A while back someone mentioned that the only KZ's you "need" to buy are the ZS6, ZS7 and AS10.
I have not seen this very post but "by mistake" bought these three altogether.:relieved: Now I am at a loss- which ones are better. You can't wear three of them at the same time. Or can you?:angry:
But serously, ZS7 and AS10 are terrific. At Russian forums they say AS10 does not deliver the correct sound (meaning instruments sound unnaturally), but to me these two are just marvelous.

After the recent release of the ZS10 Pro, is this still the case?
Can't speak to the other KZs mentioned in your post (because I have not had the chance to listen to them), but I can tell you that the ZS10 PRO is phenomenal. Still can't believe that this kind if SQ exists for a mere $50. If I hadn't previously found/bought the Kanas Pro, I can honestly say that the ZS10 Pro would have made me more than happy.

I'm waiting on the Jcally cable it should come Tuesday
I got mine last week and finally installed it on my ZS10 PRO tonight. Have been listening for almost 3 hours and it sounds spectacular. I got the 2.5 balanced version, and it's a big improvement on SQ; the build is definitely much nicer and more robust than the supplied KZ cable that came in the box.

Anyone pairing their KZ with an inexpensive DAP? Looking to take advantage of the sale at fasttech and maybe grab the Ruizu a50. Seems respected in the proper threads, just wondering if KZ folks had a suggestion. Fasttech doesn't have a large selection but happen to have that one. Thanks
I'm using a Fiio Q1MK2 dac/amp right now, but I'm looking towards getting a dap soon to get full use of my smartphone back. On Aliex I have a Xduoo X20 in my cart, as well as the new Fiio M11. I'm still trying to decide which is the better value.

You're easy to please. :wink: Glad you like your new pro toy.

Not trying to empty your wallet but the x20 is $188 on fasttech with the coupon on their homepage. Out of my budget, but will add it to the wish list

Z6 was great but they suffer from sibillance for long time session for most people, so ZS7 keep the great of Z6 and share same shell, so ZS7 is coming to replace ZS6
AS10 is multidriver BA only from KZ, good, but for mem the sub bass can't dig deep enough and mid bass bleed too much. ZS10 pro i believe, better.
Many of users here also put ZS10 pro on KZ top list, so i believe its good. lets see couple of days, mine should be here

Is the Kanas Pro following the Harman Curve as well? Why is this Curve so "important" anyway? Wasn't it made by one person?

I bought the Crescent to sample the Moondrop brand as the positive reviews (of the brand) are overflowing. I will compare them to the KZ ZS7 even though they are completely different. :wink:

It's important to hear the Kanas Pro is even much better than the Crescent.

Kanas Pro is 1 of the closest to Harman Target, seems like KZ ZS10 pro finally trying to after it also, from the FR i can see its already good enough considering its price

Oh, I 'need' the ZS6?
I was actually looking for an excuse to order that one :D Mainly because metal & red
But the ZS7 has arrived in the mail and I will be able to listen to it in 2 weeks ... also read about it having quite the treble (the zs6 I mean)

After using KZ ZS10 pro for a little over 2 weeks, I can honestly say this is the best KZ has to offer that I own so far.
