  AS10 IEM’s, the very best from KZ, amazing clear sound

  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 pleasantThe 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 starsVer másVer menos

  UPDATED UPDATE....

  UPDATE to my UPDATE: I was so tempted to delete my first update... or this whole thing and start over out of pure embarrassment. I'm a professional and know sound, but apparently not my new laptop so much *insert eyeroll*. In short, since this whole review is far too long, I again stand by my original review on the 1st of 3 pairs of KZ AS10's; Incredible pair of iems. The 2nd pair, there was definitely something wrong with them. On stage and off there was a notable problem. The 3rd pair, I have admittedly not tried on stage yet (just got them today). I only plugged them into my newer laptop, and turned on Spotify. Although they were better than the damaged 2nd pair, something still wasn't right as I said. Something in the back of my brain was not sitting right with this however. I knew that my iems and other headphones I own could only be as good as limitations of the device they are operating from. Nothing I plugged into this laptop seemed to sound good. Didn't make sense. Its a new gaming ASUS FX705 laptop. The sound capabilities are going to better than others (one of the reasons I purchased it; for recording purposes). I fished, searched, Googled... and finally found it. Opened up the DTS HeadphoneX EQ and BOOM!!!! I jumped (iems were in my ears with music playing). Daaaang, now THAT's what I remember from the original pair of AS10 I bought! Superior stuff right there, y'all. So relieved. Let this be a lesson -- Your iems can only work their full potential if what you have them plugged into allows it. Now go plug these into something awesome and dance a little :)UPDATE: I stand by my original review of the (red) KZ A10's I purchased. Only problem is that I sold them to another musician because I decided I wanted the green color. No big deal, I thought. Sold them in about 5 minutes of posting, and purchased the new exact same pair in the green color. Received them quickly, plugged them in... but something wasn't right. That new pair seemed off and not as full as the pair I had just sold and used. I thought maybe I had gotten use to the first pair being completely burned in. so I burned the new pair in, used them on stage a few times, and finally had it. I took 'em home, plugged into my laptop and flipped on Spotify and realized the bass was not only missing as I suspected, but the top end was "raping my ears", as another reviewer so eloquently stated. I hoped that something was just defective with this pair, and sent them back... after ordering a $35 updated cord first to see if that helped. It did a smidge, but there was definitely something wrong with the ears themselves. I immediately ordered another green pair and they arrived quickly (Thank you, Amazon), plugged these new jobbies in and... yeah, No. The bass is missing again. Not nearly as bad as before, but for a 5 driver, its almost like the #1 & #2 bass drivers just aren't functioning, and seems to distort when any sort of bass hits. And, I don't mean like hip hop, thumping bass, just the normal range stuff. And once again, the high end also seems more abrasive than the original pair. Not sure what I am going to do at this point. I still think the separation and clarity of these iem's are amazing and unmatched to anything I've used before, however these bass and sharp treble negatives might outweigh the positives. Order yet Another pair? Try buying the Red color again and see if for some odd reason, they are just different??? They shouldn't be, but who knows. At any rate, after owning 3 pairs, I can definitely say they haven't been consistent which leaves me hesitant to recommend these anymore. Good luck, and I'm interested to see how this model plays out over time with other users.ORIGINAL REVIEW: I'm a musician and vocalist and I need iem's for their intended purpose... live/stage performance use. I stuck these bad boys in my ears the first time and wanted to just cry from joy and relief. I have owned and used some really bad trash and some okay but satisfactory ears in my time, and these are what I've been after but thought I couldn't afford. I don't have the cash flow for 1964's or UE's, and Westone 10's and Shure 215's have done the job just fine, but these KZ A10's are soooo much better AND Cheaper. I have, until now, not used such incredible sounding ears in this price range... or even several ranges above that. If you are on stage, in a band, you know how important it is to hear each instrument or voice clearly, cleanly, no muddiness. These do all that with detail I didn't know I missing before. There is ALSO a warmth that comes out of these that isn't fake sounding, overwhelming or mushy. There is just the right amount of Bass. I realize we don't want thumping subs in our stage iem's but it's definitely there and somehow doesn't overpower. I use these to enjoy my favorite Spotify playlists too and totally love them in this setting as well. The detail is amazing and I highly recommend these to anyone who needs quality but can't drop the funds for other ridiculously priced ears.-- Michelle

  The Hidden GEM (I mean IEM)

  Where do I begin? If you search Amazon for In Ear Monitors or IEM, you get quite a few. I was on a quest to find the diamond in the rough for under $100. I own more than a few IEMs, some I still own, and some I have sold after I bought these.These have 4 BA (Balanced Armatures) and 1 DD (Dynamic Driver - similar to the one in your dynamic headphones but smaller to fit the IEM form factor.). So I thought I’d try them out. I have or had (since I sold them) some very expensive IEMs with similar configurations of BAs and DD.What I love about these, and I rarely use IEMs for pure listening as headphones generally sound better, is that these sound almost as good as full sized headphones. The bass is full but does not muddy the low mids or even the mids like others I have/had, the mids are not scooped like musician IEMs more focused for performing live on stage, and the highs are very present without sounding brittle and harsh like some IEMs that accentuate the highs as they have a V shaped sound. These are closer to reference IEMs where it is almost flat. They reproduce music as it is intended to be heard by the producer and engineer who mixed the song. If you want a bass heavy, high boosted IEMs, these are not it. Go get a set of Beats. But if you want to hear your music fairly accurately, these are your IEMs.I do have one minor negative (more personal than the product itself) about this but they can be quickly remedied by 2 minor upgrades. One, get a foam based ear tips sized for your ears. The tips that come with the unit are okay, but because they are a rubbery material, and everyone’s ears actually are slightly different from left and right ears, I need something that has the subtle variance which foam tips can handle. They’re available at about $20 for 3 pairs.The second one is not a negative or a con, but I like balanced cables over single ended (unless I don’t have a choice because my phone only offers single ended connection), so I upgraded the cable to a balanced cable.The combination of foam ear tips and balanced cables took this IEM to another level. It beat out a few of my IEMs priced significantly higher (I don’t like mentioning brands I have replaced, but one of them was about $500.)Now is this better than my $1000+ IEMs? No, because my high end IEMs have 8 BA (Balanced armatures) per ear, and that would not be fair to compare. Though, KZ, if you’re reading this, I’m more than happy to compare your KZ AS16 IEMs against my $1000+ 8 BA per ear IEMs.But for a total cost of about $100 with the 2 upgrades, I am able to get a very solid reference IEM with amazing sound quality. Hands down, this is my go to pair of IEMs when I do use them for travel or even for reference checks of my mix downs.If you’re also looking for that diamond in the rough, these are it. Check these out without breaking the bank, but do yourself a favor and order at least the foam tips with this, and you may be pleasantly surprised like me. Very comfortable, great build quality, enjoyable audio, and the stock cables are very good. Your taste may vary from mine.Hope this helps.

  Audiophile grade headphones with one caveat

  If you are a normal person who just wants better sound for your music and movies, look no further. For three times the price of your EarPods, these will provide your extra money’s worth in sound quality. You can power these perfectly from your phone alone without needing any external power amplification. In many ways, these sound better than my $200 AirPod Pros. But just know you’re sacrificing some convenience and comfort of the AirPods for the better sound quality of the AS10.But if you are a social outcast like me, aka audiophile, then read on:-Comfort: It’s fine. My ears are average in everything, I used the medium tips and they fit and isolate sound just fine. You need them properly inserted so you can hear the sound spacing properly, but they’re not difficult to adjust.-Build quality: It’s okay. Not as fancy as a $520 Moondrop variations but for the price you can’t complain. They’ll last probably as long as you’re alive, which is what matters.Included cable: It’s my favorite cable in terms of quality. I really love the texture and low stiffness. It doesn’t make any sound when it rubs against my beard or belly (huge belly people, this is for you). My only nitpick is that it’s a 3.5mm, which is good for most cases, but I had to switch it for a 4.4mm balanced cable for my own uses.-Sound staging: For this I used my HD650 as a benchmark, and to be honest there are a few things these headphones do better, to my surprise. The better handling of the lower frequencies gives more room for the headphones to set the soundstage and everything sounds subjectively better than it does on my HD650. These still sound less good than the HD650, but they sound 80% as good for only 20% the price, which you can’t complain about. The bass feels in the front, with the mids sitting slightly behind, and the treble screaming right against your eardrum (I’ll talk about this bellow).Set-up: these headphones aren’t amp or dac picky. But all my amps are solid state, so maybe a valve amp will sound different.Frequency (Bass): Graphs don’t tell you everything so I’ll focus on what my ears perceive. The bass of these headphones are better than anything I have heard bellow $300 dollars. The next headphones that come anywhere close to these are the Moondrop Blessing 2 Dusk, which are 5 times the price of this. The bass is present, clear, accurate, but doesn’t bleed into the mids, doesn’t make the sound feel muddy or boomy. Well done KZ, I appluad you for the amazing low frequency driver. This has potential to replace all DDs out there for me. And the sub bass is just *chef’s kiss*. My only issue is that the powerful low frequencies feel ticklish to my ear drums sometimes. They physically resonate with the entire tissue of the ear drum which is funny feeling, but it’s no way a deal breaker. I’d rather feel the tickling than have them tune down the Bass.Frequency (Mids): This is a V shaped set up, so the mids are lower than everything else, with a dip around the 500-1khz range. But they’re so accurate, clear, and present. They just take a small step back to let the Bass be the star of the show. But they’re not sacrificed in any other way, which is what you want out of a V shaped tuning.Frequency (treble): this is where they messed up. Once you pass the 2khz mark, you start leaving the gates of heaven and entering the gates of hell. The treble is so harsh sometimes, there’s also some sibilance and distortion that makes things worse. If the Bass sounds like it’s coming from a $300 headphone, the treble sounds like it’s coming from bootleg $15 earphones. The issue is you can’t fix it with an EQ properly because the bad sound comes in spikes and is not consistent across the treble range. The sound from 2khz to 12khz is hell, then it dips and comes back again to attack your ears at 19KHz. The problem is I’m still 26 years old and can hear frequencies up to 19,700Hz, so the badly tuned noises above 19KHz are highly audible to me. I’m sure the engineers in KZ don’t care about those because they probably can’t hear them, but please KZ fix your high frequency sound for the young people who can hear it. We are your target demographic since older audiophiles usually are better off and go into the more expensive market.Summary: Amazing headphones with the best tuned bass and subbass. The only issue is the treble (especially between 2-12khz and 19KHz+) where it needs a -3db retune, preferably with a treble dampener.

  Sound quality

  Excellent sound quality. Cord is a little short. Ear gels slip off into you ears after a while. Still well worth it. Great earbuds!

  For the price, top notch!

  I need to mention that I purchased a set of higher end KZs a while back and returned then because the sound was horrible. But I did something different with these and it made a world of difference. I play guitar in a cover band and have been using Shure in ears and the quality sucks. I made some custom ear molds and it helped a lot, but the sound quality was still lacking. I decided to get a cheaper set of KZs and try them with molds. Last night was the first practice using them and it was instantly obvious I should have done this with the previous set of KZs. The sounds quality and range was so obvious and better, I kept talking about them to my band mates (I'm sure they were getting sick of it). I made custom molds using moldable ear plug molds. Got the stuff on amazon for 10 bucks which is dirt cheap and you'll have enough to make 2 sets. Just search YouTube and you'll be set.Ver másVer menos
