The KZ ZES With Mic 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 version adds an in-line mic to the cable, for listeners who want something tonally different from a single-DD daily driver and also take calls.
Who the KZ ZES With Mic 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.
Callers and voice chat: The in-line mic on the cable covers calls and voice chat, so one pair handles music and conversations.
Phone listeners with a dongle DAC: Run it from a dongle DAC when your source is a phone.
Skip it if: you only listen to music and prefer a plain cable; the no-mic KZ ZES is the same earphone without the in-line mic.
