Thought I'd share some pics of the throwback KZ ZS1, was wondering if anybody still has a pair(think they are circa 2015) and are enjoying these as much as me?! Also, any product I can use to clean the brass? Theres some corrosion. They still sound great despite a little rust, the bass is...

lps, my main genres are Uplifting Trance and prog House (not the tommorowland stuff) Thanks theres certainly polarizing opinions about the DQ6s but i really appreciate the graph backing up your claims. Not sure if I get them but if I do I'll remember the eq adjustment to help tame the higher end.

I really am interested in potentially buying the n3ultra. It seems to harken back in spirit to how the original daps (than just called mp3 players) were meant to be. I dont like streaming as I have a large library of my own collection. l typically use mp3s and flacs but I also have less common...

Ok thanks for your reply. Thankfully have a phone with decent storage (512 GB) so I'll just use headphone amps with it.

I know almost all phone dac amps are designed for usb c nowadays but what if I used a usb c to apple 30 pin cable with the dawn pro? I have no idea if this would work but included a pic of what it looks like. Listing is here also: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805156073926.html Bear in...

Wow really appreciate it was about to buy. I'll check out the trio then. Another question I had.. is the a16 pro x worth the extra money over the a16? EDIT: I'm trying to limit myself to 3 pairs of iems. I got the ESX and cca trio so far. Right now for the 3rd I'm debating between the kz pr2...

Hey guys, I'm going to get the DQ6s as I mentioned earlier but there are two others I'm considering... The KZ as16 pro and the KZ esx. The esx apparently has very strong bass which I'm looking for to enjoy my library of rap music. The as16 pro just looks very nice, 8 drivers for each side has...

I appreciate the suggestions. Trying to avoid buying more than like 3 IEMs because they'll end up sitting in a drawer lol. I sure miss the website GearBest as they had such great prices. Typically just use AliExpress these days. Probably go with just the KZ x HBB DQ6s and see how it goes. I...

Sup guys! I've gotten a lot of great info from this thread and from this forum. It's been a very long time since I've posted or bought an iem and feel very much out of the loop. My last iem purchase as crazy as this sounds was the CCA C10 in 2019. I liked them so much I just stopped collecting...

Hey I just bought the trn bt20 bluetooth cable guys. I bought them for all the KZs I have but what other brands or types of earphones would you all recommend to also use with the trn bt20? I am happy with the zs3s and other KZs that take the 0.75mm pin for daily music listening with my iPhone...

Great, so just to clarify the zsrs and zs3es have a 0.75mm pin slot? I’m thinking of buying both of these and wanna know for future reference as I have a nice 0.75mm Bluetooth cable I’d like to use with them... Thanks

Hey I was thinking of trying the zs3e or the zsr as was previously recommended...Does the zs3e and zsr use the same upgrade cable as my original zs3? Believe it’s 0.75mm. I also just got the trn bt20 0.75 Bluetooth upgrade cable so looking for more options besides the original zs3 to use it...

Are you aware of any sellers that still have the zs5 v1 with the brass ring in stock? About a year and a half ago I decided I wanted the zs1 with the brass ring and man was that hard to find!!! I was hoping the zs5 v1 was easier to obtain. What I did before to find the brass ring zs1 was...

I got a nice new Denon 7.2 channel stereo for Christmas and I wanted to buy some nice stereo plug adapters so that I can listen to all my earphones that have a 3.5mm plug. I know what type of adapter plug it is but was wondering if they vary at all in quality and if I should buy one for cheap or...

No, lol for real I didn’t know. I appreciate you guys help and wouldn’t waste your time.

I need to know if the original zs3 takes a 0.75mm Cable or 0.78mm cable as there are two options to choose from for the Bluetooth cable on AliExpress. I think I remember it being 0.75 but I just want to confirm before buying. Thanks

Can I use this Bluetooth cable with the original zs3? It looks like similar connectors? Something that is confusing is there is 0.75 and 0.78 mm sizes that are very similar in the same AliExpress listing you shared. Hopefully theres a thread or online resource that gives you compatible kz...

Thanks for thorough information about the newer kz models. :) I’m not nearly as knowledgeable with earphones as you guys so I rely on you for accurate reviews and insights. Anyway, since my OG zs3s come with a detachable cable could I use a “bluetooth cable” with it? Last time I was here in 2017...

Hey I haven’t posted in a few years to this thread. But a few years ago I bought the zs3, zs1 (the brass ring model), ed4, and some bamboo ed7s which quickly became my favorites. I haven’t followed KZs latest models do they make any Bluetooth earphones now? I know about a year and a half ago...

Hey I know a lot of you all dont use the ED4. I use them for yard work, and commuting mainly but I noticed today that the screen popped off one of the nozzles. I had a tough time fitting the screen back on the nozzle. Feel like it might pop out the next time I take off the tip. Isnt the screens...

I just bought the ED7 standard size a few nights ago. The bamboo I thought was very cool and unique looking. ED7 is supposed to sound somewhat like the ATR. :) The next KZ iem on my radar to get besides the zs5 obviously is the original zs1. I guess I need to message sellers on eBay and...

Hey browsing aliexpress and I see a model called the ED7 made out bamboo?! Are these the same as the ED4 but just bamboo housing? They seem like the same size and design as the ED4. Nozzles look identical to me etc.

I like the bass mainly. The highs arent great though and I noticed rock music really highlights the ed4s weaknesses. Particularly loud electric guitars sound really out of tune and distorted. Thankfully I listen to mostly rap and techno trance, so bass and mids are more important. (at least imo...

If I like the ED4 (which most folks don't) you think I would also enjoy the ED9s? Thanks

Are any of you using SpinFit tips on the kz zs3 or atr? Ive always wanted to try SpinFits and just curious.
