“they are really nice”
— @peanutbutterbean1738 on YouTube
“Insane audio quality for 5 bucks.”
— @BernardoOne on YouTube
“KZ EDX Pro never sounded good in the first place. Very V-shaped sound which bleeds all over the mids. The bass is although pretty satisfying. The treble is sharp and mids are practically non-existent.”
