KZ ZST Candy Edition IEM – Php 1,100 (Urban Audiophile)
You might not be familiar with this brand but Knowledge Zenith (KZ) Audio is an emerging Chinese brand. It stands for superior sound quality and truly great value. KZ has been progressing quite nicely with high quality dynamic driver IEMs for the most reasonable prices in the marketplace today. ZST is in the “ZS” model lineup and are therefore bass-forward or bass oriented in-ear monitors. This model is KZ’s first venture into hybrid (dynamic driver + balanced armature) territory and in my humble opinion this is an excellent IEM. In fact, I recently bought one for myself and I think the sound is quite remarkable. Lucky enough because they included a free case for my KZ ZST. You can visit Urban Audiophile‘s page on facebook.
