Demo'ed the ZS10 Pro today. It is a great all rounder. Tight, punchy bass from the DD with realistic timber. Mids and treble has plenty of details with no fatigue or sibilance issues. Also good build quality and fits very well. Vocals can sound tinny or grainy at times, but that is just nitpicking, just crazy good value for the price.

How can I tell which one I have? I do not have the original box. I do use the dull filter..

If you remove the filter, you shine a flashlight and look inside. There’s a difference in the number of holes in the driver (which you can see through the metal mesh).

The biofiber driver has 7 small holes (6 around the edges and 1 in the center), and the titanium driver just has 1 center hole and no holes around the outside.

Speaking of oldie-Goldies. Those HD9 ... worth getting? And recon the 2.25$ ones on AliX are authentic?
What about those bamboo ones?
:wink:
I have not ordered anything new in 24h !

HD9? Are you meaning the ED9's? If so absolutely but as far as the Bamboo ED7's you might take a pass on those (I think the Panda chews on his):grin:, they don't sound bad and for sure no where near a Best Buy $9.99 Skull Candy:smirk:

I’ll verify when I get home, but from memory the biofiber driver has 5 small holes and the titanium driver has 1 big one.

That's ok. I don't want to remove the filter and maybe not be able to put it back.

I do not see an ED7 in his list so if he had one he has eaten it by now.

By filter I’m talking about the shiny and dull changeable ones that screw onto the IEM body. Not to be confused with the nozzle ‘filters’ we usually are talking about (ie the stainless steel mesh screen).

Oh ok thanks...I was thinking about the screen..probably,because you are often removing those for various reasons. :)

No, HD9 :wink:. Those guys


I miss the good old days, when all KZs cost less than $10. I remember how shocking it was when they hit $15. It was like whaaaa?

Now they’re pumping out >$100 models like it’s no big thang
