  • Another video on KZ 7-8 USD range. They are cheap, priced almost exactly the same, so which one wins?
    I got them from these stores (best prices at the time)

    I once had KZ ZSN PRO and for me the bass was not too good and not too bad. There were also times that it kind of hurts when I try to make the volume higher (cant explain it in technical way) as it produced sharp sound.

    just bought the castors for gaming and listening to music, first pair of IEM's I've always used headphones but I think these will be better for me thanks for the comparison.

      ​@@mchlrvr for the price I think there definitely worth it I got the non mic version so I cant tell you how the mic sounds but they feel lightweight and comfy they sound amazing, very easy to hear footsteps in games. listening to music is still good as they still have decent bass and honestly I think there definitely worth just trying. the only criticism I have is the noise suppression isn't the best so definitely invest in some foam ear tips apart from that there brilliant.

      @@animesong4838 I just typed a massive review on them to you lol but accidentally clicked off the page so Lemme summarise, yes there good, sound cancelling isn't, buy new foam ear tips and maybe cable, have fun. also the sound is quite harsh but of course you can adjust the switches to your ears liking and by harsh I mean sharp like when listening to explosions or songs if there's something loud its LOUD again try it out and adjust switches to your ears preferred liking and if you don't like them just send them back.

    Ok, for that low of a price I bought the castors just to see how they compare to the nothing ear 2024 and the liberty 3 pro. I will hopefully be able to report on it once they arrive.

    • @k4syx
      @k4syx  4 месяца назад +2

      Please do! Im buying them to see how far have we got with cheap headphnones lately, Im used to hiend stuff and Im surpirised how good these (and other KZs) are. 5y ago something for 5 bucks would sound butt ugly :)

    • @Vordigon1
      @Vordigon1 4 месяца назад +5

      @k4syx I've just received them, and I can tell you right now. For the price I don't think I would be able to find anything even close to the castor, it's simply superb.
      Compared to the liberty 3 pro the castor produce crisper highs and more controlled, tighter base (these are the plus base version).
      Compared to the nothing ear, it is much the same story, but the nothing ear can be EQ-ed to sound better than the castor, but cannot beat the separation and wide stage the castor produce.
      If you do not mind the wiresand want a pair of buds for music only, the choice is obvious imo.
      I just bought 3 more to keep for presents/gifts.

      Status update,
      I find myself using the nothing ear headphones most often, KZ castor do output more detailed, richer sound, the simplicity and convenience of using the wireless earbuds is just too good.
      As a result, I use the KZs maybe 4-5 times per week when I'm at home relaxing, the rest of the time wireless earbuds.

      Give them a lengthy burn in, in most of KZ headphones that I got treble tames after something like 60-80h (quite long).
      I haven't heard Pro 2, I wonder how it compares to regular Pro.

      @@arkin2263 open headphones will have their backs "open" leaking sound both ways. These have usually better soundstage, but they do not isolate very well. Closed will be... closed, no holes or vents to leak the sound. They will isolate better, soundstage will be closer, but the bass can usually be better. Or at least it's easier to achieve good bass in closed headphones.

    I am new to IEMs and would like some suggestions on which IEM to buy as my first. I listen to various genres like pop, rap, EDM, and bass-heavy music. Sometimes, I also play games and attend calls. My budget is around ₹2000.
