Hey Guns and guitar my linsoul audios did not come with a coil and so I had to use a twisty tie. Which ones have that?

Lots of skeptics are saying that these are not true neutral reference monitors, but my ears tell me otherwise, so I did some research. I posted on my Facebook and Instagram a picture of the frequency response graphs of the KZ ZSN PRO vs the Shure se215. My ears told me the ZSN pro was more neutral, and the graphs confirm it. Plus, you know, they cost 1/4 the price...check it out and see for yourself: instagram.com/p/Bx6SYKHFps8/?igshid=l92fl40mufjx

The point is that the ZSN pro, as well as every other option on this list, is a more neutral reference than anything else 3-4x the price. Are there better options out there? Yes...For $25? No.

The list: 1 - CCA C16 - $149,00 2 - TIN T3 - $69,00 3 - KZ ZS10 PRO - $50,00 4 - CCA C10 - $39,00 5 - KZ ZSN PRO - $25,00 The more you pay, more quality you get! hehe Thanks for the video! Hugs from Brazil!

I've been using Shure 215s for a couple of years and have been very happy with them, but recently had a problem with the cable so ordered a new one. Having just seen this review, on a whim, I also ordered a pair of the ZSN Pros which I got for £17, just as a backup. Have to say I had no great expectations but for the price I thought why not. They came today and they look really blocky so my expectations went even further down. But when I tried them, WOW, they're not the same standard as my Shure's, they're better!! Slightly louder but just as pure, none of the highs and lows have been lost and they have great separation. I love them. Slight downside is they felt less comfy in the ear than the Shure's but after a few minutes I didn't notice the discomfort and after wearing them for a couple of hours I feel Shure (sorry) that I'll be able to use them on a regular basis. If these are number 5 on the list the number one's must be fantastic. So a big thank you for the heads up,

I watched your first “best 5” video and while checking things out I discovered the CCA C10’s, bought a pair and loved them so much I bought a second pair for home use. Glad to see you added them to list!

For live in-ear monitoring, I've personally found that the KZ AS10s are by far the best; very loud, very clear, and enough bottom end without feeling overly bass-boosted. And yes, foam tips or correctly fitting silicone tips are THAT IMPORTANT.

For music listening I have also found them to be the best. Epically when it comes to instrument separation. Like you can pick every little detail out in the mix that you would usually miss. Got a pair of KZ ZS10 Pros thinking they may be better, after listening for a while noticed the level of detail was lost. I will say I use these for purely listening to lossless audio on my phone.

The editing in the latest videos is so good.. it's really a joy to watch

Very important fact to remember: More drivers do not equal better sound. There are many iems that use just 1 driver and sound phenomenal.

I just got the KZ ZS7s the other week, and they're phenomenal. Great bass, a little less treble, but I'm a bassist so I don't really care. I'm convinced KZ is really incredible value.

One of the most enjoyable, very clear, review I ever seen on the tube. Thank you mate.

That cable tie hack was a pure stroke of genuis.

Thanks for this mate. I'm also a bass player and lead vocalist and I've owned 3 sets of CCA C16's over the last few years. I'm yet to find anything else that comes close and I'm devastated that they no longer make them and I can no longer buy them. My only issue with them is the cable comes loose from the ear bud quite frequently. I've just purchased the KZ ZAX and the KZ-ZS10 PRO X but I'm yet to try them yet. I'll give them a go at our show tomorrow night. Thanks for taking the time to review these. I have recommended them to so many people who all went and bought them. Years ago I went through 2 sets of Shure 846's, lost the 1st set after 1 show and then replaced them and then yes them until I discovered the CCA's. They costs around 10 times as much as the CCA C16 and I think the CCA's sound way better.

i just got a ZSN Pro, really love the sound. but, i just found many people in my country having problem about this IEM and some of it's brother with similar design. It seems KZ use low quality glue for attaching the metal nozzle to the plastic body, many people had their metal nozzle broke off the plastic body, and rip the BA driver from the cable (the BA driver stick to the metal nozzle).

Listening with my BLON BL03 IEMs. I actually have KZ KZN pro as backup. I don't know why I still keep going back to using BLON

More BA drivers in reality do not always mean more sound. F.i. though the cca16 and as16 use two balanced armature drivers for the bass frequencies. However the bass frequency extension and impact on the KZ as10 with one Bass B.armature wich I have ordered too and guns & guitars likes too is considered to be a lot better. By most iem users . Besides that the KZ as16 more expensive model is considered to have better functionality than the cheaper sister company replica as hardware goes nearly identical model CCA c16.

I previously bought a pair of ZS3's about nine months ago to use as IEM's after reading reviews on Head-Fi. And I must say I was amazed. I had previously used two different sets of Shure IEM's for over ten years and was absolutely shocked at the difference the (at that time) $15 ZS3's made. Separation and clarity of the various instruments was amazing. I could hear subtleties in the mix which I had never heard before. Folks. Stop listening to internet couch jockeys who have never even heard these. Get a pair and make the comparison yourself. It made such a difference onstage that I actually hated to take them out. I cannot wait to hear what Linsoul's reference pair can do.

I've picked up some Tin T3's with a good discounted deal as I wasn't too sure if all this hype about no name Chinese IEM's was just all BS or not. I've had Shure 425s I've had Klipsch i6's which all are considered relatively "budget" in the big brand line ups. I'm going to say I'll never spend $200+ on IEM's again. The Tin T3 pretty much out perform everything I've owned for a quarter of the cost. I carry my IEM's around a lot so in the end they end up breaking connectors or cables. If I can get 1-2 years out of budget IEM's that already sound better I'm already ahead.

Thanks for this man. I just bought some CCA C10's to replace my MEE M6Pros and it's definitely an improvement(and I liked the M6Pros)

I can’t get on with foam tips at all. Recently using some FiiO FA7s and the foam tips remove practically all the low end. Maybe they aren’t sealing well in my ears but the silicone tips are far better.

Just went to order the CCAs and was confronted with the option of a mic or none. Between this and you other iem videos maybe you covered that but I must have missed it. I’m guessing no mic for using as a traditional iem?

Thanks so much, i picked up a pair of ZSNs because of you

Awesome!

Thank you, I enjoyed watching youre video and you with your immense passion, it was just great. Thanks to your awesome review I will soon call myself an owner of a great pair of IEM's! Peace and love and a LOT of great music to you!😊

Hey there! I really, really appreciate all of your information on your channel!! I came here to learn more about IEM but now I'm inspired to built a guitar cabinet, engraving it, adding cool feet...it turned out so lovely by the way! I'm having difficulty locating the discount codes. I'm going DEEP and purchasing the TIN T3's. I've been using several versions of KZ's and they've been great but, I'm the customer you mentioned that has extraordinarily tiny ears AND ear canal so by the end of every gig I've got a headache :(. Where can I see the discount codes? Hoping they're still available :)

I am definitely this type of customer as well in terms of ear canal size and shape issues. I am looking mostly to have a better quality inexpensive sounds in my ears for travel. I'm leaning towards the T3s but was turned off of them because of how poorly the T2 Pro were reviewed. I was skeptical and concerned about the T3s. I'm also super new to this and super on a budget so I'm really trying to avoid making costly mistakes.

Picked up the CCA C10s. Since I'm used to mediocre headphones, these sound excellent. And, as a bassist, I am super pleased with the DD bass response. I've used them on a handful of gigs so far and they actually seem to better than my bandmates shures

Yeah man, they blow shure out of the water. And for way less money. Glad you love them!

It can be hard to find someone that actually knows what they're talking about when it comes to audio. Glad I found this channel, subscribed.

Really enjoy your videos and have actually used your info/opinion to help make purchase decisions. I know they may not all be as budget conscious, but I would really like to hear your take on the MEE Audio Pro in-ear monitors. Thanks for what you do and keep it up!

I have the MX3 and MX4. I love the fit, I like the fact that they're interchangeable and offer so many extras and options. The memory foams are a requirement as far as I'm cncerned. The 3s do the job they're stated to, they definitely have boosted mids. That being said, I'm a singing electric guitarist, and I absolutely prefer the 4s. While the 3s do punch in the mids, I was missing too much treble. The 4s have what I was looking for. I think the 3s would work great for a lead vocalist. I will admit, I have lost some hearing over the years. I'm your stereotypical "deaf" guitarist. As always, YMMV. But I would recommend spending the extra $50 and getting the MX4.

There are some good review videos about this subject but you stepped it up big time. It's gotta be the best on it.

Your videos have helped me choose IEMs a lot. Have to save up for those C10s or T3s :)

I was puzzled about the best IEM at Ali Express at 70-150$, so I found by chance your videos that helped me out. Subscribed and Like. 👍 continued my friend

I love that you do this!!! I don't recall if you've done a similar video for cans. I'm finding myself needing to get hearing aids and I'm not sure how that will work with IEM's. I've always used cheap Sony or JVC's with the Avioms because I had no idea these wonderful values existed!! Thank you so much for what you do for us :)

I’m trying to get some over ear studio headphones for a future video, but that’s proving more difficult. Everyone is pushing IEM’s these days.

If your hearing is damaged I would look into IEM's with balanced armatures specifically. Their tech was derived from hearing aids and they produce sound differently than a regular driver. They also isolate better so you don't have to listen as loud. Additionally, many have a more subtle bass response, which means that turning them up won't blow out the low end of your hearing. A lot of the recommendations floating around here have poor mids and strong bass and highs, so if you turn them up to get more mids (essential for most monitoring use) you may be damaging your low and high sensitivity as they will be much louder in comparison. Depending on what range of your hearing is struggling I'd suggest the Shure 425 (mid focus), Sennheiser IE40 (high focus - not great isolation though) or the Shure 215 SPE (special edition - Bass focus) - The 425 and 215 are dynamic driver so they can move a lot of air - the 215 SPE specifically could probably damage one's low-end sensitivity quickly, caution recommended.

@@antiduckable Have you tried them before? They come with several tip sizes in the foam. The Etymotic ER3XR are a good option too so long as modest bass response is OK. The foam tips of both of these can be rolled very small to get into the ear, but having a small canal may mean more pressure on the canal as the foam expands. The Etymotic sits deeper though so that can be a problem. I'd try the 215 or see if you can find some Shure foam tips somewhere so you can see how they compress and expand first hand.

@@ReddenDoom Sorry, I got the terms wrong. I incorrectly used 'ear canal' to describe the part of the ear that IEM's sit in; mine is really small, but I did have the SE215 and I had to force them and it would literally take about 10 minutes before it got quite painful because it felt like my ear was being stretched by the actual driver unit. Definitely going to give that ER3XR a go though! They look perfect and will hopefully sound perfect. Thank you.

Can't wait to show the C10s to the band that I mix for. Its going to blow their minds how cheap they are

This is the one I've been waiting for! I have some Shure 215s and have been wanting to see what else is out there!

I am sound engineer by trade but also play guitar and sing. I was looking at the kz as10's, but am now wondering about the kz as16s and the cca c16s. What are your thoughts with those three. The as16s and c16s are roughly the same price. Any info between those three? Thanks.

I love and use the c16’s as my personal reference monitors. They don’t sound awesome listening to music, but as reference monitors for playing live, they are incredible. Huge sound stage. Neutral response. Just excellent. I honestly haven’t tried the a16’s. The AS10’s are a good all around solid choice. They are great for listening as well as reference. They are a good middle ground.
