Linsoul KZ ZS10 Pro, 4BA+1DD 5 Driver in Ear Monitor, HiFi Wired Earbuds, Gaming Earbuds, Hybrid IEM Earphones with Stainless Steel Faceplate, Detachable Cable for Musician(with Mic, Black)

UPDATE:So after a few days of messing around with diff types of music, these really broke in beautifully. bass comes through really discreetly(much more at lower levels) and I completed a thorough sound test for these, starting at 20Hz and ending at 20kHz. they really pick up that bass rumble at around the 30-40hz mark, drop off volume a little bit at the mids, and then finishes strong all the way to 10-15kHz. amazing range for such lil buds.NOTE:If you’re using the cable that came with these, do yourself a favor and get yourself some upgrade IEM cables, any braided foiled coil will do, but the better the better. When you pay for these buds, every dollar goes into the quality of the headphones, the cables are just simply so you can use them out the box, but the sound quality you get from upgrade cables is truly what makes the headphones shine to their fullest potential.I actually put in a return on these headphones to exchange them for the newest version: KZ ZS12 Pro X which i just received. It’s bittersweet because i grew to love the KZ ZS10s so much, and only had them for a week.I have never had a pair of headphones/earbuds that could isolate every instrument in a song to sound so distinct and intentionally.I’m on a journey to elevate my listening experience, one pair at a time.As someone who thoroughly enjoys acoustic music these are amazing at capturing all the tones of a guitar, and vocals, snare, and all the twinkly star fairy noises you could imagine. ^_^After thoroughly breaking them in, they are just evenly balanced. they have plenty of balance, and the bass you get from them is clean and full bodied. when doing a 30-40hz bass test these just blew me out of my seat. I think the sad part is most music apps don’t allow you to truly equalize the music how you desire. That’s why I bought the kz12s cuz they come with tuning switches and i can boost my bass +3 decibels :)For 50$, knowing this is the lower/middle ranged price point for casual listening, i’m fully impressed at the punch these IEMs can pack.One thing to note, if the buds are too small for your ear, you will miss out on some bass. Try the next size up, they should create a type of seal/suction with your ear when you go to take them out. This is one of the cases where the more you use the buds the better the seal. The wax from your ear helps create that (esp new ones or newly clean ones). The natural oils from your skin allow the buds to stick in seamlessly which will enhance the bass sound.Anyway, these are wonderful. 💜

I stumbled upon the KZ ZS10 Pro, as I saw a review of this brand on YouTube. In addition, I saw several different models, which various reviewers showed. I was surprised to hear about how great this brand was. Previously, I had never heard of KZ before. Not to mention, I was shocked by the price tag. I was also impressed by the presentation AND the specifications. I figured I would give these a try.DESIGN/FEATURES: The ZS10 Pro has 10mm double magnetic drivers, which is large for IEMs. The frequency response is 7-40,000hz, which is Hi-Res Audio. That is impressive, as most IEMs, earbuds, and some headphones are 20-20hz. Surprisingly, most headphones or sets do not have that kind of frequency response, such as 40,000hz. The sensitivity is 111 dB with an impedance of 30 ohms, which is high for such a small device. The ZS10 Pro comes with 10 (5x2) hybrid drivers, two 30095 BA (Balanced Armature) Drivers for high frequency. Then, two 50060 drivers for mid frequencies and a DD (Dual-Driver) for low frequency. The ZSX housing is made of zinc alloy. The ZS10 Pro housing has a shiny, mirror-like, 304 stainless steel faceplate. However, it is a fingerprint magnet. The body is made of a semi-transparent resin, which is clear enough for the driver and the “guts” to be seen. Included are four additional and interchangeable ear tips. The ear tips are made of silicone. There are medium ear tips on the IEMs by default. The ear tips fit snug inside my ears, along with the support of the OFC cable, covered by plastic, which can wrap around the ear. No worry about them slipping out.The bronze OFC cable is high-quality and detachable. There is a Y-splitter, which is made of rubber. Also, there are angled, gold-plated, 0.75mm IEM pin connections within a transparent resin. By default, the IEM connectors are not attached to the earpieces. Therefore, they will have to be installed. This can be tricky. I found out the hard way. I figured it out, however. First, look on the side of the transparent resin of IEM connectors for the L and R. However, the letters can be a bit hard to see because it is etched in a transparent material. Anyhow, make sure the L or R is facing outward. The R will be the cable with the mic. Then, connect the earpiece to the IEM connectors. The faceplate should also be facing outward. The ear tips should be at the bottom, facing the ear. Now, they will ready to listen to, properly.BASS/MID-BASS/SUB-BASS: Wow! I have never heard a more fun sound device. The bass of the ZS10 Pro is second-to-none. The bass is aggressive, clean, controlled, deep, fast, thunderous, tight, and very, VERY punchy. The punchiness of the bass is like hearing boxing gloves against a punching bag. Despite that, the bass remains clear, so it does not bleed into the mids. The bass is not muddy, either. Out of curiosity, I tested the performance of the ZS10 Pro while playing various shooters on PS4 Pro. The first test was done while playing Call Of Duty WWIII played. The most impressive thing was hearing how loud and clear the explosions were, nearby. Once, I used a Glide Bomb killstreak, which landed on top of an enemy close to my position. All I could hear was a loud and clean boom with a thunderous, sub-bass rumble. Hearing multiple explosions is heavenly to the ears. Once, a teammate used an Artillery Barrage killstreak. I was in awe of how the explosions of those artillery rounds landing on the ground, gave a surprisingly, clean, loud, and punchy, boom. The aftermath of the explosion made a nice, thunderous rumble. In other words, the sound is similar to the sound of a subwoofer.HIGHS/MIDS: The sound is bright and unbelievably superb. Sounds are crystal clear, clean and VERY balanced, overall. The treble highs are nice. No distortion. Very little sibilance on those high sounds. Playing Call Of Duty Black Ops 4 is a good test. Gunshots are loud but clear. Each time bullets hit, there a slapping sound, which follows with a loud, SQUISH, when a kill is achieved. I found having the volume high while hearing this sound can be harsh of the ears. Of course, not so much, with the volume at a normal level. Hearing the high end of female voices sound great. Hearing the female voices from characters in WWII was one thing. Hearing them on Call Of Duty Black Ops 4 is another. Hearing my character, Battery’s voice lines sound great. “Cluster grenade, enjoy!” “Splash!” “Dropped!” “All right, boom time.” “All talk!” “Doggone!” Those are some of my favorites voice lines. Once, Battery ran inside of an open-ended bay of the Summit map. Battery said a voice line, while outside of the bay. Then, her voice became magnified, as she entered the bay. Plus, there was an echo of Battery's voice. The authenticity of the echo was unbelievable and nearly, scary. This was a good example of a transition between mid to high sounds.IMAGING/SOUNDSTAGE: The ZS10 Pro has good imaging and soundstage. These handle directional sounds, exceptionally well. During matches, I could still, hear the dialogue of nearby teammates shouting out the location of enemies, and other random sounds, throughout the map to the left and right of me with precision and clarity. I knew what was going on around me and where the action was taking place on the map. It seems the sound magnifies when sounds are going on in a different direction. For example, each time my character looks in one direction, the sound increasingly amplifies in the direction, where things are going on, such as gunfire and explosions. Of course, I would hear less, where fewer actions were taking place. If my character, looks straight ahead, all sounds can be heard, equally.LOWS: The lows are great, as they pick up subtle sounds with no effort. I am hearing sounds, which I could barely hear with other headphones, such as the breaking of glass from afar, breakage of pottery, or bullet casings hitting the floor. Then, there are detailed sounds, such as the unbelievable sound of crunching, as my character was trampling through the deep snow, cracking of the ice or sounds of moving water, while swimming on the Icebreaker map. Of course, I am sure, some are wondering about footsteps. Well, the ZSX, picks up footsteps on Call Of Duty, quite nicely. There have been times, where I was able to hear footsteps of enemies coming after me. Then, as they got close, I was able to get in a good position to get the drop on them.MIC: The speaker for the mic is underneath a plastic, one-button remote. On PSN, I did a test for the adjust mic settings. I could hear my voice, crystal clear. During gameplay, my voice could be heard clearly.VERDICT: I am in awe of how great these sound. Considering these are Hi-Res, the price is not too bad. Not to mention, they can perform with some top headphones out there. Great for music and surprisingly, good for gaming.
