The KZ ZES is a hybrid in-ear monitor that pairs an electrostatic driver with a 12mm dynamic driver, the dynamic handling the low end while the electrostatic tweeter covers the top. This is the no-mic version, for listeners who want something tonally different from a single-DD daily driver.
Who the KZ ZES is for
Rotation builders: If your daily driver is a single dynamic driver set, the electrostatic-plus-dynamic layout gives you a tonally different option.
Fans of classic ChiFi hybrids: Electrostatic plus dynamic is a classic ChiFi recipe, and the ZES builds it around a 12mm dynamic for the bass.
Music-first listeners: Without a mic on the cable, this version is aimed at listening rather than calls.
Phone listeners with a dongle DAC: Run it from a dongle DAC when your source is a phone.
Skip it if: you need a mic for calls or voice chat; this listing is the version without one.

KZ ZES vs similar options
vs KZ ZEX Pro: Adds a balanced armature to the electrostatic-plus-dynamic pairing and is also sold without a mic; choose the ZEX Pro for a tribrid, the ZES for the simpler electrostatic and 12mm dynamic layout.
vs CVJ Konoka: A different hybrid recipe: one dynamic, one balanced armature and one vibration driver per side, also without a mic; pick the ZES if you want an electrostatic tweeter paired with a 12mm dynamic.
