State of California, absurd laws that prevent people from being punished for petty theft ($950).
So crime does pay, well in California anyway.

I was in a seven 11 in Baltimore. These two guys came in, drank lots of soda, ate candy bars etc, through all the crap on the ground and walked out. CCTV everywhere and the staff saw them and did nothing.

Anyone has both the KZ AZ10 and AZ09 Pro? I'm planning to get one module for regular portable usage. Are differences between them significant, if so then what? Because in my country, I'm getting AZ10 almost $10 cheaper than AZ09 Pro.

Appreciate your views on this. Thanks in advance.

AZ10 is more a gaming version. The Pro has aptX and adaptive codecs, 2 hours more battery, and a couple who tried both liked the sound better on the Pro. Not sure if it was related to the chip sounding different in general or the better codecs were involved in that. Just read those comments but did not delve into cause more battery and better codecs would make the choice easy for me so no need to ask for particulars.

Hello guys,

I have the KZ ZAX and I wonder if there is a new model of wired iem by KZ which is better than the ZAX.
Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks!

I think if you find yourself satisfied with ZAX then it's unnecessary to buy newer KZ. If you really want to upgrade maybe you should check other brands

I don't want to change brand because I tried several iem and sound systems brands and the quality of sound of the KZ is very very in line with the top brands which cost 10-20 times more. I will stay with KZ.

Hmm depend on your taste actually. Under 50$, kz is king but above that isn't. For classical, yes, other genres, no. There is a lot of iem that better than kz actually but again, it depend on your taste. I like harman so kz more like mixed bag to me
Edit: try some more iem if you can. Like what i did switching from ZAX/ZSN pro to Moondrop Spaceship/SSR

If you want to try a good hybrid, KZ's sister brand CCA offers some good options such as CA16, CKX, CA16 Pro. In my opinion, the CKX is preferable to the ZAX.
