The difference is in the approach. The AS16 Pro X uses balanced armatures only; the ZAR is a hybrid that adds a dynamic driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"kz-box kz-box--resumen\"><p class=\"kz-box__title\">In short<\/p><ul><li>Both have <strong>8 drivers per side<\/strong>: 8 balanced armatures in the AS16 Pro X; 1 dynamic driver and 7 armatures in the ZAR.<\/li><li>In the <strong>ZAR<\/strong> the bass comes from a dynamic driver; in the <strong>AS16 Pro X<\/strong>, from a dedicated armature.<\/li><li>The <strong>AS16 Pro X<\/strong> is more sensitive (116 dB vs 109 dB).

There is no dynamic driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ZAR splits the work differently: an in-house dynamic driver handles the bass and seven balanced armatures handle the mids and treble. KZ tunes it with a U-shaped curve, meaning bass and treble are slightly raised relative to the mids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The practical difference is in the bass. A dynamic driver moves more air than an armature, which is why hybrids are usually chosen when you want more weight in that region. All-armature models are usually chosen for their definition in the mids and treble. The full explanation is in <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/earphone-driver-types\/\">our guide to driver types<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Volume and source<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both have a low impedance and work with any phone. The AS16 Pro X is rated at 116 dB of sensitivity, a very high figure: it plays loud at low volume, and on noisy sources, such as some laptop outputs, it can reveal a faint background hiss. The ZAR, at 109 dB, is less prone to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cable and versions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AS16 Pro X comes with a flat silver-plated cable; the ZAR, with an 8-core braided silver-plated cable. Both are detachable 2-pin cables, and both models are sold in black with or without microphone. Neither has tuning switches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prices<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"woocommerce columns-2\"><ul class=\"products columns-2\">\n<li class=\"product type-product post-28081 status-publish first instock product_cat-auriculares-hi-fi-audio-pro product_cat-kz product_cat-auriculares-multiples-ba product_cat-auriculares-estudio-escenario has-post-thumbnail taxable shipping-taxable purchasable product-type-variable has-default-attributes\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/kzcomponentes.com\/en\/product\/kz-as16-pro-x\/\" class=\"woocommerce-LoopProduct-link woocommerce-loop-product__link\"><div class=\"woocommerce-image__wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kzcomponentes.com\/en\/product\/kz-as16-pro-x\/\" title=\"KZ AS16 PRO X \u2013 16 Balanced Armature In-Ear Monitors with Flat Cable\" class=\"woocommerce-LoopProduct-link woocommerce-loop-product__link\"><div class=\"shoptimizer-plp-carousel-container\"><div class=\"shoptimizer-plp-image-wrapper\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/kzcomponentes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kz-as16-pro-x-negro-sin-microfono-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-woocommerce_thumbnail size-woocommerce_thumbnail\" alt=\"KZ AS16 Pro X black without microphone, pair of wired in-ear earphones\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kzcomponentes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kz-as16-pro-x-negro-sin-microfono-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kzcomponentes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kz-as16-pro-x-negro-sin-microfono-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/kzcomponentes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kz-as16-pro-x-negro-sin-microfono-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kzcomponentes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kz-as16-pro-x-negro-sin-microfono-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kzcomponentes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kz-as16-pro-x-negro-sin-microfono-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/kzcomponentes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kz-as16-pro-x-negro-sin-microfono-990x990.jpg 990w, https:\/\/kzcomponentes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kz-as16-pro-x-negro-sin-microfono-441x441.jpg 441w, https:\/\/kzcomponentes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kz-as16-pro-x-negro-sin-microfono-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/kzcomponentes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/kz-as16-pro-x-negro-sin-microfono.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 147px, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\n\t<\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class=\"woocommerce-card__header\">\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"product__categories\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kzcomponentes.com\/en\/product-category\/kz\/auriculares-hi-fi-audio-pro\/\" rel=\"tag\">Hi-Fi &amp; pro audio IEMs<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/kzcomponentes.com\/en\/product-category\/kz\/\" rel=\"tag\">KZ<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/kzcomponentes.com\/en\/product-category\/kz\/por-drivers\/auriculares-multiples-ba\/\" rel=\"tag\">Multi-BA<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/kzcomponentes.com\/en\/product-category\/kz\/auriculares-estudio-escenario\/\" rel=\"tag\">Musicians &amp; stage<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"woocommerce-loop-product__title\"><a tabindex=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/kzcomponentes.com\/en\/product\/kz-as16-pro-x\/\" aria-label=\"KZ AS16 PRO X \u2013 16 Balanced Armature In-Ear Monitors with Flat Cable\" class=\"woocommerce-LoopProduct-link woocommerce-loop-product__link\">KZ AS16 PRO X \u2013 16 Balanced Armature In-Ear Monitors with Flat Cable<\/a><\/div>\n\t<span class=\"price\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi>95,95&nbsp;<span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\" dir=\"auto\">\u20ac<\/span><\/bdi><\/span><\/span>\n<div id=\"wc-stripe-bnpl-shop-msg-28081\" class=\"wc-stripe-bnpl-shop-message\"><\/div><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/kzcomponentes.com\/en\/product\/kz-as16-pro-x\/\" aria-describedby=\"woocommerce_loop_add_to_cart_link_describedby_28081\" data-quantity=\"1\" class=\"button product_type_variable add_to_cart_button\" data-product_id=\"28081\" data-product_sku=\"897565-02-1-1-30\" aria-label=\"Select options for \u201cKZ AS16 PRO X \u2013 Auriculares in-ear de 16 armaduras y cable plano\u201d\" rel=\"\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-trp-gettext=\"\" data-no-translation-aria-label=\"\">Select options<\/a>\t<span id=\"woocommerce_loop_add_to_cart_link_describedby_28081\" class=\"screen-reader-text\">\n\t\tThis product has multiple variants.
