KZ-ZST Colorful Hybrid Banlance Armature with Dynamic Ear Earphone 1BA+1DD HiFi Headset KZ in Ear Monitor Headphone Wired Earbuds IEM Earphone Gaming Ear Buds (Colorful/zst Without Microphone)

I picked up the Yinyoo KZ ZST hybrid in-ear monitors as an affordable option for our worship team, not knowing how well they would perform in a live stage environment. I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality and sound. They provide a nice, tight fit and offer just enough noise isolation to work effectively on stage without completely blocking out everything around you. The sound is clear and reliable for monitoring, especially considering the price point. Overall, these are a great budget-friendly option for anyone needing dependable in-ear monitors for live use.

I've been using these in-ears for several months now, and they have pretty good sound quality for what they're worth. I use them for playing in my church's band 3-4 times a week. Without having an equalizer, the higher ends can get a bit harsh on the ear, but once you get the EQ dialed in, the sound is clean, and my guitar tone comes out great. They are also pretty comfy to wear (considering I wear them for several hours a week), and they sit and wrap very nicely around my ear. Overall great in ears!

I had been using Shure ear-buds, in-ear monitors...whatever you want to call them for years until they finally gave out (sorry, don't know the model...they were like $80 at Guitar Center when I bought them). I was looking around for replacements when I came across this item. The reviews were overwhelmingly positive, and for $20...I didn't see a downside if they turned out to be not exactly what I needed. The first thing I will note is that they look cool. I like the different colors of the ear buds and they seem well constructed. The cord is also well constructed and the connections into the ear buds are a bit tricky because of how tiny they are to see (I'm 44 and my eye sight is not what is not what it was). However once connected, they cord stays connected to the ear buds. I have experienced one instance of one of the connections popping out, but that was during activity (I play drums) and I probably pulled on the cord somehow. The connection wasn't damaged and I popped it right back in...I don't think the pins breaking on the cord end would be a problem. Even if that happened, you just order a new cord!! The sound is not bad for something that cost $20. For me, these seem to accentuate the higher frequencies while adding in some lower end. I was impressed with how my bass drums and lower toms thudded and how my snare, higher toms, and cymbals popped. Not bad at all for $20...not bad at all. The silicone tips included with the ear phones (there are 3 sizes) I have issues with...only because of how I use the ear phones. I play drums and drums are loud...very loud. The included silicone tips do not isolate very well and I tried all the different tips provided with the product. When playing drums, I found that the isolation was minimal and any music I tried to play with was a bit difficult to hear. The solution, and a solution many have noted in their reviews, is to purchase foam tips from Comply. These tips can be found on Amazon or at Comply's web site. Personally I found that the Comply SportsPro tips worked just fine. I picked them up at my local Best Buy store for $16 and change. The isolation provided by the Comply tips is what I am looking for and the ear buds stay in my ears much better now (I get quite sweaty when I play). I can't speak to using these in a more professional environment. I just play drums by myself and don't have any other musicians making noise around me to speak to the effectiveness of this product for the use in stage performance. I would think that one could get by with these in a pinch playing in a performance. Using foam tips instead of the silicone tips provided, I believe would make a huge difference in one's opinion of the product for live use. I will state again that for what I do, these are meeting my expectations. I hope to get a lot of use of these and save my hearing in the process. Having also saved some money for just shelling out $20 for these is just icing on the cake.

What I was looking for: After accidentally buying some IEM's without knowing what it was (TNSO) (last picture), I was determined to find another pair. I couldn't get the same ones (went unavailable), and didn't know what to look for. When I finally stumbled upon more, I was plagued with trying to find some that had balanced sound. As someone looking to produce music, I didn't want anything filtered. The best ones actually were cheaper than this but wouldn't be able to hold up more than a few days. Why I chose these: It seemed like I was going to have to settle with some elevated bass. With the reviews as good as any on these, the price, replaceable cord (thought it'd be cheaper to just buy a whole new pair), I decided to get them. Sound Quality & Bass: My ears aren't well trained. But I had some help learning about headphones with balanced sounds, and got recommended some headphones in my budget that many producers use (pretty much only producers from the looks of those reviews). I got them, was testing them out, and pitting them up against these earbuds. I was shocked at how similar the quality was. Only difference is that I could then tell the elevated bass, which this definitely does have. Probably not to the liking of those who want super elevated. While I don't even like it myself, it doesn't bother me with these. So if you want super elevated, these probably aren't for you. But I can say that these might be the most accurate to sound you can get for casual use. Which is what these are for, I use them for casual listening, internet scrolling, and video sharing skype calls with my bestie. I pop the more professional headphones for working. I almost felt bad though for getting the headphones when these were so similar. The elevated bass was definitely a problem, but if not for that, I probably could've gotten away using these for producing too. No joke. But it probably will be better to produce with headphones rather than earbuds. The 3d illusions are more immersive. But truly I think I could just use these had it not been for the bass, I wouldn't have known that before though. Noise Cancelling: I think the noise cancelling on the accidental IEMs were some of the best, people could be talking less than a foot away from me & me not even know they were there until the song ended. I don't think that's happened with these, but I don't have trouble with hearing external noise over them. I don't always listen to loud stuff but I do a lot of scrolling on Instagram, tik tok, or listening to K-pop, which is all pretty full & busy sounds. So I'm good on that. Longevity: I'm over a year in now, got these November 24th 2021 (first 2 pictures), It's November 30th 2022 now (3rd picture). They're holding up good. I think the cord has changed color, the clear plastic, from food stains most likely. I've had no issues with the in ears, and the cord seems like it's doing just fine. It tangles pretty good. It's not hard to untangle but the part that bends over the ears makes it difficult. I don't find that deterring. I think the way these cords are made, are just less likely to have issues. And it's really an unbeatable price for sound quality at $17 when I bought them, even if they only last a year or two. I suspect these will hold up longer than any I've had. Around 2 years has been my max before, and around that 2 year mark I've had duct tape on the cord to hang on a little longer. If I can update in a year, I'll try to do so.

When I bought these in '18 I was merely looking for a pair of headphones that were inexpensive. I had no idea what IEMs were. My frame of references were: the OEMs that came with iPhones I had before and the Samsung AKGs that I traded up to later, and a handful of other budget headphones and wired earbuds from various companies. For $20 these outperformed anything I've owned up to that point. As if it took all the great bass, mid, and treble elements from every headphone/earbud I liked, removed all the elements I disliked, and put them into this thing. I couldn't believe it. How did these earbuds sound better and cost less than all the sound pieces I've bought before? Who the heck is KZ? I would later come to find out that this very IEM would become the starting line of the great budget IEM race. Fast forward 6 years. Tozo, Soundpeats, Anker, Moondrop, 7Hz, Dunu, etc. have saturated the IEM market with their offerings with a range of prices to compete with and even outperform tech giants. You know the ones. Some even have endorsements and collaborations from audiophile YouTubers. Even with all of these new products and the innovations made since this product came into the market, the KZ ZST still holds it's own as a go-to option. With 14K reviews and counting, The KZ ZST has become the template and baseline for all other IEMs to follow. That said, downsides: Cables: The fact it has cables is a con in this day and age. It wasn't an issue 5-6 years ago because smartphones still had headphone jacks. The cables went kaput after 2 years of everyday use. I thankfully bought upgraded IEM cables just in case and are what's attached to the ZSTs now. I haven't used the ZST after I got other IEMs and wireless earbuds in 2021 but I tested the ZST recently. It still works and sounds better. Build: The earbuds casings broke at the seams when I replaced the broken cables. They did snap back together and held together when retested them. For $20 it's not a big issue. Features: It plays sounds...and that's about it. No active noise cancelling. It's wired so tangles are a thing. Sound: I repeat this is subjective. Your own mileage will vary. Volume: Great. Plenty loud. It has drivers and that helps in out in that department. Bass: Great. It's not terribly aggressive and I prefer it that way. Mids: Clear vocals and instruments. Treble: Bright. Can get sibilant in some ranges. I maintain a score of 5 after six years of ownership. If you have a need for a wired $20 IEM that has stood the test of time, then these are still a good pick among MANY options.

KZ ZST: The Colorful King of Budget HiFi If you are looking for audio performance that punches dramatically above its weight class, stop searching. The KZ ZST Colorful Hybrid In-Ear Earphone is a legitimate marvel that has completely redefined what listeners can expect from a budget-friendly pair of wired earbuds. I am absolutely thrilled with this set—they simply work great and deliver an incredibly rich listening experience, whether I’m gaming, streaming, or just enjoying my music collection. Hybrid Power for Detail-Rich Audio The secret to the ZST’s success lies in its sophisticated Hybrid Driver configuration: 1 Balanced Armature (BA) and 1 Dynamic Driver (DD) in each earpiece. This is technology usually reserved for headphones costing several times more. The result is a vibrant, "V-shaped" sound signature that is immediately engaging: • Dynamic Driver (DD): Handles the low frequencies, delivering a deep, satisfying bass that has punch and presence without becoming muddy. • Balanced Armature (BA): Handles the mids and highs, providing exceptional clarity and detail in vocals and treble. The combination ensures that no part of the sound spectrum is left behind. The music feels lively and energetic, offering an immersive soundstage that makes these a perfect set of Wired Earbuds for everything from orchestral scores to intense electronic music. Ergonomics and Durability The headphones boast a striking, high-end look thanks to their Colorful semi-transparent shell, which offers a peek at the sophisticated hybrid drivers inside. But the design is more than just aesthetics; it's highly ergonomic. The contoured shape, often called a custom-monitor style, is designed to fit snugly and comfortably over the ear, making them fantastic In-Ear Monitors (IEMs) for prolonged use. For me, this comfortable, locked-in fit is critical. Whether I'm moving around or settling in for a long gaming session, the secure fit provides excellent passive noise cancelling—allowing me to focus entirely on the audio. The detachable cable is another massive plus, ensuring easy replacement should the cable ever wear out, extending the life of these fantastic drivers significantly. The Best Value in Audio The bottom line is that the KZ ZST delivers an astonishing level of HiFi Headset quality without the audiophile price tag. They handle complex mixes and fast transients with ease, providing a level of instrument separation and detail that truly makes a difference. They're a plug-and-play solution that just works great right out of the box, making them the ultimate entry point into the world of quality IEMs. If you are a musician on a budget, a commuter who values sound quality, or a gamer seeking clear audio separation, I cannot recommend the KZ ZST enough. They prove that exceptional audio performance doesn't have to break the bank.

I’ll entitle this review: JUST BUY THEM ! These are, hands-down THE BEST budget IEM’s I’ve ever heard. Period. $23 is a no brainer for this quality. They are on the warm side, but they are fun and engaging. Perfect ? No but they do everything well. I’m sitting here absolutely shocked what’s in offer here for $23. These could EASILY compete with IEM’s costing $75.00-$100. I’m listening to Tim McGraw’s “Highway Don’t Care” which as a drummer, is one of the best sounding recorded snare drums I’ve ever heard. These render it with meat and heft. These are a great listen. I also listened to Corinne Bailey Rae’s “Choux Pastry Heart” right after. I literally opening the package from Amazon 10 minutes and ago and replaced the stock ear tips with some foam Comply tips. If you’re on the fence about buying these, Just do it. They are a No brainer purchase :)

I was skeptical of these style of head phones because of their average low price range, but they definitely caught my attention and want to give them a try. Every posting tend to have lots of random abbreviations and unfamiliar terms so I just went with a random one. The first thing I noticed when I began unboxing them was the cheap feeling, which was expected for the price. The cord was very short for what I prefer, running a about 3 ft. The cord length is not described in the product description I believe, which should have been a red flag from the start. Now the most important part, the sound. The ear buds created a surprisingly impressive sound. It was actually one of the most crisp sounding earbud style headphones I have heard, which was actually the main description I had heard about these style headphones. It just seemed very natural like all the highs and lows blended so well. I feel like if you could take away the feeling of them physically being in your ears, you wouldnt know you're hearing earbuds. It sounds great, but not to a point of ahhh. I want that natural sound, but with that deep, heavy sound too. The ability to hit those strong lows really well and be able to keep up. I was expecting the earbuds to sit in your ear very nice and comfortable compared to most other earbuds, given the design looking very ergonomic. They are designed to sit right in your ear like a mold and provide extra comfort, but I found it difficult to keep in my ear. I think the low quality had a large effect on that issue, like how the cord came out of the earbuds at an awkward part for it having to run a loop over and down the back of my ear. The positioning of where the cord came out interfered with how it rested in my ear. When I unboxed the earbuds I had to connect the cords to the buds which was one of the more interesting concepts of these style earbuds. The cheap feel of both the cord and buds did not give me confidence in conducting this task. The connectors that plugged into the buds had to small prongs that looked like a single bump would break them clean off. Once I had the cords fully connected I tested to see how difficult the removal of the cord would be and it was fairly easy. I wanted to test this because one of my favorite features of these earbuds, is the fact that you can disconnect the cord and change it out with a different length or a different type of connector. That is super convienent for people that may want to play video games with these but require a long cord. Then they want to use them for listening to music on their phone, but they don't want to have a super long cord connected to their phone, or they might need a different connector.

Easy fit , perfect sound Just use peace software and know the equalise band

Son correct , bon rapport qualité prix

I was looking for some In-ear studio monitors to DJ with as I like to play with Fedora's on and over heads don't quite work with hats on. I saw the positive reviews and the large amount of purchases and decided to get these. Boy oh boy am I glad I did. Look: I purchased the Colorful ones and they are beautiful to look at. They look like really expensive In-ear. Build:They appear to have great build quality. The cord seems pretty strong, but in the even they break, can easily be replaced by another cable. Comfort: They have multiple silicone tips you can swap out for your size. Once determined, they sit perfectly in the ear canal. The first part of the cable is firmer in order to be placed behind the hear so it does not fall out. It is also very comfortable. Over all, these are amazing, just get them, you won't regret it. Audio Quality: These simply sound amazing, great mids and lows. The highs can been tuned down slightly but sound great none the less

Très bonne qualité, j’utilise un jeu et pour écouter ma musique je recommande

I don't know how they do it. I've heard a lot of praise for the bang-for-the-buck ratio these earphones are supposed to have and after trying them myself I can only reiterate that praise. They sit very comfortably in your ear, especially the loops that go behind your hear help support the earphones so that they don't need to be seated too deep into your ear. The design is very stylish the sound is immaculate. They are a little more on the bassy side, but that's what you'd what in earphones as it tends to be the area they lack in the most.
