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 used these this morning, playing the drums for worship service. Wow, what a great deal for getting into the multiple driver IEM world! I think it will depend on what monitors you are coming from (my M6 pros are still wonderful monitors) but these are better than what I was using. I could hear everyone very clearly, with plenty of lows and mids and vocals in the mix. The click was nice and I was able to turn my limiter down tremendously which helps with the obnoxious over the top loud click. I was a little worried about the fit even tho I have average size ears but was pleasantly surprised how nice these feel. My wife has small ears so she said she wouldn’t like them but she prefers the smaller M6 model of ears anyway. TRN V80 May be the way to go if your looking for a smaller fit however, I can not speak about the quality of sound as I don’t have these. I do recommend getting a replacement pair of foam tips. If you don’t know the size for you just get the small medium and large 5mm set and try them all to see what fits best. Like all reviews the only downside to the KZ AS10’s I found was that the cord does not have a piece to slide up and keep the cord close to your head. I found because of this the cord tried a few times to come over the top of my ear. Not a major issue because the monitors stayed in nicely. Overall these are a great value! Wonderful product and great for the price. I wouldn’t pay hundreds of dollars for monitors anyway so finding these with multiple drivers for under $100 was great. I hope this helps someone make their decision. I read and watched countless reviews and am happy and pleased with my purchase! God bless!

These things are awesome. I’m a church drummer who wanted an improvement from the shure 215’s. I thought I’d have to pay big money for an upgrade. I actually paid way less. These things are awesome!

Returned cause cords broke so easily

Very good In Ears system

Awesome IEM. I own a pair of Shure SE 535 and these things sound as good, maybe even better. I only paid a fraction of what I paid for my Shures.

Great bang for the money. Had a brand name set that worked well but our guitarist let me use these one set and it was completely different. There were sounds I hadn’t heard before. Added a set of memory foam ear plugs and they are so comfortable and keep outside noise out.

I love the product. From the quality of the sound the the material.

I had no experience with in ear studio monitors (IEM) before this; my arsenal consists of airpods, apple earphones, random other earphones, Sennheiser 558, some experience with some Yamaha studio monitor speakers, and Sennheiser HD650s. So my initial impression was just ew! But I replaced the tips with Comply t500 tips, and I fell in love with them. However, be aware, they have a very clinical sound, very dry and grey, but quite detailed, at least compared with my arsenal at the time. Kind of like a dry scientific paper that replicated previous findings, as opposed to an award winning fictional novel. Or military rations as opposed to a chefs choice dinner. These are for the black coffee drinkers, the grey 2004 Toyota Sentra base model drivers who oil their car every winter, and use an exclusively black-and-white laser printer at home. I know, it sounds like these are not enjoyable per se, but they can be with the attitude that you are critically listening, or analyzing the sound, as opposed to enjoying an artistic piece for aesthetic pleasure. Hence, these definitely need some burn-in time. For myself, a few days was enough. These AS10s have been my daily driver for the past few weeks, and I have found them fantastic for commuting with the Comply tips mentioned above; good sound isolation. These got me interested enough in critical listening and detailed sound to buy some Shure SE846s; unfortunately I sent them back due to some problems with the order. Nevertheless, of course in comparison, the KZ AS10s lacked any hint of sparkly treble or mind-altering bass. However, the detail is there if you look for it, and the bass is controlled, calm, and is there as well. I now have some Ikko OH10s, and they follow a similar sound signature IMO, with added bass/sub-bass and soundscape in comparison to the AS10s. I do miss the SE846s; but if you can live without the aesthetic bass/sub-bass and sparkly treble, these are overall fantastic IEMs, and I am convinced that one can compose fantastic music or analyze music critically with these IEMs alone without need for upgrade. If you like these but want just a tad more detail, fantastic soundscape, and proper bass/sub-bass for ~$170 more, my initial (<1h) impression of the Ikko OH10s would be as an upgrade to AS10 along these dimensions. Have fun on your journey/research for your endgame IEMs :)!

Presentation of the KZ AS10: the box differs from earlier KZ models, the AS10 comes in a sober, elegant black cardboard box with the KZ logo and winged top, in which the IEM’s are placed in a hard foam support and labeled Left and Right, with a classy engraved plate with the KZ logo and the model description. The unboxing is pleasant The foam plate can be easily lifted with the attached black ribbon, underneath the foam plate 2 plastic bags containing the silicone tips (3 pairs in total, S-M-L , the IEM’s come with the Medium size tips attached), and the cable. Also included are the manual, warranty card and a small certificate of authenticity. The braided cable feels better compared to earlier KZ models, is not sticky, is flexible and have a good feeling to the touch, is clearly marked L and R at the plugs, 3.5 stereo L bending jack, contacts and jack are gold plated, the cable is about 120 cm in length, the KZ .75 mm 2 pin plugs connect seamlessly and easy to the AS10 IEM’s socket. The cable have a memory wire next to the 2 pin connectors covered in a transparent tube, the memory wire make a perfect fit to any shape of ears and help to keep the AS10 IEM’s in place. The shells of the AS10 are light weight, a little bit smaller compared to other KZ similar models, the nozzle maybe a little bit longer, what in my opinion make the KZ AS10 more comfortable to wear for longer times, shells are made from durable plastic, well put together, clean, without signs of glue spills, I got the black color model which have a translucent front and a black back, engraved with the model number and left and right marks. Isolation in this KZ model is also better than earlier models, and sound leak is lower than other IEM’s. When it comes to sound, is slightly V shaped, Highs are detailed, not piercing, maybe a little rolled-off, but without affecting the overall clarity, Mids are in the warm side, a little lower than neutral, female and male voices sound clean and crisp, Low ranges are well balanced and punchy with no distortion and don’t overpower the overall sound of the music and voices. Soundstage is wide and natural with good definition and separation of instruments were details are clear and defined. As always the appreciation of the sound quality of earphones is subjective and related to personal taste, I recommend to hear good quality recordings. I tried them with diverse musical genres with optimal result, my favorites are usually classical, percussion, electronic, jazz and vocals depending of the mood of the day. No distortion or muddiness was noticed. The KZ AS10 IEM’s sound good since I first tried, being a low impedance IEM’s they sound great with smartphones as well as music players. I used the AS10 with the desktop and laptop computers getting an excellent result in sound quality, this IEM’s also have an amazing volume level, I used them with Samsung, Nokia and iPhone smartphones and Mp3 players. In low quality recordings I used the help of equalizer to balance the sound, and it was well accepted by the AS10. Also watching a movie in the computer or tablet with the AS10 give me the sensation of being in a movie theater with a good surround sound system. As conclusion I can say that the AS10 is ahead of previous KZ models,with an clear and balanced sound and they can compare to more expensive IEM’s but having an affordable price, they are quality built and nice looking. I consider the KZ AS10 a must in any audiophile collection because of their capability to reproduce Hi-Fi sound. I am very pleased and surprized with the AS10 performance and comfortable wear. Because all the above-mentioned, I rate the KINBOOFI KZ AS10 with 5 stars

Great sound for the price. Up there with the very expensive options. Great for singers and musicians.
