I'm thinking about drilling a hole into the backplate of my ZSN Pro's and covering the hole with a mesh to make them "open back". Any suggestions/problems that you see?

I just did last night...
And guess what?
Cover back the hole with toothpick and gave it new hole with needle.

Did it sound weird? What problems did u have with it and did it change the soundscape at all?

KZ are getting closer to making a really good TWS but they still need to address some key issues...For those interested, I just published my review of the SA08.

Altough only a milimeter bigger than original vent, it sounds too loose for me (no mesh). The problem with using the mesh from inside, the sounds become different between channels.
I tought old vent mod like this only work for bullet shape shell iems.
You can try yourself, if something wrong happen, you can always revert to original hole size using blutack.

Hehehehehe here are my impressions of the KZ ZAX https://www.perrivanaudio.com/post/kz-zax-review! I have to say, it is so far the best sounding KZ that I tried over the past few years.

Wish I could say but I've never heard the AS12. Sorry.

The AS12's trebles seem to be very complete and ideally balanced with upper-midrange.

I am using the Mh755 tips...Large, on my Edx and boy what am improvement in sound quality.. Reduces the harshness and smooths them out considerably.. Bass impact has increased without spilling over.. Better definition and still detailed... Made an already good sounding iem sound much better imo... More comfortable fit and seal as well...

I quite like mine as well. As a matter of fact, I'm listening with them right now...

By the way, the minor issues you mentioned about sound quality can easily be remedy by EQ. I've done so with - tuned to Harman - and it did noticeably improve.

Not too mention you got an awesome iem with those tips for $5 And to think people walk into Best Buy and get cheap, bad sounding Skull Candies for $19.99 a pair They are also worthy cables tweaks which credit goes to Slater and the late and great Hungry Panda R.I.P. our friend

Not to stray too far from thread topic and get myself TERMINATED

Glad that I was able to help!

Between the Z1 (single DD "XUN") and the SA08 which do you prefer?

Thanks in advance.

I know you're the O.G. when it comes to KZ Acoustics.

I can't seem to get my DQ6 soon enough but still looking forward to your review on them.

The AS12's trebles seem to be very complete and ideally balanced with upper-midrange.

Agreed.

"The AS12's trebles seem to be very complete and ideally balanced with upper-midrange." ...and lower frequencies (just like the BA10).

It's not as warm as the BA10 but it's a supreme listening experience.

I haven't heard the ZS7, ZSX, ZAX or ASX (I do have ASF) but considering my extensive collection the AS12 is KZ's best effort as of January 2021.

I am tempted to pick up a ZSX and ZAX but given the tuning of the BA10 and AS12 I'm just not tempted enough. I do regret not picking up the ZS7 (the ZS6 is one of my favorites) but it will be a dark day when the BA10 and AS12 are no longer available.

Am I incorrect in my understanding that you like the $70 AS12 as much as your $700 Moondrop S8?

Say What, you may have possibly missed the "A" in that naming!

KZ SA08 (TWS)

Hey m8, just wanted to say I am usually very critical of reviews and your site is laid out very well, has very concise well written reviews, and most of all... the photography is top notch.

One of the few edx reviews Iv seen outside headfi.

I for one am an absolute fan of Sony hybrid tips (the real ones or the copies you can find everywhere on AE) and I'll try them on the EDX to see how they sound.
I'm using TWS like tips on EDX now, as I like the fit they provide.
I'm not bothered the least by high mids and trebles of EDX, which I like very much, perhaps I'm not sensitive to this part of the sound spectrum?
I also must say I'm always listening at quite low volume (60dB usually, 70dN -peak- when I'm going crazy!) so that probably helps reduce the harshness a lot of people are talking about?
