Yes, I plan to burn in for 100 hours, and try different cables as well. Very impressive out of the box. Like a cuddlier C16 really!

Yes, they can happily exist beside the C16. I love their industrial looking metal design as well.

Is the C10 a downgrade or sidegrade from AS10? I am assuming it is both?

No. It's an upgrade of zs10 for me.
C16 is a upgrade of as10

Well after a quite successful Cheltenham I went and bought an amp, a FIIO A3 to complement my FIIO X1-2gen. And put into action initially with an ZS10...wow there a pretty distinct improvement, less muddyness in mid range, firmer bass and as if a veil had been removed from the music, it really brought the ZS10 to life.
Today listened to AS10, not so much of an improvement. Seems to me a little brighter, maybe a tighter bass.
Also, used with a set of Motorola over ears and also lifted them to level above what I expected.
Looks like due to its impedance of 32ohms (iirc) the ZS10 needs a bit of Welly behind it to really sing.

Yes, the A3 is excellent, it does have a sound which is on the warmer side of neutral. That probably explains the improvements in the bass.

Has anybody grabbed a KZ BA10 during this last month or so and found it to be a happy time!! lol
I just put mine in after not listening to them for weeks and I still love this sound! I wanted to hear it fresh again as much as I could, these deserve more love, I think.

Man, cold season really bugs me. Keep thinking I'm having seal issues because my left ear picks up more bass than the right, even with foamies. Nope, just stuffed up sinuses.

Looks like it'll be over-ears for the next few days.

Be aware that the plug will stick up, because the 2-pin connector on the ZSN is different than other KZs. All KZs have recessed sockets, but the ZSN has a raised socket.

You can still technically plug in a normal 2-pin cable and it will fit, but it will stick out. Whether or not that bothers you or your friend is a personal thing.

So that’s going to be a bigger issue than the 0.75mm vs 0.78mm pin size (which the pin size really isn’t an issue).

Thank you Slater, I did wonder if that was going to be a problem... That's a pity. I'll look more into it, thanks anyway

i wonder if i should take a bite by buying the ZSN Pro, i dont really like the standard ZSN (it lives as my bluetooth earphone now since it looked nice) but hey, they cost the same as the ZSN on my local website (i know, **** logic right ?)
also KZ said something about dual DD, but on the product page it says 1dd + 1ba, im starting to guess its a concentric DD, since by the renders its thicker than the ZSN DD
i wonder if its a waste of cash hmm....

Just ordered the KZ ZSN Pro blue with mic for £12.63 which is so cheap. I will update here when it arrives.

I agree, a good spurcs bring much improvement ! My Zishan Z3 change the quality of perception of zs10 this last day. Just the stereo and little artificial but really large

Yeah, I've had some massive sinus problems this winter, still not completely gone. Also had my ears flushed and it took some time for my hearing to adjust to that. Now I still have some slight ringing in my ears which gets worse during the night.

...just bought the "blue" one, as well!

BLUE is sooooo COOL!

I need an earphone under $30.
Can anyone tell me which earphone should I buy?
I was thinking of KZ AS06 but I found the CCA C10 in the same price range.

 

[DallaPo]

It depends on what sound you're looking for!
The AS06 has more bass, but a bit of a peaky upper midrange and treble. The C10 is more balanced overall and a perfect all-rounder.

Maybe this can help you too:

I'm having the same problems from time to time. Good thing when it really acts up and influences my hearing is that I don't have to wonder which IEM to use as they will all sound crap.
