I like this earphone except for the microphonic cable.
I don't understand why a company like Sony would ever use a microphonic cable nowadays.

What are the main differences between the AS10 and the BA10? Is the BA10 vented and the AS10 sealed? How is the isolation on each of them? Thanks.

The drivers should be exactly the same.

BA10 were a luxury version of AS10 The anodized aluminum shell is impeccably crafted (only none of the considerations for the fit).

BA10 are indeed vented, and the vents are real, I've just checked (and was a bit surprised).

BA10 sound a bit less grainy, more crisp, and higher treble is more there compared to AS10.

P. S. Both are good with isolation, AS10 are better.

BA10 has 4-way crossover. AS10 only has 3-way. 4-way crossover equates to better coherency between the multi drivers. It’s also more expensive to design and implement.

That’s one of the primary reasons why the ZS7 sounds so good. It is the only KZ (besides the BA10) that uses a 4-way crossover.

Okay, so stupidest question ever, but whatever. Could you guys share your opinion? Do current models from TRN/KZ/CCA/TFZ (KZ ZAX, CCA CA16, TRN VX, TFZ T2 as an example) sound generally MUCH better than the Apple AirPods and AirPods Pro? I know it's weird to compare wired earphones to wireless but I'm trying to compare something mainstream-ish with what we got with Chi-Fi.

Uh that's a pretty low standard to beat lol. Airpods pro is not bad, but not great either. KZ zax is wayyyy better than those airpods.

I agreed with voicemaster , ZAX and CA16 will leave airpod in the dust.

If you have enough money to burn, get the mid-end Chifi - compared to Airpods, it's like heaven and hell..., btw for anything above $100, make sure that you buy DAC or having Iphone 12, otherwise some of them will sound like crap.

Yes! BA10 and ZS7 my two favourite KZs.

 

[Nimweth]

Ha ha! I have just dug out my ZS7 and listened to some tracks, and compared them to the new BL-01. ZS7 blows them into the weeds. That bass!

That's Great! I just started the refund process for my two orders. Hope it goes as smoothly as yours.

I just got the KZ ZAX. I really enjoy the detail, but the low mids/bass areloose, slow, and almost overpowering on many tracks.

Fortunately they EQ very well. I didn't notice much of a difference with foam tips. Anything else i should check out around 100 or less with more neutral tuning that is detailed? Listen to synth, old prog like Eloy, metal like Rannoch and Obsequiae, ambient jazz and classical. Imaging, detail, non bloomy or bloated bass, good mids...yeah.
