I want to buy an iem but I'm not sure I have the willpower to not go down the rabbit hole. I would be looking for the best sound quality to cost ratio or should I say best sound for the cheapest price! The thinness in the midrange and fatiguing treble is off putting in these. My treble hearing is rolled off but I still can be bothered by a spicy treble.
The AS10 Pro is definitely not a good first IEM. Its pretty specific. I mean how much money would you be willing to pay? Something like the new KZ Vader/CCA Trio which is a classic enjoyable V-shape would be a good starting point below 50€.
@@absolutelyaverageaudioreviews Probably about £50. I'll look into that iem. I would prefer a neutral sound signature with the mids as the strong point. Any that sound like a HD600? 😬
Mhhh, the new TRN ST7 is more midrange-focused than other IEMs and maybe sounds like a somewhat thicker HD600. Difficult to compare the sound of an over ear to an IEM. Otherwise the Truthear Hexa is always a good and pretty neutral IEM. The Dunu Titan S2 will be released soon and from what I could gather seems to be nicely balanced, so that could be a choice too (although around 80€ when it will be released).
The AS10 Pro is MUCH brighter. The Red has a far more balanced sound. Better low bass. Realer sounding midrange (AS can sound thin and over the top with female vocals). The AS10 Pro does really well with separation and detail though. Its a pretty specialized IEM I guess.
Hello Bro Please rank #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 which iem you like the best for watching various genre movies & videos on RU-vid and give me Valid Reasons ✅ KZ Vader Hi Res ✅ KZ Vader Balanced ✅ KZ AS10 Pro => The Newest IEM from KZ ✅ CCA Trio ✅ KZ ZS10 Pro2 Thank you Bro 🙏👍😁
For movies I think the Vader balanced and the Trio would be the best choice. They are very similar and have a pretty good V-shaped tuning with enough bass and clarity for movies and their soundtracks. Second maybe the ZS10 Pro 2, although I do not like it that much for music. Its still fairly well balanced and again has enough bass, especially with the switches. Maybe somewhat more clarity with dialog, which is not always preferable with movies because you usually want to have more "wow" with effects and stuff. The AS10 Pro can have an overly clean sound which can make voices/dialog sound quite harsh and all around kinda flat when it comes to effects. Although it is very technical, which can be cool for music. Would not recommend it for movies. Never listened to the Vader Hi-res.
@@rudecatror AS10 Pro is a pretty specialized IEM, very bright and detailed. Can easily sound thin and harsh with female vocals for example. If you value clarity above all, these are worth a try. I thought they sounded interesting and were not as fatiguing as I thought, but nothing I would use regularly. The ZS10 Pro 2 is more balanced, should work for most genres. I do have to say I did not like them because the midrange was somewhat weird sounding, but they get good reviews from other listeners too. Nice bass though. You could also take a look at the Tangzu Fudu (warm sounding, like it alot) or the Simgot EA500LM (detailed and clean, but more balanced than the AS10 Pro) and I recently listened to and really liked the TRN ST7, which does have a bit softer and smooth bass (so it does not hit that hard, sounds more full) and sounds so nice with many genres. Also the KZ Vader is in the same price range. Good V-shape and "consumerish" tuning, nice bass and not too much treble.
@@absolutelyaverageaudioreviews right on, thinking mainly for monitoring and performance - maybe the more balanced options as you’ve said. I’ll look into those, thank you
