DESCRIPTION
REDEFINING THE IEM ACOUSTIC ARCHITECTURE WITH A ONE-OF-ITS-KIND 24-DRIVER SETUP
A rare blend of 12 balanced armature units on each side of the KZ AST along with detailed acoustic adjustment ensures that the human vocals you listen to on these earphones sound rich and soothing. This also makes the highs sound natural while delivering a superior sound quality overall. The KZ Standard of unit curve tolerance breaks industry record with 卤1dB.

ELEVATE TO PROFESSIONAL MUSIC LISTENING WITH UPSCALED SECOND-GEN BALANCED AMATEUR DRIVERS
Engineered with a combination of independently designed and developed high-frequency matrix BA, the KZ AST scales up its high-frequency performance to ensure that you do not miss finer practices of your favourite music. There were four significant upgrades that were made to the new-gen BA. First, the all-new 30017s balanced armature combination escalates medium and high frequency. Second, the fresh 30095s and 30019s BAs highlight details of high frequencies. Third, the highly optimised 29689s balanced armature unit that takes care of the mids. Fourth, the upgraded 22955s balanced armature unit that packs the power of three ordinary BA drivers, dedicated to low frequencies.




EACH EAR SHELL IS PRECISION-MADE TO PERFECTION WITH COMPACT SIZE & ON-POINT ERGONOMICS
The eye-catching zinc alloy material used on the KZ AST is polished by highly skilled craftsmen using the five-axis CNC process giving the AST its unique curved surface. The contour curves of the KZ AST adapts to the shape of your ear and to make this experience more comfortable the earpieces are paired with soft silicone earplugs and an ear-hook design so that they stay in place for as long as you want.



0.75MM GOLD-PLATED 2PIN 200-CORE SILVER-PLATED UPGRADEABLE CABLES
The use of 4 strands of 200-core professional silver-plated cables allows the KZ AST to retain the purity of the audiophile-grade sound. The 0.75mm gold-plated pin insert and pull structure, which was independently developed by KZ, expands practically giving you the freedom to replace or upgrade the cables. These earphones are available with and without a microphone. Kindly choose the variant based on your preference. Some of the cable upgrade options, which can be purchased separately, include the 784-core silver-plated cables (not included) and a Bluetooth cable (not included).




UTILIZING STATE-OF-THE-ART PROFESSIONAL AUTOMATED PROCESS TO DESIGN HEADPHONES
KZ is among the first brands to adopt professional equipment automation to manufacture its Hi-Fi earphones. While most of the modern-day earphone companies still rely on the traditional manual assembly process to produce headphones, KZ uses a streamlined automated process to deliver outstanding earphones.
