Customers praised the IEM's "immersive music experience" with excellent soundstage, clear vocals, and deep bass. Many found it ideal for orchestral and gaming audio. However, some noted harsh treble at high volumes and channel imbalance issues after extended use. Equalizer adjustments recommended for optimal sound. Great value for entry-level audiophiles.
Absolutely loved the soundstage and neutral bright tuning of this iem.
The KZ ZS12 Pro X is a solid choice for those new to in-ear monitors or looking for an affordable upgrade from standard earbuds. Known for its emphasis on value and performance, KZ delivers a compelling package with this model.
### **Sound Quality**
The ZS12 Pro X has a V-shaped sound signature, meaning the bass and treble are slightly elevated compared to the midrange. This makes it ideal for genres like EDM, pop, and hip-hop, where punchy bass and sparkling highs are key. The bass is deep and impactful without overwhelming, while the treble is bright, though it might feel sharp to those sensitive to higher frequencies. The mids are slightly recessed but still clear, making vocals and instruments sound present but not overly emphasized.
### **Build and Comfort**
These IEMs feel sturdy, thanks to a mix of metal and high-quality resin. The ergonomic design fits snugly in the ears, providing good isolation from outside noise, making them great for commuting or casual listening. However, the included eartips might need upgrading for the best fit and comfort.
### **Cables and Connectivity**
The ZS12 Pro X features a detachable 2-pin cable, which adds versatility and longevity. If the cable wears out, you can easily replace or upgrade it. The braided cable also feels durable, though it can be slightly prone to tangling.
### **Who Is It For?**
This model is perfect for beginners who want to explore better audio quality without breaking the bank. It’s also a great option for gamers or casual listeners seeking a balanced mix of affordability and performance.
### **Final Thoughts**
For its price, the KZ ZS12 Pro X offers impressive sound and build quality. While it might not satisfy audiophiles looking for neutral tuning, it’s an excellent introduction to the world of IEMs for anyone seeking better audio clarity and detail.
**Rating: 4/5**
Great for beginners and casual listeners. Some fine-tuning or upgrades (e.g., eartips) might be needed for the best experience.
Clear vocals and deep bass, very impressed!
⭐⭐⭐☆☆
The sound quality is genuinely good, especially for gaming and music, with clear details and nice imaging. Unfortunately, after a few hours of use, the left side becomes noticeably quieter than the right. I've tried different devices, cables, and foam tips, but the issue still occurs. It's frustrating because the IEMs sound great when they're working properly, but the inconsistency makes them hard to recommend without reservations.
This is by far the best IEM I would recommend for people who love to listen to music from films or live orchestral performances, the saturation is very good, and the sound is very natural, the bass is heavy and clean, I am rating this a 4 start only because it sometime feels that its not loud enough.
The iem shines with an immersive music experience, best kz experience i listened to so far. Good job TAS!
This is my first set of IEMs and unfortunately the treble is too harsh. If you listen to music at a relatively high volume then this isn't for you. I had to change the tuning to 123 up and 4 down and on top of that change the equalizer on the phone to get any acceptable sound and even that isn't something great like I was expecting from an IEM. My WF-1000XM3 and WH-1000XM4 are probably better. Maybe even the OnePlus Buds 4.
Please avoid this unless you know what you're doing. I should've listened to the reviews which states to go with the KZ ZS10 Pro X instead. Or Waner. But I was looking at this for the looks and metal build.
On the plus side, if you play competitive FPS games this has pretty decent sound separation. Maybe slightly better than the XM4 I use.
Great sounding IEMs
Previously I had KZ IEM which experience was superb, tried to buy upgraded IEM but this seems mistake not even single time this KZ ZS12 pro X match my expectations.. seems wrong decision to choose it. 😔
This is my second IEM from KZ brand first one is ZSN pro which worked fine for an year and 3 months and then faced right side not working, however I used it extensively
Now this new mode KZ ZS12 Pro X is of better quality sound than my previous version, however the equilizer switches are not showing much impact on sound quality, but still the quality of sound is very good and I am happy with discount offered by the audio store and they delivered the product with in 48 hours.
KZ ZS12 Pro X IEM With Mic
I have been using KZ ZS12 Pro X IEM With mic for more than a week. Very good and satisfied and value for money.Delivery was fast and response from the audio store was very quick and support was excellent. Clarified all my doubts on whatsapp and I really appreciate The Audio Store for that. I will buy all my needs again from The Audio Store.
Purchased in November, writing the review February. These are worth the money. For an entry level IEM the sound is quiet pleasant. I bought a second pair for my wife and she has been using them almost every day listening to music when she goes to work. The only con would be the weight but that's personal preference. Pair these with a dac and better wires and you'll be good to go. Wire in the box is not up to the mark for me.
Excellent sound quality, comfortable fit, good microphone.
Outstanding - Love my KZ ZS12 Pro X IEM With Mic from The Audio Store!
Awesome as a new audiophile it’s budget friendly and i recommend it 💯 don’t even doubt it just go for it
At 1st this IEM might not impress you...it has High trebel sounds its like a Stripped down technical computer....you wont get better sound until you use the equalizer to setup it up...But after setting up the equalizer with little increased BASS the high trebel sounds will reduce and you notice all the sounds with clear perfection....i already have Kz castor its a very good IEM for its price at first i though KZ is much better But after a small tuning and using equalizer app in my Mobile phone with Cheap Dac...the true Potenial of Kz Zs12proX was revealled .....Great IEM for Pro audio lovers.....Thanks for audio store for fast delievery
Experience with these IEM earphones are AMAZING , very Convenient and Comfortable fit in ears

Its soo dam good ,i just love the sound quality Its so crips and you can hear perfectly every element that are used in a song just like hearing a live recording.
It feel like music stunning
Thank you Audio Store for the free gift. I am elated.
I am extremely satisfied with EarAudio 4.4 mm Male to 3.5 mm female adapter cable. The quality of the product is top notch and well made. I am now able to use my 3.5 mm cable with my iems plugged to my dac. Recommended!
It's a good headphone under this budget and leads give me a reliable delivery products as I satisfied from audio stores and if I buy remote sound products I will buy from audio stores and the very good very product in the budget 1200 rupees it's a good like premium and classic IEM IN EAR MONITOR.
Great sound quality with best in class clarity in beats and sounds.
Great bass texture, vocals and mids are clear and sound good, it has good details and sounds clean overall. Takes eq well. Major step up from wireless earbuds in sound quality. Product got delivered in 5 days dtdc, nicely packed. Cable and tips are not the best, forgiveable for the price tho.
Product is genuine but the main thing is the delivery time, it's awesome, they're really quick in this thing and also pretty genuine store.
My review is after 4 days of listening. The packaging and delivery was great. This is my first audiophile IEM with the latest planar driver tech. I own the Tangzu Waner SG and Kefine Klean as entry level IEMs.
Astralis IEM plays any genre of music flawlessly with fast transients, rich-textured bass, perfect vocals, smooth treble with a touch of airyness and sparkle which is non-fatiguing. As I am treble sensitive, these can be worn comfortably for longer duration.
Please note they might sound low in the beginning, the volume needs to be cranked up a bit as they require a tad bit amplification with the DAC. The included DAC is perfectly fine even if you don't own any other DAC. Works perfectly with phone or laptop; though using the DAC is recommended to get the full potential of this IEM.
Coming to the sound output with the DACs:
With the included DT01 Pro - More neutral presentation with soundstage which is mostly centre-staged.
With the Audiocular Note - Bass which has more punch + rumble and better energetic presentation with soundstage which is wider and has a better sense of openness.
Among the DACs, the Audiocular Note brings out the full potential of the Astralis.
Thanks again to The Audio Store for a great packaging and delivery experience.
This iem sounds very good.Good for music and gaming,i loved it and I'm satisfied for buying this.
Worth buying it.
The KZ Castor Pro is one of the best entry-level IEMs I've used in this price range. The sound quality is impressive, with clear vocals, detailed instruments, and punchy bass that doesn't overpower the mids. It offers excellent clarity, making every song enjoyable.
It's also a fantastic choice for beginners who want to experience audiophile-grade sound without spending a lot of money. Whether you're listening to music, watching movies, gaming, or enjoying podcasts, the audio feels clean and immersive.
The comfort is good for long listening sessions, and the build quality feels solid. If you pair it with a decent DAC, the sound becomes even better with improved detail and separation.
Overall, I highly recommend the KZ Castor Pro to anyone looking for an affordable entry-level IEM. It offers outstanding value for money and is a great starting point for anyone entering the audiophile hobby.
I can catch all the little details in songs with the hi-res audio. I chose these earphones to enhance my movie-watching experience, and they do the job. I watched a bunch of scenes from 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' over and over, and these IEMs gave me a hell of an experience! It felt like I was watching this movie in a theatre for the first time.
Big thanks to The Audio Store for bringing these experiences to us!
Overall very Good product but value for money is High
Excellent IEMs for the price. The sound quality is clear and detailed, with great instrument separation and balanced tuning. They're also comfortable for long listening sessions. Definitely one of the best options in this price range.
Delivery was on time, packing was nice. Product is well producted. Iems themselves are good and best in this budget range. But require specific frequency and players to get most our of them.
for me this is a game changer it helped me a lot .
value for money
it supports in all devices including macbook and ios devices .i am really satified with purchase . thank you
