Our verdict

A hybrid set for someone who wants a listed 30095 balanced armature with a 10mm dynamic driver from $21 in Black or Gold. Look elsewhere if you need a stated connector type, impedance or weight, because the listing text gives none of them. The main caveat is that the sound and tuning words, and the 26dB noise reduction figure, are the maker's claims, so rely on the listed facts and your own listening.

You need to know the connector type or impedance before buying.

The page presents the ZSN PRO X as the upgraded version of the ZSN PRO, pairing a customized 30095 high frequency balanced armature with a 10mm dynamic driver that it calls dual magnetic. The shell combines a zinc alloy faceplate with an imported resin cavity, and the cable is described as high-purity silver-plated. The price starts at $21, and there are three orderable options covering Black or Gold and a microphone choice.

Options and pricing

Three orderable options are listed. The Color choice is Black or Gold, and the Mic choice is without mic or with mic. A set without a microphone is $21 and one with a microphone is $22, and Gold is shown at $21 to $22 while Black is $21. The page shows no crossed-out price, and the listing text does not say which color and microphone combinations make up the three options.

How it compares

The KZ ZSN PRO is the model this page says it is based on, starts at the same $21, and its listing text mentions a hybrid layout. The KZ ZNA starts at $22 and its text mentions a 30095 BA, as this page does. The MOONDROP CHU III is a single $21.24 price, and the data we hold gives it no spec line, so price is the only figure to set beside this page.

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.

Before you buy

Linsoul says it was founded in 2016 by the Crazy HiFi team to bring Chinese HiFi makers closer to listeners worldwide, and that it now sells other makers' products alongside four brands of its own, THIEAUDIO, Kiwi Ears, ZiiGaat and Tripowin (checked 2026-11-11).

We have not read any independent review of this product or of the store. Ratings and owner reviews shown on the store's own pages are the store's and were not verified.

What we liked

  • The page names a 30095 balanced armature and a 10mm dynamic driver
  • The version without a microphone is $21 and the one with a microphone is $22
  • The page says the cable is high-purity silver-plated
  • A zinc alloy faceplate and an imported resin cavity are described

Worth noting

  • The listing text gives no connector type, so the plug and pin spacing are not stated
  • The Drivers row on the page reads as an upgrade note rather than a driver count
  • No impedance, sensitivity or weight is given in the listing text
  • The sound and tuning wording, and the 26dB noise reduction figure, are the maker's claims and cannot be checked from the listing

Questions before you buy

What drivers does the ZSN PRO X list?

The page names a customized 30095 high frequency balanced armature and a 10mm dynamic driver, and calls the dynamic driver dual magnetic. The Drivers spec row on the page reads as a description of an upgrade instead of a count.

Which colors and microphone options are offered?

Black and Gold, with a without-mic or with-mic choice. The page lists three orderable options, and without mic is $21 while with mic is $22.

Does the page say what the cable plugs into?

The listing text does not say. It calls the cable high-purity silver-plated and gives no connector or plug type.

Can I return it if I change my mind?

The return page allows returning a non-customized product that is still factory sealed within 30 days of receiving it, with the buyer paying shipping. An opened product returned within 7 days carries a 35% restocking fee. Refunds go to the original payment method or to store credit, which is the default if you do not choose.

How long does shipping take?

The shipping page says in-stock orders ship within 3 working days. Standard Shipping takes about 2 weeks after shipping out, up to 1-3 months for some countries, and Express takes about 3-7 days. Standard is free for most countries; Express costs 15-50 USD and is free over 270 USD (over $499.99 for large items such as headphones and desktop DAC/AMPs).

Does Linsoul ship to the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand?

The page says Linsoul can generally ship to most countries by Express and many by Standard, and to ask the team about Standard for your country. It names no restriction for the US, Canada, the UK, Australia or New Zealand, but it does not list them either, and it can only use Express to Hawaii.

What warranty does it have?

The page gives a 1-year warranty on products from the purchase date for factory defects, not for human error, accidents or modification. Coverage is limited for items 40% or more off retail and for review units, and it does not apply to items bought from other sellers.

What we couldn’t verify

  • The page's tuning and sound wording (smooth mids, bright highs, rich low-frequency power) are the maker's claims and were not checked here.
  • Per the page, the Drivers row is a note about resetting the magnetic gap and diaphragm, not a driver count, so the driver count has to be read from the text.
  • The page says the cable is high-purity silver-plated and gives no connector type, impedance, sensitivity or weight; the 26dB noise reduction figure has no stated method.
  • 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.
