And just for @DocHoliday if you want to buy from Amazon spend $9 for 6 rolls instead of $6 for 1 for the cable tie wrap material

Yeah, I have a penchant for micro-driver IEMs. It started with the Klipsch Image S3 and progressed with the HDS1 and HDS3. Still ticked that I don't have the lackluster HDS2 (shipped to Southern California in stead of Northern California where I live. They are forever lost, but I'm looking forward to taking those new ED15's for a ride.

This is a shot in the dark but maybe those ED15 drivers are running in parallel (no crossover) which might be a good thing because there would be no dip or loss of information where the drivers would normally crossover.

Also, the ED15's compact housing could be misleading. The HDS1 had an intimate soundstage and the HDS3 had a near holographic soundstage. Both had tiny housings and triple vents in the rear.

Just a handful of my micro-driver IEMs.

I would say:

Seahf AWK-009
ADAX HT06
Ty Hi-Z G3

Try the Yersen FEN2000. You should find them for about 15 euros in the Ali sale now.

By the way: what are your expectations on the newly released KZ ED15?

Some people have received ZS10 in China and I've only seen a few but all very positive impressions. It's apparently warm sounding, especially compared to ZS6 (surprise surprise..), wide soundstage... (this part is just early impressions from regular people, wouldn't take is seriously + I used Google Translate).
Here are some first hand photos. They are quite nice looking, also, braided cable confirmed out of the box.

Very good looking, glad I picked the black one, looks very transparent you can see the inside.
Now it will be a challenge for my patience to wait 4~5 weeks before receiving them.

Does any one know exactly what material used for the housing of the ZS10?

Yes, as far as i know. This is the starting sale. KZ mentioned that all KZ10 in starting sale will be included with the upgraded copper cable instead of the normal stock cable.

From what I understand, the following are the feedback given:
- Similar packaging style as ZSR.
- No more sibilance like ZS6
- trebles are not one bit piercing?
- bass is better than ZS6
- huge improvement over ZS6
- wide sound stage
- good separation?
- great detail
- most mentioned they will give a second impression after burning in (all the above are before burning in)
- there are a few who mentioned that out of all the kz that they have tried, this is the best one they have so far.
- there's one customer who mentioned that out of the 10++ KZ earphone that he bought, this is the best in terms of sound and hardware quality.


Sounds promising, excited to see what the folks here thinks about this KZ ZS10

From the pictures on taobao, seems they will have a mic version braided cable (a first!). I ordered the mic version too, hopefully it's the braided one.

The 8 strand silver upgrade cable looks mighty awesome on the ZS10 too...glad I got it as a bundle with my ZSR. Hopefully mine arrives by next week before my trip!

All this ED talk makes me uncomfortable.
