KZ is a good brand for in ears. For anyone looking for cheap earphones, brands like KZ are great for how incredibly cheap they are. easily crap on basically any other options. KBear is another good brand, theres several. So called chi-fi
own a pair of ZSN Pro and it's still rocking for years. Best purchase definitely but nowadays I'm leaning towards to TWS for bed listening and I went for Moondrop Nekocake. Talking about it I'm surprised Ken never talk (or probably knew) about Moondrop since it ticks all the stuff he likes, especially with the anime box and aesthetics.
@@neogpt oof, no headphone jack surely sucks. but when I think about it, that's enough for me to trick myself into buying a nice Type-C DAC (usually for phones that I own, the DAC in it is pretty mediocre) 😂
First heard of KZ buds in a DankPods video a couple years back and it's insane how good they are for the price, not even just better sound quality but how often especially at that price range do you see modular earbuds that allow you to replace the cable or each ear if one breaks instead of replacing the entire set.
KZ is actually really good for the price. As a music producer and musician myself, I enjoy listening through my KZ EDX pair. Also, I tried those things on big stages and those in ear monitors really kicks for live performance sound monitors. One thing to keep in mind, the EQ are heavily processed for an easy and fun listening experience. Can’t really recommend it if you search for flat reference headphones.
I have both the KayZee-Dirtybuds (thanks for the recommendation, Wade!) and the Macropad and I am very happy for those. Using the Macropad to pause / rev / ff youtube-videos on my computer next to my work computer. Only issue is that sometimes it starts to latch and recognizes multiple keypresses, until I disconnect and re-connect it. But for like 4 EUR, I wont complain.
KZZ is legit. I have a dozen different sets of them. REALLY love that product line. Super inexpensive, varying qualities, ironically the 60-70 USD range are probably their best, even moreso than the 100+ USD. Literally have the whole lot in front of me as we speak since I was about to do a MASSIVE Wireless mic test with the 20 different wireless lavs I bought.
After seeing the reviews and seeing a "Broke VS. Pro" episode, I bought the KZ EDX-Pro IEMs a few weeks ago myself off Temu for half the price that Amazon typically sells them for and I love them. I even bought a case for them so they don't get damaged quickly.
Been watching Austin for years and this is the first time youtube recommended a Denki video to me. Guess I'll subscribe since I finally found myself here.
Hey Ken when testing SD cards from Temu or Wish please go the extra mile validating capacity is truly what was stated. Many of these cheap SD cards report bogus capacity which is much higher than actual capacity.
Concerning the 3-button macropad you were very kind concerning that software. In reality, it is not great and we Mac users will need to do some trickery or use a windows machine to actually map the keys ... sigh.
KZ seems to be the gateway chi-fi brand - but there are so many other brands/models with really good value for performance at a bunch of price points. Thing about chi-fi is different models from the same manufacturer can be completely hit or miss so price is rarely an indicator of performance (unlike how western brands broadly operate) The BLON BL-03s from a few years ago were like $20 and punched so far above their price it made no sense Quality control can also be an issue - the Shuoer Tape Pros got panned by most reviewers for having no high end, but either they launched a bad batch on release or reviewers didn’t have a powerful enough amp to run the electrostatic drivers that were the unique selling point of this unit. Mine were incredible with so much detail and clarity in the highs when paired with a Qudelix 5K
I got that same mouse off of Amazon and I like it a lot. The battery lasts a long time and it can be paired through bluetooth as well. You can have 2 different Bluetooth saves and there is a button on the bottom to swap between the 2 bluetooth and the usb dongle. I use it with my steam deck and when I swap between Steam OS and Windows I can just press the button on the bottom to connect the mouse to the different OS options.
Fantastic video! Although with how many issues are happening at the moment with a lack of awareness with these big Chinese manufacturers, maybe it could be considered to mention some sort of disclaimer for people to be conscious when buying from such sites? It's granted we live with such the comfort of purchasing such items, and we can't just entirely ignore it, but maybe it would help if as a society as a whole try to decrease these big hauls people do in purchasing lots of cheap items with little knowledge of what labour is being put into them. Videos like yours are great entertainment and also great means of getting an idea to what products to avoid, so there's for sure a benefit to getting traction on such content, but personally I feel like some acknowledgement of buyers to try purchase more consciously, from a labour perspective as well as an environmental perspective we try cause less harm on what we purchase. Thanks for the great video as always!
I git those kzs a few months ago just to have a set of earphones I don't have to care about. Was genuinely impressed even the packaging seemed too good for the price point.
KZ is the best budget earbud i have 4 of them with different type and never got disappointed very recommended, they also selling the bluetooth cable separately and its the best combo better than tws in term of battery life also i can use 4 of them with only one bluetooth cable
Hi Kent, I have been using One Odio pro 80 headphones for a long time, you should do a review of these headphones for around 80.00 cdn dollars you will be surprised with the sound. They have the same sound quality that you have with 250.00 headphones ...
off topic but when you said "usb a" for the clear mouse, i will never forget the time i went into micro center and was looking for a usb a to usb c, i asked one of the guys in there were it was, he was confused when i said usb a. i was flabbergasted.
Most cheap Chinese branded steering wheels have 2 modes that allow them to work like either a gamepad and the other mode is an actual gaming wheel. There should be a Mode Button on it to work. But yes 270 wheels are not ideal… 900 degree wheels are the better choice now a days
markets like IEMs and keyboards are such a hot field right now and theres a LOT of chinese companies pushing incredible products for the price and I dont know if temu is exactly the place to find em but hey it could be... I just know that this is a field where you can actually get quality for the cost
Randomly picked up that mouse to go with my cheap coding rig. I was really surprised by the quality and it's bt and rf dongle. For the price I won't be too mad if it scuffs.
I bought one of those macro button things, not from temu, thinking I could use it in American truck Simulator. I couldn't. It has one use and one use only. Wish I could find something similar that could be used in games.

That LED fan was amazing. Very nice looking desktop peripherals. I've seen one of those night vision cameras before on a video using cheap 'ghost hunting' kit, and it's surprisingly good. That speaker certainly looks nice, very retro. Shame it doesn't sound as good as it looks. Looks like I'll have to buy those earphones.
9:30 It is probably 16GB i saw so many tests results from cheap offbrand SD/MicroSD's that say that they are actually 16GB instead of like 4TB, 16TB or what ever they claim they have
Thanks for the video :) I was wondering how you are able to have that moving wallpaper on your pc? Does anyone know? Edit: never mind X) probably Wallpaper Engine on steam
09:26 A similar thing happened with me in the past: I ordered a 16GB microSD card from another website, it turned out it's actually just 14.8GB capacity instead, but actually it's the true formatted capacity, so, that's good I guess. One thing, sometimes some files become impossible to delete from the card, but one quick run of the official "SD Card Formatter" can get the card back to normal.
Does anyone potentially know who that character is on his wallpaper at 8:01? She seems familiar, but I just can't seem to track it down. Please respond if you think you can help me out!

Atleast KZ is getting acknowledged. I use KZ ZSN Pro X with KZ AZ09 for bluetooth dongle. They're quite cheap yet the sound quality is good
I am happy that there are more and more see-through products these days. Miss those from the late 90s

This is really just mystery tech but with Ken I’m here for it

I picked up a pair of the KZ EDX-Pros from AliExpress on one of their sales. Incredible sound for only a couple of US dollars.
Should've used F3 to check the SD card to see exactly how small it actually was (or H2testw for Windows)
Yeah I'm expecting the file corruption was due to it over writing the start of the file cause the reported capacity is BS.
Suisei screensaver, i see you are a men of culture.
I love the yes fragment before the unpacking. Shows your culture. 🎉

Exactly
I really want the hologram 😭
I have the same pair of earphones, also bought from temu. It is one of the best purchases I've ever made.
The best part was easily the Suisei wallpaper, what a man of culture!
you need to do a pro vs broke temu edition. It would be a real interesting match because you will not know what you got until you assemble it
They definitely do not. A quick google search would tell you why you shouldn't support a company like temu. This is some really low hanging fruit.

I have this exact mouse. I love it, except it emits a high-pitch noise at all times. But for $10, it's worth it.
Oh man, that speaker. Lol. The combo of woodgrain, silver, and black, LGR would be all over that thing! Lol
The spinning hologram device would be fantastic for Warframe engram cosplays

10:48... KZs are actually well-known in the budget to mid range IEM market and not exclusive to Temu...
KZ is a well known brand for IEMs.
