Customer Reviews
The right unit , when it came had a small bump, didn't bother much as it was working but now it has stopped working and some connection seems to be lose inside the unit itself.
Help me headphone zone, it has been barely used for 2 hours yet !!!
Please issue a replacement as i cant get any warranty claim as i dont have any kz store in my area .
Fabulous quality for a very economical product. Very good quality cable ...
Blissful experience - thank you dude
This makes us really happy and we really appreciate the genuine feedback! We're glad that you have such positive thoughts about your purchase.
Very good sound bass is awesome ❤️🔥
Hey Sayak, thank you so much for your lovely review and we are glad you are enjoying it! Keep the music playing.
Excellent IEM, has a powerful sound as it has a large dynamic diver. The sound stage is wide, mids are just okayish, lows are elevated and has thumping bass with the sub bass rumble, it is more of a colored IEM with V shape curve, the clarity of the high frequencies is considerably good. Overall it is a great choice for all genres of music.
I hope I don't have to replace this under warranty. All my previous KZ have died within a year or 1.5
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you like the sound of the KZ-ZES. We recommend that you keep an eye on the warranty in case something goes wrong, but overall we're happy to hear that you're pleased with the product!
Good one but not better than kz zex the cheaper one in sound
We really appreciate the genuine feedback, we'll share your thoughts with the brand as well!
These are the best sounding earphones I have had till date. I was expecting them to be good but they have definitely exceeded my expectations for the price.
Hey Ripunjay, thanks a lot for this lovely review and we are glad you are enjoying it! Keep the music playing.
