KZ LINSOUL AS10 5BA HiFi Stereo In-Ear Earphone High Resolution Earbud Headphone with 0.75mm 2 pin Cable, Five Balanced Armature Drivers, Noise Cancelling (Without Mic, Black)

I’m a big believer in wired earphones are far better than wireless, once you get past the cable.These drivers are so punchy I never have them above 2/3 of the way up. And if I did want to the sound quality is still rock solid with no clipping.I chose the option without the mic to reduce the bulk on the cable, some times I miss not having it, but my phone seems to work just fine from its internal microphone.

Firstly,the sound quality is very pleasing. However, they are too bulky for my ears, despite trying the smallest buds,and even different buds. Unless I applied light pressure on them while in use there was zero bass response, sub or mid. Possibly due to poor fit maybe they faulty?Also, at this price point and being a flagship model I felt the build quality is pretty poor ... Very cheap and plasticy looking and feeling and NO carry pouch!Oh and the cable 😶 come on guys it's naff. Without a magnifying glass you can't see which side is left or right making attaching this naff cable a PIA ... Again very cheap and nasty quality.In comparison to my KBear K2's which fit well, sound good, have decent build quality and a better cable A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.So, I have returned them and ordered a set of Yinyoo Kbear Robins, that even come with a carry pouch

These are not nice to listen to on a chilled day, lying in the grass in the park, or commuting around town. They're not tuned pleasantly at all. So, just move on if you're looking for something to enjoy listening to music with.HOWEVER, if you're a musician, and especially a drummer looking for something that really slams what you need into your ears when you need it, yes. Absolutely this. The transient response is so sharp and dynamic that drums will easily sit right out of any mix from studio foldback to the stage. Maybe you need that clarity on your brass, or to keep the beat through your thick electric guitars - this just SLAPS and I'm struggling to find anything that can beat it for the drumming.

I found them a little bright at the top end frequencies apart from that sound quality is crystal clear and punchy.
