Our Verdict
KZ ZS10
BGVP DM6
The BGVP DM6 and the KZ ZS10 are very similar in design, style, and build quality, but the ZS10 are the better option if you want headphones for neutral sound. While our unit didn’t have one, there is a BGVP variant that has a microphone and in-line controls, which makes them more convenient to use. However, the KZ have better bass accuracy and are more comfortable.
