Phenomenal sound, mind-blowing value for price.
These are amazing. Truly. I started with the KZ ZSTs as my first pair of in-ears after borrowing my bass player's westones while I shopped for what I wanted. The westones are nice, but dollar for dollar, the KZs blow them out of the water. The sound separation on the AS10s is astonishing. I'm a singer and use these for live events. They're worth every penny x10.My only complaint is the cable--not for quality, but for a "fit" quirk. On the ZSTs you get a cable that has a small wire inside it, allowing you to shape it to your ear as needed. On the AS10s, the ends proximal to the ear are encased in a preformed silicone, so they're molded to a pre-determined shape. There is no altering this shape. It turned out to be fine for my right ear, but my left ear kept falling off. It actually wouldn't have been a problem at all if it had been my right ear, because I like to hear room sound on stage and so I almost always take my right ear out and use only my left. But it was my left, so it was infuriating. It wouldn't stay close around my ear no matter how much i twisted or repositioned or wrapped it in twist ties to force it to a shape that worked. I don't have deformed ears that I know of, but everyone is different so maybe it was just me. Or maybe it was just a slightly off cable. I don't know. But nothing worked, til I purchased an upgrade cable to replace it with. Now they stay on great (and I have an even better sound quality). Sending them back wasn't really an option because I am on stage multiple times a week and I didn't want to be without them AT ALL (because nothing compares, honestly).One thing to note: I got more foam tips to replace my comply tips that were falling apart, but actually found that I prefer the OEM tips with the AS10s (highly recommend foam for the ZSTs though). Here's why: They are all balanced armatures, with no dynamic drivers. Dynamic drivers displace air, and thus require a small hole to let the air move (which also lets sound in--and sound out). Balanced armatures don't displace air, and thus have no hole. As such, there's less noise pollution from outside the ear canal competing with what's coming out of the in-ears, and no bleed from a hole in the in-ear housing itself. So the OEM tips keep the sound isolated well. When I change to the foam tips, I just get a muddier sound, oddly enough. So I stopped using them and went back to the OEM tips. Very happy with the clarity.Ver másVer menos
