Absolutely. Look forward to seeing your review.
Yeah the C10 look and sound rather buttery

If you like AS10 sound signature, C10 may come across being too lean. The C10 needs a strong source to get it to sing; balanced & extended FR. You can also play around with C10's pressure vents to beef up bass/low mids. I wonder how many of us are still hooked to AS10 sound?

Well fingers crossed.
As for the As10 for my money are pretty near the best KZ have put out.
Great isolation, super fit, lovely smooth sound.

Just got my hands again on a ZSN Pro & took me 4 layers of micropore tape to achieve acceptable upper mids and sibilance lmao. Micropore tape is awesome @Slater

Afraid to use more as I might kill the treble?? Is the nozzle mesh removable in this IEM??

I did a similar mod to my zs10 pros. But I used a small piece packing foam. I managed to get one of them under the grill. But it tore the other one, so I just shoved it into the nozzle. I'm the only one who can see it. So who cares? I think it tames a few of the upper mid peaks and means I don't have to eq them. It's a bit less refined than slaters mod, but it gets the job done. I ought to mod my kbear kb10s they are even peakier. But I rarely use them.

Yeah, especially with thin-sounding or old productions, AS10 makes them sound like studio re-masters!
I recently got a bit more treble out of AS10 by replacing the factory cables with KZ's silver plated cable. It's only a few bucks, you should give is a try.

You got subjective bias telling you that more treble was had. But no evidence points to it being true objectively.

So after missing out for a while, today I finally got myself a pair of KS4 in red. Along with my CCA C10.
Still love the my 3s with that killer isolation, and after a couple of hours with the 4 I'm not disappointed. Nice lip to hold the tips on, Near Etymotic isolation, improved sound over the 3....(we have mids!)
Even came with a very swanky Zip case.
Having a lot of fun at the moment with these, not technically the greatest but they sure are a fun listen.....It maybe sometime before I try the C10

Fair statement. This hobby has a fair amount subjectivity embedded our opinions. Mine included, obviously.

It sounds like you’re very treble sensitive, as the original ZS10 has always been described as dark. And you posted on the Blon thread that the BL03 has harsh and sibilant treble (which wow that’s the first time I’ve ever heard the BL03 described like that).

So if the ZS10 Pro and BL03 are too much for you, I have some really bad news about the ZSN Pro X....

Yep I can agree with that. They scream treble. Compared to even my T3's. If they weren't so cheap i would have returned them, but i'm giving them a few hours to burn in.

You can hear the difference between knowles and budget chinese BA.s.

Dang, these aren't even really high heavy or sibilant! You must be very sensitive to treble D:

Well that 2.5k, 5k and 8k does actually look quite sharp.

If there is a "treble police (I got a second pair if A10 on deep sale thanks to them), should it then be "anti-treble police"

My problem with the recent ZSN X pro is not the treble but the underdeveloped mids, especially the DD/BA transition.

If you turn your volume down just right, you can enjoy every one of them

I got my Shuoer Tape (eq) for that, hyper detailed even with low volume.

Hi everyone.

Just wanna ask for a recommendation on a pair of KZ earphones.

I bought a pair of KZ Zs4 before and am looking for a little upgrade.

I mostly listen to band music like Pink Floyd, Tool, etc. So not necessarily looking for that heavy bass kind of sound.

Your opinion on what I should purchase would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
