Maybe itās the first tuning to match Western treble
ideals at the expense of disappointing Chinese fans and customers.

They are mostly upset with bass though. They said the bass is too light yet muffled ā¦I also saw one reviewer on YouTube said the same thing. Based on the fact that he likes edx pro I assuming v-shaped lovers are gonna disappointed here. I can imagine it lacks mid bass but I donāt quite get how it could be muffled at the same time.

Most reviewer that i actually follows points out it have better quality bass with better texturing and sounds more natural than ZEX. But the bass quantity is lower than ZEX which is contention some of the reviewer who expect ZEX level bass quantity.
I tried to see some newish reviewer but some begin with complaining that 3 driver hybrid is harder to drive compared to 2 driver hybrid (duh) despite it still reach decent volume with smartphone out and iām afraid some conflate quantity with quality so, less bass=muffled bass.

I received my zex pro today. I tried the default tips and changed them 30seconds later for spinfit cp100; safest bet for the seal. Iāll have to try these tips another time.
For now, this set seems in the warmish side: it do not get sibilances where I usually have. The bass doesnāt seem to bleed to much if at all.
The cable is crap.
The fit is not bad at all. It is thick though, so side sleeping with these could be a bit complicated.

The tips and cables have gotten worse on the recent KZ sets, but the tuning has gotten way better. They have managed to make me miss the old weird brown cables.
Very much disagree. I really like it! It doesnāt have much ārolled up memoryā. Itās nice and thin, right angle connector is a bit too thicc but other than that? Itās a āgoodā cable. Not one Iād pay extra for certainly. But a good cable for an included one (beats the FH3 lol)
What displeased me on the cable is:
- the fact that it took me 2 minutes to figure out where the left and right were
- the bending of the connector: it is bent towards the head, increasing the risk of discomfort
Regarding fit, the wing on the top destroyed my ears when I tried side sleeping in about 5 minutes. Now I feel this part hurt even when Iām standing up.

something similar with DQ6, can be used for normally but the wings kinda make my ear hurt after awhile.
Fit is always personal 
And thatās kinda what I have with nearly every QDC connector. They print on the L an R where you canāt read it unless you angle it juuuuust right.
For me comfort i fine. I have small ears so the hooks grab on perfectly
Looks like Iāll be getting mine tomorrow or Monday. Any song requests for me to try?
Vitas - 7th element comes to mind.

LOL i had to youtube this. On my TWS (Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro), it is like all bass
I compared the zex pro with my main reference: the moondrop aria.
And it is a hard call for me: I find the signatures to be pretty close from one another. The aria has more sub-bass and less mid-bass (Iād say 15%). The treble is smoother on the zex (less sibilances). For now thatās pretty much all I can say. I should compare them more to get other differences, but iām not sure I have enough experience in the hobby to tell really useful and accurate things.

Decided to sell my KZ ZEX Pro. Thought Iād try a tribrid but I donāt hear a difference between 2 or 3 driver types. KZ ZEX Pro (basically new) | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org.
I canāt even tell the difference between 1 and several drivers , nor between driver types. I mainly have mono DD, though, so I donāt have much experience with other technologies.
At the end of the day, what matters is your enjoyment with the set. If you canāt find an edge that this set could have over other sets you already possess, thereās no reason keeping it.
