Design, finish, and level of soundproofing

The KZ ZEX features the signature design of almost all KZ in-ear headphones, compact and suitable for most ear sizes. The IEM surface is matte, with a curved texture that creates a unique beauty for the product, along with 3 color choices of pink-transparent, gray-blue and black. ZEX noise resistance is quite good and does not create a sense of mystery when used for a long time. KZ’s set of M-size Starline earplugs are pre-attached to the headset which is quite soft, and comfortable to wear, but the remaining two sets of regular S and L-size tips are quite hard, causing discomfort after a period of wearing.

Sound quality

This product review is based on the manufacturer’s available accessories, earplugs: Final Audio type E size S; Dac/ Amp: JCally JM6, JCally JM20, Luxury & Precision W2; Source: Samsung Galaxy Note 10+; Spotify and FLAC format file.

With 25 Ohms impedance and 103dB/Vrms sensitivity, the KZ ZEX can pair with virtually any type of DAC/AMP or DAP device with ease.

The sound quality of KZ ZEX is very characteristic of KZ’s V-shape:

– The bass range is solid and tight, relatively large in volume but still suitable for listening to many genres of music. Although ZEX cannot reproduce low octave notes in the sub-bass part, it does not lose sound detail, but has a good response speed and detail in the price range, just enough to satisfy most customers has just entered the world of Audiophile.

– The mid-range is slightly back for the mid-bass to encroach, making most instruments such as pianos, guitars … or vocals thinner, and lacking in detail, but thanks to that, ZEX helps users feel about nothing. time in music. The high mid-range is quite advanced, adding more power to electric guitars, and trumpets… and at the same time highlighting the friction consonants of the vocals, which can be quite harsh when heard at an above-average volume.

– To create a dynamic, vibrant sound, the treble range is significantly increased. Although the frequency range of the ZEX is not extended, the reproduction is quite rough and harsh due to many resonance peak frequencies and low resolution, but the percussion is clearly emphasized, fully showing the basic information in the music. In the segment of less than $50, ZEX has shown all its capabilities, especially with the electret driver equipped on the product.

– As a cheap in-ear model, ZEX’s soundstage is narrow, and the instruments are arranged a bit cramped, but this is not a separate problem of concern for this product.

Compare

With KZ EDX Pro:

KZ EDX Pro is a slight upgrade over its EDX predecessor with a slight upgrade in the perfection of headphones and accompanying accessories such as cords. In terms of finishing, ZEX is slightly better than EDX Pro when it comes to the IEM made from metal with eye-catching textures. In contrast, the compact design of the EDX Pro minimizes wind blowing, providing a better level of overall sound insulation. The sound quality of EDX Pro is V-shaped with a tight bass range, lots of volumes, and bright treble, suitable for EDM, hip-hop music, and floor music… But certainly, not everyone is a fan. That extremely vibrant sound quality, just want a headset to listen to noise, ZEX is another reasonable choice.
