 My opinions after using KZ EDX for a long time.


Good things of KZ EDX


Awesome sound quality


For the price, it's sound quality is really good and convincing. If you're listening to the music or playing a multiplayer FPS game, this earphone got some badass sound experience for you. Deep dynamic bass, responsive to almost any frequency, loud and capable of rich sound experience. These qualities points to a high-end earphone. And it is. It's sound quality is so impressive that (and even) it can be compared with a high-end earphone's sound experience. Such a convincing earphone for a budget seeker.

Build Quality


The build quality is really good. Ear hooks are good. The wire feels pretty durable. And the wire material is copper coated with a protective insulator layer. The speaker got a ergonomic design. Note though, I didn't checked the wireless kit. Because you have to purchase them separately. And I didn't purchase that kit.

Long lasting


I purchased this earphones about a year and a half ago. It still performs really well. The wires didn't torn because they are durable as I said earlier. In this budget, it's really surprising that it lasted this long and and still giving it's peak performance.

Noise cancelling


How good noise cancelling would you expect from a 7-10$ earphone? Not much, obviously... But this earphones noise cancelling power is sick! For this budget, I'm surprised to see such a powerful noise cancelling system. It noticeably omits outer noise while your gaming or listening to the music. At least, you can get rid of that jet-like noisy GPU coil whine while gaming.

Sound quality


Yes, one of the biggest judging fact about a audio output device is sound quality. Well, it's a customized heavy bass earphone and performs really well in low or high frequency audios. So, gaming on this can be great. I played some racing games and a FPS game with this earphone. It's really reaponsive even at a low frequency range. So I can easily detect enemy foot steps and deeply absorve the engine sound in a racing or a weapon sound in a FPS or shooter game. Supports dynamic frequency to give the best experience possible for the buck.

Replaceable wire:


Well, technically you can replace the wire of the KZ EDX. But the wire it supports is B type. Earphone wires usually got A, B and C type. Similar to USB. In my local market, I didn't find any A type wire. Only one seller had B type wires in stock. And all other replaceable wires were C type. So, it means that it's hard to find B type wires in the market let alone A type wires. At least in my country Bangladesh. So, the replaceable wires for B type earphones may one day be obsolete. But technically you can do that. Good luck finding one;)

The Bad:


There isn't much to complain about this. Especially considering it's price tag. However, the ear hooks are a bit annoying for those who don't like ear hooks. And the sharp plastic edge of the ear hooks can bend the coating of the wire and damage it. Don't worry, you can use that earphone for years to come before a noticeable damage occurs to the edge of the wire coating. Because the coating is really durable. And it will damage the coating. Not the core wire. So you won't notice any difference in the audio because the core wire will remain undamaged.

Conclusion (Should you buy one?)


KZ EDX is a great choice for it's budget. It's sound quality, durability, design  impresses me. But should you buy one in 2023. KZ EDX is a great earphone indeed. But a year or two ago, KZ released their Pro edition of their EDX lineup. Now it's price is almost the same of the normal EDX. I don't own one but the Pro got both good reviews and a healthy reputation. The good thing is, it's cable is type C. So, the KZ EDX Pro edition is the one I recommend. But if you own a KZ EDX already, I'll say that it's a great bang from your buck.

ION Rating: 8.5 (Awesome from the price point)
