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.

As10, nice little upgrade, Floyd and such like play effortless on it.

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.

Yeah that where i think the problems lies. The DD is just pulling its weight. Not sure of the size, probably only 10mm.

But its a 20 dollar IEM, so what do you expect. I won't buy cheap IEM's anymore. My lowest price i will go is about $70.

Do you have a budget? And is it only a KZ IEM u are looking for?

KZ is undoubtedly the market leader at the $30ish - $50 USD region, and they were my first foray into CHIFI, but there are other good affordable CHIFI brands to consider too. And I gotta say above the $50 price bracket, there may be better stuff than KZs.

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

i sold my Tape after i got the T2+. between my T2 Pro (for low volume) and Etys(for higher volume) , there's not much that the Tape can add. T2Pro for me sounds better in similar scenarios to the Tape, and i can get the ZS10 Pro/ ZSX in the same ballpark as the Tape with EQ. i hope the new Tape 2 would be good though

In fact my budget is about £30. I'm not looking to spend a lot. Only wanting to get a little upgrade as my previous pair are a bit worn out.

Am not partial to KZ. But had a good first experience with KZ ZS4.

U might wanna read about stuff like:
- KBEAR KB04
- KZ ZS10 Pro
- KZ ZSX
- CCA C12
- TRN V90

There's a new CCA C10 Pro that just launched, but haven't seen any reviews about it, but one to keep an eye on. If u can up your budget a bit, do consider the iBasso IT00. There's actually a big Aliexpress sale now going on, so it is a good time too to get stuff, though better check on how are the transit times to your country in view of covid.

Thanks for all the choices. I'll definitely look into it. So these ones specially would be good for band type rock music?

Yep I would think a V shaped type signature with good technicalities should suit rock, so those would be my go to (they are multi BA/hybrid type IEMs).

I hope others can advise too though!

I'm about to gift my Dad a Bluetooth cable for his KZ ZSN Pro. Which KBear S1 variant should fit better on the ZSN Pro's Paragraph C cable? "2 Pin" or "TFZ" one?? Thanks

Nevermind there's a hidden description that the TFZ ones fits Para C KZ's

Nice. I'm considering between ZS10 Pro, CCA C10 Pro (They just look fantastic, ) and maybe the CCA C12.

Need to make up my mind between these.

I felt the ZSX seem too big to me and iBasso a bit out of my price range.

Absolutely!
That would be as if standing right next to cymbals - high overtones are there and overwhelming.

High overtones decay fast, so over some distance cymbals are more listenable.

I listen to strings, recently I was particular enjoying recordings of Chinese string instruments with plucked strings: konghou, guzheng.

Less dampened BAs make those instruments sound amazing, as if you are immersed into sea of strings, and pentatonic makes it also easier for clashing overtones.

Works well with chamber string instruments as well.
