ZS10 reshell in the making

wow what a nice project! I was trying to do something similar using ZS3's housing but I was struggling w/ the DD part, but after seeing this product it should be a lot easier now:

Also, I've seen something less complex using tubes but I have no idea the know how:

Sound wise they're nothing new if you're familiar with KZ hybrids. Still good though. The build is why you buy these. Omg they feel amazing. The updated cable is nice too. Preformed ear guides and the new 2-pin connectors are tops. Old upgrade cables work with it too.

+1 I also bought them for the build quality myself.

How is the sound signature? Is it v or u-shape, balanced, neutral? Does it have good sub-bass or treble extension?

Would you guys recommend the Tin Audio T2 (also in regard to other KZ options?)? And if so, is this a correct link for one (seeing as it is way cheaper than on other stores): link

Edit: Changed link to normal desktop link.

depends, do you like balanced sound signature? then its a great bargain at $27 (no idea on how that pre-order thing will work out due to 11.11). Some might comment that its bass-shy, but its more quality over quantity.

par for the course then, saw the pics of an actual unit and was immediately overcome with the desire to order (lucky 11.11 is so close). Can't wait to see some comparisons

Anyone know what diameter size the tips of the AS10 are? What are the recommended foam tips for it?

So should I opt for the AIR 2 or AIR 1 foam eartips? I don't want a situation where they come out in my ears, instead I want them to fit snuggly and tightly on to the earphone tips.

My post regarding the BA foam mod can be applied to ANY IEM with BA drivers.

As far as tuning the BA10, I can’t remember if it was the BA10 or the AS10, but I remember someone had recently posted how they were tinkering with stuffing dampening material in various holes of the plastic “guide housing” down inside the nozzle. They used cotton I believe. I think they were still trying to identify which “hole” corresponded to which driver, with the idea being able to tweak a certain frequency range by dampening that particular hole in the plastic housing.

When I get home later tonight, I’ll look around and see if I can find that post.

Yeah, that was me. If I remember correctly, it was the chamber with BAs that was most visible. The top one that was recessed slightly was the highs. It ended up sounding decent with the mod although I did end up return the BA10 and AS10 due to wanting to own something other than the traditional V shape. I wish I had tried them with the symbos tips but did try the Comply. I ended up going with a more W shaped iem (specifically the Fiio FH5) after trying the KZ & TFZ flagships. I just ordered the controversial IMR R1 last week. That will be interesting for sure. Still looking forward to what KZ has in store for us because the BA10 and AS10 did sound really good. Would love to see something like them refined even further. I think it's pretty amazing they got such good sound from all BA models so quickly. Quite impressive really

I wish all the future KZ's had this shape. Can you imagine if the AS10s were shaped like this? Love the outer contours like TFZ. They almost resemble Queens. Those were the most comfortable iems I've ever used. How do they sound? Is there a KZ model you would compare them to?

The concept is great, but I would expect the sound to be quite different. The zs10 in its original plastic case does not use acoustic tubing but in the custom shell i would expect the use of acoustic tubing. The internal diameter of the acoustic tubing along with tube length can dampen or amplify the frequency response especially in the HF region. Perhaps we could use the tubing to tune the zs10 even further to our liking

How's the isolation though? Are they as good or better than the ZS3s?

the T2? hm...it has average isolation from what I can remember. The form factor and the fact its vented doesn't really help isolation, so you'll need higher volume to drown out loud noise around you. ZS3 definitely has better isolation (if it fits your ears, that is)

Great, thanks for the info! I haven't really tried a more balanced set of IEMs so I'll probably buy these to try some.

Guys I found the KZ ED2/EDR2/EDR1 selling for as low as $3 on Ali

It's branded as 'TOMKAS' but I think it's just the KZ ED2. I doubt there are any fakes.

HELP !!

Guys i received my AS10s today. Bought them on aliexpress. They came in a sealed box but right side of AS10 has defective lip. The nozzle part the mesh is not accurate. But sound is OK. Im confused should i open a dispute?
