Review on 🎧 KZ ZS10 HiFi IEM Earbuds, Five Driver In-Ear Headphones Monitors Earphones (Black) - No Mic by Athenasby Whitney

+ Fuller sound than cheaper models + Deeper/richer bass (not muddy) + Modular design / Detachable cable + Comfort (with upgraded foam ear tips) + Price (especially when compared to competing brands) - Included accessories do not Doesn't work well for me, YMMV - Cable tends to tangle - Cable noise if you move it too much - Slightly less noise isolation than my ER4-XRs (which cost 5x more) I'm a bit of an audio geek and very particular through my headphones. I first tried their $20 dual-driver version at the sound engineer's recommendation. It was ok but he told me he had heard good things about this model being much better so I gave it a try. That's the difference between day and night. I had never heard of this brand before. I'm not really a brand snob - if I can find something that works and lasts well then I'll take it - real experience means more to me than the name printed on it - at least for a product like this. Yes, they're more than twice the price of the dual-driver model, but it's worth it. The bass is much richer and fuller and doesn't sound muddy at all. The headphones look nice (I like the clear blue plastic) and the rubberized cable feels less flimsy than others I've used. It's definitely a different feel and it took me a while to figure out how to position the cable/drivers to fit my ears properly. Tips for Beginners: 1 - Look at each earbud with the speaker hole facing you. 2 - Find the letter "L" or "R" printed on the plastic (look for the correct position - the connector with the holes for connecting the cable is facing forward). 4 - Remove the earpiece from your ear and attach the cable on the right side (if your cable has a microphone, that side goes to the right) - attached with 2 pins on the cable that fit into 2 holes in the actuator - the direction is not important except the right direction of the cable5 - you will make sure the cable is connected properly when you can insert the earphone into your ear with a " thick part of the cable so that it rises and over the back of the ear. 6 - Repeat the same process with the left side of the TX-500 (models/parts) They work much better for me than the included rubber tips - several sizes of which are included). I also have a cord with a mic in it - nice to have when using it with my phone and also makes it easier to tell left and right without too much trouble. The cable with microphone also has a built-in control button (for play/pause on phones, etc.). Overall I'm very happy with them and would recommend them to anyone who wants good, durable headphones or headphones. . I can be rough with my headphones and it's usually the cable that fails first. If a cable is stuck to the headphones, it means you need to buy new headphones. In this case, however, you can simply change the cable and you're done. I had a broken cable on my etymotic ER4-XRs, and while it's also modular, a cable just for them costs almost as much as these. As is usual with in-ear headphones, you can hear the noise of the cable when you move it, as the vibrations are transmitted to the headphones. I still love my Etymotics but these are now my favorite pair for everyday wear.
