KZ ESX: A Decade of Dedication

Image
This review will be a second tribute on KZ/Knowledge Zenith's 10th year anniversary of its establishment on how they became the game-changer and shifting the paradigm of audio industry. My first KZ product was an IEM with a non-detachable cable and it has a single DD set-up, the model is called KZ ATE . I bought it around late 2016 as I'm really curious about a good sounding earphone  with the sound quality of a headphone in a smaller form. After the purchase of ATE , I bought more products from KZ until that I switched to other brands due to lack of progress in tuning. I still value KZ ED16 as one of KZ's best products. What I have here right now is their decade anniversary product, The KZ ESX . Knowledge Zenith is now refining their single DD line up since the release of KZ EDX as it shows its capabilities in tuning and at least we should appreciate it, to give credit where credit is due on behalf of them. KZ ESX is a single DD...

KZ EDA: Trio With Different Flavours

Image
Oi! Welcome to my another IEM review and what we have here is from the most popular Chi-fi brand of all time, Knowledge Zenith a.k.a. KZ . We already know KZ on how very influential they are in the current audio market space either you hate them or like them.  As we all know, most of us who started in this audio hobby in the mid 2010s were probably at least owning a set from KZ as our starter pack on our audio enthusiast journey. To think that KZ is now a decade-old company and how they are already  well-entrenched in the audio market  and established itself as the preeminent leader of the budget IEM market for a long time until to this day.  KZ introduces their latest product, The KZ EDA . KZ EDA is very different compares to all of KZ's previous products as it has included three (3) pairs of shells with different tuning as they probably want their customers to let them experience a different tuning modes on one single pack...

MUSEHIFI POWER: A Further Leap

Image
Hello and welcome to my another IEM review blog. it's been a long time since I'm posted my last review article as I'm really busy for these past weeks and now I have a spare time to publish more IEM reviews coming from backlog items. What I have here is a first product offering from a new audio company in China, Musehifi and they named their product, Musehifi Power. Musehifi Power is a single Planar Magnetic driver IEM that will be competing and aiming to some current competitors in the market with the same planar drivers set-up like from Letshouer, 7Hz and the first Chi-fi company implementing a planar driver on an IEM, Tin Hifi.  To be honest, I've only tested 2 IEMs with planar drivers before and these are Audeze iSine 10 and Tinhifi P1, I remembered that I am that not particularly impressed on those planar magnetic IEMs before as they are really hard to drive that you really need a better source just to properly power them up and yet it only ...

Zerest Audio Kagami Plus: Smooth, Pleasant but Rustic.

Image
Oi! Mates, Welcome to my another review article on this month and what we have here is an introductory product from a new audio company from Singapore, Zerest Audio . This product model of theirs is called Kagami Plus. Kagami Plus is a single dynamic driver set-up encapsulated in an ABS plastic shell to provide an enough protection and average durability. It’s house casing was coated with some metallic silver-coloured paint on its faceplate while the base part is just a plain, exposed blue plastic. To be honest, the overall design is just too plain in my liking as eye-pleasing aesthetic design are one of my criteria on purchasing an IEM but it depends on some people given that they might like its minimalist cues on it. Kagami Plus uses a MMCX connector for flexibility and  ease to do cable swapping within a seconds. When it comes wearing aspect, it does fit enough though it doesn’t insert well into my lugholes due to its short nozzle...
