KZ ATR - what to expect from a 6€ in-ear?

2018-09-08
hi and welcome today wanted to talk a little bit about my maybe cheapest in the headphones that I currently own which I also rediscovered just now and doing all the other in reviews recently of course I'm not talking about this edit crap that you usually get with any new smartphone I throw this away immediately but this seal is the case that ATR so definitely not unknown you can get them below ten dollars or Euros so definitely lowest budget therefore how great or how bad can they be for this price maybe some story behind it first a friend of mine mark from mini clang guna suggested them to me only one year ago yeah this is Jesse yeah you may be noticed I wear my been on of microphones not because I wanted to give you some binaural effect or something but my normal microphone yeah it has some bad connection here yeah all microphones I bought from some professionals in the u.s. ending shipping costs and Texas also this one you can see I tried soldiering it already three times it lost connection again how it's great so I'm using this and you you will hear every voice surrounding me so you can hear the the aquarium or how do you have a fish tank you can hear Jesse behind me yeah she's not feeling well maybe you remember the story from Christmas she nearly died and yeah she has this hot car or not not sure how to call it but back to the ATR here in mock from unique language check out his youtube channel also his side but he does it in German still he reviews lots of Indians headphones or some more high-end stuff and about one year ago he told me that they are really great for this price I think I paid nine euros meanwhile you can get them for sexy girl sex for six euros yes sex also no and when I tried them on they arrived from China I think one month later I thought what is he talking about I mean yeah okay but still you have to consider the price and I somehow forget about them I left them somewhere and yesterday found them again tried them on again and after having heard all this other crap from some magic meze and so I Sami thought yeah and not than men actually but treble was somehow lacking and I tried other tips and here the 10 Marco tell maker comes in also one from China suggested to me by another friend he heard a model from again another friend and was quite impressed so he ordered one also told me to order one because it's really great for this price I think they cost 125 dollars from any Express and then when he's arrived he said yeah based on different it's not the one his friend head it is some sure copy obviously maybe I don't know but it sounds really bad but finally the tips supplied are quite usable I already used these tips for my IVA prodigy one mod because they have quite a big hole here so they can accommodate even some paper I'm not sure if you can see this and they also color the sound slightly especially treble so not you can hear cars passing by I hope it's not too distracting but you get maybe also if you live smooth headphones you get a realistic impression of this room ambience and so on there will be a tractor spacing by really horrible annoying but yeah what can you do so what these tips and Li yeah they became better still not far from perfect but really balanced sounding there is some slight resonance also upper tribal is missing but they can be brought to some really high level with very simple equalizing just take away you hear our neighbors our neighborhood just reduce 5 kilohertz with some not by 6 maybe 7 DB and boost treble starting from above 3 4 key words and they will be fine they sound much better than these 10 map here also better than this this sound magic music and I contacted mark again a look I rediscovered your ears that I somehow didn't like at the very beginning and he also didn't listen but he claims them to be to basale yeah mine are not they are really flat I'm not sure maybe there is so much sample variation like with this 10 mark here how can it be that friend of my friend has a really great sounding one while we have a pretty crappy one they sound it sounds really bad although there are reviews raving about it 10 make pro I think it's the name the only thing I already wanted to throw it away the only thing I used are the tip so I'm using them for this year really improves the sound a bit and the nice thing is that they are usable now so the sound is not cut in any way like with the meze or with the Sony horrible its current coherent this is the right way and this is why I enjoy them although not perfect for 6 euros and they are really great I thought I would like to have you I'll let you have a listen also comparing them to the 10 Mac's here which close the end three four times as much over gear you have to remember not sure if all of them sound like this I just ordered another pair just for fun from the same dealer because it's offered by many different ones so maybe one dealer is from another factory with more bass but these are really balanced with some slight equalizing they sound really like like studio monitors tent yeah I'm pretty impressed let's say so the although he being claimed to be it's also written here somewhere 80 altra bass well no there is no a trapeze the bassist really is really nicely flat we have got back to the some samples yeah I was trying a lot with this minute ESP ear system but I'm not satisfied it doesn't give me consistent results and this is what I wanted to offer you I could equalize each of them but when I really let's say 200 in years I would have a process to equalize it to bring it really as close to reality it takes hours and then I'm still not satisfied so what I did is do a basic calibration or let's say Equalization the calibration fact recording with the calibration file provided here it sounds it just way to train having everything so I try to bring it a little bit closer to reality and make a kind of general tuning for all of them the problem with this use is that when I equalize the sound for one particular model that's a half flat sounding one to bring it as close to it as possible and then I record another one with exactly the same settings the other one will sound off just because yeah the ears here is just a very short you can know maybe two centimeters long it doesn't react as the human ear so every in measures differently compared to a standardized system from crass or brilliant Kier and so on so just for fooling around but I wanted to offer you better quality so something more than this and therefore I will probably send it back maybe I will do another video demonstrating you how it recorded maybe ten or something different in ears with this general tuning let's call it calibration so that you can get a get an idea how all these compared sunrise they all have exactly the same settings unlike with my previous videos I try to bring them closer to reality but if I have to do this for everyone it becomes yeah I mean so it's a lot I live here in the Vienna forest but it's loud as hell it's louder than if if if I was living in Vienna so I will maybe make another video just recording showing recordings of some in yes and if anything is it it accelerates so when I when I'm in here has some particular boosted frequency this comes even more too so maybe it's good to compare differences although don't take it as a and is an absolute sound so it's not how they sound in reality but you will hopefully hear the difference the relative difference quite well so yeah I will start again with the original track from so personam princess freesia from the fastforward album and I will play the case at 80 our first then I will switch over to the 10 marks back and forth and you can hopefully hear yeah how both compare and how crappy the 10 marks sound against this and later on we'll maybe try to equalize them all so slightly so you gotta believe me baby I want you thinking about you today you could maybe hear that they sound definitely way better than their 10 marks maybe also try to equalize to take away the strange present harshness so I will play again the same track without Equalization so you can hear with EQ they become really usable they already now in reality with the ears yeah they exaggerate all frequencies a little bit so it will be quite funny to hear the other ones so when I try to record the case at ts6 haha with this strange treble boost why it sounds really horrible why other ones you will hear sound really great so yeah when looking at some measurements you can see that yeah the wrist is 5 6 kilo Hertz boost apart from that the bass is really balanced and overlaying the 10 max here I will again make an average for left and right for both you can see that that 10 makes somehow like this treble apart from that yeah also in that presence region there is not that much so these are really usable with some slight equalization for 6 euros I mean way better than then the Sony which I had for 50 euros or that ms e mezzo mezz neo 11 so quite impressive a pity yet it could be definitely improved with some stretching they have some whistling if you put them in me there actually if you can see it there is some this is the left or this is the right one so they are really one like like real professional custom monitors you have to read this I don't want to put it aside maybe because I will touch the microphone but you RepRap it around your ear here and then they are quite small so fit really nicely but if you move them around to get maybe a better feed you will hear that there are some ways so this noodle here is there is some resonance I think they could have been improved but still for this price is really outstanding they didn't even come with any packaging just some bubble envelope and and additional tips and the tips are no yeah I have some tips but I didn't use them the tips on the 10 bucks 10 max are really great so just wanted to show you the case that 80 are definitely not an ultra bass master really balanced sound which surprised me a lot and just need some slight work on travel and much better than many others does this sound magic attend with what high-five Awards any combo whoa what do you I bought some creepy junk this date funny thing is that they don't cut out the sound that much I mean this year and just have this strange whistling peak a person that really nice awesome they seem quite sturdy cable is in a bit a bit tall I don't know too rubbery so it's you can see it tends total to remain in some particular form but this so disappointed just like my friend he got him we were expecting so much after he heard this a unit from his friend and I think he still uses it for drumming monitoring as you only need to hear bass they're quite bass headed so yeah I hope I didn't bore you too much check them out for 6 euros on Amazon I think it's around 1011 dollars but I think you can even find them for cheaper so next time maybe I will try again to use my my clip-on microphone the problem is I already lost many many recordings because I thought I'm recording and the connector he had a bad bad connection the plug and I was not recording anything just noise so this time I wanted to get true to record everything also outside and Jessie coughing Jessie I hear some hum all the time from cars of tractors passing by so hard especially when I try when I try to do recall it from a database so I have to stop and restart again so to record a speaker a single one from maximum volume and normal volume including editing and everything if everything goes right maybe half an hour if not one hour one and a half for one single speaker so imagine if I have to record one speaker with two or three settings and another one so twist because it's a whole day of recording stupid there4s I don't get any income with the database and if you like it then you can of course support me with some donation yeah but I will talk about years and recordings of headphones more in my next video so stay tuned if you're interested if not yet wait until another one comes with maybe again some speaker have a nice time thanks for watching and see you then bye bye
