KZ ZAX

So this past year I did major upgrades to my desk setup and sound setup. For reference, I got myself a goxlr and a shure sm7b. So naturally I was looking to upgrade the most important part, the headphones. I dislike the feeling of bulky headsets so I wanted something in-ear for sure. I ventured around amazon and was ignorantly thinking that expensive = better. Well, I read more and more reviews and landed on these. The design drew me in at first. After seeing such good reviews, I bought them. I also bought two other iems at the same time of equal quality and price. This KZ ZAX literally trumps over the rest. There is something about the depth of sound that you can FEEL, most likely due to the open back design. The sound is loud, clear, and balanced. They will not disappoint you. The other iems I bought were closed back and sounded so dry compared to these from Linsoul. They work amazing with my mixer setup. I will be purchasing backup pairs directly from this site because they are amazing. Thanks for reading all.

Excellent

KZ ZAX

That is briliant! Perfect sound, good quality for good price, fast delivering. Very good hold in ears. Recomend for all!
Be careful with long listening in high volume. 40000 hz high frequency give litle pain in head 😀

These are my first IEMs and for that price they are a great choice over other earphones. My only concern was if they aren't too big but they fit nicely.
Free shipping to Poland took only 2 weeks. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

KZ ZAX

Very nice build quality, mine being the blue without mic, these IEMs look fantastic and are relatively light making them very comfortable to wear for extended periods and listening sessions without any problems. I did simply unbox, connect and let them play on my Sony Hi Res Walkman for 5 days before actually listening to them also as I do with all my IEMs and I suspect it did some good burn in wise because now using an upgraded cable and foam ear tips I certainly am hearing a nice wide, open and warm sound stage, detailed, smooth, refined, definitely more restrained on the bass side, still good strong bass and even sub bass just not as forward or in your face as some but certainly clear and abundant when the music source calls for it, an overall very well balanced and pleasing soundstage.

Also running Deezer Hi Fi and the PowerAmp app on my android phone through both my Fiio Q1 mk2 and my Xduoo XD-05 Plus DAC/Amps these KZ ZAX’s certainly do impress, they seem to enjoy some power and step up a notch when powered by these two units, the bass is stronger and the overall soundstage seems larger again, more impressive, listening to the likes of “Woman in Chains” by Tears for Fears, “Talking about a Revolution” by Tracy Chapman, “Aint doin too bad” by Eva Cassidy, “RUMOURS” by Fleetwood Mac, “The Flower Duet” by Katherine Jenkins, “I’ve got a crush on you” by Frank Sinatra and Barbara Streisand each of these was a standout on the ZAX’s, all great vocal performances backed by brilliant instrumentation and all shone on these sounding well balanced and beautifully presented. Then moving onto some Daft Punk, Fischerspooner, Kygo then onto Metallica, Psychedelic Furs and Roxy Music (all on FLAC) listening to some much loved tracks these ZAX’s did not fail to impress, again given some good power from a good DAC/Amp they really do come to life and shine given good source music.

To sum up, for the money anyone on a budget could not go wrong with these IEM’s and I suspect will like what they hear given the small asking price of these units, 1x dynamic driver and 7 balanced armatures per ear for so little and they do actually sound very good, very impressed with the product, build quality and overall and most importantly the sound quality of these ZAX’s and very happy with the purchase, highly recommended for the budget conscious with a discerning ear, AAA+++.

Customer service is fast and very helpful. The headphones are great as far as quality of sound and materials are concerned. I've also recommended those to friends of mine and they are also impressed of the sound quality.

As an owner of a few other KZ hybrids, including the ZSX, I can state with confidence that the ZAX does everything the ZSX does but noticeably better:

More refined and defined bass.

Suitable mids, which only require the most minor adjustments of EQ to bring a bit more forward; this is a matter of taste, of course.

A treble that doesn't try to drill a hole through my ear drums.

I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive, flagship hybrid!

I'll keep it simple, although I already did a review on these, after another month of listening to these, I fell in love. The vocals have turned into a sweetness, mixed with so much detail from the rest that is actually smooth yet snappy. I enjoy them so much in the afternoon and beyond. They're very comfortable, isolation is just average, but they are deserving as one of the best iem's under $100, very enjoyable iem's. I'll leave it at that.

KZ has been the king of price to performance in IEMs for a while now. So, I'm going to compare the ZAXs here to the ZS10 Pro, which were particularly famous for their performance about 2 years ago.

the changes:

1. More bass. Nothing overpowering at all, but KZ have brought the bass from objectively lacking to very neutral. If anyone is looking for a bit more bass without going for an entirely bass centric IEM, then the CCA C16 will be a better buy.

2. A lot more detail. The ZS10 Pro were already a bit above average, but the ZAX have brought out a lot of details I actively miss when listening to literally any other IEM now.

3. Better sound stage. This is pretty mild in most songs, but noticeable. This is because of the slightly open back design on these that wasn't present in the ZS10 Pros.

4. A more pleasant overall presentation; both less sterile (brighter) and more aggressive in the mids especially .

I recently bought the Mangird Tea, and realized I prefer the ZAX. The Tea are better assuming you're looking for a really "put together" sound. As in, there's slightly above average detail, but the sound is kinda mixed into what I'd consider to present as more a continuous "wall of sound". The other way the Tea is better is the presence of noticeable sub-bass for EDM.

The ZAX are easily the best IEM for the price right now, tied with the CCA CA16 being the same besides tuning, which leans more bass heavy and a little bit brighter still.
