Aye I, I've seen plenty of positive reviews on the likes of KZ EDX and the others, but it's unfortunate that the KZs uses 0.75mm pin instead of the 0.78mm, since I already have cables and bluetooth module for the 0.78mm (I own a TFZ Exclusive 1). But I will get them for gifts to my friends, and I have to check these gifts first, which mean I can try them outJust get a 2 pin IEM then. Or maybe buy two cheap iems, one dedicated to listening and one dedicated to sports, so you won't need to swap stuff.
There's cheap KZs like EDX that have quite good reviews and are relatively affordable. I think u can get two for $12 usd, just skip a restaurant meal for music bliss!

0.75mm and 0.78 mm really doesn't make a difference. I can assure you that their manufacturing tolerances are not precise to 0.01 of an mm.
I've been using 0.75mm cables with 0.78mm IEMs and vice-versa since forever. Everything works as it should and nothing has broken.

Ooh now that you mention it, it's interesting to try that out once I get my hands on one of the KZs0.75mm and 0.78 mm really doesn't make a difference. I can assure you that their manufacturing tolerances are not precise to 0.01 of an mm.

I can confirm the same, I always use 0.78mm 2Pin cables on all IEM's without any problems or anything braking0.75mm and 0.78 mm really doesn't make a difference. I can assure you that their manufacturing tolerances are not precise to 0.01 of an mm.

Could you perhaps tell us what cables you're using that are used interchangeably between 0.78mm & 0.75mm, and what are the IEMs that are able to do so0.75mm and 0.78 mm really doesn't make a difference. I can assure you that their manufacturing tolerances are not precise to 0.01 of an mm.

Thanks, this largely solved the problem. Now it's just getting used to their weird shape.The secret to getting a good fit with the BA10 is to chop the collar off of the eartip sizes you'll never use and use them as spacers. The collar will keep the eartip sitting near the end of the nozzle which keeps the BA10 corners from touching your ears.
Then make sure you have a great seal so you can hear that glorious bass.
All IEM's I have ever used that had 2 Pin conectors were used with 0.78mm, look at my signature for the list of my ex gear. The difference between the 0.78mm and 0.75mm is 0.03mm do you really think this width makes a real difference and would brake a connector?Could you perhaps tell us what cables you're using that are used interchangeably between 0.78mm & 0.75mm, and what are the IEMs that are able to do so

With chifi qc, It wouldn't be a surprise if those 0.75mm were actually 0.78mm lol.All IEM's I have ever used that had 2 Pin conectors were used with 0.78mm, look at my signature for the list of my ex gear.

I wouldn't be surprised if they would sell the same wire as 0.78 and 0.75 just for more profitsWith chifi qc, It wouldn't be a surprise if those 0.75mm were actually 0.78mm lol.

I bought two pairs of 0.75 and 0.78 TRN cables (2-pin and QDC) - no any differences I could detect visually or by trying with different IEMs.I wouldn't be surprised if they would sell the same wire as 0.78 and 0.75 just for more profits
On one of 0.78 cables, the metal connectors were sligtly spread apart to feel wider After connecting to 0.75 socket, they became normal
Also I happy to report that the plastic on new KZ QDC (paragraph C) connectors seems to be much better; before the plastic could crack easily, now in ASX it took quite a bit of change/usage without the problems.

I am now torn between 2 KZs, DQ6 and BA10. Both very much are in my sweet sonic zone but confused on which one should I bet on first. I've never had an all BA set although I've had a few multi-BA hybrids but few of them have steely timbre. I've got a bunch of DDs in my collection and I'm now sort of suffering from DD overkill But DQ6 impressions are too hard to ignore at the moment. Learned folks of the forum, please guide me.
I ordered the TRN BA5 as my first all-BA IEM. It's a bit cheaper than the BA10—in fact, I think you could buy both the BA5 and the DQ6 for the price of a BA10.I am now torn between 2 KZs, DQ6 and BA10.

It should be arriving tomorrow, so I'll give an update on my impressions once I get them.

Just got my zs10 pro and edx today. These are my first iems from kz. Surprisingly, zs10 pro is warmer than edx. I felt edx bass was more controlled than zs10 pro. Is it how it should be!!??? Of course I started listening an hour ago, maybe my impression will change after I go through enough of my collections.

I don't have EDX but ZS10 PRO slightly elevated bass indeed making the sound profile a tad warm.
With Final E eartips it offers more controll and solid punch bass, also works to tam the lower treble.
