Nice review. Really appreciate this. How would you compare this to zs7, specifically in terms of clarity, separation and soundstage

The midrange of the ZS7 is more forward, but in contrast to the C10 a bit of clarity and separation is lost. The C10s sound a bit finer and tidier, but not quite as full-bodied. The stage is really comparable! The ZS7's midrange and more prominent bass make them more intimate. For me both are almost at eye level, but I like the fun factor and the musicality of the ZS7 a bit more. As far as audiophile standards are concerned, the C10s are ahead of the pack.
