Why not? Sound signature is one thing, technicalities of the IEM itself is another.

Technicalities is something measurable. Otherwise it's just an opinion.
I have quite a few KZ earphones and can say ZS10 Pro is the best KZ iem I have had the pleasure to listen to

Yay! So now you are ready to sell all the other KZs and the suitcase you keep them in.

Yes, you! Isn't that the first thing you do when you get a new IEM?
By the way, what kind of glue/sticky substance do you use to put them back in place?
Yeah, it is actually haha
As far as putting them back on, they almost all have a ring of sticky adhesive around the circumference. This allows them to be stuck right back on, exactly as they originally were (assuming you don’t mess up the adhesive by sticking it to something dirty). I usually temporarily stick them to a piece of wax paper or even a candle. This way the adhesive stays pristine, for when I’m ready to put them back on.
I’ve only run into a few IEMs that actually had their nozzle screens glued in place (maybe 1 in 20). In those cases, I’ll just replace the stock nozzle screens with new 3rd party ones (with the sticky adhesive ring).

Nice review, Nimweth!
I particularily like your impressions of musical sequences through those phones and (like usual) the comparisons with other IEMs. The only thing I somehow missed was a comparison between the Pros and the standard ZSN. I own both and like so often there's no clear 'winner' in my book.
In your review you've mentioned an upgraded version of the 30095 BA in the Pros (any further infos?); well ... generally their treble sounds at least slightly less edgy to my ears. As so often though a lot depends on what you feed them with and at the end of the day the Pros appear more forgiving to me in that area (+1). When it comes to their respective bass and lower mids though the Pros appear more demanding than the Std. ZSN to keep their (KZ idea of) balance. To my ears the lower registers as well as the spectral balance of the Pros benefit distinctively more when driven from a decent source than the original ZSN, even though that doesn't seem to help much with the ~175-250Hz (appr.) 'mush' on either IEM.
Just my 2 €¢ ... keep it up!

All this zs10 pro talk has me really regretting not getting one. I just hate the nubs only because I purchased a lot of really nice balanced cables and would like to use them.

He also said the DM6 was good...
I can only control what comes out of my mouth. I've never heard the DM6, so I can't comment on it.
