If you're on a budget and seeking a pair with a microphone for calls, the KZ ZSN Pro offers good call quality and is usually less expensive. It has a detachable cable which can be replaced or upgraded, but these earbuds may not be comfortable for every user due to their large size. For music enthusiasts, the KZ ZSN Pro provides a very good experience. In contrast, the Creative Labs Aurvana Trio LS offers comparable sound and call quality, better passive noise isolation to block out ambient noise, and is generally well suited for a variety of audio content including TV and video. However, they aren't ideal for exercise due to their poor sweat resistance and may feel slightly more expensive. Choose the KZ ZSN Pro for gaming and a budget-friendly option with replaceable cables, or the Creative Labs Aurvana Trio LS for better noise isolation and versatility. Give Feedback

Forbes

Mark Sparrow | December 2021
"These super-affordable wired earphones are some of the best I’ve heard in recent years. For the money they are unbeatable. And before you say: “I can’t use them as there’s no headphone jack on my smartphone!”, they can work with jack-less phones by using the brilliant little Creative SXFI headphone amp which plugs into a smartphone’s USB or Lightning port (with an adapter) and produces the most sublime audio output."

"Undoubtedly the focus and the star of the show, the ZSN Pro’s bass is big, bold and bangin’. The amount of gusto in the low end should satisfy anyone who likes a large lick of bass and even certified bassheads will probably get a kick out of this."
