A no nonsense flagship that deserves to be 10 times the price!
Knowledge Xenith, better known as KZ, has been growing increasingly popular due to their incredible price to performance iem’s. Over the past few years, their KZ-ZS lineup has turned many heads due to their extremely low prices but high driver count. Their newest model, the KZ ZS-10, has pushed KZ’s ideals even further with a total driver count of 10 drivers, or 4 balanced armatures and one dynamic in each earpiece. But how do the iem’s sound? I’ll spare you the suspense, and just tell you outright that it sounds ridiculously good for the price. Let’s get into the details.Fit/Isolation:Fit and isolation are things that someone needs to consider when buying an iem. Lucky for everyone, the KZ ZS-10’s have a very natural shape to them, and it tends to sit flush in your ear. The provided ear tips allow them to fit any number of ear canals, and the isolation is very much above average due to the faceplates cupping the inside of your ear. In this department, I think KZ made a good conscious choice to remove any edges (such as from their KZ-ZS5/6 line) or complicated universal earshapes, and just settle with a simple universal design.Accessories:The accessories that the KZ ZS10’s come with this time around are a bit of a surprise. The star tips that most KZ’s ship with are present here as well, but the iem’s come with a nice upgraded copper-looking cable that is braided. This is a nice addition, and one that really shows why the KZ ZS-10 is the current flagship of the KZ lineup.Sound:Finally, we come to the sound of the KZ ZS-10’s. Overall, the iem’s have a laid back and darker sound signature. In short, they’re non-fatiguing and generally very pleasant to listen to. They tend to smooth over bad recordings, unlike some other iem’s that really reveal the faults in poor quality recordings. However, as usual for KZ, the KZ ZS-10 shows plenty of technical prowess, and really is a price to performance proposition that is to be reckoned with.The high’s are the most notable change and departure from the KZ-ZS5 and 6. One of the biggest complaints for the ZS-5/6’s that many people noted was that they were “treble cannons”. For long listening sessions, people might grow fatigued or if you were treble sensitive, they might not have been for you. However, with the ZS-10’s, KZ has clearly listened to consumer feedback. The high’s have been significantly smoothed out and are no longer piercing and sibilant.The mid’s on the on the ZS-10’s are clean and balanced. Not too forward, but not too recessed either. For vocal performances, the ZS-10’s are no slouch. They will bring emotion and clarity, but the voices are not in your face. This is due to the KZ ZS-10’s having quite a nice soundstage, which could possibly be the largest in their entire lineup.The bass is here on the the ZS-10’s, and it’s here in spades. While not as boomy as some of the other dynamic offerings, it has serious presence but is controlled. Bass has great timbre and rumble, so you feel the music unlike some balanced armatures making the bass seem flat and boring.Overall, the ZS-10 has a bigger soundstage than a lot of iems, non fatiguing highs, great mid and bass response, and is overall a very cohesive package. The laid back sound signature will please lots of people, and the new cable that comes with the ZS-10’s offers an attractive and durable solution that really shows KZ is stepping up their game.Comparisons:So I’ve talked about how competent the KZ ZS-10 is so far on its own, but how does it compare to other in ear monitors around its price point?~ZS-10 vs ZSR:One of KZ’s most popular offerings is the KZ ZSR’s. Though the ZSR’s are very affordable, they always offer an amazing price to performance ratio. However, I do highly prefer the ZS10’s over them. Though the high’s on the ZSR’s are more sparkly, they are also still a little fatiguing. The ZS10’s are an iem that I can listen to endlessly. The ZSR’s are also much more congested in sound staging, while the ZS10’s have a wide open and more airy presentation. Lastly, the ZSR’s bass is indeed very powerful and boomy, but it’s a bit less controlled than the ZS10’s. Overall, the ZSR’s are still a terrific option if you cannot afford the more expensive ZS-10’s~ZS-10 vs 1More Triple:One of the hallmarks of entry level hifi, the 1more Triple was one of the first iems widely released as a statement that everyone can afford audiophile quality earphones. The 3 driver hybrid iem really cemented it as a standout in the $100 range. However, next to the ZS-10’s, they might only win on the build quality front. In terms of sound, the ZS-10 is on a completely different level in terms of technical prowess and balance. The 1more triple has muddier bass, is more congested and confused in the staging, and just overall offers a lower level of technical ability (micro details and macrodetail). The 1More Triple is still a very competent earphone, but the ZS-10’s simply are a far superior iem at more than $40 less.Conclusion/TL;DR:So should you get these earphones? If you have $60, it’s a no brainer. You’ll have to pay upwards to 10 times the price to find something that you might consider an upgrade. It’s truly deserving of being an audiophile quality in ear, and along with its lovable sound signature and micro/macro detailing, it really shouldn’t be only $60. It’s an iem anyone who just wants to listen to music.(Music from video from Bensound)
