A pair of headphones with a replaceable cable has many benefits, and one of them is if the connecting cable has a problem, it doesn’t mean that you have to buy a new one.

Really solid performer in under INR 2000

I got this with because of the solid reviews and listened in the "Dan Reviews" Youtube channel and I currently have T3+, Blon BL-03, CCA CRA and other earphones from Bose, Klipsch and Soundmagic. If you love your mids this may be the best thing under 10000/- :), great tonality and Male/Female voices sound just great. There is a little loss in overall resolution and treble areas though. Great fit and absolute joy for long listening sessions with it's warm and non fatiguing sound. I haven't tried any other eartips except the CP-100 that I have which makes it more bassy and less resolving, so sticking to stock tips now but will try with something which boosts the treble a bit and will hopefully make it PERFECT!!!

Exactly like the Hbb .

1sc 1 lr As an avid music enthusiast, I recently acquired the highly anticipated collaboration earphones, and was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. However, I found the unboxing experience to be lackluster and the included accessories, including the eartips, to be of low quality. The provided tips did not provide adequate isolation, prompting me to switch to other tips for better sound isolation. In a nutshell only thing that worth is the earphones itself nothing more nothing less

In terms of sound, the bass and sub-bass frequencies are prominent but not overly excessive, providing a pleasant listening experience for bass enthusiasts without overwhelming the overall sound signature. Although, I did find the bass to be lacking in depth and fullness. On the other hand, the mid-range frequencies are exceptional, especially when it comes to male vocals, which sound rich and warm, almost as if the singer were performing right in front of you. However, I was disappointed with the female vocals, as they lacked the necessary presence and sounded softer than expected. Moreover, the bass occasionally bleeds into the mid-range, which may be noticeable to listeners of certain music genres, such as J-pop or solo.However, for hip-hop and Indian rap and country music enhances the overall listening experience.

Regarding treble, the earphones handle a few instruments with good clarity. Still, when several instruments play simultaneously, the sound becomes muddled, with the bass dominating the higher frequency range. This may be a turnoff for jazz and instrumental music listeners.

When comparing these earphones to the KZ ZSN, I found the vocals to be more pleasing, with rolled-off treble peaks that lend themselves well to extended listening sessions and podcasts. Although the KZ ZSN has excellent sound separation and layering, the QKZ handles bass better, providing a more inviting and enjoyable listening experience.

Lastly, in comparison to the Moondrop SSP, the QKZ earphones are superior, with vocals sounding comparable to the SSP, but with better bass response. While the SSP excels in bass, it lacks clarity in the treble and tends to blend all the instruments together in the high-frequency range, whereas the QKZ handles this aspect more efficiently.

Overall, I would recommend these earphones to individuals who enjoy listening to hip-hop, rap, podcasts, and rock/metal music genres. To address the issues with mid-bass bleed and treble, I recommend using a Wavelet EQ with Project Red V3.

Hey there, thank you so much for your detailed and genuine feedback. We'll make sure to convey your thoughts about the QKZ - X HBB IEMs to the brand as well.
