I bought the shure 425 pro, simgot supermix 4, and these iems to test which I like most for gaming, music and media. These sound wayyyyy better than the shure 425 I had and it’s only 25% of the price of shure 425. I can’t tell which is better for gaming between the simgot supermix 4 and these kz zs12 pro x. I love them both for their clear detailed sound. The shure 425 was fuzzy sounding with everything I threw at it. I have a fiio ka11 DAC I use for my iPhone listening. Rodecaster pro for gaming audio/microphone interface. The fiio ka11 can play in 32 bit while the rodecaster pro does 24 bit. All sound beautiful with the kz and simgot. The shure iem was just fuzzy no water what audio played through it. It kind of pissed me off that the shure quality was so trash. Overall I would recommend these to every single person I know because these sound like I’m immersed. Came with so many tips to fit my ear good. It had foam and silicone. Hopefully these last a long time for the price. That’s the only thing I’m scared of. I’ll do an update when they die out on me. As for now this is 5 stars for the money alllll day long-UPDATE- 2/4/25The iems still sound great. Haven’t heard any deterioration. The music sounds great still and videos sound good as well. Only complaint I have and it’s not the iems fault is the gunshots in Warzone were too loud. I had to EQ. I found gadgetry tech on YouTube and I use his squiglink EQ target for Warzone. So glad I found something on the internet to teach me how to figure out what frequencies need their dB decreased for a comfortable game session. I decreased the dB on my own gunshots, airstrikes, grenades, and increased the frequencies pertaining to enemy footsteps, occlusion noise(footsteps on the other side of a wall), increased dB for enemy gunshots, and the supply boxes got a decrease in dB because I want to hear footsteps through all the chaos when there’s a lot going on at once. I never loose track of an enemys footsteps when an airstrike is bombing me, or when a grenade blows up. For the money I can’t complain. I have other iems that do better with spatial imaging such as the supermix 4 and the FiiO fa19 but I still go back to these. For some reason the bass on these have less bass roll off and I like that. I think of the bass attack as the “B” in the word boom. It has good attack. The the “oom” is that rumble that lingers on after that bass hits. These have more “oom” than my expensive iems. I’m more of a “oom” guy I love the rumble it gives. Man for the price of these I enjoy them. I learned how to EQ and these do great for my liking

These are great headphones. Especially for the price.You're not going to believe me. That's OK. I own 3 pairs.I use them weekly as IEMs for both bass and guitar with an Allen and Heath ME-1. They're fantastic. I play 5 string bass, the low B is clear and precise. On guitar, they track through both delicate acoustic parts, and screaming metal leads. They're comfortable to wear for hours on end during rehearsals and 2 services (plus rehearsal) on Sunday.I have a 3rd pair as my primary headset for my laptop. Because of my experience with them as IEMs. They're comfortable to wear for hours. I listen to all kinds of music, from metal to EDM. These won't compare to my $400 Bose QC-25s, but they're so much better than almost every other set of headphones I've owned for the last decade.For me the standard ear pieces seal well and I get good quality sound. (They're also help quiet the very loud drummer that I stand next to at church.) YMMV. The cord length is good for a laptop or a belt-pack. They make a 2M cord (which costs almost as much as another pair of headphones!)

I own both these and the ZS10 Pro 2's. Both models are very close, but I do find these to be a bit more balanced and with better tonality.Lows are slightly lacking on this one (for me) even with the 3 low switches up compared to the ZS10 Pro 2's. However, the mids are more pronounced in these ZS12's and the High's are certainly less "piercing."My two big gripes with these are:1. The weight. They're on the heavy side and I feel the fully metal housing may actually not be the best choice for these. It's not a deal breaker, but it makes me want to use them less and go for the 10 Pro 2's instead.2. The longer nozzle on these was unnecessary (in my opinion). I find that they're more uncomfortable and actually stick further out of my ear than the ZS10 Pro 2's do. Therefore I'm pushing these back in more often.With all that being said, these are 100% an upgrade from a sound quality standpoint, so if your goal is a super balanced IEM for listening to music, these are an amazing choice that you will absolutely love.However, for a musician in a live setting, I find that because these wiggle their way out of my ears more often than the ZS10 Pro 2's, so I will likely not use these when playing live.One final note: Give these a chance to break-in and warm up before judging them too much. The sound quality will grow in warmth and richness, and also less harshness after a break-in period.Enjoy!

Excellent sound choice for me. I wanted the switched ones,but got these shipped to me instead. Was going to return them but decided to give them a try. Glad I did! Excellent tuning, great bass and sound stage! They are tuned alittle on the warm side, but they are quality!
