    So if it boils down to the flagship of the KZ vs TRN, which would you pick? TRN v80 or KZ AS10? (Ba10 isn't my style of sound signature nor is the KZ ZS6 which leans towards a brighter sound.)

    The stock cable with microphone also stopped working on mine. The cable just deteriorates over time. It's not too bad to just buy a replacement cable for $4 on aliexpress which is what I did. Otherwise you can always upgrade to the ZS4 which is a really nice improvement to the ZS3. As Slater...

    ok so my coworker purchased the uiisii cm5 headphones from amazon and I got a chance to compare them to my zs3's. (finally right?) So they do a decent job of sealing out the outside environment and they are definitely comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. They do not have the...

    Was doing some research for the USB-C DAC cables when I realized why would I buy a KZ specific USB-C brand specific cable when you can just get a 3.5mm jack for a couple bucks more and just switch out the headphones when you want to? If you buy the KZ cable, you would have to switch the ear...

    holy crap i just had a revelation....... (using lg v20 which has a high quality dac) THE ZS10's and the TRN BT3 are a match made in heaven. The recessed mids of the ZS10's are pulled forward when paired with the TRN bluetooth headphones. I mean the sound suddenly comes alive!!!! It almost...

    Correct. the ZS4 does lack in the mids section but it is a significant improvement for the highs over the ZS3's. The ZS4's aren't perfect, but are amazing as earplugs/working out but the mids are very far recessed compared to the bass. The shells/isolation are what makes the ZS4 and the ZS3's...

    I believe the shape of the ZSR bulges slightly moreso then the ZS3's. Those that have purchased the ZS3's and then the ZSR's did notice discomfort on the ZSR's that they did not feel on the ZS3's.

    i'll be ordering non mic replacement cables in the future. hopefully they last without having those issues. It's also cause i run with my smartphone in my hand so the mic does come in handy. The button on the mic to pause music is also REALLY nice to have if you have to stop and have a...

    Yup both cables ZS3 and ZS6 were mic cables that failed on me. My favorite ear tips are still the stock ear tips from the ZS3. the stock eartips on the ZS6's and 10's don't have that grip that the original ZS3's do.

    My original ZS3 stock cable died as long as the stock ZS6 cable as well. Both suffered the same fate. internal cable faults shorting out the left IEM right by the 3.5mm jack area. Basically the left IEM no longer produces sound because the internal cable broke. Swapping left and right...

    So two issues i've found with the KZ ZS4 that i have NO idea why the engineers changed about the ZS3 in the first place. 1) As slater already pointed out, the cable for the ZS4 is longer (which is a good thing as it reduces snags while running, especially since I tend to run the cable inside of...

    I wait wait wait what? the USB c cable is a dac??? I thought it was just another alternative to connect your headphones rather than the traditional 3.5mm method. So in essense a slight bump in audio quality but not a dac built into the usb-c cable. can anyone confirm? If that's the case i...

    So the zs4s came in and I'm with slater on the initial thoughts. Wow the trebles are just a tad bit more forward then the zs3s and make the ZS4's have a little more depth/separation. The bass on the other hand compared to the zs3s is almost like a 20% boost over the zs3s. It really does have...

    Dang where was I when they were selling those at $4 a pair? Someone post the next time the ZS3's or ZS4's go on sale.
