There’s a Chi-Fi sale party at the KZTWS online shop! Among others they are offering:
+ KZ EDX Lite earphones for $9
+ CCA Polaris for $12
+ KZ AM01 cable DAC/amp for $14
+ KZ Castor for $15
+ CCA Pianist for $30
+ KZ Krila for $16
+ and more!
KZ ZS10 PRO IEMs for $40 [Prime]
Chifi too makes a guest appearance at the 2022 Prime deals with the new condition wired mic/remote KZ ZS10 PRO IEMs with four balanced armatures and one dynamic driver going for $40 with free US shipping.
This is fulfilled by Amazon, which means you can have it in your hands in a matter of hours (depending on how close you are to Prime delivery). Versus buying it from China/Hong-Kong with a much longer delivery wait time.
Coupon Discounts if you multiple KZ X Crinacle CRN (or other KZ) IEMs [ship from China]
If you are planning to get multiple units of the hype-train KZ X Crinacle CRN IEMs, or if you are planning to buy multiple KZ products in general, you can take advantage of coupon promotions running at the official KZ online shop. While these promotions are running, you can find them on the individual product pages, below the “Buy Now” and “Add to Cart” black buttons.
The coupons are as follows:
- $5 off $49+ with KZ5
- $10 off $79+ with KZ10
- $20 off $109+ with KZ20
- $30 off $149+ with KZ30
If you search for the Crinacles (not to be confused with the Trader Joe Kringles), you will find two listings at the KZ online shop. This is the new listing for the actual Crinacles. You can also tell because there’s the “crincle” in the webpage’s url.
The second listing is merely the ZEX PRO listing that is being upgraded to the Crinacle. You will notice the text there that says:
“If you purchase this link, you will be upgraded to CRN”
These ship from China, but you get world-wide free shipping. Free shipping is a lot easier for IEMs than headphones or other bulkier or heavier products 🙂
Buy the KZ x Crinacle CRN from Amazon (still ships from China)
All Aboard the IEM Hype Train! The KZ x Crinacle CRN (the artist formerly known as “KZ ZEX PRO”) is steaming up the hype machines of the headphoolia forums. With a reasonable price of under $40, curiosity can easily kill the audiophool cat’s wallet 😉
For the moment this ships from China, but if you don’t want to create a shopping account at new shopping websites (Ali, GearBest, KZ, LinSoul, etc), you have another option, because some of them are offering the IEMs through Amazon USA. These still ship from China but you have the convenience of not having to create an extra shopping account, re-enter credit card info, etc, etc.
The price is just under $40 after you use the limited-time clip-on coupons over there. This is achieved via a $7 off clip-on coupon from the Linsoul Amazon store and a $10 off clip-on coupon from the KZ Official Amazon store and the G.K Amazon shop (I haven’t heard of this one before, then again, I’m not a chi-fi guru YET).
Again, these ship from China, you just get the convenience and consumer-benefits of ordering from Amazon. Not to mention the 5% cashback if you have Amazon’s own credit cards…
KZ ZST PRO In-Ears w/mic-remote for $12
As of the time of writing Amazon USA has over 8900 overstock new condition items listed at their Outlet store. You can check by categories. Yes, there is a headphones category…
And among them you can find a name-brand Chi-Fi option 🙂 It’s the new condition KZ ZST PRO in-ears in the purple color scheme going for $12. This is the mic/remote option with one dynamic and one balanced armature, on sale only in the purple color scheme.
This is sold by the KZ Amazon shop, with the order fulfilled by Amazon, so Prime members get it with free 2-day shipping. Non-members have to reach the $25+ total for free shipping…
You can buy as many as you want. This is not a daily deal…
Starts Sunday 3:39pm ET: KZ ZS10 PRO IEM Lightning Deal
Starting on Sunday 12/20/20 at 3:39pm eastern time, and lasting for a few hours after that, Amazon is planning to have a limited-time lightning deal on the new condition KZ ZS10 PRO IEMs… As of the time of writing there’s also a $5 off clip-on coupon (clip this as soon as you see it because these can come and go with respect to lightning deals)…
Now, keep in mind there are many colors/variants of this on the listing, various colors and with or without a microphone. The actual variant(s) that will be on sale will only be revealed when it goes live over there…
KZ Singles Day sales
I’m still in the KZ phase of Chi-fi and if you are too, they have plenty of sales with quick-processing (“ships within 24 hours” they claim) and sometimes some freebies (eg extra foam eartips) on various KZ in-ears at Ali Express. The link here points to a search for “KZ ZSN PRO” but you can use their search box or browse around to find your KZ models of interest…
On the other hand, if you prefer faster and less adventurous delivery, the prices are higher but not much higher at Amazon USA…
This being singles day and all, it is a bit of a shocker how high the prices of some of the KZs are at Gear Best. Did they have some kind of a falling out? Did they cheat KZ by falling in love with another Chifi manufacturer? 🙂
Singles Day sales include KZ IEMs and Xiaomi Over-Ears for $46
It’s Singles Day all around the world as the time zones come and go, which is why some of the offers last for 48 hours or longer. And some of the 11.11 offers are headphones.
For example, at GearBest you can get the closed-back over-ear Xiaomi for $46 with free shipping. There’s also a few offers for small discounts listed on the page there (eg pay with PayPal, first time customers, etc) so check there before buying…
Also on sale are various KZ in-ears at Gearbest, with all the participating models having the “Flash Sale” tag near to them…
A lot more sales can be found at Ali Express where there’s an official Fiio store among others… There’s also Xduoo action and lots more ~ their internal search box and menus are your friends when it comes to finding product(s) of interest…
Also part of the sales is various sizes of Sandisk microSD cards offered by a 3rd-party seller at Aliexpress…
KZ ZS10 PrO IEMs for $40 to $43 [MD]
If you are ready to jump into the KZ budget hype train or if you want more for yourself or as gifts for others, for the next two days and change (as of the time of writing of this post), Massdrop is offering the new condition KZ ZS10 PRO in-ears for $40 with free US shipping. Shipment is estimated to be in early December 2019 so it should get to you on time for holiday gift-giving purposes [but always, regardless of the situation, have a Plan B to go to in case of unforeseen trouble]…
The $40 is without a mic/remote but if you wish a mic/remote, that model goes for $43 and it is available in three color options.
These will ship from Massdrop itself. There is no mention of a warranty in the listing…
$5 off coupon: Linsoul KZ ZS10 IEMs
When you are logged on to your Amazon account, you can clip a $5 off “green” coupon to your account for various colors and options of the new condition Linsoul KZ ZS10 in-ears, a 5-driver model with four balanced armatures and one dynamic.

Monday (starts 12:49pm ET): KZ ES4 Lightning Deal
If you are a fan of the way KZ is doing in-ears and you don’t want to wait for a few weeks for these to arrive from China, starting at 12:49pm ET on Monday 8/19/19, there will be a lightning deal on the KZ ES4 in-ears at Amazon USA. Note that there are multiple options on the listing: different colors and with/without a microphone. We do not know ahead of time which one(s) of the options will be the lightning deal, so be sure to check the various options or go through the headphone tag in the Amazon Gold Box to find it quickly…
Starts Mon 2:45pm ET: KZ ES4 In-Ear Lightning Deal
If you are a fan of the KZ earphones but don’t want to wait for them to arrive from China, the Amazon Gold Box features them occasionally on lightning deals. One such case happens today (Monday 7/29/19) at 2:45pm eastern time, it is the new condition KZ ES4 In-Ears. Their price before the sale is $19 for the linked-to option BUT I do not know which one(s) of the colors and mic/no-mic combinations will be participating in the lighting deal. The only way to know is to be there when they go live…
These also have small (single figure) discount co-promotions when you page-down to their “Special offers and product promotions” on the individual Amazon product pages of the KZs.
This offer appears to be sold by marketplace seller “Yinyoo Audio” with the orders getting fulfilled by Amazon ~ so free 2-day Prime shipping or the usual $29+ free shipping.
PS: as I am slowly getting up to speed with more regular postings, this is a good time to start thinking what type of deals and coverage you’d like to see more of on this blog! Think about and please feel free to leave a comment on any of the posts…
IF you don’t want your comments to be made public, simply write so in the comment (eg “don’t post this”). All comments are moderated, so nothing goes live unless it gets manually approved…
Starts 12pm ET: KZ ES4 Earphone Lighting Deal
If you like chasing Gold Box lightning deals, per the schedule posted over there, starting at 12pm eastern today (Tuesday 7/23/19) they will have a lightning deal on the KZ ES4 earphones.
There are multiple colors and options (without or with mic/remote), and we don’t know ahead of time which one(s) will be on sale. The price before sale is $20 for the model pointed out to in the Gold Box, BUT sometimes it points to the “root option” of the listing, and not the one that would actually go on sale.
If you don’t want to dig into the color options, you can look for it at the Headphones lightning deals (currently five pages of them)…
In comparison, these go for round $15 at Gear Best, while the situation is a bit too chaotic to quickly figure it out at AliExpress…
Flash Sale: KZ ZS10 In-Ears w/mic/remote for $34
GearBest (not GearBeast) has launched a weekend sale and among their various offerings, for a limited time, you can find the new condition KZ ZS10 In-Ears for $34 or 30 euro (depending on location). This is the black color scheme with a mic/remote.
They ship from China. Shipment from Hong Kong is more expensive. Shipping fees are very low for registered air mail ($2-$3 for many locations). Earphones are, after all, a small little thing 🙂
There are 187 units available as part of this flash deal as of the time of writing.
They have detachable cables, so you can mix and match if you have other compatible cables, or you can optionally turn them into bluetooth by using a compatible KZ bluetooth cable.
KZ AS06 BA In-Ears for $35 to $37 [MD]
The number of KZ earphones is increasing by the minute. One of the many models in their lineup is the KZ AS06, a three balanced-armature design, and it is currently on sale at Massdrop for $35 without a mic/remote, or $37 with a mic/remote. These will ship on April Fool’s Day from Massdrop. There’s no mention f warranty in the listing…
KZ AS10 In-Ears for $45 to $47 [MD]
KZ is riding high on the Chi-Fi Hype Train, but they managed to release so many different models, there’s too much confusion and one can’t get no relief without some googling around. Thankfully the Journeyman’s Toolbox has published an easy to read guide to many of the existing models, with reviews of them available as well.
Which brings us to Massdrop, where they have launched a drop on the new condition KZ AS10 in-ears with detachable cable of course, going for $45 without a mic/remote and $47 with a mic/remote. It would have been nice if they offered the option to purchase additional cables (eg one with and one without a mic/remote, but they don’t).
The orders will be shipped by the vendor on April Fool’s Day. There’s no mention of warranty in the listing. Two color options are available, either red or cyan.
PS: if headphones were groceries, considering the price, that’s like paying $9 per balance armature 😉
PS2: I’ve wanted to try out the KZ earphones for a while, but I’ve been suffering from analysis-paralysis from all those different models and sellers 🙂
PS3: here’s another take on the KZ options, this one a 5-minute video from Callaghan Reviews, YouTube-embedded below [may start with a 30-second ad]:
[DEAD] KZ ZSR In-Ears for $25
This lightning deal expired but more KZ chi-fi earphones are becoming recurring offerings at the Gold Box, so more offers should come out in the next few weeks/months [speculation]…
KZ ZS10 shipping late April for $45 to $46 [six options]
If you are a fan of the KZ in-ears, their brand new ZS10 is currently on sale for $45 (without mic) or $46 (with mic) with free slow shipping from China at GearBest. There are three colors, multiply by two (with or without-mic), making it a total of six options.
The shipping estimate is April 26-30. How fast you’ll get them after that depends on the shipping method. The free shipping option is unregistered (no tracking) with a 15-25 business days estimate. The $1.20 option is Registered Air Mail. The $2.04 option is “Priority Line” with a 7-10 business days estimate. Expedited shipping jumps to $15 with a 3-8 business days estimate.
Here’s a screenshot of the three color schemes:
[DEAD] KZ Easy ZST Hybrid Earphones for $14 to $15
This particular offer expired but fear not if you missed it – it returns every few days/weeks…
[DEAD] Tuesday: 8% off anniversary sale at GearBest
This anniversary promotion expired…
There are lots of KZ earphones and accessories among other things sold at GearBest (ships from China) and Tuesday 3/20/18, as part of the festivities of their four year anniversary, many items are having an 8% off sale. The price you see is the price you pay, there is no coupon code to enter. Discounted items have a “4th” next to their name.
[DEAD] Yinyoo KZ ZST Hybrid BA/Dyn IEMs for $14
This lightning deal expired, but if you missed it, fear not. These “fulfilled by Amazon” (Prime shipping) KZ ZST hybrid IEMs are recurring in the lightning deals every few days/weeks…

This daily deal expired…
[DEAD] KZ ZST In-Ears (Black, No Mic) for $14

Still Good: KZ ZS6 In-Ears for $29 w/FS from China
The 11/11 sale price of $29 has stuck around for two of the three color schemes of the KZ ZS6 in-ears, the black and red color schemes continue to be on sale at this price at GearBest with free slow shipping from China. The green color scheme however has been discontinued… The ZS5 continues to range between $18 and $20 depending on option…
$7 off the KZ ES3, may be as low as $5 [ships from China]
For a limited time, coupon code NBVJQAYF drops $7 off the KZ ES3 earphones at ships-from-China seller GeekBuying. You need an account to test the coupon. The current price on their website is $11.59. I don’t know if the coupon is stackable with the discount, thus making it $4.59 or not. I don’t have an account with them, so unfortunately I can’t test the coupon.
Still good: KZ ZS6 In-Ears for $29 w/free S&H from China
Some of the 11/11 deals are still sticking around. For example, the black and red color schemes of the KZ ZS6 in-ears continue to go for $29 with free slow shipping from China at GearBest (for the longest time I thought it was GearBeast).
Meanwhile the KZ5 in-ears start at $18 (gray, no mic) and increase slightly based on color and mic. A number of their other earphones also continue to be on sale.
Note that this is slow shipping from China and the holidays will add to the delays, so if you are planning to use these as holiday gifts, it may be a good idea to have a Plan B to be on the safe side.
KZ ZS6 In-Ears for $29 w/free S&H from China [two colors]
UPDATE: it is now 11.11 in most of Asia, and the price of these dropped to $29 with free slow shipping from China in the black or red color schemes..
The 11/11 sales are just around the corner but why wait? GearBEST has a sale on all three TWO colors of the KZ ZS6 earphones going for $32 with free shipping in the black or red color schemes. This ship from China for free, but it is slow shipping. There are options to get faster shipping in the shopping but they are not free. But these are small things, so it shouldn’t cost much (depending on location, etc, etc, etc).
For more KZ action at GearBest, check all the KZ products they carry.
PS: the green color was on sale for $29 in mid October but not the other two colors.
PS2: the green sold-out as of 11/10/17 AM re-check…
