Linsoul KZ ZS10 Pro, 4BA+1DD 5 Driver in Ear Monitor, HiFi Wired Earbuds, Gaming Earbuds, Hybrid IEM Earphones with Stainless Steel Faceplate, Detachable Cable for Musician(Without Mic, Black)

READ END FOR INFO!These are AWESOME. I normally run an Audio-Technica, the regular over-head ones, with a Focusrite amp. I just happened to visit another state and forgot headphones for Valorant specifically. But Holy, these sound very good. Sound isolation is a 10/10. With my Apple Music (website) sound maxed and my laptop volume at 20, these pack a MAJOR punch. They are a bit bass-heavy, but overall sound great. More specifically, 10/10 Bass, Mid 7/10, highs 6/10, depending on music. If the song's bass is heavy or has guitar themes, it will take over a little. IDK what it's called, but the sound "separation" is very good as well, it sounds like instruments are playing around you and not just in the middle of your head. It fits perfectly for me, and it seems like they should fit all. Build quality IMO is 10/10, I got the blackout color, which is like a nice black and gold. They feel solid and premium and are definitely worth the money. Pictures are of music I was listening to, and also what they look like.END: You should know (I did order "CCZ UP01 Plus 5N OFC Replacement Headphone Extension Cable QDC Pins for KZ ZS10 PRO" which are replacement wires and are NOT necessary, but I wanted a mic. And I also ordered foam ear tips which have a guard since the tips these come with don't have one, so if you don't clean your stuff regularly, they will get gunked up.)

I got these to use in a worship band as the drummer, they work really well for this purpose. The mid and highs are really good, but it gets a bit distorted on the low end. We typically will have 10 to 12 channels active in the mix voices and instruments and maybe a backing track, nothing gets lost and the click stays above it all. I would suggest getting a different set of foam ear tips to help with noise isolation and reduce the stage noise during live performance and if you are using these as a drummer to help with cutting out snare and crash decibel levels from the outside. No issues with the comfort being able to wear these for a couple of hours and not too tight on the ears to rub or cause pain.

I've been using these for about a year and a half, and they're the best earbuds I've EVER used. I'm very picky about the sound of headphones, as I'm a casual music producer. These have a very balanced and accurate sound from my experience. I have heavily pierced ears (9 on my left, 3 on my right) so over-ear headphones are not an option for me anymore, unfortunately. These absolutely fill the void left by them, however.For producing music, the audio is clear & accurate. For listening, they cover everything you'd need them to. They fit in my ear well, and have a few different size options. As time goes on, the buds do tend to fall out and get stuck in my ear, but after a year or two it is probably a good idea to update them anyway.The BEST part about them though, by far, is that you can buy a bluetooth adapter separately and use them wired or wireless. And for the audio quality & price, it's absolutely so worth it. These are such a good price as well, that if they ever break or need replacing, I wouldn't be opposed to just buying the same ones seeing as, compared to really good blue tooth earbuds, they come in at a great price.Highly recommend these, or really any good IEM earbuds.

I want to first and foremost start off by stating that I am new to the IEM world. I got these to compliment a HiBy R4 player that I recently purchased as I wanted to give IEM's a try over standard earbuds without breaking my wallet. There are a lot of mixed reviews of these IEM's and many reviews on YouTube certain individuals have done. I would like to clear up some misunderstanding to those who may be considering purchasing them but are on the fence where reviews are concerned.First impressions; Tone-wise they are bright. The first day I had them I will admit, I almost returned them. I did not like them at first. I thought to myself that the JVC xtreme explodes I had been using sounded far better. The bass sounded strained at times. There is high frequency response particularly in the 500-6000K range which, to my ears, does NOT sound natural. While stats on paper (online I mean) say that these are more neutral and V-shaped, that may be more-so depending on the device, DAC and amp you use them with. I find the highs and mids to be excessive to where you have to keep playing with the EQ to find the right sound. BUT that said, the sound can be fixed, you just have to experiment with EQ settings and give them roughly 48-hours of burn in time and they do tend to smooth out -to a degree.What you need to do is set your EQ properly on your DAP or phone. These are supposedly suited to perform more in the 'V' range (or so they say) so if you leave your EQ at flat they are going to sound far too high and unnatural in the high to mid-range. Now of course, this is going to be dependent on the music you are listening to. If you are listening to just classical, jazz, vocal or acoustic they sound fine with little EQ interference and your music will sound more alive like the instruments and singer is front and center, but if you intend to listen to various genres of music like I do, you WILL need to adjust them accordingly in the EQ and find the proper sweet-spot that sounds good to you.Personally, I find decreasing the mid-range tones in the 500 to 8000k range help a lot for 'most' types music I listen to. Now if you're listening to Norah Jones, Jack Johnson or any unplugged album, such as Nirvana or Neil Young unplugged (that is -acoustical and vocal) to name a few, you will get great results. Now the caveat is if I want to listen to something heavier or more demanding, like hard rock for example, then I set a separate frequency band preset for that type of music and lower the gain and find that they perform just fine. Examples of this and tracks you can try may be Chevelle's 'Family System or Comfortable Liar,' or Linkin' Park's 'Lying From You' when I say hard rock to name a few, because in those albums, the bass hits hard as does the treble so you do have to tone it down and lower the EQ gain. Some albums also were recorded loud (heavy compression) so you have to take that into consideration as well. If you don't lower the gain on the EQ with some types of music, you will get distortion with these guaranteed, and I think this may be where some are confused. I've had them for a week and use them with my HiBy R4 and I still feel like I'm having to adjust them from time to time.Now the main factor with these -sibilance. Goodness gracious; It's excessive. As I said in the beginning, the ZS-10 Pro's are overly bright in this area, but again this is where EQ adjustments come into play. On the HiBy R4 I use with mine, under settings, I use the MSEB and have overall temp set between -10 and 30 which makes them sound warmer. I also adjust the bass extension to +7 to +10 and then +7 to +10 for texture, respectively. I leave anything having to do with the vocals at default in the MSEB. Sibilance, I feel like, is dependent upon the music genre you are playing so you have to find the adjustments you like, but personally I find this to be the overall sweet-spot where highs and bass response are concerned. Then use the EQ within the music app to find the correct curve and adjust from there leaving the MSEB alone after I initially set it. Make sure that if and when you find the settings you like that you save them so you can go back and forth between different EQ profiles, because again, it may take several adjustments and listening sessions to get it right.Now keep in mind this is just if using with the R4 so depending on the type of DAP you are using, your settings will vary, but hopefully you get the picture of what I mean. What sounds good to me may not sound good to you. And remember, these have five drivers in each can, (one dynmaic for lows and then two for mids, two for highs) so they do require some adjustment from the user, just like a good speaker system would on a home stereo with actual speakers in order to find the sound that you enjoy. They perform nothing like the typical run-of-the-mill earbuds you have been used to which only have one driver doing everything.(UPDATE: 7/3/2025 -I have found what seems to be -at least for my tastes- one of the better EQ settings to use for the ZS 10 Pro's. If you are using PowerAmp for your listening; there are presets in there for various IEM's. I tinkered around for a while going through different ones until I found a preset I like. I recommend checking out the preset for '1 More MK801' (see pic attached to review) as this EQ curve, though for a different IEM, seems to fit these well and tones down the sibilance a lot and I have found it the sweet spot for mids, bass and treble frequencies for most types of music. From there, then you can use the Bass and Treble knobs to your tastes but I find 95% of the time, it is fine as-is. You can leave the gain in the middle for this one depending on what your listening to, but at times you do need to lower it a notch for some tracks otherwise you may get some distortion as is the case in my screenshot. I want to be clear that I am using mine again, with the HiBy R4 DAP, so depending on hardware, amplification, etc. you may have some difference but either way, I say if you use PowerAmp for playback, this may be the best way to find the best EQ setting (my tastes are mainly acoustic, grunge, hard rock, progressive rock and some electronic and pop and it's fine).Back to the original review;Now set up; This was pretty straight forward (similar to any earbud you get) except you have to connect the cables to the earpieces obviously before using. It takes a minute to figure out which is right and left (at least it did for me) because though the connectors have a clear imprint on them for R and L, they are barely easy to read. I personally had to use the flashlight on my phone and really look closely to be able to see which connector went to which earpiece. I did it backwards at first and then had to redo it again. If I could- I'd like to make a suggestion to the manufacturer here and that is to clearly label which is R and L on the cable and if possible, the IEM's themselves so you get the connections correct on the first attempt. Some say they had an 'out of phase' experience at first and this is likely the reason why. If they are connected wrong of course the stereo imaging will be out of phase but this is a simple fix that could be applied going forward as new IEMs are being manufactured. The lettering for R and L don't have to be a huge font, just clear enough to be legible.As for the cable, mine was the silver one (not brown) and does not get tangled. There is no noise interference that I can tell. Kudos here but out of the box as-is, the cable included does not have the moveable adjustment many like to use as are common on many other cables. This doesn't personally bother me as I'm already used to that from using earbuds that don't offer that feature, but for some, they may not like that. You could of course, mitigate this by getting a different cable if it means that much to you. I'm neither here nor there about it. The connectors have a protected end and fit snuggly into place.As for the ear pieces themselves; They have two mid-size ones already installed and give you three extra sizes (S, M, and L) in a little baggy. I changed mine out to the larger ones. They are silicone but I find them to be comfortable. A few people who reviewed these said that they also include a pair of foam tips but that must have been a different set as mine only had silicone tips included, which is fine as that would have been my preference anyway. You have to remember, also, that to get the best sound and isolation, you have to make sure you have on the right size tip and insert these (or any other IEM for that matter) properly. If you don't have a good seal and have a leak, this will also greatly effect your sound. There are videos out there that you can watch to show you how to properly wear an IEM and to get the best seal. Some suggest gently pulling on your upper ear while inserting, then letting go once they are in place which will seal them correctly and I find that this method does in fact, work best.Construction; They appear to be made well. Now some other reviews are stating one side or another went out after a few months but that makes me wonder if it's just the cable in those cases. I don't know. I hope I don't run into that, but if I do, I would probably do process of elimination on the cable connectors first before saying they are broken. At first glance and after listening, for the price point anyway, they seem to be pretty solid and they CAN get loud if you want them to. But we will see what happens in terms of longevity.All in all I would recommend. I only docked one star due to the connector label frustration and too much emphasis on the mid to high end because out of the box, I think they could tone those high frequencies down a little bit. As-is it's too much and that could potentially harm your hearing if you're not careful. Maybe I need to settle for a pair of IEM's that have a lower high-end response. I am also looking into the KZ-AS 10's, among some other brands. I really would like to find a pair that sound great with rock music and some pop but not be overly shrill on the high end with symbols and sibilance on the 's' tones. I want the bass to be punchy and deep when needed as it was intended overall but I don't need it super, super low either where I feel like it's vibrating my cranium. I overall would like to find something where I don't find myself having to adjust the EQ constantly. The problem with most reviews I read on any IEM's is most people tend to say, "oh it sounds great for gaming" or "oh it sounds awesome, just buy it." Well I'm not a gamer and telling me I should just buy something doesn't tell me much either. So when you write a review folks, please remember to provide as many details as you can. I bought them for solely for listening to music and that's where I want them to perform the best. So details about the sound are important to me and likely to many others out there.Time will tell if I can get the sound tailored exactly to my liking, but so far what I have found is that if you give them a burn in period, set your EQ correctly depending on what your listening to and don't play your music at obnoxious levels (which you shouldn't be doing anyway) you can get pretty good sound out of these for what they are given their price point being less than $50. And even if they are not your favorite IEM and you have expendable income, you will probably end up with another set anyway. But for starting out, they aren't too shabby at all after the initial burn-in period. But they do take some time to get used to. While I'm sure they aren't the best out there, you could do worse and they are overall great for what they are at this price-point.Happy listening everyone.
