KZ ZAT is the companies premier Hybrid offering, and In all honestly my expectations where high.
It has 9 drivers inside each shell, a single 8mm DD doing the bass and 8 carefully selected BAs to handle the mids and highs.
So although hardware wise, the ZAT does not dissapoint it's with the sound where things get delicate.

It's not that it's bad , but it isn't exactly great either.
Bass is shy and a little over delicate , while the mids, are fine at lower volume levels but forget about turning up the heat.
As for extension and that sense of space and air.....hmmm there ain't much of that..... things sound closed in and a little bland.
I guess you could make an argument that this was done to avoid the BA timbre , the fake sense of soundstage, but honestly there is nothing in the ZATs performance that makes up for that lack of sparkle. no

Compared to other offerings I need not go too far, CCA HM20 is still in my books the best hybrid from KZ / CCA , while the KZ ZAX or ZS10PRO X are more satisfying.
The KZ AS24 , the TOTL all BA set , also walks all over the ZAT, and even the likes of KZ ZVX, Dfi are all more coherent and musical.

I wish that what I had to say about the ZAT was more positive , but when the Castor Harman at 15 USD outperforms the ZAT at 90usd , there's not much that can be said!
