You couldn't expect that at 50 USD, to also have a profit margin, they would use anything but really really entry level drivers, even if it is 10 of them
Still, for about 50 USD I like what I hear.
You liked T2 better? That is another ChiFi IEM that I find pretty darn great
Man....did I read right (between the line) and you prefer ZS7 over M6???Zs7 review is up and while hardly a hidden gem, it does make a solid case for the best iem under $50.

A while ago TFZ X1 / MIFO O5 pro (BA driver) was mentioned here. Who might want to buy this model, there seems to be a third OEM: "Halfsun" or something like that. The BA version is currently available at Aliexpress for a good price:

I have no experience with this seller and the quality of this version, but who can do without the chic blue color, will probably get this TWS a lot cheaper there.
I was also interested, but I have already the Anker Soundcore Liberty Air and today the X6 Bluetooth Headset TWS Aurora arrived. My need for TWS is covered for now, as I also have the TRN BT20.

Graph is very revealing about less peaky upper treble too....copy paste here because its very educational!
okay, you convince me that I need the A6 filter set then....where can we find it???Without having the vented filter or the LZ A6 filter set, the Zs7 has a better signature than the M6. The M6 can be made better than the 7, but not with what comes in the box.

Barely buy these DMG filter after I read your M6 review....but I wis an headfier try it before me lol Cause even if just 5$....don't wanna trow it in garbage.Penon Audio has them. https://penonaudio.com/lz-a5-filters.html but I'd be tempted to try the Vented filter for the DMG first as it will save you about $35 and may be exactly what you are looking for. I posted a graph of what it does for the signature the other day too.
With T2, for 50$ I really like what I hear, but not with ZS10.
I prefer EZaudio D4 over ZS10 too and they cost 10$.
TRN V80 are around 25$ and feel premium compared to cheapish ZS10 construction, because its another big aspect that displease me.
Man, they are in my ear again and listening to some jazz rock they feel another time artificial, grainy, bass is sloppy, percussion are super splashy and saxophone is so thin but fowards....now its Agnes Obel....wich is suppose to have plenty of air and silence around here piano-cello instrumental and silence is replace by some trebly veil, no decay in piano note....real torture for me: enough! Its like listening to something that was crazily EQ'ed.
If you wanna check lot of graph of ZS10, I think this is the place, it help me to understand better why I dislike them that much (and feel less alone about that to):
I think now that have something to do with high bass push and mids trebly.
''The KZ ZS10 is a decent sounding pair of closed-back in-ear headphones. They have a deep, powerful and consistent bass, an even and decently balanced mid-range and a good treble. However, their bass is a bit boomy and muddy, their mid-range sounds a bit recessed and hollow on vocals and lead instruments, and the treble is a little on the bright side. Also, they are a bit inconsistent with sibilances (S and T sounds), and like most other in-ear headphones, don't have a large and speaker-like soundstage.''

the v80 seems to be one of the more polarizing iems--folks (myself included) either really liked it or thought it sibilant/unnatural sounding.
