And never 'burn in' audio gear by sticking your head in an oven! It's not worth the risk!
@Slater, are you opening a new style of modding: "baking in" your IEMs? LOL

In WA, that carries a very different connotation. Can neither confirm nor deny I've "baked in" a few new pairs of KZs and over-ears. Listening impressions were...enhanced.

Only if I'm waiting for the pizza guy.

Oh, if I'm waiting for food it generally means I'm totally baked:laughing:

@SiggyFraud , maybe not to all but for me the sub <$8 ED9 is KZ Legend:beerchug:

ZSN / ZS10 pro shells are actually small, they indeed looked bigger in picture, but they are small, and sounds multiple time better than AKG bonus iem from samsung for me. You may try with ZSN pro first, they're good and cheap

I didn't care for the stock AKG with the S10. My first impression was I preferred the S8 & S9 version, but I usually toss them in a backpack as a backup to my backup pair. The Galaxy buds that came with my pre-order are better than the AKG also.

Found this old thing, creative Zen Vision:m. Which I thought had given up the ghost years old... Turns out it just needed a new power cable.
Works well with the ZS10 Pro and even better using the A3.

It never sounded this good back in the day with my old Sennheiser headphones.

You have convinced me! I have just ordered the ED9 off Ali Ex. Can you tell me what the two filters do?

Perhaps I will just keep using the stock AKG iem that came with my s10+
KZ is more into sports big iems apparently

Get a Sony MH755 and an aux extension.

Well on the original model you will or should find the dull gold one to be smoother and the shiny brass one may be just a little bright for you and I'd suggest a warm player or maybe some EQ reduction of the top end but with that said at low volumes you'll get gobs of detail out of the brass filter. Another trick is the foam mod in the nozzle:wink: Hope you like them:beerchug: On the newer model you'll hear less of both if that makes since!

By the way did you order the Chrome or Black version?

that's interesting. I thought the S10 version was the same as the S9 but just white? The S9 sounds great and I was using them until I got the ZS7.

Thanks! I ordered the chrome version. From what is say I will probably try the dull gold filter first then try the shiny one. I'm not really a fan of filters after having two Trinity Audio IEMs but I am remaining open minded!

Shiny gold filter = v shape with hard hitting low end

Dull brass filter = more balanced sound with enhanced treble
