Whether you need it to listen to music without interrupting others, or just for the fun of having one, it is important that you get an earphone that would suit your preference. The need to own an earphone cannot be over-emphasized. There are so many factors to put into consideration before getting an earphone, the cost, durability, capacity and weight. We have two earphones from a trusted brand KZ, and we will review them closely to help you decide which one is best for you.
KZ ZST Dynamic Hybrid Dual Driver In Ear Earphones (Black Without Mic)
This is one of the best earphones out there. Over the years KZ has been known for producing earphones of great quality, but this product is the first hybrid earphone they ever made. You don’t need to break the bank to purchase this earphone. It has an extraordinary design, and it also comes with a great quality at a very affordable cost. It comes with 4 drivers in total, two on each of the earpiece. The presence of the dynamic enhances the bass reproduction. Whenever you amplify the bass before listening to any song, you would realize that the bass impact is deep and incredible. It comes with a detachable wire which is quite rare for a low budget earphone. It is very suitable for travels because it is lightweight. Also, weighing 0.67-0.847ounces makes it extremely portable.
This particular earphone has gathered a lot of admirers because of its remote control and also in-line microphone. Although you can decide to buy it without the remote control and in-line microphone. It can successfully compete with many high model earphones. The fitting may come as a difficult task to some people, because you have to wear the cable just above your ears, but with time you will admire the style and comfort. KZ ZST is quite lacking in definition in the highs and treble, this is because there is no sibilance. Most of the times, when this earphone is increased to a higher volume, there is usually sound leak, though it isn’t so terrible. For compensation on that, it does an outstanding job of sealing off outside noises.

KZ ZS6 Quad Driver High Fidelity Extra Bass Hifi In Ear Earphone Detachable Cable (Grey without Mic)

You can buy it with or without the 1-button control and inline microphone. This product comes with a detachable cable which has a bi-pin connector, you can also decide to upgrade the bi-pin connector or replace it when damaged. It is can be paired with any Apple or Android device without difficulty. Due to the advanced hybrid configuration, the highs and treble are very bright, irrespective of whether the sibilance is strong. It doesn’t give off a piercing sound. Its bass can play any genre of song with a detailed sound way better than most headphones. Its housing is made of aluminum, but surprisingly that doesn’t add any extra weight to it. Although wearing it for a long period, gives some degree of discomfort. That is quite expected because of the design.
