Hey Paul, sorry for not leaving my experience with you, because I have been testing with various circumstances. I brought this at headphone zone for 3.9K with a deal, seven days return time is not enough to judge the real audio experience. After burning it for continuous 50+ hours, I understood the real potential of these earbuds. Comfort: Yes keeping them under ears are little pain until you're getting settled with it. It will take at least an week to understand your comfort. Audio Quality: Yes I always listen with Hi-Res Audio tracks and I can able to enjoy every bits of details with this earbuds. In my experience, I always want to tune the earbuds for my way of listening with equalizer, this is the only earbuds where I turned off the equalizer. Yes Bass is little bit weaker until you're tunning it with your equalizers, once you turn on the bass the dynamic drivers takes care of everything you want. Highs and mids are really good and nothing is there to compliant, in fact those are biggest strength of these earbuds. Because of these setup I can able to listen all the tracks separately and able to enjoy it. Price: Yes I felt I have paid 1000rs extra from my packet, even though I have brought it for 3.9K, but due to the sound signature it provides I'm not brothered about it. Cons: I brought with MIC Setup for calls, but the mic is not picking up the voice when it falls down under the neckline, you have to lift the mic manually near to your mouth. One of the irritating issue. When mic is near to mouth people are not complaining anything. It giving complete isolation, yes it's not cons for everyone, but for me. In case if you're using it for walking for jogging on streets please be careful and take opposite way rather than left.
Here's a great review also! Thanks for sharin Amarnath. Any idea if the Bluetooth modules also have built in microphones? Or do you only get a mic with a cable. If they mount a mic nearer the ear on the module that should pick up your voice better than this cable which gets tucked under your chin. Then again, I don't think KZ is really investing itself in microphones or their quality, it seems more like their primary concern is audio which is nice to see.
@@PaulsPOV I have a larger IEM stable since I got those .. Highlights, I’ve got Moondrop Aria, KATO, Olina, OH10’s, Crin’s Midnight, and just got the S12. All preferably being driven my my IFI Go Blue in balanced 🔥 Great review 👍
@@PaulsPOV Thanks ..next purchases is probably going to be the IFI Gryphon amp/ DAC.🔥 I’m considering the Moondrop Variations, TRI Starlight 4 or the Nanas 2.0 as my end game IEM’s. Stuff on the level of the U12T is nice ..but a budget buster. Hope you have a great music filled week. Take care.☕️
Excellent review as always Paul sir👏 I have been thinking about getting these vs the CCA CRA which are very hyped in the audiophile community as the best V-shaped signature under 50 dollars, I hope you try them too, they cost around 1700. Also I would like to tell about KZ's situation, idk if you're aware about this but they are Kindda in deep water for thier scam, the balance armatures don't produce sound(or are damped to nothingness) and are just for show and they apparently did this to increase the driver count which is false marketing which makes me skeptical about KZ products now.
That's pretty sad to hear if its true. Aren't CCA and KZ Acoustics owned by the same company? That would make me skeptical about CCA too in that case. I heard a pair of CCA C10Pro's at the Headphone Connect event and quite liked them with the silver cable.
@@PaulsPOV Yup, I forgot to mention that. CCA is the sister brand of KZ, but CCA doesn't have such controversy, maybe people haven't ripped apart their CCAs. All of thier iems sound really good but all work is done by the single driver, the balance armatures are for show. The only reason to not buy them would be if the person cares about these things cuz they sound great nevertheless, some people might feel cheated that they aren't getting what they paid for even though the product is excellent.
Honestly, even if the BA drivers weren't working for these during my review, they have way more to offer on a sound front than any TWS earphones in this price range. Let me know how your CCA's sound once you get em, I'd like to know what their characteristics are like.
Video clears all my doubts and I am convinced to buy this … the only concern …is it good to buy 2 year old iem now?? … don’t we have any better iem with slight improvements in the same price range ???
Considering it's been in the market for as long as it has, I haven't heard many complaints about it. There was some talk about it when it was new, but I'm sure the fresh sets coming out now won't have the old issues. But yea, I'm sure there are other good IEMs out there in the same price range, but I haven't tested them yet so can't really comment on them. But I do know I quite liked these.
I have cca cra, blon bl03, kz zstx, kz zs10 pro and zs10 pro is very versatile as compared to my other iem and forget about kz controversy, trust your ears and enjoy the sound. One suggestion from my side, just buy kz az09 pro bluetooth adaptor and use it with kz zs10 pro and of possible compare it with your favourite tws, you will definately be surprised
Wow, that's quite the collection of earphones you have there! I've taken a bit longer than I should have with this review because I was spending a lot of time enjoying listening to these. They're quite something really.
Hey man, i just got ZEX pro, and i wasn't satisfied with them. I am not a bass head but still it's not upto the mark. What would be the best iem under 6000 ?
I've not tested too many IEMs in this price range. Just these ZS 10 Pros, then the Aria's which are a little over your budget and recently IEMs under Rs.2500. The few I heard which I found fuller sounding were the ZSN Pro X, Bonus IE and Blon BL03. Feel free to give my reviews on them a look if you'd like to.
Can please suggest me good iem i used the sony 2k range earphones earlier i want to try the iem but the problem is in the iem category so much of confusion budget around 4k to 3.5k
Hey, nice content. But im really so confused between which tws is best for me, im really into music, i want okayish anc, it should have mic quality and comfort is priority too. Please recommend me some good pairs between 5k to 10k.
My favorites have been the Nothings over the others available in the market right now. Then again I havent reviewed every since set of earphones available today. Feel free to give my reviews a look, hope they help you make a decision.
Hello Paul my friend 🙂! You know I like your channel a lot but since I've been in contact with the Earfun Free Pro One and Two and the experiences with these TWE`s with different settings for your personal in ear configuration I know for my self that the most of us will have a different sound experience because of our different earcanal length. My personal earcanal resonance is around at 7200hz, many of the other people are at 6500Hz or 6000Hz. This is so important you would never expect that! This means, all your fine descriptions of the sound can only fit too all, that have the same earcanal length or resonance frequency like you have. Believe me, Oluv the man behind that has his resonance at 6000Hz. The setting for his ears sound horrible too me. If we both have not the same earcanal resonance frequency we will definitely hear the sound extremely different.
Hi Matthias, yes you've mentioned these before. I wanted to get my hands on them but I have a feeling the sets we are getting here are some knock off product. All the Amazon reviews have people with broken earphones within a few weeks of use and there's no warranty here as well, especially if it's a knock off. I had a look at Oluv's review, they seem really interesting. Need to see how I can get a genuine set.
These KZ IEMs fitting is so so so comfortable in my ears.. using KZ ZSN Pro. Can you please suggest TWS that can compete the level of comfort and sound of these? tried jabra 65T, nothing ear(1), they were good but caused pain in ears within a few mins.. no budget issue but should be worth every penny
I dont think any TWS I've tested so far can stand upto these when it comes to their sound honestly. I like the Nothings for sure, but my primary want from any earphones is their sound over features any day. Perhaps I could compare the KZ to the Nothings just for reference.
Just buy kz az09 pro bluetooth adaptor and kz zs10 pro and whole combo will cost you around 7k but you will love every bit of it and you will not need any tws for sound quality or comfort but if you ear size is small then comfort may vary but if you have tried kz iem already then the combo i have suggested is one of the best.
Hi Shivam, I've not heard too many IEMs in that range, only these ZS 10 Pros and the Moondrop Arias, but those cost a bit more. I quite liked these ZS10Pros. They're terrific for the price but if you're using the ZSN Pro, I'd say you've got a really nice set of IEMs already. If you do go for the ZS10Pro, you'll have diminishing returns on them, perhaps slightly better imaging, stage and over all delivery will be a bit better than your current set.
@@PaulsPOV just one more question. I can stretch my budget for arias .. but is it worth it i mean kzs more driver n all.. can arias overperformed them as it has 1 driver only. I can spend 8k just want worth every penny product..I m going to use these in my lg smartphone which has a good dac.
That's an interesting question Shivam. If you consider the KZ ZS10 Pro to the Aria, you do get more drivers with the KZ which are dedicated to handling different frequencies putting a lesser load on each driver. Usually this is beneficial for over all sound delivery. I do remember quite liking the ZS10 Pro and remember it being soft in its delivery which i quite liked BUT it's worthwhile knowing that there has been some conspiracy looming around them because of driver failure over time or sometimes even some drivers not working at all. The Arias do have the one driver and do well so really it boils down to deciding if you want to try out BA drivers and dynamic drivers together or just the one dynamic driver with the Aria. Personally, the ZS10 Pro left more of a lasting effect on me than the Aria. Not that the Aria is a slouch, I just liked how KZ tuned their BA drivers with the dynamic driver and it was the first time I ever heard BA's. The Arias sounded kind of familiar since I've heard dynamics for so long. If you have a good DAC in ur LG phone, there's no need to pick up a dongle DAC AMP. I would have reccomended one if you found your DAC AMP lacking but it seems you're happy with it.
I haven't tested it so I don't want to give you any wrong information, but from what I've heard between the KZ ZSN and the ZSN ProX, I prefer the ProX variant.
