Well, I tried a set of KZ ZAX and wasn’t keen on them to be honest and I sold them on. The bass guitar wasn’t distinct enough IMHO, too deep with not enough note clarity. I ordered a set of ZS12 Pro X’s which are a lot better for bass guitar, and more recently a set of KZ ZAR’s which was my...

Perhaps the wired option sounded ‘better’ as you don’t get any white noise or other artefacts?

My most expensive bass I ever bought was a left handed 2014 Rickenbacker 4003 which I paid £2,400 for. Beautiful bass but I didn’t get on with the neck on it, I foolishly part/ex’ed my 1978 Rickenbacker 4001 for it, what a mistake that was!

My Vintage VJ74 Jazz Bass. I’ve owned 1 x Fender USA Pro Jazz Bass, 1 x Fender USA Standard Jazz Bass and 1 x Fender Mexican Jazz Bass, loved the necks on the USA Fenders but never truly found a sound I was happy with on any of them (even with swapping out pickups). Being a lefty I was unable...

I was always led to understand that with wireless audio the nature of the beast is that you will always lose some bass. You can test this for yourself by A/B’ing your wireless IEM system by inserting your earbuds directly to the headphone socket on your wireless transmitter. You may be...

I use Comply tips on my earbuds, for some reason they don’t seem to be as good as they were several years ago, that is in their feel and how quickly they now re-form their shape, you have to be very quick now in getting them in your ears. Having said that they are still quite good, but I find...

I use this same app as well, for some reason though it drains the battery in my IPad Pro really quickly (others have reported the same issue). At one gig I remember it didn’t last the whole night! I’m having to use a battery Power Bank now to make sure it doesn’t run out of power. Great app though.

I decided on giving the KZ ZAX’s a try, for the majority they do seem to have fairly good reviews but I have read a few less favourable one’s whereby they’ve said that the bass can be a bit boomy and uncontrollable. I’m getting them from Aliexpress so they’re at a very good price, if they don’t...

Sometimes I find I have to sort of twist the earbuds slightly to get a better seal.

I agree, I use Comply Foam Tips, the stock silicone one’s aren’t too bad but not as good as memory foam tips.

I do BV’s/harmonies so the IEM’s are important to myself as well, plus I do need to hear the lead vocalist clearly as well. I have 2 pairs of KZ ZS10 Pro’s, the one’s I’m using at the moment are the first pair that I bought, however I accidentally dropped them on the floor some time back and I...

I might check those out thanks, but I’d sort of narrowed it down to those models I’ve listed and that was on the back of reading many reviews on KZ Earphones. I agree with you on the ZS10 Pro’s - very good earphones but as you say the treble can be a touch too bright for my ears.

Hi guys, I’ve been using KZ ZS10 PRO earphones as my live IEM’s for a few years now, I’ve been quite happy with them but I have some spare dosh and am thinking of upgrading them (to another KZ product). I’ve been looking at a few different models, namely the KS12 PRO X, KS12 PRO 2, KZ ZAR and...

Yes please that would be great.

Yeah I’ve had a John East Pre before (Musicman type) and it was brilliant. The JM74 does actually have a nice tone to it but I’ve heard great reviews on the J Retro and think it might take the bass to another level, and I do like active basses as a preference. Yeah I’ll try and find out some...
