  I didn't even look at shipping to be honest. Most of the stores offer a free service. I'm sure it will show up on the other stores soon.
 
EDIT: In fact...

Can anyone recommend a reputable seller on AliExpress for the KZ-ZS3? Also can I use standard 2pin cables with them? I know I'm going to fight that memory wire to get a comfortable fit.


My pair came from this seller

My 2pin cable doesn't fit, nor does the ZS3 cable fit my Rose Pudding.  Makes me wonder if the ZST uses the same connection as ZS3.


I'd say no since I had to order a different KZ silver plate cable for my ZST from the one I ordered for my ZS3

I think both Ewen and I posted our separate cable links in the KZ thread

Has anyone heard of Havi B3 Pro 1 fakes? Thinking about getting a pair and seeing some attractive prices on Aliexpress.

Nope, not me at least. It's not that new, not hyped as much anymore, so it probably doesn't really make sense to fake it. Buy from a store with good score and I'm sure you'll be fine.

So you think the Zs3 uses a non standard connector? That blows. There are non memory wire replacements on AliExpress that claim to be for kz-zs3, I wonder if they are worth it. I'm just looking to step up from the ate and zs1


I am using an Aurisonics branded cable on the ZS3 and have used the ZS3 mic cable on several other 2 pin IEMs, mainly Aurisonics, but my point is it's a standard connector. I never found a TF13 cable that couldn't fit it.
 
All i have to say though on this matter is when I was swapping cables on my ZS3, the right IEM was awfully resistant to accepting the cable, while the left one was a breeze. I checked several time to make sure I wasn't damaging it or it wasn't a good fit, but i think the pins on the ZS3 were just tight. After that i've had no problem swapping cables on ZS3.
 
I haven't used ZS3 once since getting my Seahf EG009 though. The Seahf rules hard.

Not on AE, but GearBest has the best deal right now ( except if you're looking for the matte shell ):

I purchased the AP60 nearly 3 weeks ago. It should be shipping out this week. I also purchased the GS G11 Hybrid IEM from Yaro on FB. It's nearly at my house. I'll probably have it by tomorrow.

No idea. Not familiar with these Tesla drivers. The bosshifi ones use beryllium and from the limited reviews, are quite good.


The Tesla drivers were used in the Beyerdynamic T Series. If it's half as good as the T1. Then it will be a Budget Wonder.

another important reason to buy from a good store is QC, channel imbalance was a bit common with some batches so its better to be safe than sorry and get it from a store with good customer service.

Got my monk+, **** 4in1 and KZ ZST today. Might write up some thoughts over the weekend

 
Looking forward too for those impressions!

  so here is the best combination,  4in1 + LZ-A3 cable,  just wow.......... 
 

This combo is working for me, 4in1 + Hisenior TD1 cable. Plenty of wow moments with these little gems. A good source dac/amp brings out the best in them imo.
