KZ EDX vs KZ EDX Pro - What's the difference?

Here is my comparison between the KZ EDX and the latest KZ EDX Pro. They both have single dynamic drivers per side but the newer model is twice the price of the older EDZ model.

KZ is the weakest of Linsoul's excellent brands. I used to listen to them formerly, but now stepped up the game to the Blon and moondrop family. Nice to hear that KZ is upping their game. Maybe Ill return one day.

[@VortexReviews1]

KZ is not part of Linsoul as far as I am aware? Linsoul just sell and distribute them like any other store / seller. ZAS is my next video I am working on.

Which Moondrop did you already have?

[@radashommie7032]

I got edx pro cable too, and my mic stopped working after a month

[@T0ucan0]

Currently using trn mt1 and planning to upgrade can you suggest me some

[@SianaGearz]

My suspicion: identical driver, different nozzle grill. On the MT1 the grill is a two layer thing, the outer layer is a robust showerhead type thing and 1mm behind it, there's a super fine steel mesh, these two elements interact with each other and serve as a filter. There's a possibility that they copied that. Also there can always be sample variance, the way things are with these.

[@VortexReviews1]

I will check tomorrow if they have the same specs as in the impedance and sensitivity.
