Good thing as well that it’s very easy to do recabling and/or MMCX mod with earbuds.

One favorable aspect of the cable is that it’s not that microphonic compared to other non-removable cable earbuds. Cable was stiff OOTB but with some use it became more manageable, though not by much. Mine arrived with a rip in the insulation. It feels jelly-like on hand, a bit sticky, holds some folded shape, and the worse of all – I doubt the durability. Earbud fit is more personal and subjective than IEMs so as always, YMMV.Ĭable, is, well… something I don’t particularly like. It just disappears in my ears and I keep on forgetting that I’m wearing earbuds. Considering the price tag, the shell doesn’t feel “premium” at all. Compared to MX500? this shell is a million times better, at least for my ears. A phone will be enough to enjoy the Zen LL but you will definitely benefit with further amplification.īuild and Comfort: Not a lot to talk about. Not to a degree that prevents usage with a weaker source. However, compared to a phone, when plugged to the HUD100 MK2, the Zen LL experiences slight improvements in clarity (as well as treble, in extension), separation, soundstage, note weight and bass response when volume matched (only by ear). While it is 150 ohms, I have a feeling that it has a high sensitivity that compensates for the impedance. It was possible to reach my listening volume using only my phone, with lots of headroom.

#Zen time lite driver
There’s an SLQ version as well, with the same driver but different colorway and cable, selling for 128 USD. It can be ordered with either a 3.5mm, 2.5mm, or 4.4mm jack. I have here the VE Zen LL (standard), selling for 69.80 USD, with an impedance rating of 150 ohms. They have a wide range of products – from the legendary “hyperbudget” Monk series, up to the TOTL Sun. Arguably one of, if not the most iconic earbud maker, at least in this present time. I just love listening to music and am fond of writing articles.

I am not an expert in this hobby nor claim to be an audiophile. Rest assured that my impressions written in this review are my own personal thoughts and opinions and in no way influenced by outside parties. Lee and Venture Electronics for providing a review unit of the Zen LL.
