Is the Heretic similar to the short lived IEMagni? I still use that one in my office.

I don't think these are still for sale. I still have mine, but fit was always the problem, not sound. However, another ~5 year old IEM, the Tenmark Pro dual driver absolutely still competes with the budget options and is still available. They even sell it as head only for $10, and you buy your...

I already had the CCA C10 good but not better than ZS10 or ZS10 Pro for me. I also have the **** which I love for its flat response, but isn't great for details, but hadn't heard of a **** Pro yet. Heard of the TRN V90 as not as good as the Blon BL-03, but haven't heard of the others. Thanks!

I had unsubscribed from this website for ~9 months? The KZ ZS10 was my favorite with proper tips in my own ear, even better than ZS10 Pro, but the Blon BL-03 was the very first earphones out of hundreds I've preferred to use with foam tips to top the KZs. So anything new price competitive? I...

They seemed too tight when I have no finger nails to speak of. I used metal tweezers the first time, and a paper clip the second time. I scratched them a bit, but no big deal. I'm tempted to by a 10 pack for $30. They are the bassiest really good earphone for every other measure too short of a...

Not sure why I'm having difficulty getting my pictures to show as either a link or an attachment.

Here are a couple more pictures of my MH750 They have the metal outer sleave, or whatever term, like your picture, vs. the white outer sleave of the fake one. The pictures were taken with a phone held over a magnifying glass.

I might try more seriously in a few days. I'm dealing with mild dehydration from sunburn and working outdoors too long in 100 degree F heat. At least cod liver oil helps with sunburn and I'm drinking as much water as I can stand.

Trying again to attach it.

Well, I just tried. I scratched it a bit and felt I would break it if I took it further apart. I have poor vision, and have difficulty trying to focus on anything so small, so not sure if this is good enough.

I just received a MH750 from this ebay seller, and I'm 100% certain it has to be real judging by sound quality, signature, and efficiency, though I'm not going to open it up. https://www.ebay.com/itm/303179542717 That seller might be interesting for some of you because they also sell a bulk...

I think they are much more different than the ZSN and ZSN Pro difference. Mainly in the 2 KHz and 6 KHz range. Perhaps that could be the cause of the details and soundstage being slightly bigger in my ears in the original ZS10, but because of fit issues, probably not for many people.

I've definitely been enjoying the ZS10 Pro today. Though I don't consider it an upgrade to the original ZS10, except that many more people will be able to get a perfect fit and so be able to appreciate it better. Unlike the ZSN to ZSN Pro, there was a bigger change in the V-shape profile. 2 KHz...

I should probably not type while drinking more than thinking. 300 counts duplicates of the same version given or gifted to my kids and friends, and so shouldn't have used that number.I know I've bought at least 40 KZs, but only 15-20 unique ones. I still have about 150 unique IEMs and...

I have at least 300 IEMs, from $5 to $150, and the ZS10 is still the best for me, given that the large shape plus the right (non-included) tips. It is still better than my Sennheiser HD 58X, Momentum Over Ears, or anything else I've bought. But I understand your point if it doesn't fit your ears...

Ah, fellow Tourniquet fan. Comparing ZSN back and forth with AS10, for me at first, the AS10 seems a little better, but doesn't take long of listening (10 seconds) for details that I still prefer the ZSN. I think it is because of the somewhat narrow V-shape of the AS10, where it has a peak at...

I agree with the Rtings.com review that the AS10 sounds thin, but unlike them, I find the AS10 bass very disappointing. Despite non-trivial quantity, it lacks any natural impact. The thin mids, lack of bass impact, and lower treble elevation combine to make heavy metal sound horrible. EQ doesn't...

Possibly, but IMO, the ZSN is better than the AS10 by a non-trivial margin, and the ZS10 is better than the ZSN by an even larger margin, in every respect. However, it is only with the right tips where the ZS10 can fit deep in my ears. I think this blocks some port holes and makes the bass quite...

I have the C10 on the way, but I appreciate another person who can get a good fit to appreciate the ZS10, which is still meaningfully better than the AS10, Pioneer CH9T, Magaosi K3, the Sennheiser HD58X the Koss KSC75, etc. I said when the ZS10 came out, I didn't expect KZ to match it for a...

Well for 11.11, I've ordered a backup ZS10, an AS10, and a ZSN. I guess my main curiosity is how the ZSN will compare to the Uiisii CM5 for best dual hybrid deal. All I'm certain is that the KZ thread tends to overhype, and I'm glad I never bought the ZST, ZS5, or ZS6. Even the ES3, ZS4, and ES4...

For those who are considering the many dual hybrid KZs, I have the ES3, ES4, ZS4 and the UiiSii CM5 is still significatnly better than all of those. All these KZ hybrids still have a hump, not quite a spike at 12-13K that creates a short tearm clarity but long-listen pain, where the CM5 is still...

The ES4 is quite good. There is a peak at 12.5Khz that can be fatiguing, but I EQ it down and so I still find it great. But to compare, the Uiisii CM5 is still cheaper (in America on Amazon) and iks still better and a flatter, more natural response. Not that I'm complaining, as I don't think you...

Out of probably 300 earphones in my life, and about 20 broken, I've only had one break at the microphone, a KZ ED9, and yet the earphone still works, it is only the microphone and button that no longer work.

Well, I'm still comparing to hundreds of earphones and headphones I've accumulated over the past decade+, and the quantity and quality of low end is at the least equal to anything else, for those who can get a good deep fit for the ZS10. And It is definitely a quality measure as well. You can...

I think this relates to shallow tips plus deep insertion blocks some of the ports, increasing bass. If you don't do that, then yeah, it might not be basshead capable. But I also have the Trinity Phantom Master 4 and the Sony XB90, which are professional basshead approved. I think the CH9T and...
