Frankly, quite impressed

These IEMS have a rather impressive sound stage. Instruments can be easily separated from tracks and definitely an upgrade from my airpods 2nd gen. However, looks quite different compared to preview

We're really happy that you have such great thoughts about the product and thanks for the amazing review!

Strong vocals and treble for crisp musical experience

I'm only starting to explore the hifi audio, i wanted to start with a balanced sound, hence the purchase.

This IEM specializes in the vocals and instruments frequency, they are tuned almost 10-15 db higher than the lows. Each instrument can be heard clearly, So it's a good choice for classical music or jazz. It's not recommended for bass heavy tracks as i found the trebles to be stronger than bass and it is not optimal experience.

The strong trebles were uncomfortable for listening some genres, Thanks to headphone zone exchange policy i could return the IEM.

Super Lightweight
Design

How do you pack 6 drivers per side, giving you mind-blowing sound? That's a challenge. But to do it at this price point? You can be easily fooled to believe it's a joke. There could be a Zero missing in the price. But that's KZ for you.
