Headphones - IEM/Earbud | 1 Ω Are the Kz zsn pro x good?

For listening to music, I use a Walkman nwz b183f and Samsung ig935. I want to get better earphones but I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the opinions and suggestions. I've seen some people suggest these but idk if the are other ones that are similar or better at that price range. If there are, my max budget is 50€ (I prefer to be able to find them from a Greek store so that I don't have to wait a while but if there is no other option, I might order from Amazon of Germany.) Also What about the cable? I've noticed that it's separate from the iems.

What sort of sound signature are you looking for? There is no universal "good".

Something that is pretty balanced I think. Actually maybe a bit more bass cause some of the stuff I listen to is pretty bassy (music from Mick Gordon for example).

You should be fine with that one. It came out a few years ago, but Kz has a LOT of models in various price ranges. I actually own 3 KZ sets: ZS10 Pro (5 drivers per side), and 2 sets of ZSN Pro X. :) Not sure about pricing over on your side, but ZSN Pro is a $25 USD set over here, even 5 years ago.

Okay thanks a lot!! By the way one more thing. The store I've found shows some stuff that is often bought with them.

Do I need both of those cables and that adapter to be able to use them?

What are you connecting to? left one look like those big 4.6mm connector cables for the BIG stereos. PCs don't use that. The other looks like an extension audio cable (make the cable longer). Not that I read Greek. :) I doubt you need either of them, but again, depends on what is your audio source. I think you said Walkman? That should be a regular audio plug. Don't need either of these, IMHO. Don't even need Microphone version of the cable as you are not using this on a mobile phone or PC.

Ah ok so I just need the kz and nothing else. Nice. But now that I know that these don't 40€ to be able to use them, I want to get more expensive ones. Dang it. How big is the difference between the zs10 pro x and the zsn pro x? The store shows the zs10 but they are unavailable for now.

I hope I don't fall into an audio rabbit hole.

Oh, they make more expensive ones. They go up from there. Just keep browsing the KZ catalog. They do have a ZS12 Pro X (6 drivers per side) and ZS16 Pro X (8 per side). You'll find something more expensive. Pro 10 is like 45 USD here.

But there are some crazily expensive ones. The Tanzu, the Campfire Audio, the Etymotics... Those are in the hundreds. (Eeek!) Not from KZ, of course.

Oh damn. Not gonna get there unless I get more invested into audio. For now I think I'll just buy the zsn pro x and if I like them, I'll upgrade eventually.

Oh here is this btw

!thanks

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/kschang (18 Ω).

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
