I've been reading every post on this thread since i joined and i am seriously looking forward to trying my first ever set of IEM's judging by what you guys are saying about the 10 Pro's
I started reading this thread on page one, despite having to read hundreds of pages, you?

My ZS6 came in. It sounds nice, bright and musical. I'm not sure about sibilance... but it sounds warm and smooth. So maybe not? I will compare if its v1 or v2 when I get my ZS5 in the mail. The ZS6 is a winner. Skip artificial sounding ZSN and buy a natural sounding ZS6!

To me, ZS6 is one of the best works in chi-fi as well.
Anyway, i cannot say they're "warm": their treble peak makes them sound very brilliant which can be too much for some out there..

Hello!
Long time not checked KZ line of iem, what is the newest and best model that is not over the ear? I mean light like an ED4

No?

For excellent questions like this I wish we had a wikia for all KZ releases ... like release, picture, shape, specs ...

I cannot recall the last time I saw KZ putting out an IEM that was not 2pin / over ear style ... maybe the ZSE or ED9 ?

Actually there was the KZ ED15 (https://bit.ly/2wuJpuZ), but it wasn't very successful. Also, I'm not sure if it's still available.

Perhaps I will just keep using the stock AKG iem that came with my s10+
KZ is more into sports big iems apparently
Maybe you should give ED9 a try? Based on countless positive opinions here on Head-Fi I ordered a pair about a week ago. I've got many "better" IEMs, but ED9 seems to be a real legend around here.

I was not a big fan of those over-ear detachable cable IEMs in the beginning as well, but then I got the ZS3 and loved them ... now I am mainly rocking the AS06 and enjoy, besides the sound, the secure & comfortable fit, the combination with the BT20 bluetooth modules and the excellent passive noise isolation.

ZSN / ZS10 pro shells are actually small, they indeed looked bigger in picture, but they are small, and sounds multiple time better than AKG bonus iem from samsung for me. You may try with ZSN pro first, they're good and cheap
