I bought a set of the KZ ZS 10 Pros after watching one of your videos. I use them every time I sit down to practice. Thank you for the hook up! Keep up the amazing work!

[@paradiddle5150]

Who's tha drum sensei?! Rob Brown! Thanks Dr. Brown, for another informative and quality video. I love how you're always behind your kit when you're teaching us. I've noticed that alot of drummers will talk about the drums in a bedroom. Most do so in front of a camera, w/o a kit present, which takes away from the comfortable (percussive) environment. That's my opinion.

[@michaeldeloach838]

Thanks man, I'm convinced. I'll be placing an order. I need to get a pair of in ears. Getting back into gigging again soon after a long hiatus. Great channel dude, keep up the good work. Your chops are amazing bro

[@drewsmith1748]

thanks for the update beatdown - I've been amazed with my kz s10's in studio and am about to put my order in for these :)

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

Nice. You’ll dig em

[@dwaynewladyka577]

This was really cool! Cheers, Rob! ✌️🥁

[@pjamestx]

Just ordered a pair straight from their store, looking forward to trying them out, thanks!

[@PJJTremblay]

Still use my ZSTs ... bought based on Beatdown's recommendation ... love ... great for everyday use!!! Bought the cable upgrade as well ... I will check out ZEX when next in the market!!

[@hairyd61]

I’ve bought two pairs based on your video Rob. Thanks very much for the heads up.

[@florencemiller3967]

Thanks for the review. I can't wait to choose this KZ brand.

[@bobbyfinn5406]

I just watched the last two vids you made on these guys and I bought the pro 10’s. A little more @ 60ish, but came with the better 4 core cord. If you say it’s good, I will support them AND you, sir! Gonna grab some merch this week, also. Cuz it’s cool, that’s why! (Testing for wife)😂😎

[@robertbelanger6733]

Thanks for the in ear Monitor tips👍🏻🤘🏻🥁

[@stevzzstevzz7989]

Just started using these… They are great!!! Much better then other very expensive in ears..

[@gfunkkowboy]

Happy Friday Rob

[@strugglebmx]

I bought the zst’s I did love them, but I unfortunately do have a smaller ear. They were bulky and I found myself fumbling with them while at gigs. Killer ears, just unfortunate circumstance for me…..hope this is helpful to anyone else that has smaller ears. Love the content bro!!

[@donnacompton4894]

Me too!

[@HaydesGrooves]

Rob you done it again. Another purchase by me based on your review. KZ ZS10 pros now these. Thank you sir.

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

You’ll dig these 👌🏽

[@HaydesGrooves]

I'm digging the price so far. Lol. Thank you brother.

[@RCBtrips]

Thanks for the review. I use this on my e-drums. 👍

[@MannyScoot]

Thanks for the tip.....I just bought the KZ Crinacle model X Pro.......and they sound amazing ......

[@DrDrewdude]

Bought them! I go through in-ears like crazy, thanks for this!

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

I've never had a pair..soon I will though ! LOL - why do you go through so many? Do you lose them or break them?

[@DrDrewdude]

@@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777 some reason one side will go out on me. Doesn’t matter the brand.

[@user-br4pg7ne5r]

Thank you for what you do. God has blessed you to teach and convey drums in an awesome way. I bought the KZ s10 pros and I love them. I am wanting to purchase wireless KZ ear buds. Have you reviewed any of this type and what is your opinion of them? They will be used for drumming and a teaching aid for myself with listening to music with my students.

[@fastfiddler1625]

Man. I just bought a pair of the VF SIH2 head clamps to supplement my Shure SE215s that never seem to want to sound good or stay in my ears and protect my hearing. Definitely checking these out.

[@zim1966]

You got me sold on Kz ears a few years ago i buy them in pairs when I do. Loving the Tribal elder look you got there Beatdown (Grey)Brown

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

🧙‍♂️

[@Leaa1111]

Hi Rob, Do you still recommend this model monitor or is there a newer better model you suggest? Thanks love your content!🙏

[@sticknestrat76]

Gday love your channel wondering please the best cable for KZ /CCA iems upgrade as my original cable seems a bit short when playing drums.Thanks from South Australia 😀

[@donnacompton4894]

Hey Rob could you do a video on custom in ears? ( or recommendations) For Canucks? I have a hard time with fit too.

[@denzelthebright3725]

Hey Rob, I was wondering if you ever tried any custom molded iems like alclair or ultimate ears and if so how they might compare in quality to the kz's👀

[@Ice-dl1yt]

You should make a now comparrison between all the KZ products you have (ZST, ZS10 pros, AS10s, etc)

[@jacksonprice3051]

Hey Rob, know you mentioned you're using these for church. Recommend for any general live gig? (Bar, club, etc) -- Drumming in gigs with backing tracks/clicks. Thoughts?

[@McLeod220]

Hi there! Could you please help me? I am very confused. I did some research and found “two” manufacturers. Is “Knowledge Zenith” the same than “Linsoul”? Which one is the genuine brand? Finally, which model is the best right know for drummers? Thank you all.

[@adriansympson]

rob you're just a class act, man. i'm wondering - out of all the KZs you've tried, what would you say has the most flat response? like the best maybe for mix comparisons?

[@pabloemoran]

I have tried KZs and TRNs. TRN are more flat in general.

[@JRG369]

Hey man! Love your videos! What monitors do you have there?

[@pikachuclasico2366]

Got it with your link thx man

[@vimfuego8827]

Excellent

[@barrybebenek8691]

Does the Yinyoo upgraded 8 core wire (explained in another if you KZ reviews), work on these as a direct fit?

[@bobweber4140]

Thanks bro 😎

[@marcus_mayhem]

Yeah I don't know what foam earpieces to buy. I used mine the other day with my acoustic kit and I had to crank the click so high, I did hurt my ears a bit. Could someone please send me a link. Thanks 😊 PS, love your channel Rob ❤️

[@markbrown309]

Do you like the KEX or the 10pros better.

[@arjunsajeev3406]

Is kz zex or zsn pro x better which one is gud for stage giging and for listening music from phone

[@MrLenn]

Dope! What about the zex pro?

[@antidotetochaos5811]

Did you upgrade to a 8 core cable?

[@thebuds956]

I just bought the kz from the last in ear video Rob😭😭😭bout to order these too💪💪

[@pamelatrowbridge3607]

I love mine

[@Hotsauce-cj7kj]

Just a random, I’m breaking down Rob Brown. I’ve done my research on electric drums and I’ve narrowed it down to the Alesis Strike Pro SE. Have you any info/advice before my ‘soon to be’ purchase? OF COURSE I’d rather be buying an acoustic kit! But I live in a condominium. My acoustic kit is back in B.C. Anyway brother, I absolutely love your channel. Incredible KZbin persona. Thanks for all.

[@andybdrumming2191]

You will probably regret it. Most do and others will lie to justify their purchase. Hi hat issues from most people I talked to. Tried one myself and it felt like an expensive toy. I didn't want a toy. Go for Quality over quantity and stick with Roland or Yamaha. Also check out 65 Drums here on KZbin.

[@Hotsauce-cj7kj]

@@andybdrumming2191 thanks man. I took a few rips on it at the music store and I quite liked it, EXCEPT for the hi-hat; the fact that the bell had no bell sound to it. But thanks again. The search continues. We’ll see what happens.

[@robertthompson5568]

You might want to see if Roland has something in a similar price range. I've heard some horror stories about those Alesis kits but technology moves so fast they might be better now???

[@maeu59]

See if you can get a used Roland a td-17 or 20. I have a td-12 and even though it’s 12 years old it’s really all you need. The hi hats are always an issue with these electronic kits.

[@ayeapprove]

The only thing that really makes the Sure SE215 so much better are the memory foam tips that just completely seal your ears off to outside noise, do you have any tips that do the same for the KZs?

[@rasmysamy2145]

You can use the Shure tips, or the Comply tips, and KZ also sells sets of foam tips for 3$

[@LISTEDGames]

If you want good iems get moondrop (most of their lineup) or 7hz timeless

[@pabloemoran]

Brother Rob. Would you recomend me KZ ZEX or TRN V90? Or any other new model? Recentely discover by you? I bought V80s too years a Go base on your recomendations and I love them but I lost the leftone. Saludos from Quito - Ecuador!

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

The V90’s are still my favourite budget pro ears of the 30+ models I’ve reviewed. Best full range and best fit 🏆

[@mdlassel]

second pair of kz zs10 pros died recently. wanna try something new, gonna get these 💯

[@slnsb]

Mine died too after 2 years and 1 month... I did't used them that much. Probably 2-3 hours a week. I'm not so fond of the ear piercing high frequencies and the durability

[@Mrjazzzery]

Can you please record the Christmas production again I really enjoy watching them

[@EmoEmu]

Does seem like KZ often treads a fine line between fun and gaudy looks.

[@terryreilley]

How do these compare to the ZS10 Pro? I use them at home and in worship performances.

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

I use the 10Pro in the studio. Still great ears. You might notice a bit more volume and crisper highs with the ZEX. I like these a lot.

[@terryreilley]

@@RobBeatdownBrown - Awesome, thanks!!!

[@SchwappSchwopp]

Should I buy the KZ ZS10 Pro instead? The KZ ZEX you are recommending are not available in Germany yet. There are also available the KZ ZSN Pro X, what about these?

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

The 10Pros are still great ears. I use those in my studio. No issues

[@SchwappSchwopp]

@@RobBeatdownBrown thx Rob!

[@alvaroruizruiz7538]

So If you had to choose between the zex or the trn v90 which one would you choose? I had cca csn which happen to share the same shape as the zex pro and I must say that they gave the best fit I've tried for drumming but I ended up losing them :/

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

I’ve reviewed a ton of budget-pro ears but the V90s have always held the top spot for me

[@alvaroruizruiz7538]

@@RobBeatdownBrown interesting... Just to be clear, you refer to the V90 model and not the more recent V90S right?

[@TheStemo1]

Rob - how do these hold up with a large band? Playing at church, we'll have two keyboards, acoustic, electric, multiple singers. My current chifi distorts if they get pushed too hard. How do these hold?

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

The headroom is nice on these with no noticeable distortion. Give ‘em a shot

[@TheStemo1]

@@RobBeatdownBrown Thanks for the reply. How do they compare to the ZS10 Pro?

[@maeu59]

@@TheStemo1 that’s what I would like to know.

[@SchwappSchwopp]

@@maeu59 did you test both yet? I'd like to know that too because I've got the ZS10 pro aswell

[@maeu59]

@@SchwappSchwopp I only have zs10 pro, they have the original ear buds which aren’t very noise isolating. I need to upgrade to the foam but they are really overpriced for what they are.

[@KyleRapanut]

New drummer here. Can you use these as headphones for E-Drums? My headphones suck.

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

Of course

[@TonyGellaDrums]

I tryin two models from china brand CCA. CCA-C10, CCA-C16.. 10 and 16 drivers.. Good volume, cristal sound.. Still using like monitor. Quality mutch better, when Shure 315, or higher.. dont know why. Also mutch cheaper. I know KZ similar manufacturer. Thank you Rob for info.. I need add this KZ’s to my collection.. Lowest price on Ali.

[@guitarplayer1969]

I have been using the CCA-C10s for over a year. CCA is sister company to KZ, just a little higher quality with metal construction.

[@robertthompson5568]

I started playing way back before I every saw anyone wearing anything in thier ears. I never had any problems and thought they were pretty unnecessary. Now I'm 50 and I have pretty noticeable hearing loss in my right ear along really bothersome tinnitus in both...just saying!

[@drumbum.ireland]

Dammit! More new shopping to do! 😂

Of course

Have you tried the KZ Zas ?

[@jimmackraz2734]

boom.

[@LovroSabljak]

I agree.. But I found a fix.. I just covered the tiny port on the bottom with tape and all boom and bloat was gone and they sound much better.. honestly I was suprised almost no review mentioned it..

[@EdgyEmoLoliconBoy]

zs10 pro or zex?

Mmmmmmm how about checking on the latest product from KZ called KZ ZEX PRO. Compared ZS10 pro to Zex probably Zs10 pro have better Bass , details.

Thanks for the review.. for $20 they are in my cart. 20hz to 40hz.. uh that's swanky. for those that don't understand that even though you don't perceive above 20khz.. it fills in the picture - like an art oil painting that WASN'T UNDERPAINTED (look it up) .. it's just surface if you don't have the full spectrum.. you don't 'see' the underpainting on the oil portrait but it's an important step to the end result of how it looks.. don't be fooled by the rhetoric that you can throw out information in audio above 20khz..that's a scam brought to you by the compression people. It's a good idea for radio but not for full dynamic range of audio. No Jazz recording would be anything without those extended frequencies .. unless you're going for trash dischordant jazz I guess.
