Crosszone CZ-1 3-Driver Dynamic Headphones - Unboxing / First Impressions / Review

[@sparfis]

Salutare! Does it compare to the Neumann NDH 20/30headset? I am looking for flat sound for mix/ H-master orchestra composition. Should I consider HiFi 3-way headset for that?

[@AudiophileHeaven]

Hiii, this works well for that, but may be too midrange forward Would consider hifinan Arya stealth if you want good mix / master headphone 🎧

I noticed a question about whether they leak a lot, and shockingly, the answer is actually no, they have closed enough to not leak that much. They are a semi-open design, so they will leak some, but not quite as much as Amiron. They aren't as quiet as something like MAster & Dynamic MH40 Wireless, or Ultrasone Signature DXP either.

Bismillah Great review thanks Is the imaging unique?

[@AudiophileHeaven]

@@halimj7 Always happy to help! The imaging and soundstage is not only unique, it is huge, outstanding really. I'm a big fan of the CZ-1 still, the overall sound is way closer to expensive horn-loaded speakers than it is to headphones

Audiophile Heaven Bismillah Thanks for your response. If I want a soft wide sound in a closed back form would you recommend I get these or use a tube amp to pair with another closed back (like the AKG N90Q for example)? Thanks so much.

@@halimj7 I recommend getting those for what you're looking for, they should satisfy you really well! :)

Interesting pair of headphones, really ugly one thou 😅. Sadly price is too high to take a blind shot and buy them

[@AudiophileHeaven]

Can totally understand, they are unique in their own madness
