So my excitement in receiving this set was warranted. For someone who loves airy treble, it's check! For someone who loves incisive midrange and technicalities, it's check! For the soundstage lover in me, it's again a check! For the bass lover, who likes to hear note resolution, rumble, and have elastic bass for metal? Check, check, check, check! This set hit the spot. It's without a doubt, in my mind, the best hybrid KZ has ever released, and it's better than the ZS12 Pro X, ZAX, ZS10 Pro 2, ZA12, ZAS, and ZSX. It's the BOSS King, and it's an all-rounder, that is equally at home with reggae, hip hop, acid jazz as it is metal, rock, or classic rock. It's also spacious, and immersive, so it has the ability to draw the listener into the music, and do it with a price to performance that is hard to beat. So if you listen to Snoop Dogg, Cradle of Filth, Zacc Harris, Stanley Cowell, Obituary, or Bounty Killer, the ZS12 Pro 2 won't leave you for wanting (ok, maybe a touch more mid bass punch), and does a great job canvassing a wide range of genres, and it won't break your bank, to get high performance and resolution out of your music. So yes, this is an easy rec, and I look forward to others sharing their experience with the latest, and in my opinion, greatest KZ hybrid release.
