What was the KZ company thinking? ...My ears cried out "sore ears, sore ears!" after 15 minutes! :scream:




Even the DQ4 are a lot more comfy than the KZ's, IMHO! :hushed:




-Clear

No soreness from KZ ZSX for me which is surprising. But yea the ZSX body design is a hit or miss. The CCA C12 design is much easier to fit on people's ears.

It's always possible that you got a bad earpiece.

The only other thing to check is the connections, for being out of phase. Is it at all possible that you might have the designated right cable connected to the left earpiece and vice versa on the right earpiece ?

I've tested them with https://www.audiocheck.net/soundtests_headphones.php and they are properly connected. However, CA IO was properly connected, but they sounded weird, too.

How do you like Magaosi's ? I got mine about a week ago, but they sound boring .. weird ... no idea. And they look a bit different than yours.

Yea, females or others with smaller ears, in general, might not have a good experience with the bulky feeling and soreness it might produce, but they do express excellent non-fatiguing sound for that matter.

My experience with them has been very positive. Did you try exchanging them with the merchant you bought them from? Sounds like you're experiencing a defective model.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't like them. I bought from Penon Audio and paid VAT and extras at my customs. Returning them would mean paying once again for that and I don't want to. Will list them in EBay for half price or something.

Sorry to hear that. I had similar experiences in the past and had to deal with the same situation. In the end, this is Chi-fi where not every deal might not be the perfect one for some. Overall, I hope it works out for you.

just got this from the mail.. first time after i opened the box, i put the Symbio peel on them, plug them in,and now i have been sitting here for one hour without even doing any tip rolling or doing head to head comparison at all with my other gear. now that's something..

now i understand why some members here like @peter123 and @ClieOS who practically have listened/own tens to hundreds of earphones, but still put this IEM on their signature

for someone seeking a neutral sounding IEM, i strongly suggest this one
What iem is that?
