KZ - ZVX Pro

https://preview.redd.it/gp9lmlaipzke1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed7992464e968d9e2304d33e802bef2deaf698da Yeah but the paint they used is bad, only problem in my experience though

Under $10 the best is the KZ EDC PRO (edx pro is another iem), use it with Kbear 08 eartips. In Aliexpress (sometimes using coins) you can get for $8-15 the ND planet, KZ Castor Pro/OG, KZ Libra Balanced/Hi res/X, KZ Saga balanced/bass, KZ ZVX pro, all of them have good reviews and comments. The Kbear 07 and 08 eartips are good for them.

How have you been guys. Today, I'm going to review kz- zvx's follow-up, ZVX PRO. As you know, zvx was a huge hit at launch. I've witnessed several reviews saying "this iem shocked me" hmm.. so I bought it. It wasn't a price to think about for a long time. However, my experience with zvx wasn't very impressive. The high notes were too aggressive, the imaging was pretty good..but not very detailed. Of course, it was good for a five-dollar bill. Though it wasn't enough for me. And, the follow-up zvx pro I bought for $15 completely blew away my old experience. To help you understand, let's score S to D for each area of the iem. (B means at least average for price) Components: Typical KZ components. Not good for the price. Score - D Design: It's a design that immediately reminds me of og zvx. The difference is that it's more of a glossy texture. It's similar to the black version. It's a full metal shell, so it looks durable. The shell is small, and I like the fit. Score - A Bass: The bass is quite firm, and responsive. It doesn't just reverberate, it's easy to feel the texture. A good bass. Not suitable for Basshead, but it's never small in quantity. Score - A+ Mid: The vocal is not buried by the sound of instruments. If you concentrate, you can even hear the vocal's breathing sounds. Score - B Treble: Wow, the high notes are hardly tiring, and they are also firm and have a good tone. The vocal chisel is low. The air is also enough Score-A+ Instrument representation: The drum sounds are fun without being too sharp. Rumble is easily captured. The texture of the electric guitar is good. The texture of the bass guitar is good, too. The symbol spreads out slightly and is expressed nicely. Score - A Details: It's quite detailed for the price. It's a significant upgrade point from the Og version. Score - A Imaging: Imaging of the Zvx pro is literally the best. I can't find anything better at this price point. No doubt, the best thing about this product. Score - S Resolution: It has a good resolution for the price. For comparison, it's better than the kz saga and below the castor pro. If it's still not too complicated a track, it's easy to handle. Score - B+ Soundstage: Not as wide as like Castor pro harman, but it's easily acceptable at this price point. No complaints. Score- B In general, I chose the zvx pro as the "most valuable to buy" iem of the current Kz iems. (There's only a few of them on the list.) I've got so few iem in this price range that have this balanced yet robust sound. I highly recommend it for those who want to stay true to the basics and even experience surprises.

I already wrote a zvx pro review

KZ is at its best when they shoot for a more neutral sound, the ZVX pro is one of my all time fave KZ budget sets. I got mine for 7 bucks new, that’s a steal.

Ya just get the cable and if you want more bass get kz Saga, still clear mids and treble.. If you want better clarity extension and soundstage get new KZ ZVX Pro, many people here hate KZ, but these are the best value for money propositions on the market right now in the budget sector. Truly perform way above the price point. Kz has a new driver and new tuning guy, and they fired the old marketing manager, so improvements are coming quickly.

I am starting to think the driver has been changed for a cheaper one. Everyone who reviews this, besides the reviews when it first came out, describes a totally different sound to what I have. Mine was bought when it first came out, and is phenomenal. It's very hard to believe that I paid $14 for it, it's insane value for money. It's very clear, well controlled bass, very tight, quick, accurate, but not great quantity, the mids are open and textured with medium note weight , and the treble has great extension, cymbals and high hats sound natrul with natural attack and decay, soundstage is very good, very open. All in all it's very natural sounding and kills classical and jazz, but can be used for anything, bearing in mind it's a little light on mid bass.

You need to put a good cable and good tips or they don't sound very good. You need to review it after doing that, and giving it time to burn in. It's essentially perfect once set up right. One of the best I own at any price.

Oh that's what's going on. Mine is fabulous, it's a really great IEM, and a super bargain for the price. If it said moondrop on the box, o one would complain at $60.

Or, I don't know, just get a balanced cable and good eartips and burn it in properly? Blows away a any of the other 20 dollar stuff. If you get the original. This is a problem with KZ. Make it perfect, then revise it and ruin it.

If they sound good, reccomend them. Who cares about the company, you aren't getting married to it.

Inferior drivers. You will run up against its limits pretty quick. Two months max.

Over time these sorts of differences become bothersome, because, knowing kz, they have tuned an inferior driver to sound like ZVX. You will hear it over time and be dissapointed.

Kz ZVX Pro or PRX for a planar, these are simply brilliant sets. Stomp all over Cadenza.

For balanced sound on a budget, KZ ZVX PRO, TRN MT5 (brighter neutral) Tripowin Vivace (bassy neutral) Truthear Gate, Tanchjim Bunny DSP (the usb c dsp gives it custom tuning presets) or Tanchjim Zero Ultima. A lot of good options, look into the accessories, looks, and tuning on [squig.link](https://squig.link) to figure out which ones right for you.

KZ ZVX PRO for 15$ is insane, or like other guy said EDC PRO/SGOR Venus for less than 10$ if u just wanna try ur first Iem.

Bro, I'm totally with you in your review of this iem, maybe it can share driver with other iems, but is another beast, an impressive iem who is punching above its price.

Is a 4.4 mm balanced plug, doesn't have a gnd in common, is for more power delivery, that ZVX pro don't need it, but I'm using it so...

Kz Zvx pro, kz zsn pro 2, cvj night elf, kz vader highres, trn v10 pro, trn v90 pro... The mt5 is all but analytical, is a reshell of the Orca but bad tuned lol.

I bought mine (ND planet) a few days ago so I'm waiting it to arrive the next week maybe?, the Orca is very capable in technicalities, but is not better than the V10 pro in this aspect, ZVX pro is a beast in technicalities maybe trading blows with the Vader HighRes (but the Vader is just in another league, is almost 90% of the CCA Hydro), maybe on pair with the V90 pro and Nightelf, and the ZSN pro 2 is perhaps the only on pair with the Orcas, but with a little more stage and imaging. Btw, i love my Orcas, and i hate my mt5, i know I'm crazy but whatevs ahaha. Cheers mate!

In this price range i think the 7hz Zero 2, KZ ZVX Pro, KZ Vader Balanced, CCA Trio and other gems, the 7hz is a conditional rec, is not for beginners, umm, the KZ ZSN pro 2 is also a nice rec. I think the BL03 II punches above its price, is trading blows with my Inawaken Dawn ms an Kefine Klean, is a iem who worth its price. The other color offered is clear silver, is beautiful. The DUNU dtc480 is driving even my hungry planars so well... Of course is more than enough for the BL03 II, the cirrus logic chip is excellent, the sound it produces is uncolored, so natural, so faithful to the music, is a very analytical dac/amp

Kz zvx pro but they are a little above

Yeah, zvx pro is miles better in sound build quality than ccz. Or just get chu 2 or waner 2

It would recommend KZ Libra X (silver one) or KZ ZVX if you want something in that direction. Both have fairly balanced tuning and decent bass. Kz castor harman have clean bass that is nice if that what you want. But if you want fun punchy rumbly bass, this aint it. Or get KZ Castor pro bass for good quality fun bass but still not overwhelming like the og castor bass.

I have the OG ZVX in silver (not the revision) and the Pro in black. These are two KZ IEM’s I will keep until they stop working.

Dunu titan s2 or Dunu kima 2 is what I think suits your preferences. Titan s2 has good bass with textural qualities. Mids on kima 2 are more pronounced but smoother than s2. S2 has better dynamics overall and is more of a fun sound. Both have very good timbre but kima feels more natural. Hexa is more of a neutral mid range iem, it lets you observe the sound but not necessarily feel the bass defintion. I didnt really like s08, planar bass is more of a wave feeling motion and the tuning was too neutral. Nova lacks in the bass punch feel but everything is kind of smooth on it while having good vocals. Fudu is decent but the air roll off kind of is a dealbreaker for me. On a random side note you should look into kz zvx pro, it has very clean bass shelf without it feeling lacking. I know its in the budget but the tuning on it feels so technical for its price. It doesn't lack anything the staging, imaging, and layering all sound great. It blends musicality with good technicaity and I can say it rivals alot of $80 or under pairs.

Dude these beat my ea500lm and that's not an overstatement. I have the ZVX Pro its just not even close to the Zenith this is the best KZ set out there bruh, they call it their flagship. It literally has their name in their name funnily enough - that should say something.

I just bought a set of these to use on my dj controller and noticed 2 things, first of all they don't come with the braided/twisted cables in all the pics and also when I plug them in there's a noticeable amount of noise and noone seems the mention that. Is that because it's expected at that price or because noone else is having that same experience?

For some reason i'm not getting notifications so didn't realise you'd replied to me. Thanks for responding. First off i don't have any other iems and i apologise but its the KZ ZVX PRO X iems I have. this is my first set so nothing to compare to. I usually DJ with a pair of Pioneer HDJ-X5's which are conciderably more expensive so I don't know if im expecting too much from these. If I plug the iems into the headphone output on both my speakers and my dj controller I can hear static in the background, nothing crazy and any audio will drown it out but still, it's there unlike my Pioneer headphones.

Can't argue with that really. Love my zvx and both castor bass an castor bass pro.

I love the 7HZ Zero but I feel like I could only recommend them to someone who already has a bit of experience with bright IEMs. I would recommend you to start Tangzu Wan'er or its studio edition. They are more of a completely neutral or neutral warm sound. If you want something fully warm without many treble Tachjim Bunny is a good option.Finally, if you want a good IEM with a V-shaped sound, I recommend KZ Saga Bass, KZ ZVX Pro or KZ Libra Balanced.

I've recently looked into KZ ZNA, ND PLANET and KZ ZVX PROs They all seem like good options to me since I was quite content with basic ZVX as I tend to EQ usually but which one would you recommend? I tend to switch from ZS10 PRO 2 to ZVX from time to time as I like the clarity, details and soundtage of ZS10 PRO 2 and the deep saitisfying punch of the ZVX I was looking for something that would combine these two into one and hope to not muddy up the sound People have recommended AFUL explorers but they're quite a bit over my budget hence I'm curious which of these would be better, I was even debating on Aoshida E20s as well If you could recommend something else I'm all ears (no pun intended).

Yes, I have looked over the Castor Pro Bass for quite a while now and I'm completely fine with the pricing, I might just get two instead of one since I simply cannot decide which one to get lol The ZVX PRO seems nice due to it's price to performance single DD and I've heard a lot of good things about the Castor Pro Bass Both are the same price which is why I'm thinking of getting both at this point. I'm fine with EQing stuff either way so the easier they can handle it the better, driving them is also not an issue since I'm using an LG V20.

I've used the following models with success on stage and rehearsals (I play the drums): ZVX, ZS10 Pro X, Libra, Krila, Vader. At least the first two are sensitive enough to go loud even with a wimpy amp. Like you I previously used Shure 215's (and 315's). For years. And any of the models I mentioned sounds better to my ears.

The fact that lots of people but kz IEMs, is not proof of their good quality. Just shows that there is a market , with lots of customers who like budget priced products. My KZ ZVX is no longer usable, the left ear is so much louder than the right ear. My KZ Polaris, sounds like junk right from the day I received it. Could be a manufacturing error. I should have returned them, immediately. Two strikes. The moment I got the Artti T10, it opened up a whole new world of what a good quality IEM could sound like. Sure the KZ's may sound ok, but most people are either not knowledgeable or do not have enough experience with a variety of products to know the difference. Once you hear better, you cannot unhear it. I could still buy another KZ or CCA IEM, but at least now, my expectations will be more reasonable and I will not be expecting them to be too fantastic

I have bought 3 KZ/CCA IEMs. 1. KZ ZVX 2. CCA CRA (2023 revision) 3. KZ Polaris. The Polaris was a complete piece of junk, terrible sounding. Within 2 days, the paint on the ZVZ was peeling. Within a few months, an imbalance in volume on the ZVX has made them unusable, cos one side is so much louder than the other. Buying KZ/CCA is a bit of a gamble. Finally none of them fit properly in the ear, to provide a good seal, with the stock eartips that are supplied with their IEM's. Which also has a negative impact on their sound, a bit of a tame bass in the lowest frequencies. Advantage though, is that the poor attenuation means it's easy to have conversations with their IEM's in one's ears.!!

KZ, CCA metal builds at that price point. Maybe the Saga, though I personallly will rec The ZVX Pro.

First time I feel like living with deaf ear when I tried chinese IEM for fun. It turns me into audiophile for a while. KZ EDX then ZS10 Pro, now Zex Pro. First two less than rm100 on shopee. Got other brands with match quality sound and price but only tried KZ. Tried alot of ear/headphone at same price range. Meh. Even airpod/buds hardly match with details I used heard to.
