KZ AS10 IEM

From KZ, a company that’s made a name for itself with its shockingly inexpensive multiple-driver IEMs, the AS10 represents a push into a higher tier. It features five balanced-armature drivers arranged in a layout to separately handle low frequencies, mid frequencies, high frequencies, and mid and high frequencies. Complete with a removable cable, the AS10 has a 0.75-millimeter connector that allows for many commonly available cables to be used. KZ has conducted more than 10,000 plug-in tests to ensure the durability of the connectors is maintained when cables are plugged in and out. 

Head-Fi user B9Scrambler gives this in-ear monitor 4.5 out of 5 stars, saying, “The AS10 just adds to this already teeming lineup, but stands out as something truly new, different, and extremely capable. Sure, it's not as refined as other earphones crammed with balanced armatures, but it's also a fraction of the price. And unlike some other KZ products (ZS5, anyone?), doesn't feel like we're beta testing it for them. It looks great, sounds amazing, and is more than enough earphone for most while retaining an affordable price.”
