KBEAR KS1 Wired in ear Headphones, Deep Bass iem Earbuds Noise Cancelling in ear Monitors Earphones with 1DD Driver, Ear Hooks Cable for Gaming Computer, Musician, Drummer (Transparent, without Mic)

This is the short version, great fun and so cheap. Worthy for anyone who wants a fun sounding IEM or as a very inexpensive gift.Longer version: I’ll have to give a full review and update later…. BUT, I purchased 8 pairs of IEM / Earbud style headphones within 2 weeks to see how far along technology had progressed as I have some $100-300 sets from the past 10 years. These KZ EDX were highly rated and so cheap at $12 I figured I could use these as a knock around set or cannibalize their wires/ ear tips etc. if I wanted to. Plus with Prime, I could just use my own ear tips and send them back good as new.Boy…. Am I shocked! These are by far *my favorite set* for non critical listening…. and also these were the cheapest by a HUGE margin. AND before you think I’m def, I worked in HiFi years ago and currently have a home setup that costs as much as the average family car. My taste leans toward non-fatiguing and laid back with tonal and harmonic richness being very important to me (my home rigs are all tube amps).Now, I’m going to emphasize these are NOT the most accurate sounding earbud IEMs you can buy/ be heard/ etc…. They are not the richest, the cleanest, the clearest… and especially because they are challenging fit in some ears they may sound just ‘ok’ or even bad to some… But they are by far my favorite fun set right now. For me they are very comfortable and the music is so engaging I just don’t want to skip a track. They bring you close to the music (which I typical like a more laidback, far away sound as I said) but are not fatiguing with that fake pumped up mid-bass as many are, they lean their bass emphasis to sub bass. Mid-to-Highs freq ranges are a little *little* strident and ragged. However that’s going to be the price you pay for such a cheap set…They really do play deep bass well and have a sound reminiscent of floor standing home audio, not ‘car audio’ with that pressurizing bass you get with 12” subs in your trunk. I feel a lot of “IEM enthusiasts” haven’t listened to live music or hifi that can actually reproduce bass below 80hz and forget / have no idea the importance or engagement that can bring to well recorded music. So forget value, these are just great fun to listen to!NOTE: It’s very important to me my earbuds sound as good as possible with my apple iPhone adapter dongle and Spotify as for my typical use I can’t be burdened with outboard DACs, adapters, etc…. The only changes I have made for this review are Comply foam tips (highly recommended). The standard wire is rather nice for my use and the built in remote/mic come in handy. I do have a high quality thick replacement cable on one of my sets right now (yes I bought more) and took a photo for you guys. This changes the sound slightly but isn’t necessary as with some hard to drive earbud/IEM sets. These are very easy to drive, very efficient.Yeah. I need to wrap this up. Just buy them… then buy a bunch of other sets as gifts for friends. Great pair to get someone hooked into high end audio.

Second set of the KB1 as my first set got stepped on and broke the earbud. For the money, they are an amazing deal.

These in-ears are so comfortable and fit my ears perfectly. They also sound a lot better than my noise canceling headphones I've been using. Though, I don't use them for music, I use them for gaming, I don't doubt that these are perfect for musicians as well. Highly recommend.

Just tried these out at a gig the first time this week. They say you get what you pay for. Will I didn't pay much. And these sound amazing! They fit comfortably. I had a more expensive set that got stolen. I bought 2 just in case that happens again. No regrets.

Have been using this pair of earbuds for some time now. The sound quality is good and its larger 10mm driver gives a strong boost to the sound volume. The bass is acceptable for its price class. I would have given it a higher score if it is not because of the annoying ear loop design which guarantees to snarl and tangle! The wiring is stiff and is intended to avoid tangling, but the loop design just gets in the way and makes the mess much more difficult to untangle!

Great, full sound. Fuller (stronger bass) than earphones with smaller drivers and somewhat more airy, more of a feel of larger (even open-back) headphones. Good build quality. Nice cable and connectors.90 degrees connector to the device. Not great for phones, okay for laptops with side audio connector.I like the microphone - it clearly picks up my voice while not picking up the noise of my window air-conditioner.Cable is shorter than on my other wired headphones. An advantage when using with a phone or tablet in my hand but cannot use these with my mini-PC that sits under my desk.

My wife and I both use these for streaming. We play game (ie COD, Farlight, etc) and we can hear the sounds of footsteps with no issues (if you play these games you'll know what I'm talking about ).WAY more comfort than wearing a head set for hours on end while gaming.The only reason I only gave it a 4/5 is due to the short cord. It is maybe 2 ft long. A little short in my opinion.

EDX 10/10 comfortable in ears comfortable volume perfect bass, price value extremely high volumes will distort.ZSX 7/10 uncomfortable in ears. concert levels of bass roaring guitars and punchy edm, loud without distortion.ZAX 10/10 comfortable in ears, comfortable volume, comfy wooly punchy bass, loud without distortion.Vocals are always clear and never to sharp on all three models.Great work Knowledge Zenith I salute you. At $15 these are an absolute steal.I will be using them for work and keeping the more expensive ZAX safely at home.I have nothing bad to say about EDX it's almost perfect. Good introduction to KZ IEM.
