KZ Decet In-Ear Monitors Review
KZ's Decet is listed with 10 drivers, five per side, including a dedicated bass driver, per the page, plus a detachable recessed 2-pin cable with silver-plated wiring. It starts at $36.99 with a 3.5mm plug in Standard or Tuning Switch versions, and suits buyers who want a high driver count.

Our verdict
A ten-driver in-ear monitor for someone who wants five drivers per side, a detachable 2-pin cable and a 3.5mm plug from $36.99. Look elsewhere if you need a listed impedance, sensitivity or cable length, or an explanation of the Tuning Switch version, because the listing text gives none. The main caveat is that the page's sound and acoustic-curve descriptions are the maker's claims and were not checked here.
- Best for
- Someone after a multi-driver IEM with a detachable 2-pin cable and a 3.5mm plug.
- Skip if
- You need a listed impedance, sensitivity or cable length, or want the Tuning Switch explained.
The Decet is KZ's ten-driver in-ear monitor, with five drivers per side by the page's count and a dedicated bass driver that the page says is independent of the mids and highs, plus an electronic crossover. The housing is 3D-printed resin per the page, and the detachable recessed 2-pin cable has silver-plated wiring. Prices run from $36.99 to $38.99 across three orderable options with 3.5mm plugs.
Options and pricing
There are three orderable options. Standard is $36.99, and Tuning Switch is $37.99-$38.99. By microphone type, 3.5mm STD is $36.99-$37.99 and 3.5mm With Mic is $38.99, so every option uses a 3.5mm plug. That is one fewer than the four combinations of two versions and two microphone types, and the page does not say which is missing. The listing text never describes the Tuning Switch version, so what it adds is not stated.
How it compares
The Decet starts at $36.99, above the KZ Vader at $34.99 and below the CCA C12 at $38. The C12 entry mentions 1DD, 5BA and 6BA, and the SGOR Luna, also $38, mentions a planar driver, while the Decet's page lists ten drivers in a dynamic array. The Vader entry shows no spec lines to compare.
Shipping
- Methods and costs. The store's shipping page offers Standard Shipping (4PX, Yanwen or Yun Express), free for most countries, and Express Shipping (DHL Express, FedEx or SF Express) at 15-50 USD depending on the country, free for orders over 270 USD in most countries (checked 2026-11-11).
- Delivery times. It says an in-stock order ships within 3 working days, Standard takes about 2 weeks after shipping out (up to 1-3 months for some countries, and the store makes no refund for that transit time) and Express takes about 3-7 days. Festive seasons and other circumstances can change the timing.
- Taxes and fees. The buyer pays any customs, import or processing fees. The page says Standard via YunExpress is tax-inclusive for some countries, that remote areas can carry extra Express charges, and that a parcel refused or left uncollected over taxes is deducted two-way freight and may be destroyed with no refund.
- Where it ships. The page says the store can generally ship to most countries by Express and many by Standard, and to confirm Standard with the team for your country. It cannot ship to PO boxes or APO/FPO addresses and can only use Express to Hawaii. It does not name the US, Canada, the UK, Australia or New Zealand, so confirm before you pay.
- Lost parcels. If a parcel has been in transit for at least 3 months, the page offers a one-time reshipment or a full refund for orders under $50 and a 50% refund for orders above $50.
Returns and warranty
- Returns. The return page allows returning any non-customized product that is still factory sealed within 30 days of receiving it, with the buyer paying the shipping. Email [email protected] within that period; the store asks for the return to be shipped within 5 working days of the RMA instructions and in most cases processes a refund within 5 business days of inspecting it (checked 2026-11-11).
- Opened items. A product opened within the first 7 days after delivery can be returned for the price minus a restocking fee of 35% of its retail value, including when it still works properly.
- Refund or credit. The buyer can choose a refund to the original payment method (PayPal or card) or store credit; with no answer within 48 hours of confirmation the default is store credit, which can also be prioritized during promotions, final-sale events and for items 40% or more off retail.
- Not returnable. Customized products, including faceplate designs, are non-refundable, and the page says the same applies to carry cases, cables, ear tips and other accessories, "due to hygiene purposes". If one item in a package is defective, incorrect or missing, the refund or replacement covers only that item.
- Warranty. The page gives a 1-year warranty on products, excluding carry cases, ear tips and other accessories, and 3 months on cables and adapters, from the date of purchase. It covers factory defects that affect proper function, not damage from human error, negligence, accidents, dismantling, water, abuse or modification (checked 2026-11-11).
- Not covered or limited. It does not apply to items bought elsewhere (AliExpress, Amazon, local dealers and the like), prize or giveaway items, normal wear or colour change, commercial use, or items that were stolen or went missing. Coverage is limited for products 40% or more off retail, for review units and for items repaired or modified by anyone Linsoul has not authorized.
- Claims. Email [email protected] with the order number, the issue and photos and videos of the fault. The store may ask for the unit back for a replacement. It covers shipping for some defects reported within 7 days of delivery if the fault can be shown on video or photo; after 7 days the buyer ships it back. For wrong or missing items an unboxing video of the whole sealed parcel is required.

What we couldn’t verify
- The page's claims of a reference acoustic curve, smooth crossover, clarity, deep bass and a wide soundstage are the maker's and were not checked here.
- Per the page, the listing text gives no impedance, sensitivity, cable length or weight, and it does not describe the Tuning Switch option.
- We have not read an independent review of this product or the store, and the store's own ratings were not verified. We read the store's catalog description only: a specification table or image shown just on the live page was not read.
- The shipping page names no US, Canada, UK, Australia or New Zealand times or fees: its figures are general and we could not confirm them for these countries.
