sonthesorrowerThe very first IEM I ever had is the KZ ZST X, what is your experience on it?
Intelligent-Tea-5958KZ ZSTx with AZ09.
BearriwiseTbf, ZST was one of the first if not the first IEM in sub $20, i think it was released in 2017. It was extremely old but back then, his only enemy was TRN (i forgot the exact model) and eventually a TFZ - except TFZ is in sub 50 category. TFZ T2 and TIN T2 were the amazing IEMs back in the day. TIN T2 was the "first" neutral. TFZ Galaxy T2 is the bass one.
KZ ZST. Ancient old but it was my first iems that i liked the tuning, I tried other KZ. This was around 2018 or smth so it's limited to TFZ, KZ and TRN. I had TFZ Galaxy after, it was amazing but it's about 100usd in my place. IEMs become much cheaper now.
