This review is almost an exact copy-paste of the classic KZ ED2, simply because they have exactly the same drivers and they sound exactly the same.
KZ EDR2
ø7mm Dynamic Driver
$5~$10
4.0/5.0
Pros
- Bright and detailed mids and highs, with more than enough bass to keep the hype going.
- Excellent design and decent build quality.
Cons
- The lows and mids are slightly pushed back on low-power sources.
- The included ear tips are pretty useless, at least they were for me. They are too "soft touch" and aren't grippy.
- There's glue residue on the housings' back meshes on the pair I received.
- The presentation and the lack of accessories and proper tips are quite disappointing.

- They look like they have an open-back design, but their backs are actually sealed behind the meshes.
Comfort & Fit
The pre-applied tips are OK, but too soft and not grippy. I couldn't keep them in my ears without them sliding out on their own. ROCK Zircon's tips worked like a charm, I got a perfect seal and could hear the true nature of these earphones.
Lows / Bass
The bass is clear and precise, with a lot of enjoyable and deep sub-bass, just as long as you really have a perfect fit.
Mids / Vocals
The mids are balanced and precise, yet warm enough for the vocals to sound full and vibrant.
Highs / Treble
The highs are detailed but overly gentle and flattened. Slightly blurred out and not as sharp.
