Product Description
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 Read More
What tips are you guys finding that fit the KZ’s. I just bought the BA10’s and they sound incredible but its very difficult to get a good seal. First IEM’S I ever had a difficult time with.
Its frustrating because the sound after maybe 10-15 hrs of burn in/play insounds smooth, detailed and goes as low or high as called for but the fit at least for me is extremely difficult to get right. Somebody please let me know what tips work for you folks.
KZ is a legit player now and making the high end iem manufacturers look shady. These would be over a grand a few years back, not just under a 100 dollars like today.
Shinraorg, I also have a pair of KZ ZS10 Pros, and wanted to upgrade to a FH5. I listen to a very broad variety of music. Anything from EDM to Classical. I would appreciate any input on whether or not it's worth it :D
Yames12The treble was so unbearable I wondered if I got a counterfeit unit (bought them on another site, not Massdrop). Tried 8 hours of burn-in, nothing changed. Unlistenable. I had a terrible and unexpected experience with the AS10 - I had a ZS5 and a ZS6 in the past, and they were actually okay.
maybe if you listen to all instrumentals. the non-existing mids just kills the experience of the vocals. alarm clock radio speakers sound significantly better. i am really trying to help people make a better choice. i spent $99 on some ibasso it01 and can't look back. yes, it is double the price but you do get what you want. so all in all, spend a little more than you intend to. i have a hard time seeing that it will break anyones bank. and if budget is really an issue, just save yourself the trouble and get the monks. its $8 with shipping and really that much better than this poor choice.
werekongI am not an audiophile by any means but for what it's worth and since I have both of them I figured to share a few thoughts here that you may find useful.
While I really like my TFZ exclusive 5 because of its punchy and tight bass good mids and a respectable highs and it's metal casting, I like the Bass control in AS10 better as it tight and powerful where it needs to be with out being muddy all over. Mids are nice and easy to follow yet discerning that you can follow the vocals and pick out instruments nicely.
The highs are not as sharp as TFZ5 but is just clear enough Not to make your flac audio sounds like a.m. radio .
While the sound preferances are quite subjective I found them to sound significantly better with comply foam or anything similar other than what is supplied, it makes huge difference.
ErshadSince my comment, I did buy the AS10. I haven't used them enough to make a good comparison to the TFZ exclusive 5 .........yet. However, the AS10 sound good to me and I don't regret buying them.
Currently (Sep 27, 2018) these are $47.59 at Gearbest.com. As with the ZS10s, the AS10s mids and highs are extremely detailed, localized, and precise. Also, the upper mids are loud/prominent (perhaps the same 4 upper BA drivers in both models). The bass is faster and tighter with the AS10s, and about equally deep and powerful with the same tips.
The AS10s sit deeper in the ear than the ZS10s, and they are also thinner. I'm not sure yet which one I prefer, as they are not terribly different. From a comfort standpoint I like the TRN V80s better than both--they are quite small and easily stay put. But, the V80s are not as detailed or clean.
beatronI don't know the name but if you put the ear phones in the search I sure it will come up on the same page some where. Just have a look around the same page as the earphones.
I got them from AliExpress and man, it’s incredible how far we have come. They sound really good. I love them. My current BA favorite is my A&K Roxanne II - and this little guy. The sound quality per buck ratio is off the charts.
Which tips are you using? I just ordered my second set after sending the first back and I’m missing them even though I have the DMG and V80. I don’t think I liked them with the foam tips I have but when I could get them to stay in the Sony Hybrid worked fairly well. They sounded very different after 60 hours of burn in. I think the upper mids relax and the lower mids come out a bit after the drivers get some hours on them.
Are these still enormously HUGE? I had the KZs10 but they were way to big to fit my ears properly & felt like they were stretching my ear holes apart. I had to gift them to a friend.
ArteckI had both the ZS10 and AS10 and I got a much better fit with the AS10. The ZS10 considerably larger, so much so that I can no longer get them to stay in my ears if I’m not pressing down on them. Standing up they stay in a little better but as soon as I sit down they pop out. Before I send my ZS10 back tomorrow I’ll measure them with my digital calipers and post my measurements. They are deffinately the largest of the ES4 and the AS10. Even Bag Guy Good Audio Reviews noticed this.
tinbillyThis would have been good a few years ago. Android comes with ldac support built in now, I'm on the lookout for an implemetation of that with a higer res codec. I like the idea, though, don't get me wrong. Just cant go backwards after my phone/btr3 started using ldac.
boot2skullI have them both and definitely prefer the AS10. I too felt the ZS6 was a little too bright on some music but got acclimated to them. Then I got the AS10s and they are more refined and balanced. The bass seems punchier as well. Overall I really like the AS10s.
