Design & Comfort

As I briefly mentioned in the introduction, there is no doubt KZ placed a bet on design being somewhat distinctive: the shells, made of aluminium, are two-toned in black and red, a fact that makes them noticeable and sets them apart from the rest of KZ’s line-up. While the shape is reminiscent of the ZS6’s, the colours are clearly new. The faceplates and nozzles are painted black, while the inner part of the housing is reserved the red treatment. The faceplates bear three vertical vents protected by a grille and sport three small bolts.

As for the shape, it is almost triangular with one side being round, almost like the RevoNext QT2. It is rather small and the nozzles are slightly angled to better fit in the ears. The earpieces are mode of three parts: the faceplate, the rest of the housing and the nozzle. This is probably due  to the balanced armature being positioned in the nozzle.

It seems like KZ knows how to build metal earphones as the quality is very good. In fact, earpieces are such good quality one could think they costed $100 or more. What betrays the cheap nature of the ZSA is the cable, which is just acceptable – though better (by a long shot) than the usual plasticky one in any possible way. Considering how low priced these are, I have no criticisms to make over build quality.

Though comfort is a strictly personal matter, I think the ZSA can be comfortable for a large number of people. The small size, rounded shapes and over-ear cable management should mean the fit to be almost universal, eliminating cases such as the ZS6’s rough edges or the ZS10’s large size. In my experience, I could wear the ZSA for as long as 4 hours before I would feel any fatigue. That’s obviously not an objective measurement of comfort, but it gives you an idea.

In the Headphones in Pictures article I wrote the KZ ZSA offer almost no isolation: I was wrong – it seems like my judgement was a bit hasty. Isolation is in fact unexpectedly good when using KZ’s own foam eartips. It is not complete, so it doesn’t shield you from all the noise coming from outside, but it does a great job at reducing the volume of any sound by a large measure, even in typically difficult situations such as public transport or busy streets. The difference is noticeable and just wearing them lowers the volume of noise by several decibels. I must admit this is completely unexpected as there are grilles on the back that made me think these were semi-open IEMs with consequent poor isolation.

Объемный звук хорошо разложен по всему диапазону, при этом он не вызывающе громок. Музыкальные композиции в разных жанрах не теряют своей аутентичности.

Анодированный алюминий корпуса и хромированные сетки – признак не только хорошей прочности, но и стильности, тем более, что он комбинируется с эргономичными амбушюрами. Обезжиренный разноцветный кабель Furukawa содержит надежную в эксплуатации кевларовую нить. Суперчувствительность и запредельно низкие частоты порождают глубокие басы без ущерба для остального диапазона.

• отличная шумоизоляция;

Final Thoughts

As regular readers of Soundphile Review know, I praise neutral tunings and tend to judge anything else negatively, even though my personal preference goes to bright signatures. Despite this, considering that the KZ ZSA sell for about $25, I think that they deserve at least some praise because they offer quality bass at a price point where it often is not that good. They’re bass cannons that can please bassheads and not only them.

The KZ ZSA are good at bass and you should only buy them if that is exactly what you want, but if you want balanced headphones you can use to listen to a wide array of genres then these may not suit your needs. If only they had better midrange and treble, these would easily win my recommendation for bass-heavy headphones.

ø8mm Dynamic Driver + Balanced Armature

$15~$20

4.5/5.0

The ZSA is another model released in a flood of high-quality models by KZ. The ZSA are a compact and cheap alternative to their bigger brother, the ZS6. Just like the ZS6, the ZSA suffer from a sharp treble, although it’s nowhere near as piercing as the ZS6. The good news is that the ZSA are excellent for those who are looking for cheap earphones with an excellent build quality, deep bass, clear and upfront mids and a crisp and detailed treble.

Although I had some fitting difficulties, other have not experienced it as badly as I did, so it’s completely individual. KZ have reached a peak where about every model they release sounds above what you would expect for their price. You can’t go wrong with these either.

Buy on

Pros

• Unbelievably detailed sound quality for this price point.
• Extremely deep sub-bass response. Driving these is an easy task.
• Extremely loud, even on weak sources.
• Detachable cable, which extends the lifespan of these earphones.

Cons

• Instances of pierce are not uncommon, especially in tracks with sharp high-pitched sounds.
• I had a bit of a difficulty making them seal properly given their small size.

Package:

Hard paperboard + soft paperboard

Ear Tips — Single-Flange:

S+M+L, starline, black, ø4.5mm bores

Build & Materials

Housings:

Metal, ø5.5mm nozzles (ø5mm bores)

Connectors:

2-pin (custom 0.75mm)

Remote:

Plastic (matte), single-button

Y-Split:

TPE, soft strain relief

Cable:

Silicone (braided), 132cm, extra-soft, straight, memory-wire ear loops

Plug:

TPE, 90° angled, wide, soft strain relief

Comfort & Fit

Despite the similar design to ZS6 and RevoNext QT2, the ZSA have a substantially smaller housings, which makes them suitable for small ears, but they’ll have a worse grip for larger ears. Keeping them in depends on how good of a seal you’re getting with them.

Lows / Bass

The bass reminds me of the ZSR a lot. The bass is very deep and I can even feel the sub-bass rumble. It’s also not that different from the ZST’s or ES3’s bass response and I would bet that we’re dealing with the same dynamic driver, maybe tuned slightly differently. Nevertheless, I have no complains over the bass of KZ earphones in general. It’s stable, punchy and just fun-sounding.

Mids / Vocals

The mids are very clear, but seem to have slightly odd positioning. The upper-mids are upfront, while the lower-mids are a bit subdued, and it’s more noticeable on male vocals. The upper-mids and treble dominate over the midrange, and it’s safe to call this sound signature blatantly V-shaped.

Highs / Treble

Very sharp and crisp with substantial amount of detail, coldish tone and a spiky texture. I wouldn’t say that this treble is my prefered kind of treble, but many would appreciate the clarity and delicacy of it.
