KZ AS10 Pure 5 Balanced Armature 5BA Earphone, Musician in Ear Monitor Headphone High Fidelity HiFi Headset (with Microphone, Black)…

Excellent Sound, at a Value PriceI have to get this out of the way right off the bat. If you have 100 bucks to spend on some IEM's. Grab these without hesitation and grab the upgraded cable for 14 bucks and be on your way!With that out of the way lets talk about these headphones in three areas. Fit, Features, and Lastly Sound QualityFit / Comfort:I don't have small ears, I normally have to use the large size eartips for all of my IEM's to get a good seal. These headphones fit nicely in my ear using the standard tips that were provided. The barrel for the sound to come out of is a bit larger than some of the other headphones that I have used. If you have small ears this might be a challenge for you to use these IEMs. I have since upgraded to the comply foam tips for a perfect seal. Isolation is very good when on stage. The foam eartips also enhance the bass response as well.Features:There's not much to say with these. You get the headphones, a cable, and a couple more sizes of eartips. The plastic seems to be sturdy and not cheap feeling. The flashy shiny alumimum trim panel in the box is nice, but I would have rather gotten a small case, or even a better quality cable with the set of earbuds than all of that. I have to take off one star because the cable that came in the box with my set, did not work on the left ear. I purchased the upgraded cable and installed it and it works perfectly. Amazon did refund me the 12 bucks for my trouble so that was nice, but KZ needs to have a bit more quality control over their accessories. A simple continuity test would have shown that the cable was defective.Sound Quality:Last but certinaly not least is the sound. I was truely impressed with the details in the high frequency. Its clear crisp, but not harsh. Midrange sounds flat, and the low end is is solid and punchy. Even the subass is really solid on these. I ran a test on these headphones doing a frequency sweep in the low end. These headphones can go all the way down to 20Hz! That was really impressive! They are most defined at 40Hz and above. These headphones are really nice listening to any genre of music. For those bass heads that really like that loose sloppy low end, these might not sound that good to you. These are so clear and articulate across the entire frequency range. These work great for me as a Bass Player in the band. I can clearly hear everything that I do in the mix across the entire frequency spectrum. Vocals are great! Guitars are clear, and the bass is top notch The sensitivity of these headphones is amazing. I only have to use 40% of the volume I had to use before to get the same level of sound. When I run these thru an Axiom headphone mixer I do have to dial back the high frequency in my mix just a touch so it's not harsh. I do that because I want to hear my bass a bit clearer in the mix.Summary:You can't go wrong with these IEM's. For the price, there is nothing out there on the market that can beat these. My only negatives are the cable quality, no foam eartips, no case, and that they are a little on the large side, so people with small ears might not be able to benifit from having these.In comparison my backup set of IEM's is the MEE Audio M7 Pro's. These headphones are $149 bucks and only have two drivers. These KZ's completly destroy the M7's. I wish I would have known about KZ before I was pushed into buying the M7's. I now use the M7 case to store my KZ's and have the M7's as backups in my gig bag.Don't delay. You have to try these today! I don't think you will be dissapointed.

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

Works great, sounds amazingPerfect for musicians and for just listening to music/ movies

Todo bien

Diese IEMs sind definitiv ihr Geld wert. Wenn jemand In-Ear-Monitore mit fünf balanced armature drivers sucht, ohne ein Vermögen auszugeben, empfehle ich sie definitiv. Natürlich haben sie ihre Nachteile, aber man kann sie korrigieren. Das Kabel könnte besser sein. Die Silikon-Ohrstöpsel könnten bequemer sein, aber sie sind ausreichend dicht. Die Balance ist nicht optimal, aber man kann ohne Korrekturen hören. Was mir am meisten gefällt, ist die Klarheit des Klangs. Man merkt sofort, dass es sich nicht um dynamische Treiber handelt. Für das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis gebe ich fünf Sterne.

Modelos calidad precio excelente sonido con calidad y limpio

Points positifs :- Profil de son "plat" très correct pour des intra.- Super isolation passive, pas besoin de réduction de bruit active (ni de gérer la batterie des écouteurs), les transports en communs ne sont plus audibles une fois la musique lancée.- Cable amoviblePoints négatifs :- Le confort, après environ 1h je ressens une faible douleur puisque le "boitier" en plastique des écouteurs appuie contre mes oreilles, c'est assez génant mais ça ne me contraint pas à les enlever.- Le câble, il est assez court mais suffisament long pour aller des oreilles à la poche de Jeans cependant il a une grosse tendance à s'emmêler...Notes :- Ce sont des écouteurs qui vont assez profondément dans l'oreille, ça peut gêner certaines personnes- Il n'y a qu'un seul bouton sur le cable, situé sur le fil de l'écouteur droit, qui permet juste de faire la lecture/pause de la musique
