In China, there are currently a huge number of brands that produce headphones.

As for the headphones themselves, KZ now hasThe range includes a huge number of models. Starting from the simplest dynamic in-ear headphones to more advanced hybrids, reinforcement models and TWS headsets. As practice shows, all KZ models are very different from each other in sound, there are both frankly “passable” The models are quite interesting, considering the cost. Of course, you shouldn’t expect top-end “audiophile” sound, but the company is not trying to climb into the top league. At least for now. The company has its own branded store on AliExpress, where the entire current range is available. And the official Facebook page. And the manufacturer’s slogan is the phrase “Don’t forget that the main purpose of headphones is to enjoy music.” Below are the 10 most popular models.
1. KZ ZS10 Pro

The most popular at the moment areKZ ZS10 Pro headphones. This is a hybrid model that uses a configuration of one dynamic and four armature drivers per earphone. The outer part of the headphones is metal, the inner half is transparent plastic. You can see what's going on inside. The headphone cable is removable, so theoretically it can be replaced. But it is worth considering that two-pin 0.75 mm connectors are used for connection, which in themselves are not unique. But in the case of the KZ ZS10 Pro, they have a recessed design for better fixation, so third-party ones need to be selected carefully. The complete cable is braided, with non-removable earhooks without the possibility of adjustment. The mounting method is behind the ear only. KZ ZS10 Pro is available in versions with and without a microphone, and there are different color options.

The second most popular model with a formidable nameKZ ZSX Terminator. These are also hybrid headphones, but there are even more drivers inside. For low frequencies, one dynamic emitter is still responsible, and playback of the rest of the range is assigned to 5 reinforcing drivers. Two paired to mid frequencies and one to high. The cases are large, which is to be expected with this configuration inside. As in the previous model, the outer part of the headphones is made of metal, the inner one is made of transparent plastic, which is cast in shape a la custom. The cable is also exactly the same: a rather thin braid of not the best quality. But at this price it is permissible. Similarly, for connection, slightly customized two-pin 0.78 mm connectors are used.

Under one position in the KZ brand store onAliExpress company decided to place actually two models: KZ ATE and KZ ATR. Although the difference between them is very small, so this move is quite logical. These are inexpensive in-ear headphones with dynamic drivers and a behind-the-ear type of mount. The peculiarity is that a non-removable cable of a standard type with translucent insulation and without any earhooks is used. Instead, small weights (made of metal or plastic depending on the model) were placed on the cable below each earbud to simply pull the cable behind the ear. There are options with and without microphone.
