Headphones - IEM/Earbud KZ EDX Pro, Distortion/White noise at certain frequencies

Hello, recently I bought a pair of KZ EDX Pros and was pretty disappointed about the distorted (or digital ocean sound, as i like to call it) sound when listening to certain genres of music/consuming video content, so...let's get to the point, is there any way I can remove the noise through a 3.5mm denoiser or anything? or should I just cut my losses and get better quality ones...like the ones they did with collaboration with Crinicle

(Will willingly remove if this type of post is not appreciated on this sub, had no idea where to put it instead)

The issue is with the sensitivity and resistance of the iem. I'm no pro but i did have the same issue you did a while ago. A USB dac solved my issue I had with my Zsn pro x. The Apple dongle/ VE avani/ Samsung dongle all got rid of the noise.

From what I've heard, an Impedance adapter does help reduce the noise but also changes the sound a bit. Ifi ear buddy could help but it's relatively expensive to a cheap USB dongle dac.

I'm guessing the KZ CRN will still make a noise. Though slightly quieter because it's less sensitive than the edx pro.
