MY THOUGHTS —
I’m extremely impressed with these IEMs. I have a few pairs of cans that are by no means “high-end”, but are of decent quality (i.e., AirPods Max, Beyerdynamic Amiron, Sony XM4 over-ears, Sennheiser HD600, regular Apple dirty buds). With all that in mind, I was pleasantly surprised by what the ZS3s had to offer for $49.
I find the top-end to be ever-so-slightly harsh, but not fatiguing. Very high frequency sounds tend to roll off a bit (not as much ‘sustain’ for symbols is how I would describe it), but it’s not that noticeable. Mids are really clean to my ears. Vocals are smooth but clear. I’m also finding a pleasant stereo separation effect for tracks with Dolby Atmos/Spatial Surround features that give the earphones a wider soundstage than I would have thought. Bass is nice, although there is definitely a bit of a boost to the bass frequency response. I wouldn’t call it ‘boomy’, but the bass certainly has presence with these IEMs.
My usage is mixed, as I tend to use my Amirons for home and AirPods Max for travel. I’ve been fitting them in for walks where my AirPods Max aren’t quite practical to carry around. I’ve found them great for walking, as the chassis has an ergonomic design (akin to a wing, but not quite) and they fit in my ears perfectly. I haven’t experienced any issues with them falling out with general use, walking, or running. Long listening sessions have been pleasant also, with only very minor niggles from suboptimal positioning.
NEGATIVES —
The cable is only just average, although that’s acceptable at this price point. It’s worth noting that the cable is replaceable with a silver-coated cable which is much better quality and better looking (despite the proprietary connectors), so it’s even less of an issue. The replacement is cable is $50, making the total set $100 (still a stellar deal in my opinion).
My pair also had a very small issue in that the small red mesh covering the speaker hole was misaligned on the left ear. It hasn’t had any discernable effect on usability, sound, or comfort in my usage. Again, these small QC issues are to be expected with an IEM at this price point, and I can’t really complain when they sound that good for only $49.
THE BOTTOM LINE —
Buy them! They’re comfortable, don’t look ungainly, and sound amazing for the price.
