Sennheiser HD 600

As to which one's better depends on your individual preferences - there are tons of reviews out there already with loads of comparisons between those two models.
Let me continue with what has been suggested xy times in the last xyz posts here: throw in some extra $ and get the ZS10 Pro (less than 30€ on Ali Express - a s.t.e.a.l. IMO). I own all three and would pick the 10Pro any day of the week without thinking twice.

Nuff said, next please ...

Thank you very much for your reply!
I decided to just purchase the ZSN Pro haha.
Thanks!

I was wondering about the possible zs5v3 as well due to the existence of zs6v2

How about zs5v2 vs ZSN/ZSN Pro at the ~$15 tier?

I think the far better build quality, better cable, and more comfortable shell of the ZSN/ZSN Pro would make me question if the ZS5 was even worth considering at all.

As far as the existence of a ZS6 v2, I own one so it is definitely real.

KZ ZS10 Pro are straight up porn. They have no right to sound like that for that little damage. Finally a true successor to my two year old KZ ZS6, which the Tin Audio T2 just weren't. Listening to them, I could also pinpoint those niggles with my KZ ZS6. Quite surprised by the amazing fit & comfort, details, separation and the near-perfect balance of lows, mids & highs to my ears. Can enjoy them for hours without feeling any fatigue. Overall, the best $30 ever spent without a question.
KZ has surely come a long way.

Will upgrade the cables soon, although the stock ones are pretty decent as well.

Yup...I think KZ has come up with a set that can definitely compete with alot more pricey gear. Absolutely LOVE the ZS10 Pro!

Hello, ZS7 have arrived yesterday, so I did a quick comparison with ZS10 Pro (original cables and silicone tips)
So ... ZS10 Pro are more detailed from lows to heights.
Bass quantity is similar, zs7 have more hum in sub-bas.
Mids are in back seat on both. Better balanced on ZS10 Pro.
Heights are more prominent on ZS10 Pro. More presence and airiness.

And my preferences?
ZS10 Pro are great for electronic music and vocals. Their elevated heights do a good job here in terms of feeling and space. But I found ZS10 Pro as unbalanced for genres like rock, metal, indie, some pop or instrumentals etc. There is simply too much treble on high-hats, cymbals, percusions and similar high pitched instruments.

And while ZS7 aren't so extended on both ends, I like them more, as the iem suitable for more genres. Also I prefer upper-mid bump in these days, which is audible and very well behaved on ZS7.

I don't have the ZS7, but I like the ZS10 PRO just fine for rock, Reggae, pop, and just about everything in between. I no longer feel the need to buy the ZS7 or anything else from KZ or CCA at the moment. Honestly, for less than $50 these things outperform other stuff that costs $100-150. Imo, of course.

Terminator is coming (dynamic driver + 5 BA). Shell looks like ZSR.

Does this mean KZ will only be producing multi-BA IEMs from now on?

A good one!
Or they can always return to their single-DD roots.

But then at least from a point of simple logic, any design can be improved at least a little bit by adding one more driver.

I still hope that CCA will do C20 based on C16 with the added sub-bass DD and piezo

 

[moisespr123]

Twitter says it's 1 DD and 5 BA

I hope not.
I mean, for example i like CCA A10 which is a great example of an excellent tuning in a cheap multi-BA config, but if i had to choose a personal daily companion that would be a super natural DD like the one featured in the EDR1.
I love DDs and i'm one of the many that prefer an organic sounding earphone with a great slam than a super precise and highly detailed multi-BA iem.

Guess i am not the only one at least.. but in any case, i hope they stop making hybrid with 929283 drivers and start using better drivers for single DD and multi-ba configs.
Hybrids usually have more problems than solo-dd or solo-ba earphones.

Now that would be great! But I think it will probably be all-BA, there is a rumour that it will be the C18.

I agree, most likely all-BAs.
I've heard about C18 rather than C20. I think they are trying to be strategic: first C18 and then C20 will get more purchases

 

[PhonoPhi]

On a note of all-BAs, I put together my subjective comparison of A10, X6 together with AS10, BA10, C16 and more.

So I would like to ask knowledgable and experienced people here what would be the best way to share it here?
