"I got them sub-$40, and in terms of getting a v shaped, kinda edgy, bright leaning shimmery sound without congesting guitars/drums and without being bass-light, these don't really have competition at their price point imo"
"cost peanuts ... outdo most big brand IEMs up to like.. 500usd price range."
"The KZ’s are way more bang for the buck than the Shure SE215s or even 315s. ... You can get a set of KZ ZS10 Pro headphones today for under $50 on Amazon ... I do recommend getting an extra upgraded cable (which is also super-inexpensive) for the KZs."

"the kz zs10 pro 2(which I also use daily at home lol) are better for more higher note songs in my opinion. ... The pro 2 ’s are WAY brighter in the highs than the wan’ers are. ... if you’re looking for something to bring out really bright crisp kids and highs, definitely go for the pro 2’s"
"sparkling treble"
"KZ ZS10 Pro 2 does V shaped pretty well, mids still there for sure, not crazy V shaped. ... v shaped, kinda edgy, bright leaning shimmery sound without congesting guitars/drums and without being bass-light"

"they fit in my ear so good ... one of my favourite fitting iem"
"Since I really like the shape and fit of KZ items ... tripowin zonie cable on ZS10 PRO 2, which I can use on PRX, and a set of few different tips for rolling, so I only need the beef up for the iem..."
"They deliver the sound right to your ear drums, seal out external noises, are very lightweight, don't mess up your hair, don't make your ears sweat, I could go on and on."

"I’m using mine with KZ ZS10 pro 2. I connected them to my pc and to my iPhone and they both have the same static ground noise. ... I tried toggling the tuning switches on the Pro 2s and they made little to no difference for preventing the hissing."

"The KZ's braded cord sucks royal ass and I had to glue my tip connectors back on after they disassembled. ... If you're gigging the SE215's are substantially better made and they're a better product even if they don't have all the fancy features."
"I have used KZ ZS10 Pros until the cable connections disintegrated"
"No way! Not mine anyway. Mine goes from the floor to my nipple (about and I'm 5'10") so, yeah, Not even close to 15'. ... Unless they're selling those with long cables now. Which would be nice I think."
Glad to hear this. Was looking to replace my Kz ZS10 Pro 2 with the Kunten on my PSVR2 for playing GT7
I too own a cat, and he’s chewed the cable on my PSVR2 and steering base cable, but has not gotten to my iems yet as he’s banned from the office. My Kz’s didn’t break, they’re still like new. Just replacing them as my VR iem for sim racing with the Kunten since people report they sound better.
Interesting, why do you think they suck? I’ve been using KZ’s ZS10 Pro 2 with my 7th gen and they slap.
I have been using KZ (knowledge Zenith) in-ears and never had any complaints. I am currently using the KZ ZS10 Pro2 and am very happy.
I use these with a foam ear tip. https://kz-audio.com/kz-zs10-pro-2.html
I got ZS10 Pro 2 for ₹2021 on AliExpress
You probably already received your pair by now but sound is very subjective. I enjoy these iems a lot and love the tuning. i typically listen to EDM, K-pop, J-pop, R&B, Classic Rock and Metal. These iems are good enough for me and i’d say they are good for their price. They are very mellow for me and very natural sounding. I LOVE BASS and these have good enough slam for me but I wouldn’t use them if I am craving bass lol. I use my Thieaudio Hype 4 if I really want big, deep bass without it bleeding into the other frequencies. I also own Moondrop Dusk (yes the Crinacle collab), Moondrop Blessings 3, Thieaudio Hype 4, Finalaudio A4000, and on the lower end of the price bracket the Linsoul KZ ZS10 Pro 2. My personal rankings for my IEM collection (from best to worst): Hype 4 = Dusk > Blessing 3 > Daybreak > Finalaudio A4000 > KZ ZS10 Pro. Daybreaks are good for their price range but I wouldn’t say they punch above their weight. The ones i ranked ahead are more than double the price of the Daybreak so it makes sense why my rankings are like that but if you have the money for the Daybreaks then I would say go for it and keep them and if you don’t like the tuning then just return them and maybe save up for a more expensive iem? Also just an FYI, I am pretty new to the IEM scene as I used to mainly collect and use Over-ear open back headphones (I own the Sennheiser HD800s, HD600, HD6xx, AKG K712 Pro, Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro, hella Koss Porta Pros, and hella Grados). So you can take my say with a grain of salt since I am fairly new to IEMs.
Surprised ZS10 Pro2 isnt on this list. They are by far one of the best IEMs for like $50.
I use it for Tarkov, they are great! They have 4 different sound profiles to pick from. I use Profile 2 on mine.
KZ ZS10 PRO 2 I just bought them 2 weeks ago and they are very good for the price of $50.
As others have suggested, KZ has several models (I recommend ZS10 or ZS12 Pro X) that cost peanuts and they outdo most big brand IEMs up to like.. 500usd price range. You might need to get better foams for them, as depending on model they may not come with any.
Oh, i also have a pair of Zs10 pro 2 but i think they are weird and never use them. Zs10 and zs12 pro x sound way better to me. But with zs12 pro x u also get the switches
KZ Audio will have you set for anything that isnt sold out arenas, and would suffice even there lol and wont cost you a whole lot. If you want the real deal, then get custom molds. But with like.. 50usd and potentionally adding better foams on them you can manage perfectly fine. I use KZ ZS10 Pro X and ZS12 Pro X. I also have ZS10 Pro 2 but I dont recommend those. That said, I'm a bass player first, but I have literally no interest consider something like Shure that costs 3-10x as much, has less hardware and at best sounds as good as the 50 buck pair of KZ. Of course when you start to go into the expensive range of Shure they likely pull ahead, but by that you are also paying a minimum 10x as much.
ZS10 Pro X and ZS12 Pro X are both much better than Pro 2, which was a pretty bad misstep from KZ. But yeah definitely try KZ.
Yeah, My go-to is also ZS12 Pro X. Followed by ZS10 Pro X and Pro 2 is only for emergencies😅
+1 for kz. Mine is 5 years and still going good. Easy available on amazon
KZ ZS10 pro 2 for coherence, Letshouer s08 for speed
First of all: I am not an expert in hi-fi. I'm just a simple man who was looking for good IEMs, and this is only my subjective opinion. The IEMs I was looking for should cost between $50 and $150 and should have balanced, lively bass with pleasant treble that does not tire the ears. So far, I have tried many IEMs and tested them on my PC and smartphone without any additional devices. No DAC, no amp. It was important to me that they were ready to use right out of the box. For me, good sound is when it is carried by lively bass and deep frequencies that guide you through the music, especially for drum and bass and metal. Low frequencies, and especially bass, form the basis of a good listening experience; that's the primary purpose of why I prefer hi-fi headphones, to get into it. My rotation: **≈ 50$ IEMs which I tested:** LINSOUL TANGZU Wan'er LINSOUL SIMGOT EW200 MOONDROP CHU II LINSOUL 7Hz x Crinacle Zero:2 KZ Castor LINSOUL KZ ZS10 PRO 2 LINSOUL KZ ZS10 PRO X **≈ 100$ IEMs which I tested:** LINSOUL SIMGOT EW300 ARTTI T10 Pro TRUTHEAR Hexa Surprisingly, only two of the IEMs I tested impressed me with their overall bass reproduction. I couldn't decide between the KZ PRO 2 and the ZERO BLUE 2, but in the end I chose the BLUE 2 because it offers the best overall package. For me, the ZERO BLUE 2 is simply badass right out of the box. These were the only IMEs that had this deep sounding I was looking for. https://preview.redd.it/fm66t5fl5uef1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87099e1c617e96b62bb51f28fe01520ebe96a0c6 https://preview.redd.it/pyn3x43m5uef1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=721c67332e8f8dd3db7ed8ac6e948c098e174871
