Budget IEM (Chit Chat)

Ear tips lor... changing ear tips quite important...

change already but not all can always consistently get a good fit, that's why just 1 shot go 1x expensive ciem and force myself to stop buying
kz seems to have come a long way compared to my zs3 and zs5 days

I basically skip over all BA IEM and just go to CCA Hydro..

 

[Prince_Of_Darkness_Dracul]

broke my ciem, next pair likely looking at chifi iems

any pair that emphasizes the clarity, non-bassy kind

interested to knw if any chifi replicates sound of Andromeda

Yeah I have PRX... but you need AMP to bring out the sound... even my PC soundcard also struggle a bit need to turn up the volume.

My Xiaomi earbuds kinda died... the sound become mix stereo making the L and R leaking into each other...

If you are just using 3.5mm then just get the KZ upgrade cable with 784 cores lor... those are decent...

Ear tips got to depend on your ear... to be honest I think it sounded the best on foam tips.... I try with all kinda of ear tips from Spinfit to Dunu to TRN T and even Comply T-500... but I think the KZ foam tips that was given free by the seller actually sounds quite okay probably because of the fitting and seal... but foam tips dun feel as comfortable as silicone though...

I suggest those who are unsure... can pick up one under $20 to play with it... low costs low risk mar..

Just dunno when will I ever see this price again... by the time this discount pop up, I already bought 2 pairs from Amazon at $30++ to $20++...

Saw your post last year and brought the KZ ZS10 Pro at amazon during their black Friday sales.
Any recommendation on replacement cables? Thanks

KZ Earphone Cable 8 Core Silver Blue Hybrid 784 cores Silver plated Upgrade Cable For KZ ZAX ZS10 PRO ZSN ZSX DQ6 CCA

Either this or the Gold one is fine... KZ ZS10 Pro does not need any kind of amp... so really no point buying a cable with 4.4mm balanced... this is selling like $12++ on Shopee.. and some seller allows you to add on other item with some discount.. you can grab their foam tip as well... it is like $3.60 for a set of 3 sizes..

you make me want to go dig out my zs5 and zs gold cable

 

[BlackWing1977]

Alright thanks !!..

This is the same one I am using on my ZS10 Pro combined with a pair foam tips... it sounds wonderful.

To be honest, I did not buy the upgrade cable looking for some audio improvement.. I just dun like the default cable.. looks very irritating... and feels irritating when wearing it outside...

 

[BlackWing1977]

Dig out and listen to some songs lor... it is very relaxing one.
