Accessories & Packaging
The KZ ZSE shares the exact same packaging of the latest KZ ZST, KZ ZST PRO, KZ ZS3, KZ ED12, KZ ATR, which is a very small box with a transparent plastic front. Regarding accessories, you will get 3 pairs of eartips.
set to high gain and with it’s bass boost turned on (using a custom basshead EQ too), they were able to handle up to 42% of the Fiio’s maximum power. The results of this test was an exponential increase of their punch and depth reaching a strong basshead rumble and impact way above the KZ ATE and almost knocking to the door entrance door of the Top Basshead In-Ear Headphones Chart.
KZ ZSE M
Mids & Vocals
Mids of the KZ ZSE are very warm and exhibit a strong mid-bass bleed onto lower mids and lower vocals making them somewhat congested and distant. Higher mids are noticeably rolled off and do not show any hint of harshness. Vocals (from lower up to higher frequencies of vocals) might lack some energy for most listeners looking for clear sound. People that prefer mids that are warm, harsh-free and do not care about their less detailed performance could find them fit to their liking. With an EQ, higher mids can reach harsh peaks. Lower mids clear up significantly with a less distant and congested sound and an important reduction of mid-bass bleed while remaining free of tinny or boxy sound; still their lower and middle mids will not be the clearest your money can buy.
gives them a very easy to handle ergonomics and outstanding fit and comfort. The fit is secure and tight while remaining absolutely free of discomfort. Moreover, they fit almost flush with the ears making them perfectly usable for under-the-helmet usage or at bed.

EQ
Response to Equalization
The response to custom equalization was great on the lowest audio frequencies (mid-bass and sub-bass) resulting in a strong increment of punch and a crazy enhancement of depth. Mids and vocals were able to clear up noticeably and reduce their strong mid-bass bleed without falling into boxiness. Highs gained some brightness and detail but some slight sibilance showed up.
