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)

Great value for money, sound is really crisp and clear. These in ear phones are really comfortable. The only thing is missing is a piece of plastic to tighten the cable around my head when in use during shows, but it is easily solved.

Awesome! For studio use, perfect!

Love them

I have mixed feelings about these things. At first I really couldn’t tell if they were good or actual garbage. I have an iPad Pro 2018, with a “Mokin” brand usb hub thing, which gives me a 3.5mm audio output for my iPad (they don’t come with a built in audio out anymore). And when I listen to anything on my iPad using my giant headphones or even other earbuds, it sounds just like you would expect... clean and clear audio. But plug in these KB earbuds and instantly nothing sounds good at all. It’s full of static. Full of gnarling sounds like the way old dial up modems used to connect. And if I iPad screen with my finger, or run any app, I can hear the iPad “thinking”, with grunts and warbling and the sound of shredding metal. So naturally I thought these ear buds were beyond garbage. But then I plugged in my old ear buds and my old ear phones, and listened. Carefully listened. And shut doors, turned off fans, made my room super quiet, and listened again. And I could hear it. So faintly, but there it was. Grunting. Warbling. Shredding metal. Dial up modems. So faint I had never even noticed them before. But as soon as I plug in these KB earbuds, all those unwanted sounds strand out like a barking dog. And to be honest, it gives me mixed feelings about these things. They make my audio setup sound like absolute trash. Basically it’s forcing me to research into solutions to try to fix noises in my audio system that I previously didn’t even know were there, and at the expense of my pocketbook. All that said, I can’t tell you whether these KB earbuds are really just more “clear” and thus allowing me to hear noises I didn’t hear before simply because of the sheer level of clarity, OR, if these earbuds are somehow isolating the noises that you don’t want to hear and somehow amplifying them. You might expect me to favor option 1, and say it’s just clarify. But actually I kind of want to lean towards option 3. I actually think these earbuds are doing witchcraft. That being said, I must admit that there are a few things I dislike about these things. I genuinely hate the wires. They are squiggly. Set these things down for 1 second, and when you pick them back up again, it’ll take you 5 minutes to detangle. This means that every time I want to out these on it’s like putting on a space suit. It’s definitely a lot faster for me to put on my giant headphones than these. And one last con: I wish these things had a volume knob. Because these things only have one volume, and that’s “way the freak too loud”. If I plug these into my iPad, and turn down the volume of the iPad to the lowest tick (one tick away from “audio off”), even at that minimum volume these things are blasting loud, so loud I literally can’t push them into my ears, have to let them dangle loosely. Seems like I’ll absolutely need to buy a 3.5mm volume knob to attach to this, to let me turn it down more.

good Fit and Value

Im new to IEMs but upon opening this product and listening, I am blown away by the sound. They are LOUD and the bass is just a tad weaker than I like it, but overall I have no complaints about the the sound. While browsing my library of music, I can pick up subtle hints of things i was never able to hear with conventional headphones. Ive been wearing them for about 45 mins as I write this review and I have no ear fatigue or discomfort yet. I bought these to wear at work. I plan on wearing them for several hours at a time and they seem to be comfortable enough to do that. Keep in mind this is my initial experience just in the short time Ive owned them. As time progresses, Ill update as necessary, but for now....Im in love with them.

We moved to a new church where my wife is on the worship team. They offered here these headphones to try and she loved them. So far they have lasted over a year and no issues with 4 services a week.

So Ive had these a little over 3 weeks now and I am just blown away, what people come looking for with the AS10 is if it lives up to its stories. As far as clarity and seperation the as10 can easily immerse you into your music at a whole new level, now whats less apparent is the insane amount of control this thing has for bass. To really make it shine was listen to stuff like bass305. Holy moly the lows hit hard and fast. Bass head seal of approval. In my opinion as far as clarity goes, the kz as10 matches the clarity of open back planar magnetic headphones. TL;DR not a neutral IEM, this is a fun iem for bass addicts.

its like Im hearing all my songs remastered.

Pros: Comfortable. Good sound quality. Good packaging. Cons: Should come with a pouch for the price you pay. Mic placement should be higher There is no tightening clip to ensure the left and right wires are held in place. Update: I have been on a few calls now where I was told that my mic volume was low or that people could not hear me clearly That is unfortunate as I specifically purchased the KZ model with a mic option
