Pre-order details

Overview

The details behind KZ ZAR.

Full-range excellence with 1DD+7BA units

Impressive sound relies on a-class hardware. With upgraded frequency division technology, the full potential of all 8 units in ZAR is realized to give you an auditory feast. With the 30019s and three 50024S balanced armatures improving the expressiveness and clarity of ultra-high and mid-high frequency, you will get a clear, clean, and mellow treble. The performance of ZAR on vocal and bass is equally outstanding- impactful, immersive, and with deep dive-, thanks to highly precise magnetic circuit dynamic units.

U-curve sound signature for Audiophiles

Despite the already impressive potential of the hardware, the tunning of ZAR further leveled up the acoustic performance. To fit the needs of most, the sound signature is in U-curve that emphasized on bass and mid-high frequency a bit more. This tunning will improve instrumental separation and help you better catch the details in your beloved music, and ultimately give you a much more realistic and natural listening.

Ergonomic Earbuds with Exquisite Craftsmanship

The appearance of ZAR of course matches its powerful performance. The panel on the bud looks classy with fine texture, while the gold-plated detachable cable adds a bit more color for better aesthetic value and protects the needles from breaking. The hooked design will hug your ear comfortably for long-lasting listening and minimized discomfort.

Wonderful sound delivered by upgraded cable

Durable, effective, and good-looking, the KZ-ZAR’s cable works wonder for the HiFi IEM’s acoustic quality. The core is silver-plated to rid the annoying microphonics -the noise of cable moving and shifting against any surface that somehow finds its way into the electrical circuit- and maintain the HiFi effect. The transmission is swift thanks to the 8 strands, to maintain the detailedness of the driver’s outputs and stream to your ear with utmost faithfulness to the source.

Smart control

The handy button on the cable lets you control your call/voice/music listening with ease. Click once to pause/resume music or answer/hang up phone calls; and press and hold to reject calls. You can also switch between songs freely, with double clicks for the next song and triple clicks for the previous song.

Massive and dense

The KZ ZAR is a model that delivers a mellow neutral sound with a heavy and dense low-frequency leaning.

In terms of sound quality, ZAR belongs to the lineage of typical recent KZ signature models such as KZ ZNA, KZ DQS, and CCA CXS, which, along with DQS, are closer to the lower frequencies.

König der KZ-Kopfhörer – Bassgewalt trifft Detailreichtum

Ich habe bereits mehrere In-Ear-Monitore (IEMs) von KZ getestet, aber der KZ ZAR spielt definitiv in einer eigenen Liga. Wer den typischen, energiegeladenen Sound der Marke mag, wird dieses Modell lieben.

Was mir besonders gefällt ist der phänomenaler Bass - druckvoll, tief und mit einem richtig guten „Punch“, ohne dabei die Mitten zu erdrücken. Für EDM, Hip-Hop oder Rock ist das ein absoluter Genuss. Dank der 7 Balanced-Armature-Treiber hört man Details in der Musik, die bei günstigeren Modellen oft untergehen. Die Trennung der Instrumente ist für diesen Preisbereich beeindruckend. Das mitgelieferte 8-adrige Kabel ist fühlt sich wertig an, verheddert nicht und sieht edel aus. Trotz der vielen Technik im Inneren sitzen die Hörer (zumindest in meinen Ohren) sehr sicher und bequem, auch über längere Zeit.

Fazit: Der ZAR ist für mich der bisher beste „Allrounder“ von KZ. Er macht einfach Spaß, klingt extrem dynamisch und sieht dabei noch verdammt gut aus. Wer ein Upgrade von den Klassikern wie dem ZSN Pro oder ZS10 Pro sucht, macht hier absolut nichts falsch. Eine klare Kaufempfehlung für alle, die lebendigen Sound lieben und kein Vermögen für einen IEM ausgeben wollen.

Great for Warzone!

I bought these to use for gaming and they definitely are great quality. They do help directionally when it comes to footsteps. The microphone cord was not great for me, but I use a boom mic so not an issue. The plugs were missing but Helen Zheng made sure to get a replacement set sent out. Thank you!

Dark , warm, 'brick bass', outstanding

As title says , may show some shrillness on highs/high volumes but for the price I am very happy , different signature then 10 PROX ( subbass more dry and tight ) and not as much details as 1000$ iem , but excellent bass impact and they sound outstanding on all genres really
