KZ - Sonata Tuning Version

I had an as24 pro about a year ago, and was once my best iem. But definitely sonata is an upgrade. Sonata offers better design, cooler cables and unboxing, better fit, safer high notes and wider soundstage, overall better tone and more refined and musical instrument representation. It worth to spend more money.

Sonata is more flat sound than zs12 pro x, hydro. And it's midrange separated from other frequencies perfectly, presence is just perfect.

Sold now, but I had them both once. Sonata is definitely better.

No, im using the new Kz Sonata, 28 drivers configuration. But the truth is, the zar was an upgrade coming from the AS 16 Pro x, and upgrading from the zar to the sonata, didnt see much uplift, using 28 drivers. But back to the As16 pro, they aren’t bad for the price and works really well when it comes to footsteps and locating the footsteps. But remember im using a silver/copper wire(TRN Red cable), to me drastically change the sound for me positively.

Hi, just got the Sonata and they are better than AS24. I didnt own AS24Pro. Im happy with my upgrade. They are more comfy to wear as well

The switches make the difference. I mainly listen to music on my iphone. I used AS24 + upgraded cable + type C adapter + Deezer HiFi app that comes with integrated EQ. Now I turn off the EQ in the app as the settings available in the Sonata integrated EQ are good enough. Sound wise is more balanced, with a good stabilization between highs and lows (As24 is too bright in the highs), per example you can add extra bass or lower the highs and the changes will be subtle but they will be there. The Sonata has also more detail, especially in the vocals. I could hear the back vocals clearly in many songs. Overall very good for classical, pop, r&b, indie, alternative rock. For hard rock and metal genres I think having so many layers of sounds (multiple drivers) is not beneficial as these genres are more condensed in sound.

How much are the KZ Sonata? Because this is the 1st time i've seen a KZ with more than 16 drivers and the most that i've seen so far

All of them?! The KZ Sonata alone probably cost more than KZ ZAS that IEM alone already has 8 in each and that one have 28 Balanced Armatures

The KZ Sonata alone looks like it cost more than 95 USD considerring how many drivers it has

I have KZAS24Pro and KZ Sonatas. KZ Sonata are awesome and a step better than the KZ-AS24's. I got my Sonata's with the 4 tuning switches and the sound is incredible. They are very comfortable -- and someone said they are more comfy than the KZ-AS24s? Basically they are the same shell so they are the same comfort wise. You can't go wrong for \~$150. With 14 drivers per ear, custom IEMs would cost you thousands (if you can find them). I play in a rock band with these and can say there is nothing that comes close in this price range.

As someone who owns a Sonata, I think the Sonata is a very interesting IEM. So if you like an IEM that could make you feel like you're wearing an overear, this is the one to get.
