KZ Krila: hybrid in-ear monitors with adjustable tuning to start playing with IEMs
The KZ Krila are wired hybrid in-ear monitors: each earpiece combines a 10 mm dynamic driver with one balanced armature, and adds switches to adjust the tuning. Available in black, with or without a microphone.
They are designed for musicians who want to hear themselves clearly in rehearsal and on stage. They combine one dynamic and one armature per side and add switches to adjust the tuning: an affordable hybrid to start monitoring yourself with in-ear monitors.
They are worn with the cable over the ear so they stay put while you play, and the 2-pin cable is detachable: if it breaks, you replace the cable, not the earphones. By sealing the ear canal with the ear tips they reduce the noise of the rehearsal room, so you don't have to turn the volume up as much to hear your part. They plug into an IEM bodypack, the headphone output of the mixing desk or your phone through a 3.5 mm jack.

Design
Design and fit
The shell is resin and the faceplate is mirror-polished metal.
Memory foam ear tips are included.
Connection
Detachable silver-plated 2-pin cable
The cable is silver-plated 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.
Wireless mode with a Bluetooth adapter is for listening to music; to monitor yourself while you play, use the cable, which has no latency.
Also available with an in-line microphone.

KZ Krila frequently asked questions
Can they be used as in-ear monitors for playing live or in the rehearsal room?
Yes. Worn with the cable over the ear and with the right ear tip size, they reduce the noise of the rehearsal room. The usual setup is to plug them into an IEM bodypack that receives a send from the mixing desk, so each musician gets their own mix; you can also plug them into the headphone output of the desk.
And for listening to music or gaming?
Yes. Although we recommend them mainly for playing, they work just as well for listening to music on your phone or computer and for gaming. Wired, there is no latency.
Do the KZ Krila have noise cancellation?
They have no active noise cancellation. They are in-ear earphones with silicone ear tips, which passively block outside noise by sealing the ear canal.
Do they work with phones that have no headphone jack?
Yes, with a USB-C or Lightning to 3.5 mm jack adapter, or with a 0.75 mm 2-pin Bluetooth adapter.
Can the cable be replaced?
Yes. The cable is detachable and uses a standard 0.75 mm 2-pin connector.
What warranty do they come with?
3-year warranty against manufacturing defects, handled from Spain.
