They're selling a 12 driver IEM for less than $100 and rumor has it they sound like total dog shit.
Head-fi review went up today funnily enough:
https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/kz-zsx.23948/reviewsThis review has a comparison with the T2s:
https://primeaudio.org/kz-zsx-earphone-review/if you love bass plus a clean sound and micro details, the ZSX would be the one to get and if you want a very natural and musical tone, the T2 is still the one to beat in the budget segment.
I think I'd prefer natural and musical although I would like to hear both.
Also find the ZSX ugly, they look like those Belgian chocolate seashells...

From what I can see, lots of people are attracted to KZ stuff, based on the fact that they take design cues from high end IEMs from the likes of Campfire, and many of these people seem to be new to IEMs. Not to poo poo their opinions, but I doubt they have as much experience with IEMs as people who praise T2s. I'd probably skip 'em to be honest and go for the T2.
The biggest thing for me though is Tin's parent company, Linsoul, are putting some really great stuff out. They seem to be far more HiFi orientated than KZ. KZ are very guilty of just throwing as many drivers into their IEMs as possible to give you perceived value, but they're not tuning the IEM itself which means their response graphs are all over the shop. They're selling a 12 driver IEM for less than $100 and rumor has it they sound like total dog shit.
Tin on the other hand are actually tuning their IEMs according to feedback from people in the community and real world usage. Tin's for me all day.
