Great Audiophile Gift Ideas For The
2016 Holiday Season
Beteran KZ-ATE In Ear Monitors (IEMs)
The Beteran KZ-ATE In Ear Monitors (IEMs) are my go-to gift for this holiday season. They are, in my opinion, not only the greatest audio bargain of 2016, but perhaps one of the greatest audio bargains of all time. In my review of these inexpensive IEMs that appeared in the June 2016 issue of Enjoy the Music.com's Review Magazine, I said that they "sounded incredible.
Not only incredible because I wasn't expecting them to sound nearly this good, but incredible because they sounded good enough use on a daily basis". One shouldn't expect them to sound as good as upper-high-end models such as those from manufacturers like Noble, Shure, Westone, Etymotic, etc. because they don't sound as good. But that's not the point. The point is that one shouldn't expect sound this good from a IEM that cost less than $20. Yet the Beteran KZ-ATE delivers.
When I wrote the review, they cost about $15 on Amazon.com, but currently they cost around $12(!). "An incredible bargain" doesn't come close to what one will discover when they try these monitors on for size. Buy them by the dozen and use them as stocking stuffers, or keep a bunch wrapped in your top desk drawer to hand out to co-workers as the season approaches.
