Hello,
I currently own KZ ZAX IEMs. Bought them half a year ago and they do their job well (got them as headphones for field recordings) and to listen to music every now and then. I also have some AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Max and Beyer DT990. Just as a little background information.
The ZAX are okay, but not what brings out the "joy" in music listening as my stereo sound system does. I guess you know what I mean.
They are lacking sub bass and soundstage, imaging separation..
There are so so many IEMs right now and I was hoping to get some recommendations around 200ish Euros.
I was looking at the Kiwi Ears KE4 (and Astral), Crinear Daybreak so far.. but am not sure they fit my needs. The sound curve looked way better than the ZAX.
Thanks!
