```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.
