I prefer the KZ ZSR over the ZS6 and the ZS10..
ZSR is more dynamic and more fun to listen to. ZS6 and ZS10 are much flatter sound.
ZSR has a really nice punchy bass.

Mr.Belding The blue buds look really nice/tempting, but will pass after reading reviews. Is the ZSR really the best of the bunch? I'm searching for smooth, non-fatiguing, wide soundstage, sub-$100 IEMs (ideally sub-$70).

Mr.BeldingI haven't tried the others but I *love* the ZSR. Got it about a week ago on a whim and it seems to take all the best qualities of the ZS3 and ZST. The ZS3 was my previous favorite IEM. I plan to try out the ZS6 and ZS10 at some point though... KZ almost always delivers.

treal512Hmmm, I just received my zs10's and smooth and non-fatiguing describes them well. I think they sound fantastic. The zs5 and zs6 might have a punchier more fun sound but these are more laid back but in a wonderful way. I even tried eq'ing a little treble in which adds some excitement for a moment but becomes a bit too harsh for more than I few songs. Once, I turned off the eq there was a definite "ahhhhhhhhh" moment. I'm surprised by the luke-warm reception on this forum for these. These are my new favorites for sure. Full disclosure I only own the zs5 and zs6 but the knock-off CA design is the reason I can't really enjoy them, or my campfires either for that matter. They become uncomfortable to wear way too fast. I may get the zsr and zst to compare....but I don't see me liking them more than these. If you are looking for a relaxed sound with nothing really missing, I'd say go for it.

Mr.BeldingI also prefer the ZSR because of better mids. Overall, the ZS10 is technically better but I can live without it.

twibmassaThat's my opinion of the ZS10 too. They perk up with a little amping. Straight off a handphone jack, it can sound kind of bland.
I too have the ZS5, ZS6 and the ED16 as well.
While the ZS5 and ZS6 sound more 'energetic' , but the sibilance on the ZS6 especially is really an irritation. Comparatively, the ZS10 is a detailed yet laid back signature. Somewhat reminds of the tuning of some CIEMs. But it falls short of those of course. Its just the direction which they are tuned towards in my opinion.
