The KZ Standard
KZ (Knowledge Zenith) is a Chinese in-ear monitor specialist founded in 2008 in Dongguan by Keith Yue, a former Audio-Technica engineer, and Zen Li, a Western-trained classical musician. What began as a Taobao storefront in 2010 became a formally promoted brand in 2013, and KZ's breakthrough moment came in 2016, when its ZST model sold 10,000 units in 15 days. The company has since shipped to 128 countries and become one of the most recognized names in budget-to-midrange in-ear monitors, known for packing genuine multi-driver hybrid configurations into affordable earphones rather than relying on a single dynamic driver.
Engineered With Purpose
Five Drivers Tuned For Energy
A dynamic driver anchors the bass while 4 upgraded 50024 balanced armature drivers handle the mids and highs, tuned together for a V-shaped signature that leans into punch rather than staying neutral.
A Cable Built To Last
A flat, silver-plated cable reinforced with 500D nylon wire connects through a gold-plated 2-pin connector, so it's both detachable and built to resist wear.
Sparkle Without The Harshness
KZ's own tuning notes describe the treble as smooth and sweet with minimal harshness, so the energetic highs stay listenable over longer sessions rather than turning fatiguing.

Both the ZS10 Pro X and ZS10 Pro 2 pack 1 dynamic driver and 4 balanced armatures into the same lineage, but they're tuned for different listeners: the Pro X leans V-shaped with boosted bass and treble out of the box, while the Pro 2 starts flatter and more detail-focused, then lets you dial in extra bass yourself through its tuning switch.
