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)

I use these as my in ears each Sunday and I cant rave enough about these. As a drummer its so important to be able to “feel” the kick in your ears- this mostly comes from a “perfect” seal and I will say these are about 80% perfect seal. I upgraded the tips to memory foam tips and I also upgraded the cable to the HiFi Ear 16 core silver cable which absolutely increased sound quality and cable durability. I also bought a waterproof case to carry them in. Pros: Price!!! Bass in these roars Really high highs Mid range is decent From a sound standpoint these absolutely beat out Sure Se215 and 425s which I have used in the past Cons: Cable and ear tip upgrades are a must to truly utilize these A little on the bulkier side, it would be great if they were light weight Dont come with a case Im happy to use these each week, I never have to blast my mix due to the amazing quality these have.

perfect for all types of music not to bass heavy and not tinny

Update: upgraded rating to 5 stars from 4 I use these every week (for several months) for practice at home, rehearsal on Wednesday, and church service on Sunday. They are outstanding - worth every penny. Original review: These are amazing. I have been using a set of Shure SE215’s for about ten years playing church services. Love em and pretty happy with them, but saw a few reviews/videos of these and decided to try them. The AS10 blows me away. I love the sound and the fit and feel of these. The braided cable that comes with it is very nice and I don’t think it needs to be upgraded. I have not found tips that I like yet, the ones that came with the AS10 are still my favorite. I tried foam tips but didn’t like the feel no matter what size. So again - it’s great out of the box. My only minor complaint is that it lacks a case and it doesn’t have the little piece of rubber that snugs the wire up on the back of your head. I made my own using a rubber grommet from the hardware store. These are two relatively cheap additions that would have made this perfect.

I own $1500 Jh audio monitors ...after having these for a month ... I am now an idiot for spending that much ... these are stellar

Well I guess you get what you pay for lol. These won’t stay in your ears, the quality is sub par and sound is mediocre at best. Save up for some higher quality ones don’t waste time and money in these

Not working

I am really impressed by how I can actually hear all the frequencies, I have a pair of closed back over the ear AKG headphones that are $200 that these have a comparable frequency response. I haven’t had the chance to use them on stage, but I am expecting these to work better than the Shure IEMs that I used until the cable wore out. These have replaceable cables so that will never be a big issue

Didnt purchase here. I have bought kz zsn, ath m40x, m50x, dt 770 pro 80ohm, phillips shp9500, sony wh1000x, sony hear on 2, bose qc35 ii, anker liberty air and none can produce details like the as10 due to the 5 drivers on each side, the only ones that come close are the dt 770 and the m50x...REMEMBER TO PUT FOAM TIPS, ITS A MUST.

FIT WELL IN THE EARS AND DONT FALL OUT

They are the most comfortable KZs Ive tried but it seems lots of people say the opposite. They fit my ear perfectly and give fantastic isolation as a result, by far the most isolation out of the KZs Ive tried. Comfort is top notch, design is great, they really feel like IEMs, nice smooth corners and a professional look and feel. Unfortunately they really need a V2 and it will likely be the shape of KZs other updated models (like the ZS10 Pro) which I find very uncomfortable. Sound: TREBLE is great, one of the best KZ has, its subtle but very sensitive, you can hear everything in the treble range that there is but it isnt boosted to an unrealistic level. UPPER MIDS are fine but have a weird notch in them (large EQ shift covering a small range of frequencies) that changes the character of how a lot of things ought to sound - not good for critical work. The LOW MIDS also struggle with a general murkiness to the sound (poor separation and conflicting frequencies) and the volume is also boosted in this range. Typically this would be good for critical work but the lack of clarity in the low mid range is pretty bad. LOWS are boosted and a bit boomy, they arent realistically tuned but they can sound pretty good on the right source material. Overall Im disappointed in these. The fact that the consumer market is KZs R&D department is a bit to easy to see with these. The sound isnt tuned well but will likely be worked out in the future, the design is incredible...which will likely be worked out in the future and THEY STILL DONT COME WITH A CASE!!!!!! Dont worry though, you get a little laser etched plaque with the name on it in case you forget which they are. So many chifi brands doing this now. How about some different tips and a simple case and ship them in a ziploc bag instead?
