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!
r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS • IEM suggestions for PUBG ->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.
r/iems • Better iem than KZ ZAS ->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.
r/iems • Are the Kiwi Ears x HBB Punch the best for someone who likes a more bassy sound with some treble and low mids while still sounding clear and not muddy? ->I am tempted as well I own both the ZS10 Pro 2 and the ZAR (which I would have never bought at the original price, think I snagged it for $45) but I am trying to suppress my urge to buy more KZs and try some other brands besides KZ/CCA. I will say though I snagged a pair of CCA CRA+ for like $13 just to keep in my bedroom (mostly to listen to podcasts on as I fall asleep) and I was super impressed with them for music unexpectedly. So I now keep those on my AZ10 BT ear hooks for walking/hiking as they fit my ears perfectly, are light weight, sound great, and wouldn't be the end of the world if I lost them.
r/iems • I don't know why KZ ZAR is underrated. ->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
r/Drumming • Drumming to a click ->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
r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS • IEM suggestions for PUBG ->Yeah I'm currently using the KZ ZAR. They're good but everything is all muffled together. Could use an upgrade
r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS • IEM suggestions for PUBG ->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.
r/headphones • Purchased an iem and terribly disappointed with it ->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
r/iems • KZ 28BA Sonata Review 🎉 ->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.
r/iems • What about kz zar for gaming? ->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.
r/iems • What about kz zar for gaming? ->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.
r/iems • What about kz zar for gaming? ->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.
r/iems • KZ Sonata ->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
r/iems • Help me choose small but good IEMs under $100-120 ->Paid 94 Amazon
r/iems • Help me choose small but good IEMs under $100-120 ->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
r/Bass • Best budget IEM ->Oh ok cool I got the ZAS rn and it dosent sound bad but sounds like shit compared to the hd600s and 560s, need something more neutral
r/iems • Best out of these as my first iem ??? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
