I recently bought a pair of KZ zsn pro x from the official store on ali express and when I started listening to them they sound really empty with seemingly no base. This is comparing to my budget gaming headphones (razer blackshark v2) From what I've heard online there is nothing but good things said about them. I got them on special for like 15 bucks which is so cheap.

Is it normal for iem's to have a almost non existent base compared to headphones or did I just get a bad batch of what I ordered? I did hear some complaints about bad Qc which I think means quality control so maybe thats the problem I'm no audiophile so I don't really know.

[[SOLVED]] Never mind guys sorry I am a little bit silly. They really need to go all the way right up your ears.

Thanks for the reply. I've been using my new kz's for a few weeks now pretty much every day for a few hours for music and they sound really good. Although I'm no audiophile. Before I just wasn't putting them in my ear far enough so all the base was leaking out the sides and all I could hear was top treble.

Yea, I saw the "solved" part, I just wanted to inform others too regarding IEMS. btw, how you tried asmr with them ? its a blow mind IMO!
