Sort of interesting for them to collab with Angelears. I guess Angelears will just be distributing them though and not actually helping with the manufacturing or tuning

they also helped the marketing and commisioned this pretty image for marketing.
We didn't get a waifu box tough. just normal (smaller) KZ box.

Damn, if KZ gave us a waifu box I might have just had to buy a pair.

Ordered the X-One mk4, now to go watch some Audio Shrink vids lol.

I'm not a fan of that sound signature is all LOL Not you're style. You're great. That type of signature is the opposite of the tuning I enjoy. I like sunshine, air, and fluffy clouds! Vampires are not my thing! LOL

It seems like we have similar listening preferences. I’m not a fan of vampires either, LOL.

I’ve been glued to this thread all week man, but I suppose audio is the better addiction since it keeps me optimistic and doesn’t destroy my health.

Oh, the Watercooler thread is getting behind the Discovery in the numbers of posts (I know some Watercoolers are very much into the number of posts and into "overtaking" Discovery - with the last month dynamics - not gonna happen )

On a more constructive note, the amount of information/text remains the same (hopefully, not straining the server as well), and sometimes it is easy to read when it is "one message- one post", especially for a younger generation.

Would agree with you on the comparison, specially the treble and bass is of higher quality and resolution on ZS10 Pro 2. The bass quality is actually very good and better than many other more expensive sets.

But I still get fatuiged after listening to this KZ on more energetic music or for longer sessions. I'm very sensetive to bad quality upper mids and that's probably why, as it does have some of that grainy sharper upper midrange. Not the first KZ and CCA giving me this problem, why I tend to only like the dynamic driver models

But I cannot deny this being a good value of them, especially looking at the price

Reminds me of the old days here when @Slater was still around (mod in peace, bro) and he and some other nerds here were modding the living cr@p out of those KZ, CCA, TRN, BLON, etc..., including 'inside jobs' ... opening them up, dampening individual drivers, etc...
Not for everyone but OTOH no rocket science either. Even though I'm not much of a fan of xy-brids, if the pos. reviews on the Pro 2 keep coming in I might get a pair myself and see what can be done IF the upper midrange somewhere around that prominent 3k peak needs some work ... might be worth it.

Thanks for saving me from being continually tempted by the ST7 haha. I have these zs10s and they ARE quite amazing, although still not as much bass as the good ol' ZS6, although probably a bit more detailed.

The good 'ol ZS6 ... after some mods (cotton tubes, blue tack dots on new steel meshes, mesh filter on one of the treble BAs) they've been my daily bangers on public transport for quite some time ... I still own 4 sets, lol.
Once I'm at it ... something that might have escaped some folks is that there are 2 versions of the ZS6 (that have been discussed quite a bit back then). The first batch(es) sport some spicy older Bellsing BA for the treble that some folks here didn't like too much but at some point KZ switched to new custom Bellsings and while that helped a bit to tame the hot trebles some modders here, myself included, preferred the spicier OG version (with some quick and dirty mods, see above).
Can't please everyone, but at least they keep trying

Akros collab, a 1DD iem apparently.

Ok, Akros and a 1DD tuned by him is definitely worth to keep your eyes and especially ears open.

The 10k dip is fine, but the 8k peak worries me a bit. The ~13k peak is negligible. But what I'm looking forward to is that there's a very very mild rise where the pinna gain region begins, and to take out a bit of the higher mids might be something I enjoy.

...and since it's Akros, our wallets likely will enjoy this upcoming release nonetheless because he's always after the best budget performers out there and my bet is, it won't cost a fortune.

I used to mod cheapo chi-fi DAP's during the halcyon earbuds forum days. Any modding: like op-amp rolling / capacitor exchanging etc. was always linked to specialist forum threads so it wasn't really an issue. ST7 & Pro2 are still both on my radar - alas once the Hydro arrives, will inform whether I need them tbf.
