Our Verdict

Shure SE215

KZ ZS10

The KZ ZS10 sound brighter with a slightly more balanced bass range than the Shure SE215 in-ears. The KZ have a slightly more premium-looking design. The Shure, on the other hand, have a slightly more comfortable fit and better noise isolation than the KZ. Their overall sound is warmer. However, while both headphones are well-built in-ears with no in-line remotes, the sound of the KZ makes them more versatile.
