Sounds like my son is going to love them. He won't even have to pretend to be excited.

Side note: managed to snag one of those novelty on-ears for my 5-year old daughter that had a unicorn horn. I don't think she's ever sounded more excited to get something and I've bought that girl tons of My Little Pony stuff. Made me a pretty happy dad.

Just wait until she finds out there are unicorn headphones with dual drivers.

Very interesting question, since I recently asked myself that question, as well!

My thoughts would be, if the ZSN PRO's would have been out before the C10, I would have been content with the PRO's. But, knowing now that the PRO's leans more towards a V-type sound signature, and a very good and competitive one for that matter, I am very happy to own the C10 for its more balanced approach to basically all genre's. They both play in a more mature manner, one being V-shaped, while the other balanced. They are slightly different enough for me to like them both equally! But, I can see this clearly being a tug-of-war between the ZSN PRO -VS- C10! Though, I can nick-pick more details with the C10, while the PRO's brings a crisp and airy approach. In the end, it's probably going to be anybody's guess or personal choice. ...You can't go wrong with either of them!

Stock tips and cable ?

How about soundstage comparison? original KZN is narrow, is it bigger now? on par with C10 or better? Thanks

These appear to be 3 different colors....maybe it's the lighting though. @Zerohour88

Those of you using 0.78mm 2-pin cables - Do you think it's very stressful to the KZ sockets? It's very tempting to get some 16 core balanced cables for my ZS7 (still in transit), but I don't want to cause damage or shorten the usable life ot them

Clear, is the Pro shell exactly identical to that of the regular ZSN, including nozzle shape, dimensions (diameter, length) and projection angle? It'll help me decide to get it at around $11 for my daughter. She has my smallish ears and I think maybe also the shape and angle of my external meatus.

If exactly identical, then it'll be perfect as her graduation gift add-on.

Nozzle shape and all other angles are the same, but the only difference I see is the alloy back plate sticks out slightly more maybe to accommodate the slightly thicker dynamic driver on the PRO's (thicker from front to back due to the double magnet dynamic and crossover placement). Plus, the PRO seems to feel just slightly heavier probably due to the added alloy and the slightly thicker dynamic driver.

This is what I got so far. :wink:...I'll provide PIC's later in the weekend for everyone to see. :point_left:

So far, soundstage on the ZSN PRO's definitely sounds bigger than the original ZSN and on par with the C10. Though the C10, in a sense, sounds more holographic. But, the BIG soundstage on the PRO's still has me completely amazed due to the better tuning, nonetheless!

Muchas Gracias mi Amigo Claro! :kissing_smiling_eyes:
