exposing the iem to heat will likely allow the water to evaporate over time. the danger comes from running an electric current whilst there is still water.

not bad audio quality, he said

worth checking out current market leading iems too. the airpods are not very impressive compared to contemporary $20 iem options, which you might find hard to believe.

is providing genuine feedback being an “asshole”? these are just opinions after all, its not like anyones being rash and just hating on these products for the sake of hating. a rhetoric of ‘just enjoy lol’ is terrible when there are objectively wayyy better options for the same price it took to purchase all of these, especially when the consumer is new and un- knowledgeable about the market. its worth it to just do the research or receive feedback, its what drives the market forward and pushes for innovation. i understand that if OP enjoys his purchase, then good for him, but dont try and sugar coat things whilst undermining the importance of feedback and adverse opinions.

it is not tuned basically identically to the chu. sure it has a pretty similar gain and body, but the difference in the treble response will sound very different.

you are not even close lol. a $200 iem upgrade will probably be night and day from the kz zs10 pro, maybe even with the $80 hexa, or a $20 waner, let alone an end game iem or headphone.

for example, crinacle rates the zs10 pro as a C tier iem, whilst rating the Moondrop Chu as a B tier iem and the Letshuoer S12 as a B+. the difference between the Chu and S12 makes the Chu sound low fidelity, granted however, i believe the chu is overrated and should probably be closer to C+ in the current market. The Variations is another iem i have spent quite some time with, and with crinacle rating it an A+, it is again night and day compared to the s12 in sound quality. the disparity between the chu - s12 - variations is pretty sizeable imo, with each sounding leagues better than the other, ie chu is 4/10, s12 is 7/10 and variations is 9/10, and i know you cant really quantify audio but variations certainly sounds more than twice as good as chu. so, with you on the zs10 pro, an end game level iem or headphone will definitely be quite the sizeable upgrade, probably the same level if difference between a $2 supermarket earbud and ur zs10 pros in the first place. i think diminishing returns only truly begin after like the variations, where id be surprised if you can squeeze much of a difference, though i havent tried anything more pricey than it.

if i were you, id really recommend getting a budget fi option like the tangzu waner, it is probably a sizeable upgrade from the zs10 pro, if crins ratings are to be referenced.

sharur?

I own both and I prefer the Zeros. I actually bought the 7Hz as a gift for a friend, but i decided to get my own pair when i heard them. For me at least, the stage is wider, and the upper mids and treble sounds more detailed. Also I like the tuning a lot more, though i still like a 3db bump to the bass.
