have more balanced armatures that target specific frequencies, giving more clarity and balance across the range.Now that I've tried the KZ ZST and know that they and IEMs in general Having a great experience, my next purchase is the slightly more expensive KZ ZS10 Pro which has 4 balanced anchors and 1 dynamic driver If you are interested in trying and listening to the KZ ZST in ear headphones they are a good one choice to get to know her.
