I have a NEW updated list for 2020 here! th-cam.com/video/frgrElZI5Cc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for all of your input, Dan. I'm trying to get my church to start using the Aviom (Sp?) Monitor kits and all of this helps with getting the funding.
As am I... we use stage monitors but none of us want the same thing... this becomes a problem with our 60 something year old pianist and me, the 18 year old guitar player who doesmt need to hear the acoustic as much... Dan, do you have any suggestions for a middle range in ear monitor that could give different mixes to different people?
Acoustic filters are not snake oil. They are used in the manufacturing of quite a few IEMs (usually universal fit). It's a cost effective way to "balance" the sound coming from multiple BAs, rather than go through the time consuming rigamarole of manufacturing and testing an OEM passive, time aligned crossover network for a particular design (R&D). Just use generic crossovers and the right filter (Knowles or Sensaphonics), job done! That being said, I had a situation where, while cleaning. I accidentally poked through one of my filters on a pair of Westone UM 2s. I heard that model, at the time, used Sensaphonic whites, flat response filters (which gently filter audio in the high mids) . Rather than go with it, I decided to do the same to the other side. What a difference! The high end opened up and the sound stage widened. I also found I ran my setup at a much quieter volume. Bass detail, well... became a lot more detailed! BTW... I am also a bass player who can proudly state " I haven't used a bass amp, live, in 5 yrs". IEMs rock!!!
The great thing about Guns and Guitars. Is that you find high quality products at amazing prices!
Man I really love your vids! You're the most honest and informative reviewer out there
Great video as usual Dan. I got a pair of the ZS5 iem after watching the last video and I really like them so far. Something I just found was a new cable to make them a set of Bluetooth earbuds. Thought that was kind of interesting. Keep up the great work!
I’m psyched about the IEM setup video. This is great info!
I really enjoy your videos Dan, you put the honesty first!!!! Saludos desde Puebla México!!!!
Hi, I play bass and bought the ZS6 and ZS10.
ZS6 and ZS10 come with different attach for cable, so be careful if you buy an extra cable.
ZS6 are great, comfortable, great value, however I had to modify the extra cable.
ZS10 are also very good, just a little bigger to wear.
thank you so much for these reviews, they're great and keep doing them.
Which of those 2 do you like best for bass?
Oh oh..kz just released the as10’s little bro, the as06..i’m wondering if you could compare these two and do some recommendations..as06 is a bit cheaper and are 2BA drivers less..thanks man..i really like how honest you are in your videos. Really very helpful. Thank you.
Great tips man..i tried m.foams before but doesn’t work well for me..good old silicon tips give me good seal and isolation more specifically large size and wide bore type, it doesn’t matter what brand. This is just a personal preference. I suggest you do tip rolling to find which one works for you.
Ooh.. I'm excited for the DIY molded!
Always love your videos and demos Dan..
Love your vids, was wondering if you’ll do a video on what appears to be an EUB 1 custom in the back-I really like the design and would enjoy a video on it! Keep up the great work!!
Hey Dan, what about a video for wireless systems to hook these puppies up for live shows? Any quality budget options?
I’m working on that video for sure!
Dan, thank you for specifying that the T2s are a bit lacking for a bass player... literally seconds before you said that I was writing a comment asking what you'd recommend for bass vs guitar!
Good question! Because I have bought the KZ AS10 just for fun and comparing myself, but it is very scooped. So I think for live guitar in ear monitoring they are not that good. I’ve tried it, but the guitars sounded thin. My Ultimate Ears and my Westone have way more punch and clarity in the mid region which makes the guitar sound fuller and pronounced..
Have you tried the bluetooth cable for the AS10’s? Are they any nice? :).
Vital and interesting info there. Define “value”. Nice video!
Fiio F9. You can find then on sale for around $79. Just an awesome IEM for the price.
Thanks for the tip!
How are the Mackie MP-240, are they any good or better than the once presented. I'm the type who pays a little more until I reach my budget ,if it sounds even 5% better😄
The comply foam tips fell apart after a while, the foam would tear and split. Is this normal?
Shure SE215 earbuds would be on my list at $99. I have a pair
About the most expensive buds. Electronics are almost always a case of diminishing returns. So, basically, the more u spend the returns shrink more and more. $100 product is not going to be twice as good as a $50 similar product. It's just as u said, U have to decide what cost to value ratio is right for u.
I don't get it, got a pair of CCA C10s because of your last video and they have this annoying hump at 5.5kHz, and judging by the AS10 frequency response charts I've seen around they have the same issue. How come you recommend these for studio work? Mind you, that 5.5kHz hump makes distorted guitars sound particularly horrible.
What is the benefits of iem compared to over hearphone?
Notification squaaaaaaaaad! Love the video Dan!
How long does a pair of znari memory foam tips normally last for you? Would you say that they have very good durability?
Thank you for this!!
Thanks for the info. 😀
Your videis are great. Just stellar. Thank you..
Are IEMs good for day to day music playback? Are they comfortable for longer periods of times? And which ones among-st these would be the best for that?
I’ll be doing a video on the best IEM’s for listening to music next month
@@GunsandGuitars I will check that out then! Thanks 😊
I love my m6 pro’s. $50 and if you want to go that far custom molds for $150
What's the difference between IEMs and regular earbuds? Is it the audio jack it uses? Sorry don't know much about music performance.
IEM’s are for professional applications. The color the tone less and offer more accurate sound reproduction. Regular ear buds just try to make music sound better, not a true reference.
@@GunsandGuitars Thanks for the info dude!
Which the difference between zsn vs zsn pro?
I’ve been looking for some inexpensive monitors for a while.
How about Tin Hifi T2 Plus?
Kz zsn pro x is best?
Can you comment on the CCA C10 headphones for US?I wonder how they differ from KZ
you didn't review the CCA C10, i really need to hear your opinion on them, they are cheaper than the AS10 with same config
I literally just got a pair and I LOVE them. They might be my new favorite “best value” option because they sound as good as AS10 but are a little cheaper. Just know that they are still a hybrid design, not fully BA like the AS10.
Thank you!
what's you're opinion on the kz zs6?
Do foam eartips reduce the low frequencies?
They isolate you from the low frequencies of your surroundings better and I feel like they improve bass response from the IEM’s.
@@GunsandGuitars thnx. I meant the bass, saying low frequencies, if the bass is reduced? Anyway thnx for replying, nice review!
@@systembooms69 Yes foam tips usually will muffle some of the low end compared to silicone tips and can sometimes make a more tinny sound
Please review BQEYZ KB100 please
do a review on Kanas pro and KZ ZS7 pls
As a bass player what is your favorite in ear monitor? I mean it can also be one you did not review.
For bass I like the kz zs5, AS10, and the cca c16 (in order of price)
Guns and Guitars I don’t mind the price as KZ in cheap in general even the more sophisticated models. I like to feel the deep bass of for example Bill Laswell, Jah Wobble, etc
Any chance on making a video on mixing and mastering?
4:10
Honestly, I’m not the best at post production mixing and mastering. Live mixing is my forte, I don’t think I could do you justice on the other stuff.
Guns and Guitars
All your videos sound great, Just wondered how and what the process of mastering is. Paying someone gets pricey real fast. Anyhow thanks for the useful/helpful content.
Do comparison on kz zs5 and tfz s2
Awesome
Do a 104,327 subscriber giveaway.
Cool that you mention just in the beginning the foam tips "tricks"... Cause it's just a must have!
Have you tried the tfz s2?
Love these budget videos seeing as I am...
Broke
Notification squad where you at?
i see zsn , i clicked
same
I bought the KZ AS10 and you're right, they sound amazing - right out of the box. After some burn in I'm guessing they'll get better.
Can't wait for the personal monitoring system video.
I'm a half price 90% kinda guy myself.
Thanks for the video Dan. Check out the Rolls PM351 for your next video - I love mine for performing and practicing with in-ears.
wait, you gig? why dont guitar youtubers talk about that kinda stuff more often? afraid itll be confused for bragging? really dosent make sense to me.
Dude! Cant wait for the roll your own molded IEMs.
Memory foam sucks. The good triple flange ones work and stay in unlike all others
They're also easier to clean and don't need to be replaced every once in a while.
Triple flanges are a type of ear tip. You can look them up on Amazon but they're basically three ear tips stacked on each other and each one gets progressively smaller. There's also double flanges that are the same thing but with two ear tips.
I have tried triple flange and it goes way deep into the ear canals. You will really need to turn the volume down. It is also made out of silicone. SpinFit makes a double flange ear tips and they feel so good.
"I selected these monitors, cause they are the one you wanted to HEAR about" haha there is a pun here
+Guns and Guitars do you need a headphone amp with these or can you just plug them in?
Just plug them in!
I needed this video my church is switching from my floor monitor so I gotta switch on a budget
Love your budget guitar videos (not a gun guy, but can appreciate those who are), & especially the two you've done on IEMs. Our church is moving to IEMs and purchased about 10 sets of Shures, but am thinking about my own set. We only play one service a weekend so the fatigue factor shouldn't be an issue, but just like the idea of owning my own.
I think the 1st video was more helpful; this one tended to focus on the production side of monitoring rather than the player, which is fine. I'm going to share the videos with the rest of our team so they can have a better understanding of the technology and if they want their own as well (singers esp. will be sharing the Shures). Thanks!!
I tried your memory foam tip recommendation for my KZ-KST IEM's because I wasn't getting a good fit or isolation with the included silicon tips that came with them. Sadly I couldn't get a good fit with the Znari memory foam either. What finally worked for me was the SpinFit CP145 silicon tips, $10.99 on Amazon for 2 pairs. Mediums fit me perfect. Great isolation, they stay put and very comfortable. Just another option for your viewers.
I’ve been using the Mee Audio M6 Pro for a bit over a year with pretty good results. But, just this week I got some new Revo Next QT3 Jen’s with three BAs and one dynamic driver. As a bass player I think they are far and away better than the M6’s. I got them from Massdrop for about $50. Haven’t put the foam tips on them yet, but I do have some. So far, the only negative I’ve found with these is the cable. It’s a bit flimsy and the behind the ear form tubes are nearly worthless. I’ll be adding an aftermarket cable soon!
Love your vids and appreciate the honest opinions.
Love the emphasis on the memory foam tips! As a bass player, I'm rocking a pair of the KZ ZS5's from the previous video with memory foam tips and a braided cable. I had a drummer (without a drum shield) on my left and 16,000 watts of subs on my right all morning and my ears are totally fine! They key is to get the right size of tips so the IEM's seat in your ears properly and don't turn your IEM's up super loud. The point of IEM's is to isolate you from all the noise so you can turn your monitor levels down. Your IEM's should be way quieter than FOH volume.
Hello, Dan. This is once again a good review. I am actually waiting for the AS10 and the BGVP DMG. All is well said. Could you please look at KZ ZS7 and KZ AS06.
I love your video. Thanks for posting the content is very helpful.
Which iem's do you use when you're playing live?
Hey Dan! Just wondering how you’re coming on the budget wireless IEM setup. Really curious to see your solution to compete with “$1000 a person” setups!
Thanks man!!
Hey Dan, love your channel.
Are any of the Alclair IEM's worth the $300 and up price tag? They're not for me, nor any IEM at that kind of price point. Just wondering if you're familiar with them and what your opinion is on those.
Hi! I'd like to know if you have tried the KZ T1 TWS. I'm kind of a fan of the brand, I have the ED9, ZST and most recently I got a pair of AS10. I also would like to know how good these KZ T1 TWS are.
Love the vids, thanks! Any chance you could do a full “how to solder and install pickups” video? I built my first guitar (ES 335 style) and struggled with the pickups. Any guide would be helpful, there wasn’t much out there I could find. Thanks!
Great video, Dan. I still think the ZS5s are the best option for me but I'm glad to see you trying out everything. Can't wait for the monitoring setup as that's something I need to get cracking on soon myself.
I have owned all of these and the bgvp dmg blow the rest away then i got the dm6 and it blew my mind im pretty tempted to get the new dm7 set now especially after hear some reviws on it compared to my dm6's
I would L❤VE to win the AS10's!!!!! Those or a good set of IEM's for drumming with a 4-7 piece band.
😁❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍🤞🤞
please more information, their types ,and their quotation send me in my gmail account , thank you
110,000 subscriber giveaway?
What would you recommend for watching movies and listening to some music?
Ayye 💜
Great video and info. Q: wish one do you think it"ll be better for a singer? (KZ AS16) ?? budget is up to $135. thanks.
I bought the KZ AS10 on your recommendation (review). I play lead guitar at church and couldn’t be happier with these IEM. I was really able to hear everything clearly making it so much easier it enjoy playing and worshipping.
Thanks for the review.
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback, I’m glad you’re enjoying them.
Recommend for me the best upgrade cable for CCA C12 with mic
Sweet I needed this. I play bass for my church on a budget and need some
in-ears.
This vid helped me a lot.
Thanks 🙏
This was cool. I appreciate you taking the time to go through all of these monitors.
The silicon tips inside her head get switched to overload... 😀
I do really love how you always tell your own opinion.
That wire is PIA, only needed as antenna for phone radio on the run. Just make it Bluetooth wireless.
I absolutely love how honest you are with us! You know that your sponsor may not be happy with what you’re saying, but you still don’t think twice about giving us your honest opinion! Thank you!
That’s my commitment. My integrity and my viewers come first. I don’t serve sponsors, they serve us!
hey guys can i get a review of the moondrop spaceship ? thanks (: not sure if i wanna invest in them
I run Tin T2 and the blue foam is to big for my small ear canals! But love the sound.
Im half deaf what type of iem should i use my right side ear doesnt work its damaged
Which is the best option for eletric guitar player zsn or zsn pro?
If I ever play live, now I know what to use!🙌
May I please have some of the one's you are not using!
Needed some of these, going slowly deaf
Bro Memory foam eat up the bass.!!
I’m shocked they don’t make in ear monitors wirless, we’ve come to almost 0.2 millisecond delay times,we just get Bluetooth 5.1 and maybe a customized connection shortener
They do make wireless in ear monitors but no one talks about the Bluetooth ones because they're a niche product. Bluetooth sound quality is always worse than wired and the type of people who would want in ear monitors want them because of the better sound quality.
ViviSectia ok, cool, thanks for letting me know!
Speaking of monitors on a budget.. I made both headphones (and ear plugs) with a decent pair of ear buds, and some sugru. I put a little neosporin on my ear (cause I didn’t have Vaseline) and molded sugru. Once fully cured, I carefully-and slowly-drilled a hole through the middle and pressfit the earbuds in. I’ve had them since 2013 and still love them. I’ve used the earplugs for years and they work great at the range.
(I’ve read too that you can make a sugru type rubber from cornstarch and silicone caulk)
Been running the KZ ZST's for a while now and they've served me well. Obviously not on par with custom IEMs (like 64 Ears), but for a fraction of the price, I'll take them any day. Great video, always good to get an idea of some additional options.
