Samsung Type-C Earphones Black
Score: 83/100
KZ ZSN PRO X
Score: 76/100Rankings
The Samsung EO-IC100B USB-C earphones deliver clear, balanced sound with a built-in DAC and premium build, but lack ANC and a protective case. Suitable for users who need high-quality wired audio on USB-C devices.
The KZ ZSN Pro X is a budget hybrid IEM with a 10 mm dynamic driver and a balanced armature, offering solid bass and clear mids. Its metal construction and detachable cable add durability, but the stock cable's durability and lack of a microphone limit its convenience. Ideal for gamers and audiophiles seeking value at sub-$50.
