KZ isn't for everyone, but its a nice set

[@N4tF0und893]

KZ ZSN my 1st IEM . the time that i just Enjoy Music without worrying about graph, tuning , technicality etc. good to see it again updated and improved

Yep, just a fun, high energy set. I have no issues with that style when its done well and at an affordable price.

[@palmatits1240]

Hi! Cool video. Which KZ set would you recommend for a guitarist for in-ear monitoring? Thanks!

[@Ajajambo]

Paul, superb in-depth review, I juts got these and I am blown away by the clarity and the bass. The air, omg I have never heard that before but now I understand what air means 😂 I wished their shall was a bit smaller a part form that cracking for the price.

[@PaulWasabii]

Now that you heard air, you are cursed to hear the lack of it. Not every set needs this much, but get familiar how it stimulates your ears.

[@Ajajambo]

@@PaulWasabii just out of curiosity I purchased the ZSN Pro X to compare with the pro 2. You are spot on, the refinement however, I personally think the X sound fuller with definitely a stronger bass. I think the pro shine in the clarity of the mids. The pro X seems more pleasant at lower volume. Having said all of this. I think both are great. To be honest when using these IEM with my S22 ultra with wavelet set to DUNU DK3001 pro the sound jump to another stratosphere 😂

[@emanuelserpa]

Not for me anymore but I like that they maintained the identity of ZSN, just more refined.

[@PaulWasabii]

Correct, the tuning goes back to where many of us started, new drivers, more refinement on the peaks that were present back in those days.

More so on the Aune maybe, its 10db but will soak up some extra if the amp is putting it out there.

[@user-mv6de3sc8g]

As far as we can see from the response graph, compared to the first generation, the frequency at which nonlinear (uncomfortable) vibrations of the DD begin has shifted significantly to higher frequencies.

[@SpacedOutDoonie]

I watched this new show called Ripley using the ZSN Pro 2 with stock eartips. It was oddly satisfying. The way the ZSN Pro 2 complimented that show was incredible. Ripley is a masterpiece. The pacing, the story, the camera work, imagery, the acting is so good. IDK what it is, if its cuz the show is in black and white and does something to the sound (amplifies the perception of sound), or if they mixed it very well, or cuz the ZSN Pro 2 has elevated treble thats kinda unique that made it such a good match for that show but it was just so satisfying. Highly recommend the show and the ZSN Pro 2.

[@PaulWasabii]

Ironically I don't use IEMs for movies or TV unless I am traveling. I use it as a break. But glad you are enjoying them

[@rustyshakelford1466]

ZSN Pro 2 were the first KZ hybrid I thought was actually worth listening to, it sounds very good for the price, it impresses me more than even the Castor. It doesn't sound as good as a 1+1 with a proper knowles but KZ has gotten so good with their DDs it doesn't matter that much.

[@PaulWasabii]

Right, KZ always has a BA or tuning thing that takes it away from sounding like other brands. But their BAs have come a long way from the original ZSN

[@wahid-lg1kk]

@@PaulWasabii In the long run, this is better, they develop their own methods, and can be more unique in the marketplace.

[@wahid-lg1kk]

Now I have to get this one, before buying the zs10 pro x.. What you are talking about, speaks to the parameters of my hobby, which focuses on sets with amazing performance and technicalities for the price. I want cheap stuff that blows me away.. Last time that happened was with KZ Pr2..

[@PaulWasabii]

With KZ, it is hard to triage the sets that do something different from a refinement of another set. ZSNP2 is different with the linear DD. Will we see that one again, probably so keep an eye out.

[@flexyofacechase1786]

I've had this for the last 3 nights and I reach for it way more than my Castor set or my ZS10 Pro set. Paul, what other sets do this but better if any? I thought I was a bass head until I heard this level of resolution and wide stereo image, it has me very intrigued. Do you think the AS16 Pro is at all similar or not at all?

[@PaulWasabii]

Hang on, don't go chasing unicorns. ZSN Pro 2 is special as I said, the drivers they picked are kinda special and they haven't released another set with them yet. I would advise against going back in time, just let KZ celebrate New Year and see what they do afterwards. They dropped that set and if it was any other time of year, you would see those drivers somewhere else. For now, enjoy it, it was a bargain for what it is. AS16 Pro is a cool set, but unless you have too much money, just enjoy ZSNP2 for a while.

[@anatol1204]

I bought it because i can easily eq the 8khz pick with my adroid phone eq.Hope after eq it retains the air..Nice review

[@PaulWasabii]

KZ left lots up upper treble there beyond 8k and you are going to hear it immediately if you tamper with the air. They left it high to show off their BA extension which they have done before, but not balanced enough with bass.

[@anatol1204]

@@PaulWasabii better to put a damper?yeah I will try this too thanks Paul 👍

[@m_yy_m]

Excellent! I'm ordering them out of curiosity. I don't have any of the old KZs... Very curious about the stage. :) Is this a low volume set like the OH10? Btw, my AS16 Pro and Fudu arrived. Both very nice with minor EQing. Thanks for the recs! 💪 The FUDU are the most source variable set I've tried. What kind of dongle DAC do you recommend for them? Thanks

[@PaulWasabii]

As I said the stage will be kinda variable on your brain, but its a lot of air so it will do something interesting. Yes, Fudu was a tips and source thing. I went the opposite, open bore tips and I used the Divinus, and a flatter source, doesn't matter what it is, but I didn't want to add warmth. Try a couple and see what direction you want to go with it. Generally adding warmth covered some detail so I went the other way, but that might be your preference.

[@m_yy_m]

Thanks @@PaulWasabii 🙏

[@BoredGeese]

Is this a good upgrade from the KZ ZS5? I really want the V-shaped profile that it has. Would you recommend this or something else? Thanks!!

[@PaulWasabii]

Yes, but it has been a while since the ZS5. KZ doesn't tune sets like that now, but ZSNP2 is about as close as it gets for now.

[@taidee]

The ZSN Pro original was the only IEM that had sibilance at a level I couldn't tolerate, and generally like treble.

[@PaulWasabii]

Correct, that is why I mentioned sibilance a few times. They didn't really address it as they tweaked the lower treble and left the rest up there out to the edge of your hearing.

[@archturche]

Hello. First of all thanks for your review. I am between buying this and ZSN Pro X. Which one should i buy? I have used EDX PRO before and i want to experience hybrid driver. I will use it mostly for listening to music but also use it while playing my electronic piano etc. I listen to EDM mostly btw

[@PaulWasabii]

ZSN Pro 2 is better unless it is significantly more money. Casual listening, you are fine with either but ZSNP2 would be my EDM pick

[@gercollins1520]

Hi Paul. Is this set superior to the brilliant Castor Harmon? That was a colossus of an iem for 15 euro.

[@PaulWasabii]

I would say no for a simple reason, a 1DD is going to get you a more natural sound. Pro 2 with a BA leans into the BA so why I said it might fit hobbyists more. The best option is to own both so you can hear the difference, but generally I wouldn't say one is better than the other, just different and good at their own styles.

[@wreckingpress7080]

Got mine maybe a week ago to replace zsn pro set that had a connector die. The bass is much cleaner and the treble isn't as shrill.

[@RohanGupta_LP]

What would you prefer between ZSN Pro 2 and Moondrop Chu II? I got my ZSN Pro few days back and the bass sounds a little flat. I listen to Rock, Metal, Indie, Pop, EDM, HipHop so a balanced sound would make more sense i guess?

[@PaulWasabii]

For the most part, Chu 2 and ZSNP2 have the same bass level. ZSNP2 might be a little brighter in the upper treble which tends to cover the bass a bit but sounds more energetic, engaging. Sometimes low bass or flat bass is a fit problem. Try the largest tips and push them slightly in your ear and see if it changes before spending money on a new set.

[@ansonfernandes4937]

Hey Paul, I'm fairly new to IEMs and had the KZ ZEX for a while now, what will be a good upgrade on that?

[@PaulWasabii]

ZEX was an odd one, KZ really didn't use that style tuning again. ZSN Pro 2 or ZS10 Pro 2 or CCA Polaris get you up to modern KZ sounds. Pick the one that looks cool or cheapest to ship to you.

You’ll hear Paul sing praise of any iem once in a blue moon so this has to be a no brainer. 🎉

True, as I said, you might still hate it but I do like it. A bit of a throwback and a bit of new drivers doing their thing.

[@andrewleong7613]

for listening to live guitar, which budget IEM do you recommend? Im guessing should be neutral tuning right?

[@PaulWasabii]

The gist of your question is personal to you, how you like to listen to guitar. ZSNP2 is really sharp, detail oriented, perhaps less natural and not neutral. KZ will occasionally do a neutral bass shelf like D-Fi with switches, but neutral budget used to be owned by Tinhifi and T2. That is like asking for the most detailed set, that doesn't correlate to what most people prefer. You mostly need to figure out what you like and go from there.

[@GameShoww]

Hello Paul. For bass without much distortion, do you recommend kz ESX or ZSN PRO 2? Hugs from Brazil.

[@PaulWasabii]

ESX was an interesting driver but KZ never really improved upon it. ZSNP2 is something new, a higher quality driver. I would also wait if you can, typically KZ comes out with multiple sets with similar drivers, so I am waiting to see another set with ZSNP2's DD.

[@GameShoww]

I usually prefer the modern versions, newer, tighter, less harsh drivers and tuning. ZS10 Pro X is probably their #3 most popular set every, its way up there in sales and use around the world. I'd get ZSNP2 to try something a bit different but ZS10PX is seriously a very popular model.

Great review.. you explained every damn thing so well.. I just had a small question. I own zsn pro x nd l loved it as it was my first IEM. Will zsn pro 2 be worth a try? How is it compared to zsn pro x in terms of soundstage nd technicalities? Will this be an upgrade to zsn pro x? Hope I get a reply from you.. thanks in advance..

[@PaulWasabii]

ZSNP2 is a modern take on it, similar sound, better drivers, better tuning methods. Technically better as ZSNPX is older at this point. To be honest, if you can't hear a difference after buying ZSNP2, stick with it for a few months and then compare. Sometimes you just need more experience or more time. Too many people buy a set and then turn around and buy another without getting used to the first one.

Correct, this might be the first throwback tuning on new drivers and new tuning method. D-Fi and even Polaris don't resemble the older tuning so yeah, ZSNP2 is closer the V shape of ZST and I still have one somewhere.

I actually think KZ holds a few of the million+ spots. ZSN Pro and ZS10 were both there.

[@MiroslavHundak]

Guilty pleasure is appropriate term alright. I think I have 10+ KZ sets (counting CCAs) in the drawer and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Way back when I was discovering IEMs, I got seriously burned on Shure. I bought SE 215, which was fine, but then I though "more money, more music" and splurged on SE 535. Oof, not saying 535 is terrible, but it was very disappointing to say the least. So I went in a review rabbit hole and found KZs. My first and still favourite is KZ ZS10 Pro. I think I'm gonna order ZSN Pro 2, just because, but if the current trend continues I'm really hoping for ZS10 Pro 2 (I think there's an X version, but that was a while ago now).

[@adamtchorzewski6961]

hi, Im still looking for an reasonable upgrade (in price) for my KZ ZS10 Pro. I have not tried much IEMs but the new Harman tuning seems to be not my type. I tried the KZ ZVX but they lack the fun/engaging part compared to KZ ZS10 Pro. I like the V shape tuning of KZ ZS10 Pro, Im considering the CCA rhapsody as they have switches and seems to be V shaped. Have you found any upgrade for your KZ ZS10 Pro?

[@MiroslavHundak]

@@adamtchorzewski6961 For the past year I've been using 7Hz Timeless AE, but they go for $200+, so they're not really in the KZ category. Some people don't like the sound of planar magnetic drivers as they can come off as harsh and unforgiving for poorly mastered music. If you don't mind that though, KZ has their own planar models. There's a new KZ PR3 out now, though I still prefer the tuning on KZ x HBB PR2. Both sets go for around $50, or less if you catch them on sale. Planars also respond well to EQ-ing, if you're willing to experiment.

[@PaulWasabii]

Well done V-shaped sets are my guilty pleasure. I get that most reviewers will never rank them high, but ZS10 Pro is legendary for a reason. And yes there is an X, but still not with modern KZ techniques and drivers. Will have to wait a bit for an update there.

Yeah KZ has lots of sets with similar tuning as they were hovering around the Harman target. ZVX wasn't my thing, I don't think they got the shell right which is why you haven't seen a similar one used again. Pro 2 is a better set with a not as cool looking shell.

Ironically I asked KZ if they would re-visit the ZEX. KZ has not put out another set with a similar sound. It is not a typical KZ set. It isn't a popular sound style either so its hard to find a replacement. If you want to know what a modern KZ sounds like, check out CCA Polaris. Cheap set and that sounds great.

ZSNP2 is a hard one, it is a bigger V shape..sort of. It pokes some upper treble energy which is different. I wouldn't call it a straight upgrade to Castor.

A long time ago. KZ is always improving drivers and refining tuning so there is typically a benefit to upgrading, but it is going to be subtle or not a night/day improvement.

[@UJThakur]

For ZSN PRO X, is reducing 2db for both 4k and 8k in EQ the right way to fix the harsh, sharp treble with shrill and sibilance? Or is there any better method? tbh after this tune, I went from slightly dissatisfied to super pleased experience. But I wonder if I did anything that would mess the details or overall sound quality.

Once you start EQ'ing, that is your experience. If it sounds better or you enjoy your set more, that is what matters. For me, it is closer to 5k. Sets that have a 5k peak are harsh to me

Can you compare it with kz zex . Tell which one is s better

They are very different. ZSNP2 is called a V-shaped sound, a lot of bass and treble. This is more energetic sounding, works on pop music well or anything where you want more bass. Zex is a bit of the opposite, more relaxed sound.

My opinion, yeah, ZSNP2 is tuned like older KZ, but the newer drivers are tuned differently now. And the DD is better in ZSNP2. If you haven't tried a more modern KZ, then yeah, the price is right and its not radically different.

[@ColinHopperRevival]

I own both and the ZSN Pro2 is definitely similar to the Zs10 Pro X, however to my ears have a more detailed highs, perhaps too much for some folk, but a richer midrange and similar bass.

[@rishi8447]

Are they good for gaming?

[@PaulWasabii]

Sure, but most people gravitate to 7hz Zero. Cheap and leaner bass.

[@juntars3543]

Is this sweat proof?

[@PaulWasabii]

Most IEMs are not sweat proof because there is usually a mesh filter on the nozzle that may absorb moisture. No guarantee it will or will not happen but if so, you will hear one side's volume dip as moisture builds up.

[@dilshad3490]

Is it better than KZ ZSN pro ??

[@PaulWasabii]

More of an update using modern KZ drivers and tuning style. If you like ZSNP, then stick with it, its not a radical change.

[@nachooos2506]

Is it good for gaming?

[@PaulWasabii]

Yeah, this or 7hz Zero which is also very popular for gaming.

[@nachooos2506]

@@PaulWasabii Thank you, I appreciate your response.

[@playchaos4201]

This or Chu 2?

[@PaulWasabii]

Chu 2 wasn't my favorite so I'd take ZNP2

[@souvicksarkar5907]

is it only me or it kinda looks similar to moondrop chu 2??

[@PaulWasabii]

Little bit

[@VSN-wb2ly]

kz needs to stop boost the upper frequency, but at least they're improving

[@PaulWasabii]

Part of me says this is true, part knows that they do it intentionally to show off their single BA extension. Do they need to over-do it, no, it would be fine with a few less db.

How the hell are you supposed to identify left ear and right ear? The wire is transparent and no L/R to be seen... Regretting my purchase already.

[@PaulWasabii]

There is always a L & R on connector. But to be honest, if you get it reversed, it works fine. Eventually you will notice the drums or something are on the wrong side so you swap it. www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_stereo.php

[@rajabehal6871]

Thanks to @maxulic for asking the question and @paul Wasabii answering it. It helped me a lot.

[@guardiankitt3848]

KZ ZSN PRO X or KZ ZSN PRO 2 which is more better?

[@PaulWasabii]

The cheaper one but ZSNP2 is modern drivers and tuning
