Pros: A 7 single dynamic IEM that measures well (score 74 across seven measurements), with bass on target down to 20 Hz.

Cons: The listing sells three tunings (Balanced, Bass and Hi-Res), so pick the silver Balanced version this rating covers. Treble sits about 1.6 dB below target.

Frequency Response

How the KZ EDA Balanced measures across the audible range, against the Harman in-ear target that most listeners prefer in blind tests. Where the line sits above the target that range sounds louder (more bass, brighter treble), below it quieter. The curve is the median of 7 independent measurements, so one odd sample or rig cannot skew it, and both lines are shifted so their 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
