KZ - Vader Pro

The Kz EDX Pro X brought me into the Hobby of IEM, although im a newbie, i already upgraded to the Kz Vader pro, and planning to buy the Kz Duonic in the future, i love KZ

Cant really comment right now, because i realized the cheap dac i was using was holding back the Vader Pro, i have recently ordered a KZ AM02 DAC, so im still waiting for it to arrive, but when i use it in my cheap dac, the bass was thin not impactful the Treble is pretty crisp though.

maybe go for thr Normal Vader, liek the Vader Balance or High res, but the Vader Pro is pretty good for me

The KZ Vader Pro is my first IEM. Took some EQ tinkering but I like them. 😊

KZ Vader Pro (with switch) is very good. Most people run it uudd but I prefer it uddd. I've owned many $ _ _ _ iems in the past and these stand out the most to me in my opinion

I have two sets of KZ. Castor Pros and Vader Pros. Both are reallllly good sounding to me, especially Harmon Target with adjustments. The Vader Pros are incredible, honestly. The Castor Pros are like BASS, but still tunable. Depends on what kind of bass you're looking for. Sub-bass is best on the Vaders.

Yeah I bought a cheap pair of KZ Vader Pros and a longer cable and they've been game changing. IEMs were like $30, cable was a bit less. Audio is much better than my old HD598s. Only thing is that they can get a little uncomfortable after a while so I'll switch back to the headphones once and a while if I'm just listening to music or watching a stream or something.

Bad PR history, and they did have a lot of 'misses' in the past. Some shops I know actively avoid them, not to boycott, but they are reluctant to deal with customer complaints about faulty units, when there is a good to fair chance its the 'fake drivers' shenanigans again. Plus every community need a heel, KZ plays that very well and keeps things exciting. It doesn't help that this community has an aversion to brands that pump out products very frequently, when in reality its a very respectable strategy. It allows non-enthusiasts to figure out their preference at a very low price. Imo recent KZ releases have been really good. I would have been a shill if they actually made shapes that can fit my ear without extensive tip rolling. Gale, Dawn, Zenith, Duet, ZVX Pro, Vader Pro, EDC Pro, all have been hits at their price brackets, and none of these are sets that you will feel pained if you end up misplacing them or damaging them by accident. I haven't tried the Hydro from their sister brand CCA, but some users have praised those sets into the high heavens. I unironically think KZ keeps the industry exciting. Having really respectable sets that can be priced similarly to a fancy meal should keep the other players nervous and honest.

ZS12 Pro X for amazing details and technicality PRX has the best planer tuning, almost DD quality bass with the details typical of a planer and wide soundstage. Vader pro bass enhanced has a very good balance of details and bass Hydro is a very fun set with flagship level details

Depend on your tastes The current darling would be Edx2/gale for the cheapos. Zvx pro for great budget balanced tuning Zenith, kz flagship one dd with balanced tuning Prx, zenith like tuning on planar which gives less "impact" but more details. Require more power. --- Cca trio/vader balanced, for fun v tuning with ample bass for rock music AM16, thick ish fun v with better res via multi BA setup Vader pro, attempt of giving kz fun v tuning more resolution at cost of reigning in the bass tuning. --- Sonata, kz true flagship. Detail monster for the price. --- According to some reviewers in head fi Top 3 kz (well, ish) right now would be KZ AM16, KZ ZAX/CCA trio, KZ ZVX Pro.

I'm in love with the KZ Vader Pro personally. If you're into gaming and you want something that's detailed, bassy, and immersive, I'd absolutely recommend them. Especially if you're a console player. They're easy to drive, tuning switches and an enhanced mic

I use IEMs almost exclusively for games and movies. My first expensive pair was the $100 Letshuoer s08 and it had great detail. But I realized that I like the bass response of a DD way more than a planar. Finally found something that works for me and it's surprisingly the KZ Vader Pro that I got for $29

I doubt you've listened to any recent KZ releases if that's your take. Vader, Vader Pro, AM16, Zenith and other recent IEMs have all been excellent for their price

KZ hasn't really fallen and instead it's probably the opposite. They have improved their tuning and frequently get recommended in the sub $100 iem realm. Vader, Vader Pro, Castor Pro, Zenith, AM16 etc are all very good IEMs for their price.
