From the discord,
while KZ AS16Pro have pretty positive response. it have one finicky aspect of Impedance.
It seems KZ will release AS16Pro-Revised where it will be able to pump out the target curve sound with low impedance source

You do realize I ordered a 30 ohm impedance adapter yesterday, and the AZ AS16 Pro, the week before. Since the AS16 pro was better than the AS16 at a lower price, does this mean the KZ AS16 pro Max turbo revised MkII will be even cheaper?

The AS16 Pro is a great all BA IEM. It actually took me by surprise how good it is. Great throughout the FR. Very happy to use it and it is competing with some big hitters. Definitely one I will use in any rotation.

I hope that KZ will properly identify this revision, unlike some quiet revisions of the past making many understandably frustrated.
Then there are two ways to revise: one (easier and more limited) is just to add an 18-Ohm resistor, another is to properly retune with the low impedance source to their target curve. The latter I could get just for curiosity of the comparison.
As for the name, AS16 pro classic would be the more fitting one, since the revision is much closer to original AS16.
Similar to original AS16, the revision may be perceived less warmly given the tuning targeted for classical and acoustic music (less bass, less warm, more prominent treble); it would be interesting to hear comparisons of real people.
If different impedances must be tested (which can be quite some fun, if not taking you away from your music) then the simple volume control (1 kOhm resistor), as this one (it can be purchased more economically, just one of the first hits) can be recommended, where you can get 20-30 Ohm and more different values, can trigger your source into high gain mode, and have more fun
The revised version of AST (perhaps also incidentally tuned with the "dialed "30 Ohm source impedance) would be really great.
ESX is an interesting one. It’s the bassiest set in my collection by far and I still think it sounds pretty hazy and low-res even after switching to AET07 tips - recessed vocals, far-away cymbals, guitars lack bite, there’s an overall sense of hollowness to the sound. Yet every now and then I pick them up and still find them pretty enjoyable when I’m not thinking of these things.
i just ordered as16 pro and a 18ohm impedance adapter. let's see what happens. always been a fan of dd+ba hybrids, let's see if as16 pro lives up to the hype.
