Mids và Vocals

Mids of the KZ ZST PRO / KZ ZST Colorful are warm with a slight recession of their lower vocals but certainly not excessive as lớn make them sound distant or muffled. In fact, their lower mids and vocals sound quite good with good presence và energy & are not stepped over by mid-bass bleeding. Higher mids are clear and present too and can reach mildly harshy peaks at some occasions but to be sincere they are not terrible nor extremely frequent & only show up with very high pitch mid notes. With an EQ, lower mids and lower vocals sound much clearer and mở cửa with a clear removal of every trace of recession. Higher mids become harsh so it is better to not feed up higher mids frequencies with an EQ.

Highs & Treble

Highs of the KZ ZST PRO have some detail but most of all are noticeably bright. Some sibilance is present but in a tolerable degree, with strong peaks there can be piercing highs too. With an EQ, a substantial cấp độ of brightness is added & they become capable of resolving a welcomed extra quantity of detail. On the other hand, piercing highs và sibilance become much stronger & frequent.

Pros: Directly addresses lots of the original ZSTs weaknesses - Includes KZ's excellent new cable - Affordable
Greetings!Today we're checking out a modern update lớn a classic KZ.The original ZST was a landmark product và KZ's first foray into hybrid earphones. It inspired an entire segment of equally budget-friendly hybrid competitors, a market that today is alive & well, teeming with new models. Prior to the release of the ZST, fans of the brand had been relentlessly asking KZ lớn dip their toes into the hybrid market. The consensus seemed lớn be that KZ had no intention of doing so. Balanced armatures (BAs) were still too pricey, meaning their implementation would drive the price above the market KZ was dominating và comfortable in. Times have clearly changed. Hybrids are now KZ's bread và butter with pure dynamic based earphones being a rarity, their release outpaced even by pure-armature models.The ZST X revives the ZST name while also retaining key features and characteristics of the original; 1+1 hybrid, low profile shell, low price, & removable 2-pin cables. Is it a worthy successor to the landmark hàng hóa that was the ZST? Let's find out.

​
What I Hear

Treble is one area where the two differ most. Upper treble is pretty similar with both offering a decent amount of sparkle and air between notes. The ZST X's newer drivers do sound a bit smoother và more refined. Leading into the low treble is where the two separate, and the ZST X comes into it's own. The 4K rise of the ZST X brings in plenty of detail & clarity for a budget offering. The original ZST falls far behind in this regard giving listeners a lower resolution, more analogue-like sound. I also find the ZST X khổng lồ sound quite quick with a rapid attack and equally snappy decay.The mids of the ZST X are very crisp and coherent with a fairly equal representation for male & female vocals. Chú ý weight is moderate, with a more lean, moderately brighter sound than the original ZST. The ZST X has great clarity with a solid ability to lớn pull micro-detail. It is certainly a step up from it's predecessor which comes across overly smooth và lacking in fine detail in comparison. Timbre on neither is completely accurate with the ZST X having the advantage. While a cảm ứng bright, it is lacking the artificial edge pasted across most of the ZST's auditory spectrum.Bass on the two is very similar in terms of balance & linearity when transitioning from sub-bass regions và up into the lower mids. The ZST X's low kết thúc is even more elevated than the original ZST, bringing along with it additional texture. Lưu ý control is also quite good for a budget earphone with no sloppiness or bloat lớn speak of, except on tracks that are particularly mid-bassy. Extension is excellent with sub-bass notes providing plenty of physical feedback. The original ZST falls behind here too. The ZST X's ability lớn handle congested tracks is good, but tossing the rapid double bass common khổng lồ speed metal trips it up. The original ZST doesn't fall far behind. Texturing on the ZST X is also quite good but falls short of the best-in-class. The original ZST is overshadowed.When it comes khổng lồ sound stage the ZST X provides a decently spacious experience that keeps up with other products in this price range. I find the staging deeper than it is wide with excellent layering và good instrument separation. Imaging is quite satisfying with fairly nuanced channel-to-channel movement. They work fine for gaming, but I wouldn't reply on them for pinpoint accuracy. In comparison, the original ZST sounds a little wider but not nearly as deep. Its imaging is more vague và lacking the same cấp độ of accuracy. The ZST doesn't layer as well either, nor are instruments as well separated. Staging qualities are where the ZST truly shows it age và is most outclassed.Overall I find the ZST X to lớn be a pretty significant tăng cấp on a technical level. It's staging qualities are notably better và it's detail retrieval & clarity are vastly improved. That said, I quite enjoy the ZST's smooth sound và fairly relaxed presentation & can see some preferring it lớn the Xs more lively sound.
