Since you're having some nice IEMs in your sig ... how do the 10Pro compare to the Solaris / Andros?

Give me some time, I'll try to do a short comparison before the month ends.

every new kz model generates gushing praise before going going through more critical revaluation--it's a natural law. i do observe that the zs10 pro has had an unusually long honeymoon period--usually it's a month or so before sentiment changes.

What's impressive about this iteration is that they outperform KZ's own similar-price options, but with better comfort. They are just pleasant to listen to and cost-effective. Those 2 criteria will make a lot of people happy, including myself. I'm sure a new flavor of the month will pop up soon though, this is KZ after all.

Meh, my sentiments won’t change; the ZS10 Pro and ZS7 were my favorite KZs from the 1st time I heard them, and they still are.

Out of the box the ZS10Pro was for the price stunning and still is.

 

[Mybutthurts]

Just got the ZS10 Pro and I'm a believer, the first impression is a good one so far.

Liking that cable.

Where did you get it?

Should I buy ZS10 PRO if I love ES4's bass, its tame treble but need more forward mids? Thanks I really love ES4's sound signature (with silver cable and spiral dot tips)

FWIW, crin rated the ZS10 Pro as "not bad". If a fervent KZ hater can like/not hate it, it stands up to the "hype", I'd say.

Price difference aside, can anyone compare the AS12 and ZS10 Pro?

 

[xxAMAROKxx]

So ...no. AS12 is not for me, there is a too much treble somewhere at that sibilance range and disturbs me a lot. AS16 is my winner here - while bright and thin sounding (they are both), it has also very compact scene and it is easy to dive into the music with it.

EDIT: Hmm, after a longer time with silver/gold KZ cable on the as12, I must admit that their sound is coherent. And detailed. -- quality masters are required-- but still you have to get used to their bright sound anyway. Brighter treble than as16,

Ordered both from Linsoul's through Amazon.

I’d like to see them delve back into full size headphones (like the LP2):

Didn't even know they did headphones?!

Yeah, they’ve done a few headphones over the years. Nothing recently though.

Looks like it's the Tripowin C8 8-core from Linsoul. Links for Amazon and AliExpress here.

 

[KimChee]

Still loving the KZ ZS7, especially with cable 130

FYI, that silver plated copper ‘tinsel wire’ is the same type of wire KZ uses on its 8-wire flat braided cable.
