KZ Zax são um in-ear monitor de 8 drivers por menos de 70 dólares. O quê…
Muitos de vocês sabem que por muitos anos vendi in-ear monitors, usei in-ear monitors, e tenho muitas opiniões sobre in-ear monitors. KZ Zax é um daqueles in-ear monitors naquele bracket sub-100 IEM que era algo que tinha que testar, lançado cedo, acho, ano passado com 7 balanced armature drivers e um driver dinâmico tudo por menos de 70 dólares e preço realmente não mudou muito.
Muitas pessoas têm seguido a faixa Linsoul DUNU tipo que tem sido, Shenzhenaudio, só flutuando por aí. E vocês fizeram análises. Têm opiniões. Compraram algumas coisas e alguns de vocês possuem praticamente tudo que já fizeram. Eu estava mais interessado no Zax porque até agora acho que deveriam ter realmente afinado sua assinatura sonora, tuning out, realmente entendendo como trabalhar seus balanced armatures. E então com este híbrido do driver dinâmico e balanced armature, pensei, com certeza, tenho que pegar aqueles, ouvir, e contar o que penso.
Vamos começar com specs básicos técnicos.
O cabo é OFC, prata-cobre, então oxygen-free. É cabo trançado, e é legal e leve, e comprimento realmente bom a 1,2 metros. Então, de cara, specs soam perfeitos para aqueles que provavelmente têm iPhone ou telefone Android como fonte primária. Muito fácil de drive estes com aqueles ou talvez qualquer tipo de DAP ou digital audio player que tenha drivaria estes sem problema mesmo do lado do laptop, etc.
Bem, acho que são incrivelmente bem-feitos em termos de qualidade. Agora este cabo também pode ter mic opcional se quiser. Obviamente fui para pureplay, só o trançado. Mas como pode ver de perto, o acabamento nisso, fui para turquesa. Pode conseguir isso em cerca de quatro acabamentos diferentes. É apenas really well machine. Placa de liga de zinco por fora lá. Muito leve e fácil de encaixar nos ouvidos. Profundidade do earplug parece bem longa mas na verdade apenas encaixa naturalmente nos ouvidos. Então em termos de conforto e capacidade de usar longo-prazo, problema zero. Pegaria estes para viagem e levaria num piscar. Em termos de tamanho e comparação, não que tamanho importe, são actually quite small. Então só segurando obviamente estes ao lado dos meus IEMs custom. Estes têm oito drivers neles. Estes obviamente têm sete neles. Sete mais um que é oito. Então ambos são configurações eight driver. Este é meu custom obviamente e este não é. Mas claramente pode ver tamanho nestes é really quite significantly different, e especialmente no ouvido, sente-se so…
Realmente esperava evitar durante isso dizendo "Pelo preço, são really good. Pelo preço, qualidade sonora é okay," porque acho que se vai vender IEM híbrido 7BA 1DD a menos de $70, então realmente deveria colocar algo forward que é pretty impressive se vai bother packing in ou aquele hardware, mantendo em mente obviamente que isso é 8 drivers in-ear. A boa notícia é que não really have to say that very much at all para anything to do with these. E quaisquer críticas que tenho e que vou dar devem ser balanceadas com fato que holistically these are a fantastic little unit for the price, but they're just a fantastic little unit. São confortáveis, well-made, e soam great.
Vamos passar pela assinatura sonora e really where I think it's lacking and where I think the strong points are for this. Tem muito grave? Sim. Tem muito sub-bass? Sim. Tem muito mid-bass? Sim mas às vezes sub-bass sente um pouco detached mas só em certos gêneros. Então se está ouvindo dubstep, se está ouvindo heavy house onde geralmente tem aquela separated, deep, heavy bass track just kind of flattened down at the bottom, boom, boom, hitting hard and heavy, às vezes pode sentir just a little bit separated from the rest of the sound signature. O grave está lá. Sabe, actually put on the SVS subwoofers. Put out a Spotify list of tracks they think really represent bass well, so put on a couple of those.
E estas coisas, você sabe, they got down there, it wasn't super tight, and it wasn't super punchy for a 10 hertz, bottom-end kind of expectation of the frequency. I'm not really sure… I didn't dislike it and it was there, but again it just feels sometimes a little bit detached. Fast-forward to another genre like hard rock or heavy metal, all of a sudden, there's a lot more of that kind of guitar frequency from the mids flowing through deeper with some bass guitar, and then you've got, sort of, some floor tones and bass kick. Again, right down the bottom-end there, it's certainly there but maybe not as tight or as punchy. But definitely still quite impressive for, you know, what you're getting… I did it again, didn't I? For the price, it's pretty impressive.
Agora, onde estes começam a brilhar são aqueles vocais, aquelas guitarras, o piano, os momentos arejados, all around that nice kind of mid-range is just really quite delightful. Não é sharp and attacky. É quite natural, but I don't think it's particularly warm either. So I think it's just very nice. I think you could listen to these for a long time without experiencing a lot of fatigue in the sound and in the sound listening. So whoo, whoo! That's pretty awesome, right? Now, the treble, the highs, they're also certainly there. Not lots of sibilance. Not particularly sharp. Sometimes I find the DUNU range can be just really sharp. It's like nothing and then it's like screeching in your ears. With these, it's just a natural curve to the highs and I wouldn't particularly say that I felt a lot of roll-off. So, yeah, again, non-fatiguing, you could listen to it a long time. Certainly well-connected to the mids.
It's hard not to like them. It's hard not to want to wear them for long periods of time, and it even left me saying, "Well, do I pick up my Here audio, you know, by the Wizard who's now Noble. Do I pick up my Westone W60s, my UM Pro 50s? You know, what am I picking up to take out if I go out with me?" Now, you know, if I was going on a trip and I wanted to take something that I didn't mind getting a little bit knocked around, I'd probably really seriously consider picking these up.
For live views, I think these are a no-brainer. For anybody that's doing vocals, keys, guitar, no problem whatsoever. Drums? Absolutely. You know, go for it. Put these behind your ear. Your midtones are going to sound wonderful. Your snare's going to sound nice. Your floor tom and kicker are going to be there. As a vocalist, if you just put a kick and snare in your ears, you're going to get enough impact out of these two to make it work for the price for sure.
Packaging is tastefully done. It's just a nice, simple box with a logo on the front. You open that up, and the earphones are found left and right in there with a nice, little, kind of, very light, stainless steel plate in there. There's a little embossed thing over here that says, "Don't forget the original intention of using earphone is to enjoy music." Underneath the foam, there is, you know, some more ear tips for small and large. Medium comes by default. And actually probably one of the best little booklets I've ever got with a pair of earphones.
In closing, 70 bucks, sounds great, can't say no. You might have tried the ZS10. You might have tried many of the Linsoul DUNU, Shenzhen range. You might already have your favorites. I would say that this would be a great in-ear monitor universal for just most people without a doubt for that price. Now, if you need to go lower to $50, there's obviously lots of other alternatives. I can put some in the links below, but if you can stretch, then, you know, these will quality, the detachable cable, the multiple array of drivers, I think these will probably keep you happy for a long time and probably last quite well as well.
Hope it's helpful. If you like to hear about any of the other under sub-100 IEMs, then I would certainly be happy to give you my thoughts on those. Obviously, there's a lot of commercial ones as well. We've got a list of the top 10 on the site that you can read, which we update every year with whatever is coming to market.
So have a great day. Stay safe out there. Look forward to talking to you in the comments.
Bye for now.
