ZS10 Pro (Gen 1)

We have really good in-ear monitors now, no need for bulky headsets. Monitors will allow him to hear himself much better as well without needed to pipe his own playing back in to him. I usually suggest these to the budget conscious parents of by students. [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XXX7Q4H](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XXX7Q4H) They get much, much more expensive than these. These are just to trial to see if the player will actually use them and get any benefit. As far as a recording/playback setup, big can of worms. I'll leave others to that.

I still love my KZ ZS10 Pro wired IEM.. Best value 👌

Kz zs10 pro (purple). I was an over the ear only person up until then, but needed something more portable for public transport. Now I'm on my 4th pair of iems each getting better/closer to what i consider perfect.

As someone that owns the prx, which i find to be extremely power hungry, he might want to look at the vader pro since it has more bass which will help in gaming (footsteps) and is the easiest to drive iem i own. Along with the prx and vader pro i also have the zs10 pro. I've powered all them with usb c dac, fiio btr11, and ae 01 and ae01 pro ear hooks.

this right here. i replaced my 20$ ear buds with $40 iems and i can actually hear the artists singing her own back up now. i have heard things i never heard before in songs i have listened to hundreds of times. its nice to be able to squeeze those extra drops of juice out of that old lemon. almost feels like a remastered song sometimes

Story is I never heard of iems and was using 20 dollars baseus Bowie ear buds and thought I had something good for the price. Then my nephew told me to listen to his kefine kleans and I was shocked. I did research and bought the zs10 pro and a 10$ DAC dongle they are almost as good. I'll probably eventually get the kleans.

The zs10 pro. The lack base and I had I get a DAC dongle. Id recommend the kefine kleans cuz my nephews says he doesn't hear any static when the volume is very low. I hear some in the zs10 pro and the Dac removed 80 percent of it or more. But Im literally just listening to music on YouTube videos not even a paid service.🤣🤣

KZ in ears are the standard affordable ones, sometimes listed with their parent company Linsoul. [Here’s one of their models.](https://a.co/d/hFhN4YO) They work great if you’re one of the lucky people that can wear regular earbuds, and their models range from $40-$100ish. If you’re like me and pulled the lucky straw of having weird shaped ear canals that don’t agree with standard earbud fittings, get a custom molded pair from [64 audio](https://www.64audio.com/pages/design-customs?model=A6t) and try not to cry at the price. And just so you’ve heard it - *be careful with volume with in ears!!!* You can do real damage with sound getting pumped right into your ear, especially over long periods of time. Please keep the volume low.

Ive only ever bought 2 iems. the zs10 pros and the crinacle zero reds. The zs10s mic died on me within the first month. after that they lasted a year before the right side died. I got the reds 2 months ago. I would say they are pretty good. I used both earphones with the apple dongle on my laptop. I would definitely recommend the reds they come in an overall better packaging and sound very good. Not high base just like i want it. more neutral but vocals are very clear. Also for gaming i would say they are decent for fps games if you are into that. Highly recommend getting the apple dongle as well even if you dont have an apple device.

I have these as well and think they do more than an okay job for the price. They sound pretty good and can't even hear the pads when playing. Especially when applying along with music or metronome.
