KZ - KZ Decet

Try kz castor pro bass/kz duonic or kz decet And you better never use something like dolby atmos, it usually destroy iem sound https://preview.redd.it/shhwv66i42eg1.jpeg?width=1438&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4498c30b3c890c5a755b34227fecad09a58d86b0

Imo decet is better, though some people reported pressure buildup with them

You should try the KZ Decet, they sound terrible out of the box, but once you EQ them, I personally think they sound better than the Hydros once you EQ the bass down and fiddle with the mids and highs, you can get the same detail as the Hydros, with a bit more bass that rounds off the sound just that tad bit better imo.

Recently received my first iems (KZ Decet). They could be smaller and lighter, but I'm loving the bass slam I get from 5 dynamic drivers in each ear. They were my first purchase from AliExpress, so I got them for $19.27. I also upgraded the cable to the KZ 8 core silver/blue cable for 14.37 and got a Jcally JM6 Pro for $16.65 and a $2.14 case bringing my total to $52.43, not including tips. I have tried a few and have more coming. The best so far have been the inverted stock tips. I couldn't get a good seal with either the Kiwiflex or Sancai tips. I've got some more on the way. https://preview.redd.it/rwo193l72rdg1.jpeg?width=1987&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=23167c098a56b40675f89fd7e6e182ac22368ccd

The foams that came with them sound good, but get uncomfortable after a while. I've got a cheap pair of hybrids (silicone over foam) and a KZ set that has foam and silicone tips on the way. I'm still constantly adjusting Poweramp EQ, but I'm getting them to sound pretty damned good. I mostly listen to classic rock and Chicago blues and I'm loving the bass on these puppies.

These are my first iems. KZ Decet. I love the bass on these! https://preview.redd.it/80uynahpwzdg1.jpeg?width=2286&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a5e4496d571e108f8f74ae269354fcfd907b2ad 5 Dynamic Drivers in each ear. Got mine for less than $20. I recommend a DAC/amp like the Jcally JM6 PRO and they need EQ to really bring that bass out.

If you are looking for more bass, I recommend the KZ Decet. 5 dynamic drivers in each ear are a lot of fun

KZ Decet would be an upgrade for not much more money. People say they paid $40-50 for them, but I got them for less than $20. It's my first iem and I'm loving them. With EQ, they have fantastic bass if that's your thing.

Decet was my first purchase from AliExpress so I got the first time discount. Recently used coins for a new cable and got some Sancai tips for $2.22. They should be here any day.

KZ Decet. The bass is really fun for 20 bucks!

The kz decet of all the iems I've ever heard its got the most like thump of all of them. I am not sure that its that they have any more bass than others in a measurable way but it seems to hit harder.

For the price, I really like KZ Gale and EDX Pro 2 (coming in the mail). They have almost the same exact tuning, except EDX Pro 2 has higher bass overall. Nice smooth treble, vocals aren't pushed back, sibilance is minimal, and bass is satisfying. I still can't believe I only paid $7 for Gale. Crazy value. ZVX Pro, EDC Pro, Libra X, Vader, Trio, Hydro, Saga, all pretty good, although I certainly wouldn't pay full price for any of those, only on a good sale. I like Decet with a good EQ the most of all my KZ IEMs. I heard Zenith is really good too but never ended up buying one.

You get SO MUCH sound for your money with IEMs. My $50 Arrti T10 sound better than any headphone or TWS I've tried at 4x the price. I've just tried $50 Kz Decet for the first time, and I may like them even more! I'd recommend getting a $50 pair just to see if you like the comfort/fit, because they don't work for everyone.

I've tried planars and basshead sets so far! Kiwi Ears Aether, Letshuoer S08, Kiwi Ears Airoso, KZ Decet, CCA Hydro, and today the QoA Adonis arrived... I even wondered if 'd get a bigger benefit with headphones so I bought an Edition XS. They are all really good, but the difference between my $50 Artti T10 and the $150 Aether was much more "I guess it sounds a bit better if I concentrate." Same for ear tips- they've been wasted purchases.

Hmm, I'd still probably say the t10 but if you're specifically wanting bass I can personally recommend the KZ Decet, or maybe the Bass version of the KZ Am16 (I have the balanced and that's pretty bassy so I guess the Bass version would have loads)

T10 is ALWAYS my first recommendation... It hurts that people buy $30 IEMs when for $20 more they could have got THAT. It's SO much better. New- KZ AM16 Balanced - glorious value KZ Decet- 5 DDs in each ear. BASSY glorious value. TRN Shell - All round value package. Great sound, build, accessories, and a unique 3dds and a planar.

I got it from AliExpress.

Artti T10 is currently $69 AUD on sale at Amazon. I'd STRONGLY suggest it- the extra $20 gets you something a lot better. Cheaper 1DD suggestions like the Tangzu Wan'er 2 don't come close IMO. $50-100 is the sweet spot of value to performance. Alternatives- TRN Shell (more bass- better accessories) KZ PRX- (Planar almost as good as the T10) KZ Decet (a LOT of bass- 5 DD's in each ear)

There's so many! Ones I can personally recommend: Planars- Artti T10 - my first "holy shit, IEMs are great" best $50 I ever spent. KZ PRX is a good, even cheaper alternative. TRN Shell- Great value everything, even the accessories are great. CCA Hydro- A taste of what a $500+ hybrid can be. 2DDs, 8BAs. KZ Decet- 5 DDs. Very bassy boy- it should be a muddy mess, but it's so impressive for the price and super fun. Kiwi Ears Etude- It sounds great, but also vibrates. It's weird. It's gloriously unique, some may hate it, but I love it. Apevoix Grit- Bone conduction, can be subtle, but on the right tracks (especially live recordings) it's awesome. Punch Audio Martilo - Only had it for a few hours. so far on most tracks it's an excellent, comfortable all rounder, but put on bassy songs and it shows what it can do. Similar to the Decet, but more details. You have to decide if that's worth 4x the price though. Instead of one $100, it may be worth buying 2 pairs eg the T10 and the Decet- Planars sound very different to 5DDs, it's fun to swap. I always hoped I'd be able to just have 1 IEM that did everything, but it turns out I really love swapping between them.

cca hydro or kz decet, the decet is a bass monster i would take that, its 25 bucks btw

If you prefer neutral sound without doing any EQ, ZA12 If you want neutral sound with EQ (which I have a neutral EQ for it), AM16 Balanced AM16 Balanced is geared towards a V-shaped balanced, but bass shelf is more closer to Castor Pro Bass. Decet at default 0000 switches is V-shaped bassy, a tiny bit leaning towards warm, and it might lack the analytical capabilities vs AM16 Balanced or ZA12. Though if you prefer neutral and analytical, why not go straight to Sonata, AS16, AS24, or the ZSxx series? Though, if you prefer a more smoother experience while with your preference then go for either AM16 Balanced (with some EQ), though its not as analytical as like the AS16 or AS24. Treble region is toned down a bit, just like many recent KZs, mostly started since EDC Pro and Zenith. You can also check any from CCA (pre-KZ management IEMs) like CA16, PLA13, or Hydro with some EQ.

KZ Decet should be similar to the OG Black Castor. Heavily discounted recently, ±15 bucks iirc

I just commented the same thing about “the decet” since it has good definition and good body in the music but I have to EQ since without EQ they sound somewhat simple to me.
