Bass & Good ANC for $25 - KZ Carol | Review, Binaural Sound & ANC Tests, Call Samples

[@mikeevans7381]

I really appreciate the thorough testing of your reviews. It doesn't matter if a pair of earbuds cost 25$ or 200$ you give them the same amount of attention i respect that. Thank you from across the pond. 💯👌🇺🇸

[@ReganCipher]

Finding stuff that's cheap, good and surprises me is one of the most enjoyable parts of doing this, and getting nice feedback like this makes it worthwhile. Thanks man! 👍

[@thenewshoppingchannel]

Thanks for another excellent review, I might try them at this price

[@zigsyzo]

Another extraordinary review!

[@asan1050]

Thank you for this update

[@sylvan429]

really is wild the quality of your reviews, thanks♥️

[@ReganCipher]

Thank you! ❤️

[@John-q5y6o]

Thanks for another great review mate, including the eartip recommendation! I love discovering another solid budget ANC option.

[@John-q5y6o]

BTW, Q: why would anyone want ANC in single bud use? A: if one has complete hearing loss in one ear...like myself and my cousin!

[@ReganCipher]

Of course! No point using that second bud at all. Great point!

[@Alternate4444]

​​@@John-q5y6oReal. Makes sense that it would work like that. Like that ear won't even hear music or whatever, so no need for both earbuds.

[@goran3149]

Good and thorough review

[@trapbeatproducer]

Yes! I now know how to set up my light at my desk... brb... DONE! Continues watching video! The KZ Carol are cool af btw, I sell loads of them. A lot more than the KZ VXS Pro which I love but aren't compatible with every mobile phone (24 bit minimum and I found they glitch when walking outside, but the VXS Pro is perfect when sat at a computer producing music wirelessly). The KZ Carol sits at a simple 16 bit and most listeners don't need all that APT Active AXX nonsense, they just want a decent sound and a GREAT mic which the KZ Carol gives us. It is also my daily earbud of choice and I am a music producer.

Perfectly timed with your review, I just ordered a set of these from Aliexp for

[@ReganCipher]

Thank you! Enjoy - they're really grown on me, especially with the Feaulle eartips

[@philipm.4738]

Great detailed review as always! I actually got these a little while ago and they are great! Just plain fun to listen to. I also have the Moondrop Space Travels but they have major charging issues for me. So in spite of their decent sound quality, they aren't my go to's. These are🙂

[@_-Z-]

Thank you for another great review! 👍

[@Matthew_85k]

I'm glad you mentioned the fit because I was wondering if I'd get a general idea of how stem buds fit after getting these. Is there much of a difference in feel between these and the soundpeats capsules?

[@ReganCipher]

I'm generalising a little because every ear is different, but the Capsule series is definitely more suited to the average ear than the Carol, which seems to have been designed for ears that are on the larger side

[@arefj9194]

Hello, really nice video, I’m more towards moca now. I have a suggestion! Can you try in every video the tws with a better ear tip (like foam fore more isolation and better sound) and suggest which ear tip to get with every tws please?

[@ReganCipher]

Thanks! I do try and recommend tips where I can, but I can't use foam as they irritate my ears too much. The Feaulle ones I recommended in this video make a big difference though

[@arefj9194]

@@ReganCipher thanks for reply, i asked because so many people dont know which eartips can fit which tws. on reddit there are always people asking about this matter but i usually dont see anyone talking about this on yourtube or reviewrs of websites... now i want to buy moca but i dont know which foam eartips fits it? and there is no way to find it out...

[@philipm.4738]

@@arefj9194 The other issue I usually have is that once I get a pair of eartips that greatly improve the sound, the buds no longer fit in the case. So that's a factor too. With these Carols, the included large eartips fit me perfectly and sound fine🙂

[@credits_0732]

Always suggesting you the oneplus buds pro 3 since they apparently dropped in price lately. Awesome video anyway

[@ReganCipher]

Thanks! I ordered them from AliExpress a while ago but my order was cancelled 😕 I'll try and get them when I return the Samsung Buds 3 👍

yo compre los KZ carol por 13 dolares en Aliexprees

[@fow-t8f]

Heeey Regan, What is your top 5 tws ( 50-30 $) with button format? (Like t17 or JBL wave buds)

[@ReganCipher]

Most of the ones I've tested have a stern. I guess KZ Xtra, Soundpeats Engine4, QCY T17 and maybe Creative Sensemore Air? Alpha & Delta KS100 are pretty nice but way overpriced

[@fow-t8f]

@@ReganCipher Thank u Very much, master. What you think about edifier x3 lite? I Saw a squiglink of yours of it

[@ReganCipher]

Oh yeah they were alright I guess. Chuck them in the top 5 as well! 👍

[@fow-t8f]

@@ReganCipher the qcy ht07 is the same thing as qcy t17?

[@ReganCipher]

@fow-t8f no, the HT07 are bulky and don't sound very good 😕

[@M.H.A-Hussain]

Do you mind linking your sound quality, battery life,ANC and transparency league tables for buds under 100$?

[@ReganCipher]

I can't provide this right now unfortunately, because it's possible that I'll make it available as part of paid membership to the channel in the future. Sorry!

[@makii4772]

How does this compare against p30i? I just like bass lol

[@ReganCipher]

I have not tried the Soundcore unfortunately

[@yudheyuyu1213]

Dude you have the moondrop moca. Review them please

[@ReganCipher]

It's next, I just need to do a few more of the snippets of video

[@dimaskresna2079]

Kz carol or moondrop space travel? I need more information about sq and anc. I want to upgrade from my soundcore r 50i nc.

[@ReganCipher]

Watch the review, there's a whole section on the pros and cons of each and a sound and ANC sample for the Carol

[@nauccx660]

how's sound compared to Realme Buds Air 6 Pro? I just got the realmes and I feel like the treble gets a little hissy-ish due to the treble extension. I've set the EQ to "Clear Bass" in Realme Link App, which I think is probably the best EQ mode balancing between bass and highs. The volume on them feels slightly less loud than what it should be. I took the Golden Sound test but it feels they just boost the highs and a little bit of volume. Maybe its just me but Spatial Audio setting also seem to just boost the volume and nothing special.

[@ReganCipher]

I know what you mean about the treble. If you're treble sensitive the Realme do need a little tweak at 2kHz and 8kHz to soften them. I keep meaning to do a custom EQ for the Realme but finding the time is difficult at the moment. The Carol sound is actually fairly similar with ANC off - there's still a bit of brightness but vocals aren't as forward. Whereas the bass is fast and consistent on the Realme it's warmer and bleeds into the mids on the Carol. With ANC on, the Carol boosts the bass even more and recesses the mids so they sound much more energetic (although less musical) than the Realme

[@nauccx660]

@ReganCipher cool, I'll be waiting for that Realme custom EQ.
