KZ AS10 IEM 5 Balanced Armature Driver Earphone, Stereo HiFi KZ in Ear Monitor Headphone Musician Headset with Detachable 2 Pin Cable(No Microphone, Black)

These IEM headsets are beautifully packaged and comfortable to wear but I found the sound harsh and tinny compared with my standard Shure 315s (of course, the KZs are much less expensive). Im keeping them as a backup pair but wasnt crazy about the sound. That said, a lot of orchestra musicians I work with use these and love them, so YMMV.

Close the other tabs and buy these monitors.

Sound Quality 10/10. Comfort 9/10. Noise Cancellation 7/10 - You have to make sure you have a good deal. The only flaw is the absence of in line volume control.

I am looking for in ears to use in a rock band setting. I am guessing that i will want good balance and articulation. Flat response is probably better than a scooped response or a big bass boost. I so far have tried 6 in ears. I found that the AS10s were too scooped and the highs got lost. So i returned them. The other units i tried were all KZ or Basn. Of the KZ models, the CCA c12s were awesome and at that price point ($50) easily the better choice. However, there is a lot to like about the Basn models. They are very classy looking and come with everything you need for in ears and a nice carrying case.

Great sound and great noise cancellation. After playing a couple times a week with them the cord seemed to give out and cause the sound to cut out randomly. Wish they would have later because sound quality was good.

Made in China and very poor quality.

I actually freaking love these IEM’s. I use them for church and the sound is so good. I just wish the ear buds came differently but really no biggie.

I love music. I listen to music every day. I also consider myself kind of a snob when it comes to music quality. I have way too many different kinds of earphones/earbuds in my possession. I have spent what I consider to be a ridiculous amount of money over the years on these things. Sometimes I feel like I made a good decision, most times not. Having said all that I absolutely feel that I have made an excellent choice in purchasing these earbuds. I am so impressed with the sound quality at this price point. I opened the box, plugged them into my fully loaded ipod classic and spent the past hour and a half in bliss. Every pair of earbuds/earphones I have all have a different sound signature. Each has its strength and weakness but I have a feeling that these will be my go to pair for some time now. They are (in my opinion) full, rich, crisp and beautifully partitioned. Im an older guy. I know my music and nothing makes me happier than finding something new in a song Ive heard a thousand times before. These earbuds did that. For the money I feel like theres no reason not to buy them. I hope that you have the same experience with them that I did. Thanks for reading my review.

dont bother

Pros: Good sound. Cons: No volume control.
