Tiny but damn surprising. The KZ HDS1 sound crisp on the highs, but quite mediocre on the mids. The bass is punchy but don't expect any amazing bass, or sub-bass, from these. One important point - the loudness of these earphones is insufficient, even on amplified sources.

Overall, these earphones are really comfortable, and you basically forget that they are in your ears. Lows / BassQuite unbelievable bass for such tiny drivers, yet the sub-bass bare exists in these earphones, and the mid-bass isn't quite enough. Mids / VocalsThe vocals are precise but sound muffled compared to the lows and highs, like they are being deprioritized in the highs' favor. The maximum loudness isn't sufficient. Highs / TrebleThe highs are very crisp and precise, pure enjoyment. Could be overwhelming sometimes though. Frequency Response![]() Published on 2015-10-27 01:22:31 (GMT)
