Graphs of iems KZ has been testing recently have been teased on the KZ discord server. They are supposedly all going to be released at some point.

In my opinion they mostly look great, especially E (wow!), D and C. Seems like Crin influenced their mind about tuning a lot. I arranged the graphs from most to least appealing to me.

Maybe they will release all this for 30 bucks to make us forget about DriverGate, and I would not be mad at all!

Driver gate doesn't matter. Things happen.

Other audio brands do exist so if problems happen with any brand anybody can walk over and use other brands gear, which they should already own. This isn't the 1990s when most people were religious about Sony.

I am very impressed with the AS12. A neutral/bright well balanced profile with excellent BA bass. The 30012 treble units really deliver. It joins the others in my KZ Hall of Fame which are:
BA10, AST, ZS7, ED9 and ZS4.

It look mighty tempting. and it seems Crin tuning have great influence on this.
I wonder what kind of setup they going to use.

KZ ZS10Pro-x with (textured) bass boosted IFF neutral + current cra vocals + more natural timbre would be awesome.

I am considering the followings:
ZS4 - $10
ZS5 - $10
ES4 - $11
ZS6 - $17

If I only buy one from above, which one is a better buy?
And will I be disappointed if I already have ZSX and BA10?

Personally the answer is yes.

But its due to ZS5 is quite sibilant/piercing for me and ZS6 is eargrater.
I haven't tried the ZS4 and eS4.

If you put KZ ZS7 or OG ZST in there however...

If your budget around 20$, the best iem you can buy is sell your ZSX and get the Aria lol

CCA CRA treble has more texture and spacious with the filters totally removed. not sibilant at all since it's not BA.

Depend on the music, no-filter to my ears feel like DQ6 but harsher, shouty mess.

yeah that harshness you mentioned is there but it brings out some texture to the sound but i agree it would be unwelcome on tracks where treble needs to be smooth. if fits some modern pop as there's some grittiness in the track itself. while not perfect it's a variation of the sound signature.

filters totally removed

CCA CRA w/o filter is KZ EDX Pro

 

[jananan78]

i am beginning to wonder if there's a BA driver hiding somewhere...

i have 2 x EDX pro as well on different cables, this sounds different - more forward. but my CRA is on that thick gold silver copper mixed kz cable instead of the original cable.

ED9+CP100 make such a great combo

EDP+CP100 make such a great combo

I do not know the EDP, sorry.
