KZ X Crinacle CRN Review - Brother from a Different Father

The KZ ZEX Crinacle is a quick follow-up to the well celebrated ZEX. But is it?
With respect to sound, the ZEX Crinacle is a different animal. Enjoy my video comparison review to see which is for you.

    Thanks for the detailed review! I'm not sure whether i should get KZ ZAS / KZ ZS10 PRO / KZ x CRN. I have all three of them in my cart and i primarily listen to hip hop R&B and sometimes grunge metallic. Which one would you recommend?

    Unfortunately out of those you mentioned I have only listened to the ZAS so I can't offer a proper comparison.

    Im not sure if you already answered this but do you reccomend the zex pro's (Crin) for someone that has a music library consisting of rap and indie (planning on updating from a Kz ATE)

    Depends if you prefer a neutral presentation. IMHO also consider the Reecho SG01

    Any basshead IEM you can recommend under $100 that has more sub bass and mid bass than VE BIE with a warm sound and smooth treble?

    The BIE is as bassy a set that I've heard while still having decent mids and treble.

    Which is more musical and organic sounding? ZEX Pro or Blon BL Max or BL03? Also which one has the thickest note, I like thick note weight like it is on BL03

    If you like the Blon 03 then I'd have to say the Blon Max out of those choices as imho it's a more technical 03.

    Vocals and Mids are better sounding than blons due to less mid-bass presence which provides better separation and clarity. Sub-bass is rich in ZEX Pro. It's pretty balanced and airy. Detail retrieval is good. Can't say Treble is better in blons or ZP as certain tracks are better on either of these. Technically ZP is stronger than Blons. Great imaging, staging, and separation for the price. I'm using the same tips - final e clear red. Definitely a steal for the price. I'm pretty happy with the purchase. Listened for around 40 hrs or so. It is so much better I can say. Occasional 8khz peaks have been calmed in my opinion. And tip rolling plays a huge role. These tips are the best sounding for me compared to spinfits or stock.

    @@sorcerermax5111 It's definitely better than Zsn Pro x. AS12 I didn't hear. I guess treble would be better on AS12. It's a totally different tuning from the typical kz's. All kz's are mostly v shaped. But this is pretty balanced with more emphasis on vocals and mids with good sub bass boost. Typical kz's will beat this in treble area. Not that extended treble here. But also that is not the emphasis here. So, finally its a different set from typical kz's to compare directly. And compared to blons, these are better technically in my opinion

    @@pavanakumar270187 Okay. I have all 3, ZSN Pro (not X), BL03 and AS12. AS12 doesn't have that sharp, peaky thin treble like ZSN Pro, just has a bright and energetic sound and it sounds much richer with better details and technicalities than both ZSN Pro and BL03 in mids, vocals and highs and it is also musical. Its only con is it doesn't have sub bass and also the mid bass though good, doesn't hit as hard as DD IEMs. Blon has better timbre and more bass, not as bright. AS12 can be fatiguing for long listening Anyway, ZEX Pro has mixed reviews all round so I'll wait for future releases from KZ and see what they do I have 15 pairs of budget IEMs and my top 3 are AS12, Final E3000 and VE BIE

    Yes, they were lunched as Zex Pro but they were rebranded to CRN for the collab. You can watch Crinnacle's video for confirmation

    Doesn't fit my ears well. I mean It'll go in fine if I tilt it outward. It becomes awkward though because the wire hook needs to bend weird. Sounds nice though. It's impossible to use it with bt kz az10 earhook. Bass heads, learn to use the EQ. You're not audiophile so save yourself some trouble and your wallet.

    Maybe the reason is that you didn't have the right size, or it was just not meant for your ear canal size. So the sound is bad ofc, combine a bad fit with not being used to the sound is a bad experience, I feel you
