QKZ x HBB - Khan
In-Ears With Dual Dynamic DriversUnfortunately, even if we desire to, we won't be able to resurrect this product. The Museum is where we pay our respects to end-of-life, old, archived, but not forgotten products. This page was made with a lot of love and will live on for posterity. What to say, we're sentimental people. 😔
While this product is gone forever, here are others we recommend
Customers praised these IEMs for exceptional bass performance with a V-shaped sound signature. Many noted "smooth" audio, wide soundstage, and clear vocals. Ideal for bass lovers and beginners. Some concerns about cable quality, comfort fit for smaller ears, low volume levels, and heavier weight.
- Super bass and mid. Actually I am not expected this bass sound, and clear audio.
- I feel like a kid again. The subwoofer really brings out the bass in a way that makes you dance.
- Smooth all the way. No fatigue. Wide sound stage. Bass heads will also be pretty pleased.
At full volume it’s sound like another headphones in medium volume. Tweaking the equaliser causes the HF alone to go up. Cable is flimsy and tangles more than noodles. When I had time to check the headphones out after purchasing the return period was over, otherwise would have returned it. Not worth the cost.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review for the QKZ x HBB - Khan. We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy these headphones. We suggest using a portable DAC&Amp along with it since the inbuilt DAC in mobile phones and laptops can't power the IEM to its full potential and could be the reason why the IEM isn't loud enough for your preference.
If you love listening to music then there is this website "Headphone Zone" which provides you with a listening experience that you never witnessed in India and that too is what your pocket permits.
I bought this QKZ x HBB - Khan and I must admit that it has a sound signature that I was looking for for so long.
I am a bass head and it just provides the right base, it's not thumping like what is available in the market, and at the same time, it has perfect mids too. I mean it's just perfect And has Crystal clear sound.
I do recommend the audiophile from this website and I can vouch for them that you will not be disappointed in any way. Thank you, so much and I am happy that I came across your platform. Keep doing the good work I appreciate your efforts to build this startup. Best wishes.

QKZ HBB Khan punches well above its weight. While comparing it with the recently purchased (also from HPZ) Raptgo Hook X, which costs almost 5 times the Khan- I was pleasantly surprised at how close the Khan got to the Hook X, albeit with a balanced cable. Definitely a steal at this price, buy the QKZ balanced cable with the money saved
Hey Dipanjan, thanks a lot for the amazing review! We're glad you're happy with the QKZ HBB Khan. Keep the music playing!
Going through the traditional technical review is not gonna do justice to khan, so sharing my general thoughts...
I've tried a lot of budget IEMs in the past, always looking for the best sound quality. But I realized that I was missing out on something important - the FUN
That's where the Khan comes in. This IEM is so much different to listen to, I feel like a kid again. The subwoofer really brings out the bass in a way that just makes you want to dance. And even though the tweeter driver is small, the soundstage is surprisingly wide.
But more than that, it's the overall listening experience that makes the QKZ X HBB Khan stand out. It's not just about the technical aspects of sound quality - it's about how the music makes you feel. And let me tell you, this IEM makes me feel great. It's like I'm rediscovering my favorite songs all over again. This thing sounds more like home theatre than normal iems.
If you're someone who's tired of obsessing over sound quality and just wants to have some fun listening to music, then the QKZ X HBB Khan is definitely worth checking out. It's not the most analytical IEM out there, but that's not the point. It's about enjoying the music in a way that goes beyond just the technical specs.
I got emotional trying some of my old playlists, it reminded me of my computer speakers I used to blast full volume and shake my room with some Pitbull, Skrillex , Avicci or David Guetta, those 2013 days : )

These provide the bass that bass-head audiophiles look for but don't get usually, being said that though the
COMFORT isn't that good on these as these don't get inserted deep into ears due to bigger aperture which only seems to fit in my ears with the smallest earbuds provided in box, people with bigger ear canal sizes may benefit more from these.
That said , the quality of sound and it's tuning is done tastefully.
BASS is powerful and shows presence
MIDS - are a bit recessed and the vocals are not as focused as on my Blon bl03, but are still enjoyable.
Treble - depends on the size of earbuds used with these and level of insertion you can get by pushing these in your ears.
If you have smaller ear canal size and want good mids and vocal presence, these are not for you, but for bass they are totally recommended.
Also watching movies and shows with these is what enjoyed even more than listening to music.
The IEM has a smooth V-shaped sound with some emphasis on bass. Good for the price
Hey Raghav, thanks a lot for your amazing review!
Am not an audiophile, donno technicalities n terminologies..
But once it is in to ears.. I felt like , it's better than headphones. Good n best music overall..
I opened old Playlist of mine I.e. AR Rehman 'S OLD hits.. all of them .. made me joyous again..
Good bass n immersive audio..
Thank you khan

It's a different kind of sound at this price point.
Smooth all the way.No fatigue.Wide sound stage.
Bass heads will also be pretty pleased.
Hey Rahul, thanks a lot for your amazing review!
The Khans are a great set of beginner IEMs if you’re just starting out. Tuned by HBB with a reference of the Truthear crinacle zero, they’re pretty close to the Harman target curve. My listening preferences are in line with HBB, with Rock, HipHop, some pop thrown in for good measure, and a lot of OSTs. These pair great with the iFi Go link, with plenty of power to spare. Comfort is sketchy, depends on your ear shapes, but I have no problem keeping these on for a couple of hours.
Overall a good pair for IEMs with great tuning for the asking price. Would recommend.
Hey Dr Kaustubh, 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.
All I can say is I love them, these sound like expensive studio monitors lots of love to Head phone zone for guiding me to buy what I actually wanted,bought 2 IEMs before these but was not satisfied but now I found the perfect once

QKZ x HBB - Khan
I discovered some unheard Sub-base with QKZ HBB Khan. Ok for comfort but awesome for fun listening sessions. Base is overpowered from technical point of view, but it doesn't affect other frequencies, like other "famous" brands signature sound. Price could be somewhat more aggressive.
QKZ x HBB - Khan
Loved this earphone, using this for past one month and listen to various category songs and it performs really well in all category. For a beginner audiophile, it was right on spot.

DESCRIPTION
QKZ AND HBB, IN COLLABORATION, BRING IN THE ALL-NEW SPECTACULAR IEM - THE KHAN
With the increase in in-ear monitor manufacturers, the audio industry has evolved. QKZ entered the competition and created some in-ear monitors that are well-tuned. This time QKZ has partnered with one of the most resourceful audio reviewers in the audiophile world, "Bad Guy, Good Audio Reviews" (also known as Hawaiian Bad Boy), to develop a high-performance in-ear monitor - the Khan. The development of the Khan has incorporated the technical know-how of QKZ and the knowledge and experience of HBB. The QKZ X HBB Khan is a dual dynamic driver in-ear monitor that promises to deliver a spectacular performance.
TUNED TO PERFECTION AND FEATURES DUAL DYNAMIC DRIVERS THAT DELIVER BREATHTAKING SONIC PERFORMANCE
The QKZ X HBB Khan features dual dynamic drivers that are tuned to handle specific frequencies. The 10mm dynamic driver handles the low frequencies that act as a subwoofer, and the 7.8mm driver handles the mid and high frequencies. With an emphasis on the sub-bass region for that extra thump and rumble, the Khan can create a balanced sound over the whole frequency range thanks to this crossover technique. The QKZ X HBB Khan is unique; when it comes to its sonic delivery. The bass on the Khan is well-pronounced and does not bleed into the mids, as it has a dedicated driver for the low frequency. It is just the right mix that adds the required thump and rumble. The mids are also well Balanced with equal emphasis on the treble, which is very open and holographic in its approach. Experience the magic of dual dynamic drivers and enter a world of pure sonic bliss!
ERGONOMICALLY DESIGNED WITH 3D PRINTED SHELLS FOR UTMOST COMFORT
The materials and technology used for Khan are of high quality and emanate confidence. The industry-standard DLP-3D printing of the fourth generation is modified to create acoustic conduits with more accuracy so that you may enjoy the purest natural sound. The Khan effectively filters out extraneous noises to purify the audio for you, together with the specifically engineered metal grid and dual vents for pressure release. The Khan's 6.8g weight and ergonomic design make it easy to wear, which is the second requirement for being mobile. Additionally, it has an eye-catching high-tech design with a resin-coated case carved to resemble dragon scales.
BUNDLED WITH A HIGH-QUALITY OFC CABLE WITH IN-LINE CONTROLS
The QKZ X HBB Khan features a high-quality OFC cable enabling lossless signal transmission. It also hosts an in-line control and a high-quality microphone. The in-line button control allows you to play/pause, toggle tracks, and answer or reject a call.
