KZ ZST Wired On-cord Control In Ear Earphones

E chi se lo sarebbe mai aspettato? Per quanto le recensioni online siano tutte positive, non ci si aspetterebbero fuochi d'artificio da un IEM da 10€ (allo stesso prezzo in un qualsiasi negozio ci si prende roba da pattumiera)... poi arrivano, le provi e capisci che oltre ai fuochi d'artificio questi auricolari fanno anche i botti!!! Soundstage limpido e dinamico al punto giusto, un filino generoso sulle alte frequenze (premettendo che ho ancora il cavo stock) ma nulla di fastidioso o di invalidante in fatto di coerenza sonora.
Volendo fare un paragone con auricolari più blasonati e partendo da roba commerciale:
Gamma Beats inEar: confronto impari in fatto di coerenza, queste ZST sono molto più "sincere" e non Enfatizzano la parte bassa così come fanno i prodotti della casa con la B rossa...
Sennheiser CX300: per un utilizzo quotidiano preferirei le sennheiser perché molto più pratiche e comunque con un ottima qualità... ma se siete in studio o comunque volete quel qualcosa in più di sicuro le KZ
Sony MDR EX90: Forse finora la miglior cuffia che ho mai avuto... e queste KZ non hanno molto da invidiargli.

Gia ho ordinato le ZS6, non vedo l'ora di provarle e vedere il loro limite (sempre se ne hanno uno)

Suggestion

Il peso è abbastanza importante e consiglio di sostituire le tips in silicone con altre in schiuma così da evitare che gli auricolari si "appendano" in caso di utilizzo in movimento.

Per il resto nessun difetto.

- Sounds pretty good (sharp at times, but great for price)
- Look VERY nice and cool
- Work well with phones

I waited a long time for these to arrive and I must say that what I received was... well average. Nothing too special about these things aside from the flashy looks and the disconnecting chord. Assembly was somewhat difficult because I was afraid that I was going to break the pins off the chord when putting them on the headphones, but I did not. It does require a little force. Once I got that out of the way, I had to some small trouble getting the chords on right, but other than that I was ok. I plugged them into my phone and turned on some tunes to see how they sounded and they sound pretty good. Bass is good, vocals are crips (sharp at times), and they look pretty darn cool! I would definitely recommend these

Suggestion

- Somewhat difficult to put the chord into the headphones themselves. I felt as if I was going to break them.
- Lack of instructions

I know it is not Gearbest's fault, but these things took for freaking ever to arrive. I did get them eventually and I'm happy I did, but just expect some time for them to arrive in the USA once you order them. Don't get them if you need headphones ASAP. If you need some nice pretty looking headphones and you have the time to spare, then these are for you!

Okay, I'm not an audiophile so pardon if this is not a technical review at all. I own a pair of Xiaomi Piston 3s so basically this will be my point of reference.
> great noise isolation
> overall sound quality is way better than that of piston 3. it's well-balanced and i enjoy the clarity of the sound it produces.
> very affordable
> sounds better if you use memory foam tips. i replaced the stock tips with my generic foam tips and i heard a noticeable improvement. foam tips don't work with piston 3 as sound is just awful with these on. so i suggest you also get some foam tips when you order your ZST.

Suggestion

not really a con but i hope KZ adds a volume control in their next version of the ZST.

First buy of ZST and I really like them. I wish they will include silver cable as a standard. It normalized sometimes excessive highs these buds can sometimes produce. They are not harsh but as a reference buds you have to account with that. After upgrade it is still fun sounding, sound stage is good, seperation of instruments is good but they are not super cold and analytical. After upgrade they are not so pronounced on highs and stay slightly v shaped (more deep bass and more highs) but nothing I can complain about. These are good buds for Iphone SE as I know that this phone in comparison to Iphone 4 and older ones has slighty duller sound. If you have better sound source they will be also better sounding.

Pour le prix, ces écouteurs sont justes top. J'ai un kit oreillette Bose intra depuis plus de 2 ans, les basses sont géniales néanmoins, je dénote une certaine faiblesse pour les aigus. Avec ce tout nouveau kit KZ ZST, j'ai retrouvé les aigus et les middels que j'avais perdu! Le son est beaucoup plus cristallin que sur mes Bose mais ça, au détriment des basses... Les basses sont moins impressionnantes sur les KZ ZST. C'est en fonction de chacun! Je les recommande pour les sons plus classiques et la trance, le rock, les étudiants ayant besoin de s'entraîner pour l'audition d'un film dans une langue étrangère... Bref, ils sont extras!
Excellente isolation acoustique par rapport au monde extérieur.
Le câble est de trésorerie bonne qualité.

Suggestion

Basses un peu faiblardes.

They sound pretty good, especially for what you're paying. I'm not an audiophile so I can't really give a proper introduction, but the sound felt rather balanced with a bit more emphasis on bass. The isolation is quite good and the cable that goes over the ear is very nice. Comfort isn't bad either, when you get used to how it's put on - and when you get a good seal. The detachable cable is a huge plus because most of my earphones die because of cable issues. I usually repair them but it's not always feasible. Didn't have any issues with the mic + button either.

Suggestion

There's no getting away from the fact that they're large! It was a bit problematic but it won't bother you when you get used to them. Setting them up was rather difficult. The user guide that came with it didn't have any info and the earbuds themselves didn't have any markings to show which ones were for the right and left (even though the cable did). One of the prongs of the cable was bent to the other side and I connected it wrong at first. It took a good five minutes try all the positions and rotate it around to get the proper fit and connection.

Main point: they sound awesome. I am not an audiophile in any way, so my knowledge on the topic is pretty limited, but I can hear. Sound is clear. Bass isn't excessive nor lacking, Voices are clear. Noise isolation is decent. They are comfortable enough for listening few hours in a row. I think it's really hard to beat it for the price.
Also, colorful edition (also known as Pro or v2 — the one I have) looks very nice.
Detachable cable is a huge plus for me, because most of my headphones died because of cable, and here I have an option to easy replace it.
L-shaped jack is very handy.

Suggestion

At first I had a problem distinguishing left and right pieces, because they aren't labeled; cables have labels, but they come detached and can be putted in in a wrong way.
Cable has very notable microphonic effect, but, to be fair if you wear them as intended — with memory wire — it will not be noticeable.
One pair of plugs don't hold very well on the headphones.

I don't know if it's just my ears but I had several occasions where the earbud would disconnect itself from the cable. Luckily the buds themselves are made to disconnect and are pretty resilient too!

As for the sound quality, on my Xiaomi Mi max 2 using a flat equalizer resulted in a pleasant listening experience however it was a different story for the iPhone 6. The iPhone had a much more bright and tinny sound to them compared to the nice warmth they provided with my Xiaomi. Overall, the buds my vary person to person but I found them to my liking

Apologies for the less than average photos

-The ZST Colorful are simply beautiful. Based on aesthetics alone they are worth the price, but luckily they sound as good as they look.

-Bass is thumping, but not overdone and reaches low even presenting a bit of rumble at higher volumes.

-The mids are present and in your face and the treble is loud and clear if bit grainy at the highest notes.

-The soundstage is one of the widest I\'ve experience with any in-ear.

-Another plus is the detachable cable which can upgraded or replaced.

Suggestion

-The proper way to insert the cables is confusing and there is no documentation on how to do it correctly. To save you some time just make sure the L and R markings on the cable face outward and away from your ears.

-The vent on my right earpiece was not pierced through and I experienced massive driver flex on that earpiece. I solved the problem by puncturing the hole with a needle.

-I had to change the stock tips to foam tips. The stock tips caused discomfort and pain after prolonged use.

Отличный дизайн, стильная упаковка которая сойдет за подарочную, качественный прочный пластик наушников, заменяемый кабель, два излучателя, очень чистые вч благодаря арматурному излучателю, низкое сопротивление (отлично подойдет для моб. техники) высокая чувствительность, мощный бас, приятная середина. Интересный дизайн, два излучателя (нч и вч) низкое сопротивление (отлично подойдет для моб. техники) высокая чувствительность. как и модель zse отлично подходит для тяжелых стилей вроде death и black metal

нет и быть не может за 700 рублей
