      I found them a bit sharp sounding. I find their single DD models are more to my preference.

      @@VortexReviews1 ZS10 Pro X is great. I put a filter on it to smooth out sound, but I thought it muted too many details so I took them off. I normally don't use foam for the same reason, I ended up cutting some length on wide bore foam tips and using those currently. . I eq'd to a lot of different profiles but didn't hear much difference but it will smooth out peaks. Got them for $13, steal. BTW, I bought the AK6 Pro based on your Fonge review. They are cheap plastic yet shockingly good! I also tried and removed filters. It's amazing how much detail and how crazy good the Soundstage is. I'm using Azla wide bore tips because I had them on hand and an upgrade cable for looks. The tips cost 10x more than the IEM but I didn't care for the on any other set including the
      Galaxy Buds Pro which I got them for. Those earphones also suck compared to my wired sets.

    Interesting that all the BAs are taken from Hydro and AS24 yet the latter two sound so good, perhaps those extra drivers do make a difference. Too bad was expecting more from this. Good that I watch your review first.

    Thanks for the honest review. 👍
    Probably tuned for the Asian market?
    I sometimes enjoy listening to BA bass; warm with less rumble. But I'm not getting this one.
    Do you have a particular brand of replacement cable that works with KZ qdc connectors? I have had problems 3rd party with cables being loose and not staying in place with KZ sets...

      Try NFC connection type. They are squared off so they fit much tighter.

      Thanks and always. They could be tuned more for the Chinese market with that bright treble / upper mids. Have a look at what the other folks have recommended in this chat.

    They need an impedence adapter for the bass, they are sold with one in some markets.

      Ah and in turn that would lower the upper mids and treble, because when you use an adapter the fr tilts. I suppose that depends on crossovers and such too.
