Sound
Sound: dynamic driver
Each earpiece houses a single dynamic driver with a diaphragm of about 5 microns, a four-layer copper and aluminum voice coil and a magnetic gap of about 0.15 mm. KZ gives it a balanced tuning, with a smooth transition between bass, mids and treble.
With an impedance of 14 Ω (±3) and a sensitivity of 110 dB (±3), they run straight from a phone, laptop or music player, with no amplifier needed.
Design
Semi-open design
The shell is hypoallergenic resin and the faceplate has a metal cover with a semi-open design.
Fit
Fit
They are worn with the cable routed behind the ear. Three sizes of silicone ear tips (S, M and L) are included to get the right seal for each ear.
Connection
Detachable flat 2-pin cable
The cable is flat high-purity oxygen-free copper and measures about 120 cm.
It attaches to each earpiece with a standard 0.75 mm 2-pin connector, so it can be replaced if damaged or swapped for another cable. The same connector lets you go wireless with a KZ Bluetooth adapter that is compatible.
