Last month I was just a Bus Driver
This month I’ve decided I’m a Bus Driver Pro Max

Answer: yes. Every recommendation of his I’ve gotten, have all lived up to his hype.

Hey there! I bought these earbuds after seeing Dankpods recommend them, and as someone who is new to the whole audiophile thing, I think they're a fantastic introduction. I've been listening to a cheap set of $10 buds from Wal-mart for a few years at this point (not counting when I'm at my PC, where I use a more expensive gaming headset), and I was blown away by the sound quality of these buds in comparison.

For anyone in the position of looking for something a step up from your average, cheap buds, I'd say these are a fantastic option.

the kz zsn pro x is actually the 3rd installment of the zsn series.

kz zsn > kz zsn pro > kz zsn pro x

Oi, a nitpicker here and a guy that understands music. I bought them because dank recommended them and was curious. Best purchase of IEMs ever. For the price they sound incredibly good. When I put them too loud the highs do pierce my ears but I dont need them set to loud to listen to music and feel like im live in the studio where they're recording. Tested the soundstaging and for the price it's pretty good. They do it perfectly well, prominent enough to notice it and enjoy it while making the sound velvet and smooth adequately for the price. Im quite happy with how they sound and the sound engineering that went in them to make it like that. Money well spent.

Dankpods have a nice sense of humor, and great nicknames for those raycans i mean ray cons. He's got a fairly consistent uploading schedules, and there's quite a few gems in his channel (beans). Also, what do you think of raycons?

I don't want to doubt on dank but I'm too broke to take a chance 😭😭

Glad I found your content from the Dankpods name drop. Good and interesting review!

[Gheno]

Got a pair of ZS10PROs, I'm extremely happy with them.

[rdrgz]

I bought them and I don’t regret anything, sound great, and these pair actually got me into listen to all my music again, I’ve found so many new sounds in my music, thanks to the kz zen pros. Thanks DankPods.

Hearing through KZ ZS10 pro bought a year back. The subtle BGM used in this video is smooth and so pleasant.

[BrunodeSouzaLino]

It's impossible for any frequency response line to be flat. Manufacturers use very large divisions like 20 dB per vertical division and 3rd octave smoothing. As per bass response, it's physically impossible for drives that small to have good bass. They would have to move too much comparing to a larger driver and require more voltage to be driven.

Dankpods turned me into an audiophile. I went from rocking gaming headsets to using some Planar Magnetics because of his vids

[a.i.a]

Been watching dankpods for about a year now, always enjoy his humor and every buying decision his videos have influenced on my wallet have not disappointed.

[aycfes]

as a side note, thanks to the detachable cables, you can buy little modules that attach there and canvert the KZs to be wireless

[gilbs]

KZ and sister CCA are amazing value for money. I feel that for decades, we've been paying too much for sound. "KZ" also corresponds to founders Keith Yue, a former Audio-Technica engineer, and Zen Li, a Western-trained classical musician.
I picked the CCA C12 which are great without being too "tiring" for hours of listening.

[bioethan]

I'm not much of a audiophile myself, but I can vouch for KZ. Between me and my dad (who is the true audiophile of the family) we have 4 KZ products that so far have been the best bang for your buck in our opinion (those products being a Zs10, As10, S1 and S2).

Although they aren't without issues mainly the wireless earphones (S1) having interference issues between phone and earphone. Overall, great video and I look forward to see what's next.

[cheeks]

Really good reviews! I'm new to the audio world so you including the graph really helped me visualize what you meant

[RubenCarvalhoPT]

For an old fellow, you do bring something new to this hobby. I like your approach to the reviews, keep it up.

[JeanMarceaux]

Well, I already did trust DankPods and purchased them phones.
They're pretty fine, I wasnt blown away by the drums texture like I was with my Marshall Mode, but the bass is punchy and the highs are well pronounced.
