Tuning Adjustable Dual-Driver IEM

KZ Castor

Challenging all flagship products in the Hi-Fi industry with its formidable strength

Introduction to the Two Versions of KZ Castor

Harman Target Version

With the Harman FR curve as its tuning target, whether in terms of parameter performance or sound perception, KZ Castor outperforms most flagship products from other brands.

Harman Target with Improved Bass Version

Based on the Harman FR curve, KZ Castor enhances low-frequency sensitivity and dynamic performance, achieving an unparalleled low-frequency experience. Simultaneously, the mid and high frequencies of KZ Castor seamlessly align with the Harman FR curve.

It is built upon the acclaimed Harman FR curve within the Hi-Fi community and pushes beyond its boundaries!

In the past two years, many audiophiles have pursued a higher degree of adherence to the Harman FR curve. Many brands have used the Harman curve as a reference to launch their flagship products. Due to the challenging nature of acoustic tuning in achieving the Harman curve, many brands only fine-tune their flagship products to a relatively high degree of adherence. On the other hand, some lower-priced products, constrained by technology and cost, do not follow the Harman curve style in their tuning.

KZ Castor breaks through traditional acoustic tuning methods by innovatively adopting a dual-dynamic driver acoustic design. This approach has resulted in the perfect Harman curve that outperforms flagship products from other brands.

Innovative Stacked Dual-Dynamic Drivers Structure Design

KZ Castor features a unique design with two stacked dynamic drivers. One driver is dedicated to producing frequencies around 20-200Hz for bass output, while the other diver handles mid and high frequencies. Through precise electronic crossover technology, these two divers work synergistically without interference between their frequencies. This enables KZ Castor to deliver powerful and energetic bass as well as stunning mid and high frequencies.

Customized for Audiophiles Seeking a Deeper Bass

Traditional earphone products often exhibit a drop of around 6-7dB in the frequency range of 40- 300Hz, and some earphone products marketed as Hi-Fi may even have a dip as low as 4- 5 dB. (Why do so-called Hi-Fi earphone products have less drop in the low frequencies? This is done to create a false sense of perception for users. By reducing the low frequencies, they aim to make the mid and high frequencies seem better, claiming it’s for low distortion. In reality, this is all deception, as they can’t technically enhance only the 100Hz frequency range without affecting other ranges.) This meager drop in low frequencies is like reducing the explosion of a nuclear bomb to the sound of a firecracker.

In contrast, KZ Castor boasts a drop of over 10dB in the 40Hz-300Hz range. Using the acoustic theory that 6dB represents a doubling, KZ Castor’s performance in the low-frequency range has decisively outperformed traditional headphones in data.

Experience unprecedented and breathtaking super bass

When we set the bass frequency range to 20-200Hz, traditional manufacturers often attempt to adjust the sensitivity of this range by altering the unit’s damping. The primary limitation here is that it’s nearly impossible to boost only the 20-200Hz range without affecting the 300Hz range; excessive boosting in the 300Hz range leads to muddiness in the sound. However, with our KZ Castor’s dual-driver design, one driver is dedicated to independently handling the 20-200Hz frequency range and fully amplifying the output within this range. This approach allows us to achieve an unparalleled and stunning bass experience.
Top and bottom stacked cavity structure
KZ Castor adopts a top and bottom-stacked cavity design to strike a balance between sound quality and comfortable wearing, resulting in a smaller overall earphone size and improved comfort during wear.

Built-in professional-grade filters support adjustable low and high frequencies

KZ Castor has professional acoustic filters that support 2-stage adjustments for low frequencies and 2-stage adjustments for high frequencies. Users can fine-tune their sound preferences to create 16 different audio profiles based on their preferred music styles.

A higher precision integrated injection molding process than 3D printing

The precision of the integrated injection molding process is theoretically more than 10 times higher than traditional 3D printing technology. The tolerance range of traditional 3D printing is around 0.1mm, while the precision of KZ Castor’s internal support structure is around 0.01mm.
Thermoplastic slow rebound memory foam ear tips
KZ Castor utilizes premium memory foam ear tips with optimized physical structure to significantly reduce teeth clenching noise. The slow rebound memory sponge material enhances wearing comfort and provides excellent noise reduction and sound isolation effects.
