"The EDX Pro X’s, on the other hand, are more versatile and are more enjoyable with a variety of genres. ... Warmer mids, and more refined/tamed high-end contribute to this, in my opinion. ... While genres like pop and hip-hop are often fun with big, slammy bass, these genres are also enjoyable with EDX Pros, and I’d imagine even more so with the Pro X’s and their less-peaky treble. ... better suited to more types of music than the Castor Bass ... jazz and alt-rock are seldom complimented by big bass. For instance, a lot of jazz music lies in the mids which tend to be drowned out by the bass of the Castors. Alt-Rock, on the other hand, tends to have a lot of loud, droning bass in the mix already, and amplifying that even more can make listening a tad unpleasant, imo."
"My experience with the EDX Pro’s (not the Pro X’s) that I bought for myself were that I was really impressed with what I was hearing for $15 or so. ... I’d certainly be happy if they were all I had to listen with, and I’m sure they’ll serve you well. ... Genuinely enjoyable, regardless of price? Absolutely. ... I’m confident you’ll be pleased with what you hear, regardless of how much you paid."

"shitty eartips"
"shitty cable"
"there are not very trusted brands like KZ and CCA which usually use cheap cables and not so great material, and that might tend to have problems with some models ... KZ has a lot of cheap IEMs that would be pretty hard to confirm Its quality even if i myself were to buy them"

"I have two pair but they substantially less comfortable to me than over ears. ... Also I have always had above average ear wax and have always battled ear infections and them getting plugged up pretty much my whole life. I’ve learned how to avoid it better now days but a big part of that avoidance strategy is minimizing the amount of time I have something crammed in my ear. ... I do actually have a weird aversion to in ears for home studio daily use lol (I do use in ears live: basic Shure ones and the KZ pro ones)."
Don't know which is best, but I highly doubt I could find anything that sounds even remotely as good as the EDX Pro for 3$ from AliExpress.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Which KZ iem is the best? ->Been using the KZ EDX PRO for over a year now. Got them for 2200 off daraz.
r/PakistaniTech • Want to buy really cheap iem in Pakistan any recommendations, around 2-3k ->The sound profile is decent for its price. It's not anything special but there's no horrendous bass boosting found in normal earphones.
r/PakistaniTech • Want to buy really cheap iem in Pakistan any recommendations, around 2-3k ->Under $10 the best is the KZ EDC PRO (edx pro is another iem), use it with Kbear 08 eartips. In Aliexpress (sometimes using coins) you can get for $8-15 the ND planet, KZ Castor Pro/OG, KZ Libra Balanced/Hi res/X, KZ Saga balanced/bass, KZ ZVX pro, all of them have good reviews and comments. The Kbear 07 and 08 eartips are good for them.
r/iems • Best cheap IEMs ->Well, for one thing, I’ve got the EDX Pro, not the Pro X. My understanding is that the Pro X is improved over the Pro model. To me, the EDX Pro sounds as good from a technical standpoint as the Castor Bass, just with tonality that I prefer. In other words, “quality” to me sounds pretty darn close, just with different tonalities between the two. Just another note about the EDX range: they are pretty lean sounding. Bass isn’t really all that strong or punchy. Essentially, you’re choosing between impressive bass with compromises elsewhere, or good mids and good enough highs with lean bass.
r/iems • KZ Castor vs KZ EDX Pro X ->I have not tried the rhampsody, but I have seen several places that call the hydro as a “rhampsody on steroids”. And yes, the bass, mid and treble are perfect for me, the separation is a huge difference compared to the edx pro x that I had before, 50% more compared to the zs10 pro x. Regarding the bass, you can adjust it to the maximum and it is very good, it responds quite well to the EQ, the only negative, is that from what I see, the rhampsody were not comfortable for you, and the Hydro from what I saw, are the same size as the rhampsody, I imagine a little heavier, but in size they are the same, just like the AS24, AS24 pro, they use practically the same mold. For my part, I highly recommend them.
r/iems • CCA Hydro ->I own budget IEMS and relatively OK headphones here's the difference between my KZ edx pro and JBL tune 600s NC. JBL tune 600s has more accurate higher bass and low mids and relatively better Mids. KZ edx pro has a better soundstage, and a much better and clearer higher high end and better in sub bass. I would pick my JBL for its Noise cancellation, but the KZ for anything else. BTW wav files from my CDS and iPhone 4s as a driver. And remember that you don't listen to music with a gaming headset that does not have its own driver built in, with changeable EQ, since the bass might be too excessive or in general will sound bad.
r/headphones • Why does iem and headphones sound so different ? ->Man, just choose one by looking at accessories and sound signature. There is no ultimate iem, I myself had kz edx pro which have shitty eartips and cable but I was still happy with it, and right now i have waner sg which has better accessories and overall better comfort than kz. I did choose waner look for best one that suits your taste. Actually learning eq is more important.
r/iems • [Need Help Choosing] Tangzu Wan’er vs KZ Castor Pro vs ZS10 Pro 2 vs ZSX Pro – Best Budget IEM for 2025? ->Hi everyone, I’ve been using KZ EDX Pro as my go-to IEMs for both daily listening and on-stage drumming. Haven’t had any problems so far except for the cable, which was my fault since I used it a bit too harshly; but with the 11.11 discounts on AliExpress, I’m thinking of upgrading! I’ve read the advice on this subreddit about KZ’s reputation, so I’m considering some alternatives too. Here’s a list I’ve come up with after some research: * TRN V10 PRO - $18 * TRN ORCA - $19 (Seller is DD-Audio Store) * TRN ST1 PRO - $25 * KZ CASTOR BASS - $24 * KZ CASTOR PRO - $25 * KZ ZSN PRO 2 - $25 * TANGZU WANER SG - $27 (Seller is DD-Audio Store) * TRUTHEAR GATE - $24 * MOONDROP CHU II - $27 * SIMGOT EW100P - $29 (Seller is DD-Audio Store) * QKZ x HBB - $29 (Seller is DD-Audio Store) \*Note: These are the prices with tax included. \*Note2: Except for the specified, the sellers are the original brands’. Any recommendations or advice on these options? I’m looking for something that works well for drumming (stage use) but also offers great sound for everyday listening. Thanks for your help!
r/iems • Need help choosing a new budget IEM for drumming and daily use ->Go for edx. Vocals and instruments are very clear. But it is not tuned for hyper bass.
r/iems • KZ Edc Pro are worth every dollar they cost you ->just add a little more and buy Kz Zex! they are wonderful, I have edx pro, and zex! I pref zex.
r/PakistaniTech • Want to buy really cheap iem in Pakistan any recommendations, around 2-3k ->Zex have good bass which I like they are not very sharp like edx. Edx are way too sharp if u play fps game.
r/PakistaniTech • Want to buy really cheap iem in Pakistan any recommendations, around 2-3k ->EDX Pro has ear piercing treble. EDX Pro X has it mostly fixed but everyone I've seen on Reddit suggest the KZ EDC Pro, which is what I went with. It has balanced audio. But those IEMs have bad directional clues, so it might not be as suitable for gaming as a headphone might be
r/IndiaTech • Please suggest me some good headphones or IEM under 1600 ->EDX Pro has ear piercing treble.

r/IndiaTech • Please suggest me some good headphones or IEM under 1600 ->Kz Edx Pro. I spent 2 months with it and bought the Tin hifi C2 at the time.
r/iems • What was your first IEM, and do you still use it? ->Only tried 3 so far. Kz edx pro, truthear gate and kz castor bass edition. Gate had the best treble

r/iems • Best iems to buy under budget as a beginner. ->KZ EDX Pros, I wanted to try some IEMs and they were going for half a dollar. I use them from time to time.
r/iems • What was your first IEM, and do you still use it? ->Lmao, I got KZ edx pro and it's noisy as hell. Get good cheap dac like Cx 31993 and thank me later
r/iems • IEM recommendations for gaming? ->I want someone's opinion abt like a good starter iem so when I was choosing what iem to get to be my first, I had a choice between 7hz salnotes and kz edx pros', and i went for the pros coz they looked nicer lol ngl they sound great too, but has anyone got both of them? are there any differences in sound quality etc? from what i've heard, the kz edx pro's are more V shaped and the salnotes are flat
r/iems • New here, got my first iems ->Ya , I am using kz edx pro
r/IndianGaming • earphone over headphones nowadays.. ->It’s actually a really good IEM. Out of all the IEM’s I own so far: Letshuoer S08 Artti T10 kZ ZS 10 Pro X KZ Castor Bass KZ EDX Pro I’ve kept the ZNA as my dailies. They just work perfectly for every genre I listen to. Metal, Liquid DnB, Wave, EDM, Progressive Metal, Hip-Hop,
r/iems • KZ ZNA ->All IEMs break or get lost or get left behind. I’d much rather replace a perfectly fine pair of IEMs that cost $60 than a pair that cost $1200. That’s personal preference. I personally think that clarity and detail are completely unimportant in a live situation. There are lots and lots of people who will disagree with me. But my hot take is to go the less expensive route If money is an issue. I currently use the KZ Pros and they sound just fine.
r/drums • Should I invest in high quality IEMS or do “beginner” IEMS work just fine? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
