KZ ZS10 Pro In Ear Monitor Earbuds vs MoonDrop Aria

Sometimes I have to seat the cable firmly but still fit good with the right tips. These have worked-out good for the last half year. Was using different type of economical headphones at first, (ATH-M40x, Sony 7506, Phillips SHP-9500, BeyerDynamics DT-770). All are pretty good, but my ears would still ring after playing e-drums for a couple hours

It's not all positive however, the Moondrop Aria's can cause some ear tenderness after hours of wearing. Changing the eartips out to custom ones doesn't really help much, but it can if you find an eartip that really works well for you. I think this tenderness is due to the metal casing that is used, but I can't complain too much about them being metal because it'll add durability and make them last longer. If you're looking for a great pair of earbuds under $100 for the gamer or audiophile in your life, this is an excellent pair of earbuds for them

I would compare the sound signature very similar with the TRN V80 (closest comparison IMO) with the exception of the low-end extension. It seems the ZS10 was lacking a bit on the low-end extension and bass punch compared to the V80's, but the margin is very minimal and both excel for this price range IEM. Both feel pretty weak in the high-mids and don't give proper justice to instruments like violin or certain EDM sounds. I'd go into more depth but after just about 5 hours of constant listening, I took them out to let my ears breath

This time the right channel made a soft pop. Now the earphone that I do have barely gets to a listenable level at full volume on my phone and has the same tinny-ness as the left. The quality control of these units is awful and the process of getting anything about it fixed at all is more of a hastle and wait than I am willing to go through again (keep in mind it's been three months since I've recieved the headphones and not only are neither working properly anymore, but half of that time was spent with only one earphone anyway). Update: The company happily and swiftly issued a refund at request after a breif explanation, so it is at least easy to get refunds/replacements, and for that I give them credit

I’m still on the fence with these. I owned an older model, and they fit great, but the attaching cables kept coming unplugged. Bought these hoping for an upgrade, and they sound a bit better, but I do not like the fit. They are uncomfortable and they don’t give a good seal, due to them not fitting in my ear as well as the older, smaller KZs I had

If you are going to find any decent in-ear/earbuds, it's worth to give this a try blindly if you don't know anything at all, I bet you won't regret about it. The only one small thing that maybe different from one to another, is that the comfortabilty. I'm not sure what causes it, but this can't stay in my ear at a long time, compared to the Moondrop Quarks, which is one of the smallest and cheapest In ear, but it has a muddy mid which I don't really like. But since it's has a really good price, I can't complain about this at all

But, if you are trying to enjoy the entire range of sound in a balanced fashion, this is not for you. Don't even try to use it to monitor a Bass guitar as it will completely overload the drivers, and the sound will clip and horribly distort.

Basically, when I'm wearing them, only the tips are in and not the body, so I'll be sending them back. Before I purchased the T3 Plus, by the bunch of reviews and comments I've heard and read about the Moondrop Aria's, they seem like a good upgrade from the Blon's because of the similar warm balanced tuning. However, I'm still concerned about the fit since their size looks similar to the T3 Plus' and definitely those paint chipping issues.

For the price you cannot beat these if you are a bass player that needs IEMs. Good bass, very loud and clean sound. In addition, the way they designed the earpiece makes it easy to put on and keep in your ear. Again you can spend 20 times the amount to buy custom molded IEMs but these are amazing for the price

Very Clean with a real nice clarity to them. It’s definitely balanced over all, nothing is trying to out do the other frequencies, though there is a little lift in the bass and in the treble region, the mid range seems pretty level and maybe a pinch upper mid lift as well, as the vocals come in nicely as well with no recess. For me, this isn’t my favorite tuning, but I will say the tuning is done pretty excellent for what they went after, and add the price in, these are a bargain without a doubt, though I do like the Starfields a touch better, though they’re almost identical, I like the color and shape of the Starfield, and I think the Soundstage is just a smudge larger and more precise, which with them I can really get lost with my eyes close pinpointing where the sounds are, not that these can’t, they can, just slightly less, but factor in the cost, you can’t go wrong with these. I do get a craving for more bass with these, as it just seems not enough, though I do get a natural feel to the sounds with them, in though when I listen to Classical Rock, such as AC/DC “Thunderstruck”, the guitar comes in nicely with the vocals, and then the drums kick in, all is clear and clean, I just feel like I want more Mmmmph! to it, some more meat, as it sounds a little lean, even though everything comes in nicely
