I received my Knowledge Zenith EDR1 way back in mid-2015. The key word in that sentence is "received" because my pair was gifted to me by the owner of the Official KZ Headphones Store. Just as Knowledge Zenith was starting to become a rising tide I had written several reviews of the first three or four KZ models [EDSE, ED3 "Perfection", ED9 & ATE] that I had purchased. After hearing the aforementioned models and subsequently writing the reviews, I put in an order for several backup pairs of each one I reviewed and, as a thank you, the store owner included a set of complimentary EDR1's in the package.
Considering how far KZ has come in the relatively short period of time, three years, I thought I would do a series of reviews of KZ's earlier "single dynamic driver" offerings such as the various ATE models, ED3 models and others that may have slipped under your radar if you are arriving a little late to the party over on the "Knowledge Zenith [KZ] impressions thread", which is quickly approaching 30,000 posts. //www.head-fi.org/threads/knowledge-zenith-kz-impressions-thread.698148/
Before we get started on the EDR1, there are a few things you need to know.
About me:
I tend to prefer a relatively neutral sound signature with a slight emphasis in both bass and lower treble, which is basically a mild "U" shaped sound signature where midrange frequencies are left intact and unaffected. I find that an absolute neutral sound signature usually lacks enough energy for the genres I enjoy most, which are Classic Trance and Progressive [early Tiesto, Markus Schulz, Otello, DT8 Project], Chill Out, Breakbeat [Hybrid & Burufunk Remixes] and 80's & 90's [New Order, Secession, The Cure, Siouxie & The Banshees, Depeche Mode]. Sure I listen to Verve Remixed, Sade, Bach, Ella Fitzgerald and everything in between, but as of late the bulk of my listening pleasure is focused on the aforementioned genres.
About IEMs:
Take note when you read IEM reviews that when the reviewer gives his/her opinion regarding the sound that there are many factors that shape the final sound an IEM delivers to one's ear.
Those factors include: 1 - Shape & size of reviewer's ear canals. [shallow/deep, wide/narrow] 2 - Shape & size of eartips [round/cone, single, double or triple flange] 3 - Materials of eartips [silicone/foam] 4 - Shape of IEM [and/or angle of nozzle] can cause fitment issues for some. 5 - Source [quality of DAC in smartphone, laptop, digital audio player] 6 - Source [power rating] is it amplified/unamplified. 7 - The IEM itself [driver flex/trapping air in canal causing muffled sound. 8 - The Reviewers ability to hear all frequency ranges [age plays a factor].
Most consumers are unaware of how much weight each of these factors hold in rendering a final verdict. This is why there is such a wide variance in not only ratings, but the description of an IEMs sound. An unaware consumer purchases a perfectly fine IEM but has difficulty keeping the IEM in the ear or he/she does not satisfactorily seal the ear canal with the included silicone eartips [this is a common occurrence] and the consumer summarily dismisses the IEM as sub par. Another consumer purchases the same IEM but experiences a perfect fit and seal and has nothing but praise for the same IEM. Sealing the ear canals AND HAVING THE EARTIP FIRMLY AFFIXED to the IEM nozzle is the only proper way to use in-ear monitors. I can think of no audio equipment that is subjected to such praise or ridicule as the in-ear monitor. As if that's not enough, there is no "one-size-fits-all" when it comes to IEM eartips.
Materials [silicone/foam] have different dampening effects on final sound. Shape of the eartips [olive-shaped, cone-shaped or other-shaped] can have different dampening effects on final sound based on how much space is between the IEM nozzle and your eardrum and how well the eartip has sealed the ear canal. The aperture of the eartip's opening [wide-bore/narrow-bore] will have dampening effects on the final sound.
The easiest way for you to experience the different effects I am discussing is to take your current on-ear earphones or over-ear earphones, pick a song full of energy, put the earphones on and let them sit naturally over or on your ears. Listen to the music for two minutes. After two minutes, using your hands, slightly press the headphones closer to your eardrums. Notice the change in the sound. Is there more/less bass? Is there more/less treble? Did the vocals slightly slip forward/back?
Consider that on-ear and over-ear headphones have a driver that sits approximately 1 1/2 inches to 2 inches from your eardrums and by pressing the headphones 1/4" closer to your eardrums the sound changed. Now consider that an IEM driver sits anywhere from 3/4" to 1/4" from your eardrums and the slightest changes [angle, depth, shape, material] can have up to three times more of an effect due to the proximity of the IEM to the eardrum.
For this reason, I think it is wise to invest a nominal dollar amount on different eartips to find an eartip that works well for your particular ear's anatomy. This way you experience everything the earphone tuner intended for you to experience. Some IEM manufacturers supply multiple sizes [S/M/L] and/or materials [silicone/foam] of eartips to increase the odds that the consumer achieves a satisfactory seal, but even this is not foolproof. If this information holds any interest for you, there are a plethora of aftermarket eartip brands to look into, such as "JVC Spiral Dots", "Spinfits", "Comply Foam Eartips" or "Znari Foam Eartips", "Creative Aurvana" and others. If you really want to fine tune things, then you might find yourself doing what I do, which is scouring Amazon for inexpensive earphones that appear to have silicone eartips that have a shape that typically work well with my ear's anatomy.
The Knowledge Zenith EDR1:
Lately, I've been spending a great deal of time with the ZS6, ZSR, ES3 and ZS5[i]. Finding the time to fit in models like the ATR, EDSE and this EDR1 has become increasingly difficult so I thought it would be best to set aside KZ's newer crop of IEMs, revisit some of the earlier offerings that afforded me an inexpensive education about my preferred sound signature and review the models that slowly pulled me into the audio-enthusiast hobby. Every once in a while you can check back to see which classic KZ models have been added to the list, but today we'll be focusing on the EDR1.
In my humble opinion, the EDR1 would be a very good in-ear monitor for commuters to use if commuting involves trains, planes and buses. The simple barrel-type housing and 3.5mm nozzle make it easy to get a good seal if you are adept at tip-rolling and find an eartip that works for you. For my ears the silicone eartips off of my Philips SHE3590 in-ear's installed on the EDR1 are just about perfect.
So, what do we have with the EDR1?
We have a decidedly and unashamedly "V" shaped sound signature that would likely be more palatable to those with treble-sensitive ears and those that prefer a warmer presentation.
Treble: The upper-treble on the EDR1 is definitely rolled off, hence the "commuter" IEM recommendation. I would even go so far as to say that the mid-treble is halfway rolled as well. It's still there but a smidge of it is lost in the attempt to roll the upper-treble. For the most part the mid-treble is fine but compared to KZ's more recent hybrid offerings the EDR1 definitely lacks the definition and resolution that the balanced armatures bring to models like the ES3, ZSR and ZST.
If you have a particular use in mind for the EDR1, such as using them for commuting purposes, then the rolled off treble is a welcome attribute that can help mitigate hearing-loss. Why? Because it is common practice to gradually increase the listening volume on your source in an attempt to drown out the barrage of ambient noises that surround you.
To determine upper-treble limits I always choose a problematic track like Toni Braxton's "He Wasn't Man Enough For Me" or Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' ". The micro-detail is thoroughly omitted and/or truncated to a degree. You'll miss those micro-details, but you'll save your hearing because the treble on those tracks can push into the stratosphere if an in-ear monitor has treble extension a few decibels above the waterline.
In the end I would give the treble a 6.5 to 7.0 on an overall scale, but for commuting purposes I'd give it a 7.5.
Midrange: The midrange of the EDR1 is decidedly recessed; more than I prefer but not severely recessed. It's very evident on Above&Beyond's "We're All We Need" and Portishead's "Roads", the latter having vocals that should be at the forefront. I prefer more presence in the vocals, but if I'm out and about town with the EDR1 I wouldn't necessarily complain because there are always trade-offs when it comes to using IEMs. Sure, my ES3 with detachable cables at $20+/- would do a better job, but the EDR1 at $5-$10 is sufficient and is still easy on the pocket WHEN you snag them on the back of a chair or doorknob and inadvertently rip the cable from the IEM housing.
Bass: This is where the EDR1 really brings "it". The sub-bass on these is basshead quality that goes deep and does not distort. While commuting, the surrounding truck and bus engines will not drown out the bass on these [provided you have a good seal]. The mid-bass does bleed a bit into the midrange but these things are FUN!
Soundstage/Imaging:
One thing that you will find to be consistent in KZ in-ear monitors is that they typically have very good imaging and the EDR1 is no exception. Soundstage has average depth and average width which goes just to the tips of your earlobes.
The following tracks will showcase the EDR1's uncanny ability to portray a decent picture in your mind's eye for a $5 IEM.
At the end of the day I'd say the EDR1 is well worth the $5+/- you'll have to pony up to add a pair to your collection. It's better than just about anything you'll find at your neighborhood big box store for $20 or less, aside from the Philips SHE3590, which is an IEM that caters to those who prefer a brighter more airy presentation.
The KZ EDR1 is currently still available at GearBest.com. I would bet that KZ doesn't produce these any longer, meaning once the current stock sells out they're gone for good.
