Five technical details of the driver
- Four-layer voice coil, for a faster dynamic response.
- Precisely adjusted voice coil height, for smoother treble.
- Damping system that controls the mids and bass and keeps them from sounding muddy.
- Faceplate vent that corrects peaks in the upper treble.
- Internal volume compression, for clearer vocals.
Sound
Balanced sound
KZ describes a sound with deep bass, rich mids and smooth treble, with good transient response, low distortion and a wide soundstage.
The frequency response goes from 20 Hz to 40 kHz, with 24 Ω impedance and 105 ± 3 dB/mW sensitivity.
Design
Design and fit
The shell is polished for a smooth feel and has decorative metal panels without adding weight. They are worn with the cable over the ear and fit the concha of the ear with soft silicone ear tips.
Connection
Microphone and OFC cable
The microphone version includes a one-button remote on the cable:
- Single press: play or pause, and answer or end a call.
- Long press: reject a call.
- Double press: next track.
- Triple press: previous track.
The cable is parallel oxygen-free copper (OFC), 120 cm long (±5 cm), and connects with a gold-plated 0.78 mm 2-pin connector, so it can be replaced or swapped for a compatible KZ Bluetooth adapter that is compatible.
