Product Information

To give you the purest natural music, 4th generation industry-level DLP-3D printing is adapted to make the acoustic conduits in greater precision. In terms of sound, the bass and sub-bass frequencies are prominent but not overly excessive, providing a pleasant listening experience for bass enthusiasts without overwhelming the overall sound signature. Also no, the treble doesn’t contrast tiny minute details with the surrounding melody like a detail forward budget king. Its bouncy nature helps with the sense of fullness to the track, allied with the sense of impact and the rest of the tuning, that we will come to in a second. At times I downplayed my feelings over this ‘Budget Baddy’ as I try not to hype anything but… let the “hype-train” roll people.

mm TRS plug on the source side with decent strain relief incorporated past the sizable housing it is fitted on to.

Vocals and instruments like the saxophone, cello, and piano sound particularly good with this sound signature and is pleasant to listen to music for extended periods. Artists take a phenomenal amount of time and effort to record music at the finest studios around the world to capture every detail in the music.

Despite that, however, this midrange performs well in a technical sense too, with good instrument separation and spacing. Contrasting with a more pillowy bass, the latter displays a more impactful lower region, while the Zero has more clarity across the spectrum, coming out as better separated in the mid-range. Seen above is the measured frequency response for both channels of the QKZ x HBB Khan which can be inspected further here if interested. But hey, if all you have is a small dongle dac, trust me… you’re good, the XHBB will sound nice with it.Obviously, with a dedicated USB DAC/AMP or Digital Audio Player, the Khan scales well and delivers enhances sound performance. The angled cable housing helps make use of the highly curved cable hooks in my case but here too you may want to use a heat gun or hairdryer to re-shape them if you find the cable to not fit over and behind your ears well. The QKZ - X HBB IEMs provide a much more accurate and authentic reproduction of the original music recording and present a very high overall sound quality. I have purchased a number of budget offerings over the years, and I had the HBB Mele which I enjoyed very much, sadly on one particular work site these expired, getting caught up in an argument between gravity and some bulldozer tracks.
