Review on 🎧 Yinyoo KZ ZSX 5BA 1DD Over Ear Earbuds: Superior Noise Cancelling Hybrid Headphones with Balanced Armature Dynamic Driver (Black, Wired, No Mic) by Beny Teller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

They keep improving.

This is probably my 10th model of KZ headphones that I have bought. We will see. ZST Black and Color, ZSR, ZS3, ZS6, ZS10, AS10, ZSA, ZSN and ED9. I assume this is the 11th model so far. I think this one is the top of all the KZ models I've tried. Maybe the AS10 is on top too, but it has a different setting that's closer to neutral, but not quite. I have heard others say that ZS7 is a descendant of AS10 and ZS6. I think I could agree with that. They definitely sound a lot more mature and refined in the highs than the ZS6 and carry the bass with even more punch. They appear to have smoother mids and highs than the AS10. Either way, with the large shaft tips, I get a great seal and reliable performance right out of the box. I'll try some of the other tips to see if I can get some extra performance. The cable that comes with it is the memory cable that KZ came with previous models, which I think is acceptable for the price, but there are other brands that offer better cable options for a similar price. If they supplied the same cable as ZSN I would be happier. I prefer molded ear loops over memory wire. I now have many other headphones ranging from $15 to $380. It's definitely not the best I have. Some of my favorites overall are Moondrop Kanas Pro, BGVP DMG, and ToneKing T88K, but they each have different sound signatures that I like with various options from my fairly large music library. The KZ ZS7s are quite satisfactory, but don't have the refinement that you can get by spending $200-$300. If you're willing to shell out up to $50, they're worth it. It will not disappoint you.
