DELIVERY

Ships in

What does "ships within 24 hours" mean?

In a nutshell, ships within 24 hours basically means that your product will be shipped out or dispatched from our warehouse within 24 hours after placing the order. It also indicates that the products are readily available at our warehouse and once we receive your order, we dispatch it out at the earliest either on the same day or the next working day depending on when you’ve placed your order.

What it does not mean:

A lot of our customers assume that it means their order will get delivered to them within 24 hours, but that’s not what it means. For an order to reach you, it can take anywhere up to 3-4 business days, depending on which part of India you are placing an order from.

Features Dual Dynamic Drivers In A Top

The KZ Castor features a dual-driver setup with a 10mm dual magnetic dynamic driver and an 8mm dynamic driver in a stacked cavity structure. This design ensures exceptional audio quality. One driver handles 20-200Hz for robust bass, while the other reproduces mid and high frequencies. Precise electronic crossover technology enables harmonious collaboration between the two drivers without interference.

NOTE: Starting from February 2024, foam eartips will no longer be included with the KZ Castor.

Bottom-Stacked Cavity Structure

The Castor adopts a top and bottom-stacked cavity design to strike a balance between sound quality and wearer comfort, resulting in a more compact earphone size and an improved level of comfort during prolonged use.

Harman Target Curve With Enhanced Bass

KZ Castor disrupts conventional acoustic tuning methods with its innovative dual-dynamic driver design, resulting in a flawless Harman curve that outperforms flagship offerings from other brands.

How does the dual-dynamic driver setup work?

The KZ Castor incorporates two dynamic drivers (10mm and 8mm) arranged in a stacked cavity structure. One driver handles bass frequencies, while the other takes care of mid and high frequencies. This setup ensures a balanced and engaging audio experience.

How do the tuning switches work?

The KZ Castor features four tuning switches that allow you to make adjustments to the sound profile. Enabling different combinations of these switches creates 16 distinct audio profiles, catering to individual preferences and various music genres.

Is the KZ Castor comfortable to wear for extended periods?

Yes, the KZ Castor is designed with comfort in mind. It offers a secure fit to prevent falling out and includes silicone ear tips that reduce discomfort from teeth clenching noise.

What type of cable does the KZ Castor use, and how does it enhance audio quality?

The KZ Castor comes with a flat, transparent black cable featuring a 0.75mm 2-pin plug design. This design is aimed at improving audio quality, enhancing the overall listening experience.

How do I use these IEMs if my phone does'nt have a 3.5mm output?

If your phone doesn't have a 3.5mm output, you can use a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter for android phones or a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter for Apple iPhones to connect the KZ Castor IEMs.

Alternatively, the best-sounding option is to go for a USB Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) to connect your IEMs. A good DAC makes a considerable difference to the overall sound of your set up and these DACs are highly capable and outperform inexpensive adapters. If you are looking for the best presentation of your music then a dedicated USB DAC is the way to go.

Do I really need a Digital To Analog Converter (DAC) or Amplifier to use these IEMs?

You don't necessarily need a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) or Amplifiers to use the KZ Castor IEMs, as they can be plugged directly into the 3.5mm output of your smartphones, tablets or laptops. They usually have enough power to drive these Earphones. However, using a dedicated DAC can improve the overall sound quality and provide a more detailed reproduction, especially if you are listening to Lossless or Hi-Res music.

I have brought this product few weeks back and I didn't like it as it has over powerful bass and it was uncomfortable on my ears so i decided to return it within 1 week according to the policy of headphone zone. Headphone zone has initiated the pickup of product but cancel led it later and never got back to me. I even tried to approach them through mail and WhatsApp but they didn't even care. I have decided that I'll never buy a product from here onwards from headphone zone because of this careless behaviour. Never expected this bad service from them

Worst response from head phone zone

I had ordered kz castor and I initiated return as I didn't like the product and when I initiated return they didn't pick up order later when I posted bad review then they initiated return and took my product back but till now I didn't get any refund to account it's been more than 2 weeks but no response. I don't know what kind of business they are doing. I have brought products worth of more than 15k from head phone zone till now but still I'm not receiving minimum basic service. I don't even have words to explain my dissatisfaction towards headphone zone service.

KZ Best Sound Quality with better thump in Bass

I have already used KZ ZSN Pro X. Now i bought KZ Castor also. Below are the gears i used.

Mobile : One Plus 8T
DAC & Amp : iBasso DC03
Wireless Module : KZ AZ09 Pro

I have tested this with wired along with a DAC & Amp and also wireless using a wireless module as well. So obviously it sounds lot better with wired compared to wireless as i use DAC & Amp. Compared to KZ ZSN Pro X, bass is much better in Castor but mids are better in KZ ZSN Pro X. If you love to hear music with thump bass, better to go with KZ Castor. If you like it balanced, go with KZ ZSN Pro X. Also you have 4 tuning switches which you can use to customize the sound as per your taste. using these 4 tuning switches, you can create 16 sound stages. However you cannot see high change in these sound stages but you ll definitely see slight changes.

Overall a great chance of IEM with thump bass and that too pricing around 1800. A must go for bass lovers.

Thanks a lot for your detailed and genuine feedback, we're glad that you have such positive thoughts about the product and we'll share your thoughts with the brand as well. It'll also help our fellow customers to make the right choice!

Really good for the price

As advertised, Castor (bass) has better bass by default and when you use the turn switch, you can increase it much more. Out of the box, switches 3 and 4 were turned on. I turned them off to compare it against MoonDrop Chu 2 and I kind of still like Chu 2. I loved the foam tips though (experiencing it for the first time) and it gives a decent passive noise cancellation (isolation, maybe?)

The reason I'm giving 5 stars is because it is as promised. The bass is good and one can tune it using the turn switches (4 switches => 16 unique combinations) as per their liking.

For a similar budget, it's better to go with Chu 2 unless you want that extra bass or the ability to tune.

Hey Praveen, thank you so much for the amazing feedback! It means a lot to us. We are so happy to hear that you are loving our products and services.

Unbelievable bassy iem!

I have a fist of iems from ve monk to dq6, (lot of people like me stuck in under 3k iem segment! So don't know how 50k 80k segment sounds!) but never seen this type of clean bassy iem! Such a wide sound stage unbelievable! You can customize it as your taste. Push it to v shape or shine it as hi-fi iem or boss of the Bass! So many reviewed it takes 16 type customization (4x4!) But it's not true, only 4 styles you can mod it! first 2 switchs dedicated to bass last 2 dedicated to high frequencies. Don't confuse switchs are not aloted to particular frequency equalization it's just add some more decibels to bass segment or treble.
Value for money. Underrated duel dd.
Must buy.

Hey Dixit, thanks a lot for this lovely review and we are glad you are enjoying it! Keep the music playing.
