just got mine for $12. The option that I can have my KZ ZS10's wired or Bluetooth is kick ass amazing! APTX is selected by my Mate 9 automatically by default when connected and you lose volume control and fullness. In Developer settings I had to reselect the SBC option and the music sound just went crazy off the roof, full surround sound with highs, mids and lows just perfect with the ZS10 making them sound premium and far better than those overpriced $100 head/earphones!
I'm at total noob when it comes to IEMs and stuff. I only brought a KZ one off Amazon for $13 and I liked it however I lost it recently. I wanted to see if I can get a KZ Bluetooth adapter for a new one but do they all work for all KZ earbuds/IEMs? Do other brands work for it? Does it depend on the mm size?
Hi. I own the kz ZS6. So I am a little confused. Mine is the straight type. So I will need the B type. Connector. Am I right ? Thanks in advance for the help.
i have an issues here ( sorry for my bad english ) so i have this aptx earphone and it works well for 1-2 months , suddenly i cannot pairing the bluetooth to my phone, the power on/off is working well but i cannot pairing and the red and blue light doesnt showed up
I wish KZ or some other company made something like that but instead there are no wires. It would just be cool to have the whole KZ lineup to be able to be truly wireless and with good bluetooth connectivity of course.
Hey man i have kz zsn , i wantto use it with bluetooth . So what you suggest to me for buy? Because i couldnt find any bluetooth module for it. Is kz zst bluetooth module match for zsn ? Or this?
Really cool stuff you brought man! I have one, however, I see a lot of points to improve. Buttons aren't good, when you run, it weights more for the right side... There could be a little less cable length... Well but that's me! I'll definetly buy the new version. Thanks for that man!
I have the old bluetooth module which hv no aptx. And that was disappointing. There is audio delay(which is quite noticeable) & the audio frequently cut out when i put it inside my pocket. Does this one hv those problem too?
I just received mine and found out about the reverse l&r through your video too. Not too much of an issue though. I noticed it has a slightly shorter range than my QCY QY19, and that it sounds OK but a bit muddled with my TinAudio T2 (I have the mmcx cable). Equalising helps a little but I'll have to work on it further... I'll try it with the Magaosi BK50 that should get here in a few days, maybe it's just an issue with the TinAudio.
@@xXBYRSALPHAXx Consider that it's winter here in Italy so when I'm out it kinda lies within my scarf. But neither in that case nor when I'm walking at home it does that. The cable is long enough for the plastic thingies to rest on my shoulder. I wouldn't really recommend it for runnin though, because the one plastic thing with the battery is slightly heavier than the other and slowly pulls the cable to its side. Not enough to be a dealbreaker when sitting/walking around, could be a bit annoying when running (haven't tried it yet for running, just my impression).
Great review! I wonder how the trn Bluetooth adapter compares to this? They are almost similar. Have you tried the trn? Maybe you can compare the two. Thank.
hmmm how about the button function? last time the volume button need to hold down to increase/decrease, and double click to next/previous is it the same?
xouldnt you jsut swap the right earphone to the "left" end of the cord and vise versa and get the corrected audio minus the controls will just switch sides?
They sell it on gearbest for 12$ but no ratings yet and cant seem to find the seller from the product page. Also a few of the information on the pictures got edited out for some reason like the qualcomm branding for the chip. Should i order from there? Sounds suspicious.
One major problem I experience using it is the unstable connection, I can't having in my pocket without often having the sound crackle on and off due to the unstability, and we're talking about a less than three feet distance! Now one more thing if you guys can help me, I cant pair it with my laptop anymore, and I haven't been able to figure out how to reset the unit too, do you guys know how to do it?
I got B Paragraph pin style (New style for ZS10 & ZSA) it is left & right reverse on your video. But correct other test on youtube. It is not hold earphone well (ZS10 & ZSA). it is easy to lose.
Has anyone figured out how to turn off the blinking LED? I have had a pair of these for 8 months or so paired with some Shure 535s and they work great, but if I use them in the dark, the blinking light is horribly distracting.
Guys. I bought 1 module with 4.2 bluetooth version and i tried charging it but its confusing to know that if its charging. When i plug to the charger the led light shows red but after around 1 minutes it turns blue. And I can't find out whats happening? Any help??
Unfortunately I do not understand English so I'll have to ask around here hahah in the previous version there was a delay in the sound, in this new one has this problem?
At last, thanks for review. I've read some dreadful comments on aliexpress about bad connectivity, to the point that it was lost from just shaking the head. Could you test this out and comment on this?
@@TechManZ It depends if you're using a phone or a bluetooth transmitter. I connected mine with an Avantree Priva II transmitter for my music player and the connection keeps getting cut. For a phone no problem with the connection, but I bought this primarily for my music player. Gonna try buying a stronger transmitter, but my old KZ bluetooth module (with the shorter cable) had no connection issues.
i just get mines, and doesn't have the swap channel, they sound normal on your video test, i found that there is two versions of this item, knowed as 4.1 and 4.2, the 4.1 version have a lot of complains and the 4.2 is the new version.
@@argststr page 04 of user´s guide says wichs version it is. online stores, look at the spects "BLUETOOTH ENHANCED RATE - Bluetooth 4.1 with EDR greatly improve the data transmission, the speed is currently 3 times that of ordinary Bluetooth, making Bluetooth transmission faster, more stable with lower power consumption. " it must say "4.2" instead of "4.1"
this is weird, i only have the switched sound polarity on your video and i've tested it on several other sound test's and the bluetooth adapter works fine :D
I think we got same problems. When its voice recording mic is cristal clear but when i use it on phone calls its terrible. I cant find why. I bought 2 each one of them have same problem.
Does anyone experience charging this thing to a 100 then connecting it on your phone and seeing 90% of charge instead of 100%? Another thing is that, when it is on 30% battery charge, does the device prompt you a message on "low battery" then after a few minutes the device will turn off?
Finally understand this problem. The bluetooth cable charges to a 100 but visually does not show a 100% charge on your phone, but instead shows 90% as maximum charge which is technically equivalent to 100% of charge. The cable only has 4 levels of battery which is 90,70,40,30. So when the cable notifies a sound of battery low, and it shows 30% on your phone, the cable is most probably on 10% or lower.
@@lokeshjayachandran9620 I am not a musician so it hardly bothers me. I feel the same, if the drums are playing in the left ear or right ear. What matters is that the soundstage is great and its a balanced sound.
I have one too. It sucks. Audio is delayed when watching movies, sound cuts off when I put my phone in my pocket or shake my head, and I hear buzzing sounds. Waste of money
Same here! Really disapointed with that. Always cuting when i leave it on my pocket for running or workout. I'm using a Moto G5S Plus. Maybe it is the bluetooth version, saw some comments telling that it works best with 5.0 versions or higher. There is any solution by now?!
Well, I find the the Bluetooth have much more obvious audio lag, when compare to the previous Bluetooth adapter, The delay is about a second long... which is ridiculous So you cannot play music game or pubg mobile, by the way I'm using a i7+ , which I doubt is the system problem of ios11 because my laptop can perfectly sync the Bluetooth audio.

I just got one... it reverse left&right too!
but for me just swap... and it ok
Smart solution!
TechManZ thank for review that let me know it sound reverse. at first is sound very weird hahaha
but then your polarity backwards or what BMANE OR WHAT A?
Isn’t it possible to switch the cables? Left cable in right earpiece and right cable in left earpiece?
Is dis works on zsn?

It mean this converter has sbc codec?
Hey man thanks for this really helps on increasing volume!
0:33 that was sad af
I openend mine. They soldered it wrong. On the board there is a R+ and R- solder point, but the cable goes to the left earpiece...
lol thats both funny and sad
this happens to alot of kz shit
I have the APTX adapters and I’m using it with my ZS10s,no reverse polarity issue for me and no complaints either.
I cannot get the mic to work with windows 8.1 and 10. Do you know why?

Nice..the best Bluetooth cable upgrade. But hope Kz will put the braided wire on these since it is already has aptx. Nice review man.
I love your reviews. Keep it coming. 👍

Just to nitpick, it's got reversed channels, not reversed polarity, which would be when signal and ground wires are connected 'backwards'.
Which is best Kz Zs10 or Zs10 pro???
The chord was kinda long and is a bit of a hustle when using public transpo is there a similar product that has a short chord?
How will you know if the cable is fully charged?
Really cool stuff you brought man!
I have one, however, I see a lot of points to improve.
Buttons aren't good, when you run, it weights more for the right side... There could be a little less cable length...
Well but that's me!
I'll definetly buy the new version.
Thanks for that man!
does it work with 0.78 mm iems??
There is supposedly a new version of that thing out there. Could you try that one out, too? The connection problem is what I care about the most
Thank you for the review, as for the reverse polarity, does it only affzct video or audio too? And will it ruin one's music experience? Thank you!!!

no reverse polarity issue on my kz bluetooth aptx. they revised the production, they told me that before i bought it.
