Hello, I have a question. It's my first time to encounter this type of earphones. And I would like to ask if it's both plug in and bluetooth earphones? Cos I saw that the cable can be removed. Thank you :)

Thanks idol, I've been waiting for this review, more power to you!! And good luck on your new channel

[@zpolt]

Thanks man! Glad you liked it

[@thexastray1016]

Coming from kz zsn pro, i agree what u said in the review. Kz zst x have more bass and less "vocal" for me.

[@nebula3084]

I always trust your reviews, thank you so much!

[@Y0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0ow]

Do an audio comparison between ZST X vs ZSN Pro X. Visually, Pro X's build looks better but I wanna hear the difference in audio.

[@DrAdityaReddy]

Yeah I wanted to see that too

[@Tiznado]

I got the cyan colored version zstx’s & are my first pair of iems, I paired them with a k3 fiio dac. This is the first time I’ve been able to hear the detail in artists lips smacking while singing. Audio on a budget, I’m glad I got these!

[@alcatraz4198]

Have you tried the aptx hd cable for zst X?

[@Tiznado]

@@alcatraz4198 I have not, what are they for?

[@alcatraz4198]

They are for wireless connection, no need to plug in your cable anymore.

Just what I've been waiting for! Thanks zpolt!

[@shovondas175]

I can't decided which for I go!!! Kz zsn pro/Kz Zst x??? Sound quality and durability are the main prefarances... Thanks in advance...

[@mobymurdock6242]

zst x definitely

[@owampis1268]

kz zsn pro

[@owariran4496]

Just tried kz zsn pro x. I could approve that it's an upgrade zsn pro. The only one thing making the difference is zsn pro x more bright than zsn pro and the vocal sound on zsn pro x mainly female voice is much better.

[@lancebebero5939]

Yes, finally, been waiting for this♥️♥️

[@leooloya169]

Hey @zpolt. Good day. In terms of sheer bass quantity, which is more between this and the ES4. I love the ES4 a lot because of its bass, warmth and how lush it sounds(relaxed). Does the Zstx sound similar? Thanks

[@thatguyreiji1045]

Answered my question...Thanks for the review and answer man...Will be giving the BLONs a go.

[@niceeone5905]

I have my ZSN Pro right now and getting the ZST X soon. I'll try which one I'd like more. I find the ZSN Pro a bit too bright at times and it is fatiguing. As you mentioned in the video, the ZST X is less fatiguing so I think that's very interesting. I am a basshead too so it seems that I'll love the ZST X.

[@holy_banana_bread]

did u already got to try zst x?

[@mishiro6170]

so which one did you like more?

[@JonnyMorgan18]

I had the ZSN Pro (sold) and have the ZSN Pro X and ZST X. The ZSN Pro X literally gives me a headache so I can't use it unmodded at all. I don't know what frequency range causes it because I'm not treble sensitive. The ZST X is nice, I still use them.

[@niceeone5905]

This is probably counted as necroposting but I bought the Blon 03 and just broke today because of kittens chewing on it D: so I had to use my KZ ZST X again The Blon 03 and I had built a great bond over a couple of months together and now I am in pain

[@montysharma6510]

I watched this video before with my old ZST/ZST Pro (black), and now I'm watching this again with my new ZST X. It's not a fair fight, coz the ZST X is the definite winner.

[@Lamp_God]

It's not v-shaped po if forward yung mids. Also punchy but at the same time boomy? Both are contrasting descriptions for bass.

[@zpolt]

Its not forward mids, theres just a slight bump from the sig but still the bump is below the highs and bass so still a V. You can check the graph for more info. 👍

[@Lamp_God]

@@zpolt My bad I thought it peaks at upper midrange but you still need to work on your descriptions on bass man. :)

[@zpolt]

Rik Requinto no prob. Discussions are welcome. For the bass. Im using the word punch to describe dynamics. The impact, or the strength of the hit. Indeed theres some who use that for bass tightness. I saw some articles who describe it as impact in another and tightness in another. I opt to choose impact in this case. The tough part in audio choosing the terms to use lol. If you have a better term for that than can be easier to understand for most people feel free to suggest.

[@Lamp_God]

@@zpolt Sure thing. Don't get me wrong I was just commenting just to improve your videos man. I'm happy you have a large following of people and happy to support you. Yes you are right about punchy like the bass impact but describing it as boomy is contradicting since boomy means slow decay of bass which also could mean the bass bleeds to the mids. While punchy describes as speed of the driver to resolve bass with such fast decay. Hope you get my point. :)

[@zpolt]

Rik Requinto no prob man. Always open to improve my descriptions and be more helpful to people, very much welcome in the channel. 👍 ill look into this and improve descriptions in future.

[@grassulo]

I have the KZ ZSR's I wonder how these compare to those (ZSR is 2BA and 1DD). I really like the sound of the ZSR's especially for vocals with their mid range BA driver and the sound stage is SO big and realistic that for gaming they can be a bit freaky.

Amazing review as always zpolt! I really love how detail your review is. This one really caught my attention by just the shells alone.. It's look hella cool with those ZST X writings on lol. Too bad I had a "bad" experience with KZ.. Especially the ZS10 Pro before because of what I considered as piercing treble.

how about a vk4 but with the side hole slightly covered, i have been using a vk4 for half a year now and i seem to prefer it's side hole slightly covered, it makes the highs more forward and also adds more range to it, the only downside seems to be some dynamic range hit in the lows but overall it's a good modification if you want a more balance vk4.
