KZ ZSN Pro in-Ear Earphones with Mic, 3.5mm Wired Earbuds Blue

My personal pet peeve is when I read a review that says "I literally got this item 5 minutes ago and it's the greatest thing ever!" I literally just got these and I am very new to audiophile stuff, I never knew there was this magical world of IEMs until I found Dankpods YouTube channel. For $26 I figured these where too good to be true. How could they possibly be better than my $200 samsung buds?! On first impression they are very well made, they don't feel cheap, the aluminum and translucent blue casing looks fantastic. The plastic reminds me of my old see through Gameboy and the electronics inside are beautiful. These buds are not afraid to show you what's under the hood. Almost like it's showing off the build quality. The cord is detachable (I didn't even know that was a thing) I always viewed wired buds as disposable but if something happens to the cord I can just get a new one. The cord itself is super soft and flexible almost like we'll broken in cord. Finally they sound fantastic, again I am not a seasoned audiophile but these absolutely curb stomp my $200 earbuds. Play around with your EQ until they sound perfect and beware that these can go loud enough to damage your hearing. I will revisit this review in about 6 months with a longer term review.

I have to say wow and I don't write many reviews but I had to on these. At first they were okay tinny highs and little bass, after tuning them on an equalizer wow. I brought up the lows and lowered the highs. The tinny noise went away and the bass is so alive now. I bought these as throw around earphones since they are cheap and was going buy earphones in the 100-200 range but after tuning them it feels like a waste to buy the high priced ones. Im going to save my money and stick with these very nice pair and very comfortable. Recommend for budget buyers that still want high end sound! Just make sure you know how to use an Equalizer I learned in like 30 min and tuned them to my desire.

These are fantastic for the price. $20 is great for such a stellar pair of IEMs. That being said, the little rubber bits are that you attach on the ends are floppy and cheap-feeling. Other than that, these IEMs feel great and sound incredible

The build quality and sound quality at this price point can't be beat. The modular design of the headphones and cable means if you dislike the cord or run over it with an office chair a few times and kill it, you can replace it without rebuying the whole item (that's eco-friendly too!). The company that makes these knows what they're doing. None of my other in-ear headphones fit in my ear's shape very well. That's no issue here because of the loops that hook onto the ear keep these perfectly in place. Does the loop hurt your ears or is is hard to wear with a mask on? Carefully remove the plastic from the cable and the problem is solved. Can't forget that it comes in a variety of nice colors. I really missed the clear plastic aesthetic of the late 90s and these match that style with a bit of modern flair. Even if you don't appreciate that two decades old look, people will only see the modern looking metal plating on the outside, so don't sweat it.

These are great so far but I do have one issue already having received them just today, and that is that the built-in mic is not great quality. It's okay, and better than cheap ones, but I was hoping that the mic would match the quality of the headphones. It doesn't. It's not bad in any way, don't get me wrong, but I wonder why they even bothered to make a version with a mic when they clearly paid no extra attention to that feature. Other than that they look, feel, and sound great. I would buy them again, but I will have to find another device for my singing apps. For talking and general stuff the mic does the job. So I wouldn't pass them up because of the mic.

These work great!

I've been looking for a good set of budget in-ear headphones for a while now. Based on the other reviews this seemed like a good fit. And yet... So, there are a few aspects that are important for my purpose - Sound quality: doesn't need to be great, especially considering ambient wind noise etc. but these do deliver on that front. In a typical indoor setting, sound is crisp and frequency response is definitely good even compared to some of the higher end devices. - Comfort over hours of continuous use. Long rides, daily use. Not so great. The smaller size tips dont provide the sound isolation that would be needed, and the larger size, while a better fit, is definitely uncomfortable for longer periods - with minimal improvement in noise isolation. No good trade off here - External noise isolation. These are not active noise cancellation devices, but (presumably) desinged for passive noise isolation through fit/material/etc of the tips. This is where they fail to impress. With little or no external noise, they're good. As soon as there's even a fair amount of it, the sound takes a nose dive, even with the volume cranked up. Too much interference to be of any good despite the great sound quality of the drivers. With good isolation design/materials, and lower profile housing, this could be a really nice set. Also, if you ride - getting the helmet on and off can be tricky and the depth / size of the drivers is such that it will tug at the ear, despite the over ear design and work it loose often. Got to give it a few tries to get it right which is unfortunate. The search continues...

I have been growing out my hair for sometime and while I love my Astro A40’s, I needed to switch for over the ear to ear bud. Upon doing my research, I kept seeing these headphones for gaming… And let me tell you they work! They take advantage of the Astro DAC so I get all my EQ’s and honestly, they sound better than the Astro! Also, using this with my PS5 was great sound as well! While it doesn’t have noise canceling technology the secure fit earbud tips do a great job of isolating any unwanted outside noise. Highly recommend this headset to anyone!!!

I use these for vocal performances and also for podcast interviews. Comfortable fit, great sound
