After a little work they do manage to lớn fit nicely out of the box, and didn’t thua the seal when I moved my head & jaw around. The plastic tube that’s contoured for going behind the ear is unfortunately non-malleable, but I have read it’s possible lớn mold it with a hair dryer or other such heat. You could also fit ear pads over it, but those would have khổng lồ be acquired separately. Your can still feel the texture of the woven wire through the plastic tube which is slightly uncomfortable.

The mic is on the right wire & is pretty basic, with a single on/off điện thoại tư vấn button

The joint và jack support are nice and sturdy, & the jack plugged in firmly to my device. One issue with the large angled jack is that it might have trouble fitting with various phone/device cases.

The wire is decently sturdy but I’m not a huge fan of the woven texture that KZ uses with these và some of their other earbuds because it’s prone khổng lồ tangles & microphonics.All in all, though, these are nice, sturdy, và well fitting earbuds for the minimal price.Check them out more on Amazon

Spec/Performance Discussion, Listening Impressions, Other Related Observations

General impression: The ED12 sounds very good for a budget earbud. No detectable flaws that tend to lớn be common with cheaper headphones. The response felt nice & even và consistent, & the detail và clarity were good, with particularly nice separation – you can really hear individual instruments, etc.

Sound signature: These definitely have the proverbial V shape – the mids are a little recessed while the trebles are very bright. This results in a little thinness and harshness, & some onset fatigue.Bass: I wouldn’t say the bass sounds emphasized, but the extension is very good. The quoted response range is 10 – 20k Hz which is comparatively good for budget earbuds. Various drops came through without losing clarity or tone, which is a bit of a rarity with budget earbuds. The bass does seem to lớn bleed a little as a result of the V sound signature.Power/Volume: the sensitivity rating is 120 which is comparatively excellent – these got very loud very easily, and I didn’t have to lớn really crank it up with various classical songs like I normally vày to hear them.Isolation: pretty decent – I’d put it at a solid medium, & these should suffice fine for basic commuter use.

Warranty: the ED12 has a one year warranty which is comparatively average.

Overall Take, As Compared lớn The Competition

The KZ ED12 is a very good sounding earbud for the minimal price, with particularly good consistency, detail, & separation. The V shape makes the trebles a bit bright và harsh, which might not be ideal for easy extended listening. They’re also a bit of a chore khổng lồ set up và take in & out.Get the KZ ED12 earbuds on Amazon

In this $25 IEM shootout series I’ll post a new set of impressions every Wednesday until I’ve done them all. Then I’ll select my đứng đầu 3 from the list. After I’ve selected my top 3, I’ll bởi vì a post ranking the remaining units và giving them our trademark visual ratings. Finally, a post will compare the vị trí cao nhất 3 IEMs under $25 that I have in my possession. If any manufacturers want to send additional under $25 units that they think might rank before I’ve done my ranking posts, I’ll showroom them in.

Here are our contestants:

*I’ve included earbuds. My blog, my rules. I know there’s a difference.

Unboxing / Functionality

When the ZST came out, it was one of the cheapest hybrid (BA và dynamic driver) IEMs in existence and KZ was pretty new to lớn the scene. Packaging was a pile of sad.

" data-image-title="sad-doge-is-sad_o_2792967" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://canthiepsomtw.edu.vn.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/sad-doge-is-sad_o_2792967.jpg?w=300" data-large-file="https://canthiepsomtw.edu.vn.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/sad-doge-is-sad_o_2792967.jpg?w=736" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7714" src="https://canthiepsomtw.edu.vn.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/sad-doge-is-sad_o_2792967.jpg?w=736" alt="sad-doge-is-sad_o_2792967" />

Just a simple đen box, with a blown plastic insert showing the headphones in a generic entry hole in the tray. The card saying ZST is exactly the same as the one saying ED12 on the ED12. The packaging doesn’t come with retail hooks, or anything khổng lồ make you think this is anything other than a budget offering, which is actually fine because these are a budget offering. You can get them for $9.99 without a microphone from Linsoul now.

The cable included with the IEMs is nothing special, but it is detachable và therefore replaceable. The cable looks a lot lượt thích what came originally with the Fidue A65, but this cable has a kind of tacky feel to lớn the plastic (fingers kind of stick a bit). The strain relief on the cable is good, even at the y-split. The KZ brand uses bespoke 0.75mm 2-pin connectors, whilst the industry standard is 0.78mm. I’m here lớn tell you that you can force 0.78mm pins into this without difficulty, without damaging the 0.78mm pins, and without affecting the sound. It isn’t even a ‘Like A Virgin’ moment (NSFW). The first KZ tai nghe I picked up was for the explicit purpose of putting a slightly large pair of pins into something I didn’t have lớn worry about breaking (Lear BTC-01: a sound surprise in wireless).

The pinholes can take more pin kích thước than the label on the box would indicate, so don’t worry about trying other cables out, you can still use KZ’s cables afterwards. There is another peculiarity in kiến thiết that KZ has done, their eartips. I don’t know why they think this looks lượt thích a star. It has too many points. If they had done a six-point star, I’d say this looks lượt thích a star, but with a 10 point star, that’s a cat’s butthole. The tips, outside of looking funny are mediocre tips. There are better fitting tips out there with better sound profiles. I’d advise that they would be better off ditching the butt tips.

The microphone on the microphone cable has average quality. It is at a good location on the cable. It would have been nice to have more than 1 button, but I understand and tư vấn the likely savings from not having volume controls on the built-in remote.

The shell of both the ZST and the ED12 are plastic with a noticeable lip where the faceplate is glued lớn the body. The shape of the shells isn’t pseudo-custom, but it is trying lớn look lượt thích it is, which makes these look more premium than they are. These don’t have the ergonomics of a pseudo-custom fit, but then they don’t have the price either. Pseudo-custom shells tend khổng lồ come in at a minimum of around $100, so this size factor works pretty good under $20. The plastic doesn’t look terribly durable, but I haven’t tried to lớn smash ’em. I’d lượt thích if KZ, or most of these budget makers included a case, but if you want these to keep ticking and protect them, I suggest you get one. On Gearbest I found some KZ official cases for about $1—it would be easier for everyone if they just included them.

Sound impressions (ZST)

Sound impressings were done using the Hi
By R3, which is my favourite budget player right now. The R3 has a little bit of fun lớn the signature, but not too much.

Bass on Natalie Merchant – Carnival is groovy & big but a bit loose, with a midbass focus. Some of the texture và depth are missing. The midbass is forward in the mix. Natalie’s voice is recreated well. Good for a tenner, but definitely missing some texture in her voice. Stage depth is shallow. The cymbals are missing a bit of the body of their shimmer, with shortened attack và decay. This quick attack and decay gives a bit of more metallic sheen lớn the sound. Hand drums sound really good on the ZST.Female vocals sound good on these. Kate Bush – Cloudbusting has lovely sweetness but misses a cảm biến of her . As with Carnival the elevation of the midbass is clear. The elevation here doesn’t hurt the vocals, so it will be pretty satisfying for a good proportion of the folks shopping in the budget sector who are used to lớn a bit of elevated midbass and lượt thích it. It’s a good tuning. Drums sound good on this track too, with some nice impact—this isn’t uncommon on IEMs with elevated midbass.The instrument separation on The Beatles – Help! is limited by the depth of the stage, with the sound ending up in a bit of a wall of sound. The instruments don’t muddle together much, but the spatial limitation makes picking out individual elements more difficult than some other IEMs. Stage width is actually pretty decent. Height is pretty average.Drums slam huge on Outkast – Ms. Jackson. The background synth is a bit buried in the mix, which removes a cảm ứng of drama from the track. Still sounds engaging and pretty clear, just not the kind of black background that you get used khổng lồ when listening to lớn higher end models. The sound is pretty satisfying with hip-hop.

Sound Impressions (ED12)The ED12 is basically the ZST with a darker sound. I wouldn’t be surprised if they nói qua their dynamic driver, which would mean that ba treble isn’t really there.On Ms. Jackson the bass is comparatively over-egged because the treble isn’t there khổng lồ lend a bit more clarity lớn the midrange. These still sound all right. There aren’t actually many terrible sounding headphones out there, but these are missing substantial bits of the music. This track has lots of percussion detail & it’s largely just gone.Cloudbusting is also missing some breadth to lớn the tonality, the emphasis in the bass isn’t balanced out by treble. There is just less detail và definition across the whole frequency spectrum. The sound is somewhat muddy compared to lớn the ZST. It’s lượt thích the sound has been busted by an actual cloud hanging omnipresently in front of the music.Depth on Carnival may actually be a bit deeper than the ZST, but the frequency response is less balanced which means the characterisation of the music is less accurate.The ZST are better than the ED12.

Like most sensible people I started falling in love with music as a child. My first portable audio device was a Sony Walkman (the cassette kind) that I got when I was 10 years old (25 years ago). I toted that lovely brick around with the cheap included headphones for several years in cold Fairbanks, Alaska. Like a Hieronymous Bosch mural, my tastes can be weird & wonderful: from dreamy Japanese garble pop to banks of strings và percussion in the Mariinsky Orchestra. I listen mostly lớn rock.I tend to like neutral bright headphones & I"m a sucker for soundstage. I don"t vì chưng EQ. I believe that cables can make a difference but vì chưng not unconditionally make a difference, same thing goes for balanced outputs.Some axioms:Frequency response isn"t everything, but it is important.If you didn"t volume match, how can you be sure you heard a difference?
Ears are beautiful things, but we hear with our brains và brains can be pretty darn stupid.View all posts by glassmonkey
