KZ-PR1 HiFi IEM pregled – nizkocenovni planarni ušesni monitorji z resnično prisotnostjo
Obstajajo dnevi, ko se zdi, da ekipa Knowledge Zenith preprosto ne spi.
Pred kratkim so izdali še več novih nizkocenovnih IEM-jev in najnovejši od teh je pristal na mojem pragu, KZ-PR1 HiFi iz KZ.

TL:DR;
Všeč mi je bilo, ko je KZ predstavil KZ ZEX Pro in KZ ZES z dodatkom elektrostatičnega pogona. Zdaj KZ PR1 prinaša planarni magnetni gonilnik v poceni Chi-Fi prostor.
Všeč mi je ta IEM. Tako dobro diha, široka zvočna kulisa, res svetla in čista. To je zvočni podpis, ki mi resnično ustreza.
Morda ni za vsakogar in vidim, da lahko dolgotrajno poslušanje nekatere ljudi izmuči, zame pa je super.
Vokal, bobni, kitara zveni preprosto odlično.

Jasnost je bila odlična in res je postal moj najljubši novi poceni ušesni monitorji.
Potem pa je temu sledil KZ ZES, ki je prišel z odlično kombinacijo dinamičnega gonilnika in ponovno elektrostatičnega gonilnika.
To je bil nov prostor, v katerega se je KZ premaknila in se oddaljila od samo dinamično uravnoteženih pogonov armature v elektrostatično območje.
V tem sem res užival in zaradi svetlosti in lahkotnosti elektrostatičnega zvoka v kombinaciji z dinamiko in uravnoteženimi armaturami so ti nizkocenovni IEM resnično presegli svojo težo.
S KZ-PR1 je Knowledge Zenith zdaj izdal proračunski planarni gonilnik IEM.
Vau.
Ne da bi se spuščali v podrobnosti o ravnih magnetnih gonilnikih, niso niti približno tako pogosti kot drugi in zdi se, da ima veliko podjetij za slušalke, kot sta Audeze in HIFIMAN, malo niše v tem prostoru, saj se tipične slušalke osredotočajo na dinamične gonilnike.
V resnici ima samo zelo tanko membrano z žico skozi njo, in magnet, obešen poleg te membrane, sodeluje s signalom, se vklaplja in izklaplja, da ustvari reakcijo med magneti in membrano, da ustvari zvočni izhod in gibanje.
Kul stvar pri planarnih gonilnikih je, da imajo lahko zelo hiter odziv, kar očitno povzroči pogosto močnejši zvok.
Dovolj tehnologije, kot moram reči, da KZ-PR1 zagotovo odraža to tesnost, zlasti na spodnjem koncu vse do vrha.
Prvi vtisi
No, sama škatla je enaka vsaki drugi KZ škatli. Prihaja v zelo majhnem paketu z dvema rezervnima kompletoma silikonskih ušesnih nastavkov in ušesnimi monitorji s polprozornim kablom OFC.
Na žalost moje prošnje in joki za poceni napenjalec kabla za ušesne monitorje niso dosegli pravočasno, da bi to vključili.
Živim v upanju…
Tako se zdi, da bom še naprej uporabljal gumijaste trakove ali majhne plastične tulce, ki jih bom ovil ravno dovolj na tesno, da bom lahko ustvaril napetost na teh ušesnih monitorjih okoli ušesa.
Slušalke same so, tako kot vse slušalke KZ, čudovito obdelane.
Resnično imajo umetnost strojne obdelave. Model, ki ga pregledujem, je izdaja KZ-PR1 HiFi, ki je srebrna različica.
Lep kovinski zaključek z malo odprto rešetko na zadnji strani. And there is also a PR1 Balanced Edition, which comes in black resin, which is also slightly transparent.
The HiFi Edition has a slightly higher top end and a little less heaviness on the bottom end.
The Balanced Edition has a bit more bottom end and is relatively mellow at the very high end of the 7 to 10K range.
Comfort and fit
The fit of these is much like any KZ. It fits really well in the ear. The position of the two-pin cable comes nicely out the front over the back of the ear. There are three sizes of silicon tips, so play around with those for the best match for your ears.
There’s no memory cable here, which I like because then I get to control how it fits and feels on the back of my ears, and it looks pretty good as well, which always helps.
The cable is a typical 0.75 mill gold-plated plug, which is the normal KZ two-pin sleeve, which goes nicely over the top of each individual inner earbud.
And what I like about these is if you do want to swap those out or if you have a problem with them later, then if this OFC silver-plated flat cable doesn’t suit you, you can go out and buy another one. You can also opt to buy the inline control version, which has a single push button and allows you to control your music and phone calls.
Tech specs
So, in addition to the 13.2mm planar driver, the PR1 HiFi has a frequency response of 20 Hz to 40,000 khz.
A sensitivity of 96 plus or minus 3 dB, which is higher than you’ll see on some other dynamic or balanced drivers.
The impedance is a nice manageable 16 ohms, meaning that these can be very easily driven from anything including your smartphone.
The cable comes with a 3.5mm jack and with the 0.75mm two-pin connected to the earbuds, with the silver-plated OFC cable, which is about 120 centimeters long.
Kakovost zvoka
Bas
The Bass on these is really quite deep and wide, although I did find that I had to increase the volume slightly to really get that full feel. Once it’s there, it is really quite impressive.
Try ‘First Class’ by Jack Harlow for a good intro to the bass. Or “Rockstar” by Post Malone.
Any synthesised bottom end is full and rich. Not wooly or loose.
Acoustic kick drums are nice and tight.
Anything in that bottom range is really impactful.
And because of that tightness and that depth, it stands out on its own and doesn’t conflict or compete with the other frequency that are going on in the mids and trebles.
Srednji
Mids are bright and fresh, not too far forward, sitting exactly where they need to sit. Possibly a little too forward for some, depending on what you throw at these.
The sound of a drum roll through the upper Toms, right down at the floor Tom, sound so true to life and natural that I have to smile every time I play a track with an acoustic kit.
The sound stage from the mid-range out helps each individual instrument stand so well on its own that vocals, guitars, keys, all sit in their own space without that competition or that single wall of sound hitting you.
This power in this frequency range without the aggression, it’s a force without the distortion.
Visoki
Trebles are not too abrasive, also sound quite natural. There’s nothing jarring about them, and they add a nice sparkle to the top of the rest of the sound signatures flowing up below them.
“Animals” by the Architects has really full sound with amazing sparkle across the full range of instruments. “Him &I” by G-Eazy with Halsey has such an airy raspiness to it.
When Halsey intros with just a single beat and light key input at the bottom, her voice stands out so acoustically.
The bottom end kicks in with great fullness.
Listening to “Sword from the Stone” by Passenger, the acoustic guitar, piano, his vocals, again, all so natural and acoustic. Those treble notes just adding so much brightness and natural feel to the instrumentation and vocals.
General sound comments
I absolutely love these in-ear monitors. And while they’re not as cheap as some of the other ones in KZ’s range, they are worth the extra cost.
I’ll tell you now for free these are my top budget IEM pick for 2022 and will make it to the top of the budget IEMs list soon.
They remind me of why I love my job of reviewing headphones so much.
If you’re listening to acoustic music especially or if you happen to be a lover of vocals, in particular, then this HiFi model will really bring your music to life.
And with the bottom end is there, it’s just not too full and too fat.
When I say that these sound powerful without distortion and full without being too forceful, there are times that the transparency might almost make you want a little bit more from these.
I don’t know how to describe it, it’s not PRaT, but it’s almost an emotional element that I don’t always feel in the tracks that I’m listening to.
The sound stage is so wide and the imaging so clear and wide that it almost feels at times like I want to put the band a little closer together and have some of that lower midrange come at me a little bit harder, more like a dynamic or BA driver.
Now that would be a combination I’d pay alot of money for.
Those criticisms aside, for me and my preference of music listening, these KZ-PR1 HiFi planar magnetic budget in-ear monitors are pretty much as good as it gets for me at this price point.
They’re not muddy, they’re crisp, they’re clear, they’re bright.
The sound stage is wide. The overall response from the frequencies is also balanced.
There’s no V shape here. There’s no frequency that is particularly lacking.
But for that little piece of emotion that I occasionally lack from listening to these, I’m really impressed with them.
I keep saying KZ are sending me my favorite in-ear monitors, but they continue to impress me and I continue to say it.
Sony, Bose, Apple, JBL, UE, Sennheiser, Shure – take note. You need to keep up with this kind of innovation.
Actually, since I’ve mentioned some of my favourite brands like Shure, I have to say I’d never use these for live monitoring.
These are an audiophile IEM first and foremost. Better used in the peace and quite of home or the office lest you lose some of the goodness in noisy environments.
Zaključek
Without wanting to sound too much of a fanboy, I think they’ve got a real winner on their hands here.
If you like a warm sound signature and if you like well-rounded full soft bass, then these are not for you.
They’re quite analytical, very transparent, very bright, sharp, and crisp…have I said that already…
If you’re into instrumentation that is live by real humans, these will give you a thrill but not just you.
OK, I’ll stop now…
