The ZSN has titanium film dynamic drivers, while the C10 has a new type of high definition low distortion dynamic drivers. They both perform well! The only difference I can hear is slightly lower controlled sub-bass coming from the C10 which makes them sound very sweet, while, in the other hand, the ZSN has slightly better detailed bass/upper bass due to the titanium film drivers. The BA armatures on the C10 corrects the upper frequency brightness, which gives better control to a non-harsh and sibilant environment. This is why I scored the C10 a perfect 10 and the ZSN a 9.9. But, personally they are a no brainer and keepers for me!

So CCA doesn’t say what type of diaphragm is used, but they do say the C10 DD has a 30% more powerful magnet.
From my own magnet modding experience, as well as the superior performance we see with super high Tesla drivers in IEMs like the IT01, I can attest that this is a significant contributor to the C10’s excellent low end presentation.
