Sound
Sound: “Driver X” dynamic driver
Each earpiece houses a single full-range dynamic driver that KZ calls Driver X, with a larger-diameter voice coil and a bigger neodymium magnet. According to the manufacturer, it delivers a wide soundstage, deep bass and extended treble.
With an impedance of 41 Ω and a sensitivity of 128 dB (±2), they run straight from a phone, laptop or music player, with no amplifier needed.
Versions
Tuning switches
Each earpiece has four switches. With all of them off it plays in standard mode; three add between 1 and 3 dB of bass and the fourth lifts the whole range. They are set with the tuning pin included in the box.
Design
Design and fit
The shell is cast metal alloy, polished and double electroplated.
Three pairs of silicone ear tips and three pairs of memory foam tips are included to get the right seal for each ear.
Connection
Detachable silver-plated 2-pin cable
The cable is silver-plated, with two parallel cores, and measures 120 cm (±5 cm).
It attaches to each earpiece with a standard gold-plated 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.
Also available with an in-line microphone.
