KZ - ZAR

I'm using keephifi zar hand I'm quite happy with them. This month beyerdynamic will finally be offering iems and if they're not 1000€ I'll definitely try those!

Sticking with KZ, the ZAR is considered an upgrade to the ZAS, fixes a couple things in the midrange and treble. But basshead endgame for most is the Kiwi x HBB Punch, I just ordered one 😀. It's really nice and relatively good value.

My other IEMs are the Hidizs MP145, KZ PRX and ZAR, Rosefinch, Zero Red, Zero 2, and ancient Ety ER4S. I mostly just listen to the Punch, MP145 and ZAR for portable. I love classic rock the most like Grateful Dead, Steely Dan, Beatles, Dylan, Zeppelin, etc. But I listen to everything, love classical and jazz, and EDM and Hip-hop and bassy pop, soul.

Shure 215s are awesome but I gotta say I've been using these on tour and they SMOKE JH Audio stuff at 1/10 of the price. KZ ZAR in-Ear Monitor 7BA+1DD... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTDG5BJR?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Thank you!! I'll look into all of these!! I am currently rocking a KZ brand which are the KZ ZARS. But I hear good things about moondrop

Yeah I'm currently using the KZ ZAR. They're good but everything is all muffled together. Could use an upgrade

I have the KZ ZARs and really like them, they’re up there with the 300-500 USD IEMs I have. I think I got lucky, Others have found them to be shit. I suspect it’s some combo of quality control, bait and switch, and knock-offs.

Due to its fantastic separation and wide soundstage, would this be a good gaming iem? I am currently using the KZ Zar & it performs amazing in sound retrieval & sound location. That been said, only have 16 drivers, 8 per side, the sonata should deff be a high punching contender

I have the KZ AS16 Pro x, and for FPS battleroyale games, this IEMs gives me a great map awareness. The only reason I got this was because of the price. But now seen the ZAR at 50 bucks, I’d say…. GET THEM. Dont listen to anybody as people are really bias and closed minded, me personally, I give everything a chance before condemning lol and thanks god I bought this, as the as16 Pro x, gives me such a great map awareness, friends always says, “HOW THE HELL YOU HEARD HIM NAA YOU GOT WALLHACKS,” Lmao, mind you, the way I have this headsets tuned, I can hear the SMALLEST movements. I can hear the air in between spaces and the enemy, pin pointing them to their EXACT locations. With other headsets, I know the enemy is either left or right, but with this, I can hear, ok, bottom left corner, top right, over this wall etc. I am getting the As 24 pro, more drivers= better precision in sound(hopefully). I use the TRN redchain cable with the mic(linsoul has it for like 15 bucks), cable comes with silver and copper. And changes the sound drastically as the original wire, idk I hate the sound lol.

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.

Oh ok, so yeah, go for the Kz Zar, you won’t be disappointed, I was amazed by the sound quality for the price. Really punches above its weight.

Don’t listen to the QC part, everyone makes mistakes and they check the iems before sending them out. Trust me, I found a piece of hair in mines lol. Depends what you need them for, I mostly use mines for gaming as I use the KZ Zar, GREAT detail retrieval for COD. I can hear everything. So I can imagine this being way better due to you have now 14 drivers per ear so the detail retrieval gotta be good for gaming.

I'm using kz Zar multi driver 1dd 7ba sounds really good not small ig but fit well in my ear once there in kinda forgot there in

The kleans are okay for story games, definitely not my preference but the silver nozzle filter makes it really good compared to the black filter (preferably used for competitive gaming). For story games I rather have something more bassy for impact and wide soundstage for immersion. I’d give a 3.5 out of 5 to the kleans regarding story gaming. I think that with the klean you kinda feel some kind of “switch” from effects/voice to the soundtrack and it bothers me a bit cause it’s not so smooth, it feels like you have the soundtrack playing on Spotify while you play without music on the game if you get what I mean lol but I guess that’s a me thing. Even a KZ ZAR makes story games/movies more interesting than the klean (then again, that’s a me thing). But I mean it’s a great deal if you find it for lower than the original price tag (although I think it’s worth the 50$) About the hexa/pure: the hexas have quite an analytical sound, it’s pretty neutral to my ears. It doesn’t have the best imaging for music but it is surprisingly good for online gaming. The pure is basically an upgraded hexa, it takes everything people liked from the hexas and add some warmth to the sound, it just has more swag than the hexas. I’d say it’s a solid option, great all rounder.

I have the Kz zax but I believe it’s the Kz zar that are slightly better. Though their eq line is almost the same. I use the sucker punch or the headphone bass boost eq in game. With very little volume, maybe 35-40% of system volume and have any special effects from windows turned off

When I first ventured into this class of audio. I was very unsure of the specifics of brands, drivers, tuning, ect... I started with the FiiO JA3s. For the price I thought, how bad could these be. For me they were a good step above my airpods and I had already come to terms with the fact that good audio isn't going to come from a wireless headphone, at least not the level I was looking for. Now I be purchased 4 different pairs of IEMs since then, from $80-$300 and oddly enough I still go back to my second pair which was the KZ Zar. I love them, they're comfortable, the have amazing bass, they don't stick out of my ear, they are overall my favorite. Price, fit, finish, sound, its my favorite. For reference my other two IEMs are the Kiwi Ears Quintet and the Final Audio A5000, both heavily regarded and both sound amazing, but for almost triple the money over the Zars, KZ brings a fantastic value to sound ratio.

I have had the KZ 10 Pros and KZ ZAR’s and they have been great for the price. Maybe someday I will size into customs but for now the KZ’s are great
