If you prioritize overall sound quality and are looking for a wired solution for gaming, TV, and music listening, the KZ ZSN Pro with Mic would be a better choice due to its higher sound quality. However, the Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones, despite having lower sound quality, offer unique benefits such as being sweatproof and dustproof, making them more suitable for exercises and outdoor activities. These are wireless, rest on your cheekbones, and allow you to hear your surroundings, which can be a safety feature during outdoor activities. They also have a built-in microphone, but keep in mind their open design offers less noise isolation than the KZ ZSN Pro. Give Feedback

"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."
