Hmm, wonder if this BT cable will fit the ZS5. Forgot to check which 2 pin the ZS5 is using.

I just spoke with Jim at NiceHCK. He's offering a $10 pre-order discount on the ZS5. So I cancelled my previous order and ordered again after the price adjustment. $29 for the blue with the mic and silver cable.

So was that with the mic version + silver cable?

Regarding the ZS3 mod, i removed the red grills and i cannot find any foam. One thing i noticed is that the red "funnel" doesn't stick outside that much and it's not at an angle that allows me to look inside (like in the mod pics).
I stick the needle as far as i could but as i can feel, it is only touching plastic.
I have the matte version of the ZS3, not the shinny one as in the mod pics.

That's odd. How old are they? I wasn't even aware they made a matte version.

Matte version was the original. Glossy came later.

How many ZS3 and ZST version so far B9?

 

[B9Scrambler]

Only two of each that im aware of. Zs3 has the matte and glossy versions. Zst has the carbon-fiber and colorful versions. Zs3 cables have been revised with proper memory wire since release instead of the formed guides on mine. ZST possibly retuned to address early release complaints, but that's just speculation I think.

True, but unfortunately there's not enough room for a damper. The nozzle of the BA driver is almost directly against the mesh screen.

You can move BA deeper into nozzle

I don't think it's a QC issue. There's just too many people that dislike the highs on the ZST. I just think it's the particular BA driver that some people are overly sensitive to, because everyone's ears are different. Luckily, the fix is easy enough to perform.

+1

And ZST end result depends from source gear and files You are using them with. The more revealing "high-end" source You have, the more You notice peak in highs. Haven`t done the mod myself yet but will certainly do it because if that peak gets removed by mod, it will be the best overall SQ KZ IEM I have for sure. I will try to do some other tricks too and share feedback if I succeed "fine tuning" it.

Does anyone notice any ear pressure problems from the ATR/ZS3/ZST? Like popping when placing the earphones in the canal?

Where can I get the newest ZS3 ?
Is the glossy one newest? Which is better fit (lock), matte?
GB flash sale is newest version of ZS3 ?

You are using too big sized tips? Maybe getting driver flex?

Never thought of that. I'll try new tips.

I noticed that the ZST ear pieces don't have L or R on them, but the cables do, I guess which ear piece goes where doesn't matter?

I bought my ZS3 from GearBest in March and received the glossy version and got a replacement in April that was also glossy. There is no way choose between finishes AFAIK.

The left and right earpieces are both shaped differently. With the cable connector pointed up and slightly in the direction you're facing the nozzles will each point in the correct position in relation to your ears.

The L and R markings should both face outward.

It does, because the bud is shaped differently.
