Thanks for the confirmation waveriderhawaii and Vidal. I have the one that looks exactly like the one on the photo, I'm relieved to know that.

ZS5 are a lot better than BD005 IMO. It's been a while since I listened to them and I only have one earpiece since my youngest dog chomped the other, maybe others can share their thoughts on the mids as I don't want to give you a bad steer.

Nice find. I'll be ordering those eventually. While I don't necessarily think QKZ's gear is top notch, I find all the models own enjoyable to listen to.

@VinceHill24 I've ordered a pair of these for review.

Has anyone gone for the "high end" stuff from these brands? I'm really curious about this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...00-SE846-K3003-Around/519064_32727039253.html

I'm particularly interested in this one, mainly because it has an original look to it but also because of the description in the details although it's possibly just marketing talk.

This looks nice! I can't wait to see how it stacks up against the KZ ED9.

FWIW I've got the Super Audio 6 (all BA) and I like them a lot.

I ordered a pair of tennmak pros and one of KZ atr, should I buy some special eartips or are the stock ones good enough?

I love to use it with my JVC spiral dots

I like the sound of titanium single dynamics, so I would expect this to sound really good.

The adjustable vent is a cool idea that I've never seen before:



Definitely a neat design. You can see with the brass filter that it has a narrow opening, just like the brass ring that was installed in the ZS1 v1:

So that one is your "bass" filter. I assume the silver one has a normal-sized ID, & would be the brighter of the 2 (especially with a wide-bore tip). You could also roll with no filter at all, and see what that sounded like.

The brass one also has the red filter screen on the end, so replacing w/stainless mesh would offer additional tuning possibilities:

The copper cap on the end could be tweaked - playing with the size of the vent hole, closing it altogether, or pulling off the entire cap altogether (I removed the back plug off the HDS2 and improved the sound):

Unfortunately, this is what concerns me:

• "Sound is quite good!.. a little weak in the higher bass register. Unfortunately they do not sit well in the ears.. the studs are too short so they keep popping out. I own 2 other KZ in ears, and they do not have this problem. So it is a design problem. Too bad cause the sound is good! sounds ok, but keeps falling out of my ears. inserts too short to fit properly in ear channel. cannot recommend these for that reason. good sound, but terrible fit."
• "The product itself is Amazing. Crisp clarity on sound and mic. Lovely earphones. A bit uncomfortable and will take getting used to if you're not used to this kinda earphones, but the sound is amazing."

On the "inserts are too short" comment, you could likely extend the insert by using an o-ring or 2 underneath. If that solved the problem, then it would be an easy solution.

There's nothing worse than having a great sounding headphone that fits like crap or is uncomfortable to wear. We've all been there, and it ends up gathering dust in the bottom of a drawer.

I'm looking forward to some reviews once they are in people's hands.

I want them purely from reading the description page. I've seen some humorous use of English, but that page has some gems!!

My favourite is:

"The high school low triple balance, it comes from the mediation of a consonant"

Whilst not making any sense, the manufacturers still manage to convey their huge passion for their products and sound quite poetic in the process!

Love it!

FWIW, I snagged a pair of Pioneer CH9T, brand new for $70. Crazy steal. Thanks to @TwinACStacks for the heads up on them. Using them pair with my Fiio M3 for exercising. Haven't given a ton of listening besides 30-60 min intervals a few times during walks and its been burning in for about 24 hours now. So far, bass can go very low but its very well controlled and can punch when needed, mid is forward with great details and vocals, highs are smooth but I need to do a bit more listening and get a better feel of them. Haven't tried them with my balanced cable yet out of the Opus#1. So far a solid pickup, undecided yet if they are worth the $129 sound wise but build wise they fit the price easily. They feel solid, love the woven cable.
