KZ SK10 PRO Review
Tests & Scores
A

7/10
B
Bass & Sub Bass
Bass on the KZ SK10 PRO is noticeably punchy and mid-bass heavy, adding a fun seasoning to bass/low notes.
Sub-bass can get fairly deep but can get overshadowed by its stronger mid-bass boosting.

M
Mids & Vocals
Unfortunately, the KZ SK10 PRO presents a strongly shy tuning on their midrange but is able to be fatiguing as well.
Their lower mids tend to sound distant and busy on any genre despite not presenting any kind of strong mid-bass bleed.
Mid and upper mids are, probably, the weakest ranges of the SK10 PRO; exhibiting a muddy and excessively recessed tuning.
At the same time, and awkwardly possible, the SK10 PRO´s midrange sounds excessively hot and unbearably harsh.
4/10
H
Highs & Treble
Highs on the SK10 PRO are equally as unbalanced and disturbing as their midrange.
With an excess of piercing and sibilant highs, the overly fatiguing nature shown on their mids is carried on to their highs.
Despite this over-emphasized peaks and transients, the SK10 PRO´s highs lack detail and definition.
2/10
C
Comfort
KZ has applied a custom-alike IEM design to the earpieces of the KZ SK10 PRO.
This specific design has been seen on several older models from the brand, which have proven to provide a remarkably tight, stable fit at the price of the more bulky protruding footprint.
Despite this and the inner battery, the SK10 PRO remain fairly light weighted and result in a greatly comfortable experience.
We usually do not mix categories to score each section but the unbearable sound nature of this model had to be weighted to give a fair score to the Comfort section; without considering its sound issues, the SK10 PRO would had scored 8.75 in this section but considering the intolerable fatiguing sound, the score has been downgraded to 5.
8.75/10

Response to Equalization
Not even a divine EQ miracle will be able to save and repair the tuning mess of the KZ SK10 PRO.
Unfortunately, their will be no secret formula to level up the sound quality of this model.
