If the ZST was a nice fit, then most people here will say that KZ ZS10 Pro is the best KZ right now. It uses same shell as ZST with a steel back plate and 5 drivers each side, so it will be heavier. However no one really has anything bad to say about them. They are on Aliexpress at $35Hi folks,
I have been using my KZ ZST for some time (bought them just after their release) , and I think I am ready for a new pair of chi-fi IEM...
Even I am not a specialist at all, or even use them intensively, I find they are not really perfect to my ears:
- I find the highs are a bit weird, pearcing, with even some sibilance sometimes
- I also find the mids are a bit too much recessed, and somehow lacks details (even if i found it much more muddy when received them, burn in helped on this point)
So, could you please help me in finding a new pair of IEM (the chi-fi scene is constantly moving, so maybe a bit tough to follow)? I am a bit lost with all these potential gems...
Here are my needs and usage:
I don't use DAPs anymore, and will mostly use them from my phone (Huawei P20pro), so they have to be driveable...
Seems also that I appreciate more mild v-shaped (ZST is my limit in terms of bass, and I am also looking for softer highs).
My budget is rather low. Let's say around 50$, maybe a bit more for something that would give a big improvement, maybe during next AE sales...
Tks for your help
Also CCA C10 is $24 and also uses the same shell. Very smooth warm tones with great mids. A very good all- rounder that is crazy loud at low volumes. Easily driven by phones. A very safe bet IMO.
