KZ ZS10 Pro X in Ear Monitor, Upgraded 4BA 1DD KZ Headphone Gaming Earbuds in Ear Earphone IEM with Alloy Faceplace Detachable Silver-Plated Recessed 0.75mm 2Pin Cable for Audiophile (Dark, No Mic)

I've read a lot of positive comments about these headphones so I though I'd take a punt and try them for myself. I've used them with my ekit for 2 gigs this weekend and everything sounded amazing. Really pleased I bought them. They're comfortable to wear too and the clarity is great. They definitely feel like good quality headphones.

Let's start off by saying these are my first pair of 10 driver IEMs, so far I like them. I prefer the sound signature with less bass. I listen to classical and jazz music and these really bring out the sounds that really matter in this kind of music.These things are really comfortable to listen for long periods of time. Paired with IfI Hip-Dac 3, they sound almost incredible. It makes them stand out a lot more and helps them sound a little warmer and increases the soundstage a little bit. I'm surprised I could drive these on the Hip-Dac 3.So far, I am happy with them. I think they sound nice and crisp. Remember, less bass doesn't mean they sound bad. I actually think they are more neutral. I really hope these last me longer than what most of the dual driver KZ IEMs did.Edit: When using these IEMs with Comply 500 Series Ear Tips + TechDefender, they tend to broaden the bass a little bit more and make the treble less harsh. It sounds a little more on the neutral side when using Comply Foam Tips. The memory foam tips themselves don't come with the IEMs so you will have to buy them yourself.

This is amazing product, going strong for 2 years.I would dare to say that they are my NS10 of "earbuds" .If you don't strike good balance of the high end, you will definitely hear on them, as well overly harsh transients.I would recommend this for everyone who works with the more natural or dynamic sounds 8-10lufs.Would definitely not recommend them for modern dubstep,metal or heavy dnb anything that is super compressed and in low dynamic range as theses IEM can cause early fatigue quite fast.(Yeah it is possible to turn them down... But sometimes you just need to listen loud)Best about them is that they have very well defined and punchy bass, but it lacks slightly in the sub region,Also they tend to sound more hollow compared to all of my other headphones which makes them perfect for dialing in the midrange and compression as you can hear more clearly the dynamics of the sounds wich is not washed out by the pulsing subs.Overall, great starter IEM... And still unbeatable at this particular price point!

__Final Update__one of the connectors has finally snapped today, so that ear connection is loose and fizzles in an out if i move... for well over a year of (quite heavy) daily use these lasted longer than pretty much any earphones ive had, RIP KZ ZS10 Pros (02/01/2022-28/05/2023)__Update__just over 5 months of (excessively) heavy use later and the grills covering the speakers (of both earbuds) fell out, not a big deal at the moment, sound doesnt seem to be noticably impacted (but im no audiophile)... according to google/internet randos this puts the more delicate mechanisms in danger of dust/eardebris... but honestly if that were the case with the grills in place then they werent doing a good job considering the putrescent collection of technicolour wax build up i found behind where the grills were so im skeptical of that claim... i still have the grills so i could stick them back in place i guess; i wont because im lazy... but i could... regardless the earphones themselves are still functional and we'll see for how much longer__Original review__first and foremost; ill be updating this if (or more likely; when) it breaks so you can get an idea of expected lifetimedue to slight concern over traction alopecia (balding; but i use the 'proper' term because im in denial) potentially caused by my beloved headphones (earcups connected by a headband) i had to downscale... problem is i keep breaking earphones; ive gone through 3 sets of cheap-midrange ones in the last couple of months, which put me in a difficult place of trying to work out whether it was my usage that was breaking them or if it was because they were cheap/bad build quality... fairly sure it was the cable that was the failure point on all of them so i was looking for earphones with a separate cable (not wireless; spoiler: paranoia)turns out 'IEM' was the magical keyword i needed... im still not exactly sure what the distinction between an IEM (in ear monitor) and an earphone is; apparently something to do with whether it rests on the outer ear or in your ear canal... but that seems fishy because ive had earphones that penetrate my sweet supple ears as deep as these ones... specifics aside apparently this audiophile term came with all the goodies i wanted+ Optional mic.... i cant comment on the quality of the mic; because as a paranoid SoB; i really didnt want one and thats surprisingly difficult to find nowadays+ Detachable cable; a 3.5mm to (2*) 0.75mm cable comes in the box... id heard bad things about this cable so i havent actually used it; i suspect those observations to be outdated or overblown though and i put that thing in my pocket, took it out, straightened it out, scrunched it up again and put it back into my pocket multiple times over a day (because what better do i have to do) and it didnt tangle any worse than pretty much any other cable ive had (well; less so because its only a meter or so long)... i think i made this clear earlier; but incase you jumped the shark; this is good because if the cable breaks you can just replace the cable; you can keep the IEMs/Earphones/whatever+ im no audiophile but the sound quality seems good... i will note that ive found myself getting irrationally angry at characters eating in movies and TV shows; rage which beforehand was reserved only for people eating in real life... so clearly theres some kind of cursed sound fidelity that even my beloved headphones didnt give mei did have a week or so thinking they had a tendency to fall out; that was just me being a big dumbo though... when you connect the wire to the earpiece dont connect it in a 'C' shape, connect it into a '5' or 'S' shape... i assume most people wont have this problem because theres literally a picture of how to connect the cable on this page; but on the offchance you too majored in clownery then heres your fix

I had seen lots of videos about using IEMs for gaming on console. I was sceptical but did my research and got these because they seemed to fit within my price bracket. I already have a good rode usb mic for my PC so just use that. The sound quality was just fantastic compared to all headsets I had previously owned within the same price bracket. The sound is so clear and crisp with a great bass sound. I had to turn down the default sound setting and make a few adjustments to get them sounding how I wanted. The quality is just great. So glad I went for this option.Remember that the inclusive mic options are ok it is advised to get an external separate mic.
