Yep I saw them, but I wonder if someone tested them and if they can be compared to KZ ED9,ATE... as SQ
So you can use your ZS1 while doing sports? I am very tempted by the ZS2, they could be as good as ZN1 mini but with mic, or as bassy as ZS1, and I don't want to wait 2 months delivery time for a very bassy pair of earphones.
If the W1 Pro have good soundstage and details I will grab them, or else I will have to wait for a ZS2 review
I have the ED9, ATE, and a billion other KZs so I can help with that comparo, lol.
I'll tell you right off that the W1 is bassy. Not ZS1 levels of bassy, but still bassy. This is their strength though. Their bass is really well textured and digs deep enough to give you some nice rumble when asked for. It's not that sort of ever present bass you would expect on a cheapo iem that bleeds into and messes around with other frequencies. Definitely the best bass of the bunch.
Detail retrieval is not their strong suit and falls behind the ED9 with either filter, and the ATE. It's not horrible, but on very in-depth or complicated tracks they do get overwhelmed. I'm using small bore Sony tips which I'm pretty sure constrict the sound. Wide bore tips would probably help quite a bit, but I don't have any that work with my ears and iems shaped liked this (XFit XF-200 for example).
Mids are quite similar to the ATE. Not quite as forward but they have the same sort of rich, thick presentation. ED9 sounds thin in comparison. I would put the W1 behind the ATE, but ahead of the ED9.
Sound stage on all three is good, with the ATE holding the frontlines. ED9 and W1 are close.I think the ED9 has a deeper stage, and W1 the taller, wider stage.
Overall I feel some of the KZs are still the better sounding iems, but the W1 is competitive. KZ goes pretty much for sound quality alone when giving you your bang for the buck. W1 gives you a ton more features and good build quality (that cable esp.), with slightly worse sound quality. They still sound better than any 8 USD iem with all these features has any right to.
I'm fully expecting the ZS2 to continue along that design's bass-focused sound. The ZS1 is a bass monster. The ZN1 Mini is really bassy too, just lacking the ZS1's sub-bass extension.
