@Windatica its ok someone on head-fi woke up
```I had said a while ago I wanted to skip the the ZS10 - and then caved in again. When the ZS10 were announced, Coil speculated they would be at around $30 and I put them at $80. As a trend, KZ earphones have become more expensive with every driver added. Gone are the $5 days...at least of new models. Now we are actually heading towards the $80 region.
And that's how it always appears to go:
1. KZ, often through the phonograph, announce a new model.
2. There is lots of talk and speculation on discussion lists without any knowledge about them.
3. This generates a hype.
4. Sellers run a pre-sale at really good prices.
5. People like me get sucked in.
6. IEM is officially released at a substantially higher price than pre-sale.
7. Early adopters rave about the new iem or they don't...both typically happens.
8. The hype dies down.
9. Some anniversary sale gives the cost conscious a second chance to get a good price.
10. The next model is announced...hype, speculation etc. set in once again.
11. "Old" model price drops by 30% permanently, three months after its release.
12. Presale and sale of the latest model, "old" model added to the drawer with the other 15 KZ hybrids.
13. etc. etc.

you don't even have to be woke, just buy a brand name cheap iem and realize how bad kz is
kz have some amazing hype machine lmao
for a brand that just creates crap it's amazing they're still so popular
i mean, a $8 stagediver SOUNDS interesting, even if its bad
a $16 andro sounds interesting even if it bad
im gonna buy the new kz though
8ba!!!
i've just gotta try them
haha
wtf I thought kz was supposed to be good
no
its hype\
they were good at first
and are still good
if you need a 4$ iem
cept from that don't bother
they need to stick to dd
don't obther with any of the hybrids
2 ears 2 drivers 2 genders
I'll remember to get them when I need disposable iems then
