LinsoulKZ Zax 1DD+7BA Hybrid Driver HiFi in-Ear Earphones with Zin Alloy Shell, Detachable 2 Pin 0.75mm OFC Cable (With Mic, Blue)

I've had these a couple of days now and am impressed. They have excellent response, really precise highs, good clear mids and well controlled but substantial bass. The clarity is amazing - on some tracks you hear instruments (and particularly percussion) that just wasn't there before. They also have a great sound stage with more separation than I've heard previously.If there is a tiny flaw - and it is a small thing - on some tracks I think you can hear which frequencies are coming from which driver - not in a noticeable way, but somehow its there. It gives a hint of 'artificiality' but really is minor.Anyway a very good buy. Whenever I want to hear the detail of a track I put these on!

This really should be as simple as, BUY these if you’re even thinking about a new pair of IEMs…I’m not an audiophile, but I definitely am a lover of sound quality. I’m also a lover of a good bargain! And these are quite frankly, “for the money” a total no brainer.I’m a middle aged guy, and over the years have owned a great many headphones, earphones, IEMs etc, so of course these ZAXs are gonna be compared to a lot of other ear goggles I have owned, some costing £500 and up.What can I say that’s not already been said about these? They’re amazingly good IEMs, like really astoundingly good.8 drivers in a design which is so comfortable and light they almost “disappear”, leaving you to luxuriate in a wonderfully rich, detailed and engaging listening experience is a marvel.I’ve been listening to a fair range of music through these, from electro and techno, to hip hop and jazz, to acoustic and classical. The zaxs make everything I’ve played through them sound just great. Some reviewers have said the highs are fatiguing and shrill, and bass is a bit lacking. Well let them stroke their beards and nitpick. Fact is, for under £60, these are the finest IEMs you could ever hope to find.One can’t expect much for that money nowadays. I’ve spent more during a trip to McDonalds!But seriously, how this is even possible, I have no idea. Its how far audio technology has come recently. The closest pair of ears I could compare them to cost well over £300, and these trounce them!I won’t mention the cable, because I won’t be using it, having bought KZs Bluetooth ear hooks, which compliment the units perfectly. So I won’t get my silver coated copper in a twist over that aspect.I’m using an iPhone XS and it’s surprising how loud these are even compared to other KZ models. I’m finding just above 50% is plenty, even outdoors.One tiny gripe is the tips. They’re thin and really cheap silicone and don’t really get a great seal. Easily fixed by buying some decent memory foam tips, but literally that is the ONLY bad thing I can say about these.So yeah, not to put too finer point on it, I am pretty much gobsmacked by these IEMs. Not even joking when I say if I’d have paid £200 plus for these I’d be thrilled with my purchase, but less than £60? And they even look super cool in matte black.I’m my recent quest for the best sound quality on a budget, I’ve found my grail, (for now) and if you’re a lover of music and read a lot of reviews, make this the last one you read before you pull the trigger…Happy listening.

I’m using them when I’m drumming and they are great I can’t complain for the price

Great earphones for the price as attested to by other reviewers.Cable is absolutely crap though. Doesn't stay on ear and is pretty uncomfortable. Will not be buying another pair of these once they break.

If I am completely honest I have always been a little wary of these budget type of earphones, after all how good can these affordable Chinese earphones really be when we are constantly told that the best are so much more expensive? So more out of curiosity than anything else I decided to try these. Seven BA’s and one DD models, impressive specifications even if the sound isn’t, right?Well, all I can say is that I was blown away with the sound of these. I am not an audiophile so I would not try to use the language audiophiles use to describe the sound, but I do know what I like. I would describe the sound as exciting, entertaining, vibrant and involving. In fact exactly what I want when I listen to music. I must add that I also own some pretty expensive earphones from manufacturers like Shure, so I can compare them to some fairly highly rated units.Given these KZ’s are also comfortable, look good and even the cable has a nicer feel than the one on my Shure earphones, I can only say that I should probably have saved my money and not bought the Shure earphones in the first place, but then you don’t know until you try I suppose. In conclusion, I doubt these will be the last pair of Chinese earphones I buy.

The product is a 5 star, especially where value is considered as a primary factor. My review can only provide 4 stars because the isolation is not ideal. Yes, I knew it was an open back design when I bought it, but this feels very "open" even by those standards. I'm experienced with much better isolating IEMs. With the ideal use case scenario, these are deserving of tops marks for their sound, comfort, design and cost. I just don't think there are many ideal use case scenarios for a product.

These were the first IEMs I tried and I was initially bowled over. Such detail, such powerful bass. I couldn’t believe the sound quality for the price. But this detail comes at a price - after a while this sparkling high end becomes very shrill and taxing on the ears. You get what you pay for I suppose, and these were so good that they made me want upgrade (which I have, to the FIIO FH3). Very good though, and quite remarkable how technology has come on these past few years.

The cable is meant to be 1.2m long. It is only 70cm from jack to the Y part of the cable. It is 1.2m from end to end only. Too short.Tips are too slippery and won't stay in. It needs foam eartips.
