KZ-AZ10 | Unboxing & Review

[@jaruce.creates]

for clarification, the added function from the AZ09 to the AZ10 is the spacious mode which gives it like your in a car or concert hall stage, I think you have described the modes a little bit off, 3 taps on the right module activates high performance mode which only drop downs the latency which is good for when playing games, 3 taps again on the right activates spacial mode which can somehow be used in gaming (more expirementing as I have DOLBY ATMOS on and GAME MODE of Samsung) and videos or movies, and when 3 taps on the left module, it goes to full power mode which somehow boosts audio, like increases frequency or volume (if thats the right words), different from High Performance Mode. Thats what I have noticed from my AZ10 and AZ09. Improved connection too

[@ianfann]

Yes it’s what you have just said, here are main differences between the 09 and the 10 : AZ09 Realtek Solution Dual Mode AZ09 PRO Qualcomm solution Dual mode AZ10 Realtek Solution Three modes BTX Qualcomm Dual Mode

[@arturdutra98]

your video is probably the frist one who spoke about the mic. tyvm

[@iam_joshua_bcxvii]

Didnt knew of the AZ10s before I bought my AZ09 Pro, primary thing I noticed though is the lack of APTx on the AZ10 vs the AZ09 Pro. I wonder how does the AZ09 Pro compare with the AZ10 really.

[@amielvillareal7168]

Hi, can you please do a review on the differences between AZ09, AZ09 Pro and AZ10? 😊

[@ianfann]

i only have the AZ09 and AZ10, i don't have the AZ09 pro and i already compared the AZ09 and the AZ10 in my video

[@lordzed83]

BTW normal az09 also got high performance and full power modes on 3 taps of each side. So all you actually gain is 3d sound.

[@ianfann]

and also the az10 can change to low latency mode which the az09 doesn't have.

[@adamflyshotmail]

I have a pair of AZ09s, they have the low latency mode but no simulated surround sound & no mic. I think.

[@ianfann]

Az09 or az09 pro?

[@bufosp]

@@ianfann i have az09 and az09 pro. confirmed both have low latency mode.

[@ianfann]

Hmm i remember the az09 having the Low latency mode…

Have you try pairing KZ ZSX with AZ10? Does it sound nice? I listen to acoustic and classical genre! Will it work well with iphone 13 pro max?

[@terrykemp8131]

A comprehensive review of the KZ-AZ10. A definite improvement on the original.

[@ianfann]

Thanks!

[@NoobGaming-td9mw]

Hey ! I was thinking to buy it for my TANGZU Wan'ER SG and TRIPOWIN PICCOLO... Will it pair perfectly?

[@rattslayer]

How is the Connection stability? my AZ09's drop out a lot, or they go slightly out of sync for a couple seconds before going back into sync.

[@2121pl1]

Nice when you did the as 20s that you actually said how they sounded not just how to cut the tips off of them how did they sound??? Kz 20

[@nathanlopes1327]

The spatial effect it's similar to the airpods one? Like when you move your head the sound stays in place

[@ianfann]

Nope, it’s a different effect from airpods, this one is more of adding effects sonically instead of technically, if that makes sense.

[@nathanlopes1327]

@@ianfann so it's like dolby atmos or something

[@ianfann]

hmm, something like that

[@venomfure]

Does the Az10 have Qualcomm Qcc3040 chip like the Az09 Pro. I'm in the midst of comparing the 2. Not sure which to get

[@ianfann]

it's not stated in the specs on what chip is inside so not sure on this.

It fits with a DQ6? What wireless you recommend me and Earphone of KZ? I'm a beginner in this universe, I hear Rap, techno, trap, progressive, they recommend me a DQ6 and the AZ09, also fits?

Thanks

[@ianfann]

No problem

[@alouisschafer7212]

Those paired to the ZS10 Pro for example must be the wireless audiophile dream. In fact I think that setup would replace my Galaxy Buds Plus. They are great wireless earbuds but their sound does not satisfy me anymore. You have to use the Dynamic EQ Preset for them to not sound like the cheap wired earbuds phones usually come with. This is not ideal because having to use an EQ preset for me to hear everything these earbuds would simply not properly reproduce without EQ is not optimal. You cant artificially create treble detail and bass using EQ when the drivers simply wont do it properly on their own. So should I buy this?

[@ianfann]

I have the AZ09 and it has many connectivity problems. Does the AZ10 solves all connectivity problems on the AZ09?

[@ianfann]

So far I don’t have any connectivity issues with the az10

[@hatdog703]

Does the az10 sometimes drop the sound like the az09 does?(cause mine does). What do you think about dt300 vs aria in soundstage?

[@ianfann]

so far i have walked around with it and my phone in my pant's back pocket, no drop signal so far so good.

[@lordzed83]

You tried different mobiles? From my expirience it's phone dependant not adapters. Got 3 phones and only one drops signal from az09 and Pro version also.

[@jb678901]

I am pairing the AZ09 Plus to my Samsung Galaxy S10+ without any drop-off issue while in unobstructed ~10m range. Phone is set to HD audio quality. The AZ09 Plus is using BT5.2 with QCC3040 chipset, which I understand is quite solid in terms of signal quality. I assume the AZ10 would have at least similar performance to the AZ09 Plus; However, the AZ09Plus does specifically advertise QCC3040 and aptxHD codec, while both the AZ10 and the AZ09 do not. Unclear if this is a spec difference or just product positioning/advertising. Also, when paired to my PC with PCIE AX200 BT 5.0 card, the AZ09 Plus has very good connectivity without drop off interference.

[@lordzed83]

@@jb678901 simple az10 does not use 3040 so does not have APTX. So az09 pro is still better than az10.

[@alexmontanus]

The AZ09 has been horrible for me. Charging is very unreliable. Sometimes the earbuds will seat in the case for hours and not charge. The connection is pretty weak. I can't even put the phone in my pocket. What's the point of bluetooth 5.2 if I can't maintain a connection even a few feet away? I'm definitely not buying anything other than a name brand next time.

Does spatial audio improve sound stage and seperation while listening to music?

It will give you sense where the room becomes bigger and wider. It’s a digital effect that is added to the sound being produced.

How does the performance of the AZ10 compared with the AZ09 Pro? In terms of pricing, I think the AZ10 would be closer to the AZ09 Pro than the AZ09, thus making the AZ09 Pro a fairer comparison.

[@ianfann]

i don't have the AZ09 pro to compare so a bit hard to answer your question but i would say the ability to change modes is the advantage of the AZ10

[@jb678901]

Both are BT5.2 , AAC/SBC, TWS+. Both have high performance (game/low latency) mode [3 clicks right], Both have high power mode [3 clicks left]. AZ10 has an additional spatial mode. Both use the skin friendly and softer silicone earhook. Most of the buttons controls are the same. Both have same battery capacity on earhook and case. AZ09Pro has the less flashy silver-white KZ logo on black design without the fluorescent green colors of the AZ10. Also, the AZ09 Pro buttons are same as non-pro AZ09 and smaller than buttons on AZ10. AZ09Pro advertises CVC and aptxHD with QCC3040 chipset. AZ10 does not advertise these features. AZ10 has spatial audio feature, AZ09 Pro does not. I chose to buy a second set of the AZ09Pro at only US$26 on discount (first set cost me $37). Almost half the price of the AZ10.
