KZ PR 2 x HBB Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

D
  • The tuning lacks refinement, jumping between dull and shouty without settling. Vocals frequently sound off-kilter.

Average Technical Grade

E-
  • The presentation is claustrophobic and blurred, leaving simple arrangements sounding chaotic and lifeless. The presentation feels more like background noise than music.
Mids C+
The mids are solid and dependable, though not especially remarkable. Vocals stay reasonably grounded in the mix.
Treble E-
Expect severely attenuated treble that leaves textures subdued. Everything sounds veiled and muted.
Dynamics E-
Expect limp dynamics that rob music of its natural rises and falls. Swells in orchestral tracks vanish.
Soundstage C+
Decent spatial presentation with noticeable width and a modest step forward in depth perception. There's a mild sense of width to enjoy.

KZ ZEX Earbuds Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

E
  • Tuning is chaotic and fatiguing, with clashing frequencies that make long sessions unbearable. Every song demands frequent volume adjustments.

Average Technical Grade

E-
  • Everything sounds flat and suffocated, with even elementary passages losing definition and energy. Expect little in the way of micro-details.
Mids E+
A hollow mid band strips body from instruments and voices. Instrumental harmonics fade too quickly.
Treble E-
Highs sound veiled and distant, draining life from the mix. Hi-hats fade before they start.
Dynamics E-
Dynamics barely flicker, leaving energetic sections strangely subdued. There's no punch to latch onto.
Soundstage D
A small, boxy image grants a hint of stereo movement yet refuses to extend outward or upward. Front/back layering is virtually flat.
