Confused between getting KZ's ZS3, ZST, and Einsear T2 (thanks to your list @Vidal lol). They're priced just about the same. I prefer soundstage and details/separation.

Dunno about the T2, but I would take the ZST over the ZS3 if you want detailed sound. ZS3 gives a bit of a smoother and bassier sound.

Agree.

@ahmadairfan, you sure that's your only list? If you're looking for big soundstage and details there are plenty of different choices than just what you listed.

You should see the insides of my ZS3. Has twice as much glue as that, gooped and glopped on everything. KZ must buy glue in 55 gallon drums!

Can I ask how you opened the ZS3? I wanna use the shells for something soon. I tried using a "spudger", but it was just messing the plastic up.

So when using them on the stage, one doesn't have to worry if they volume is set too loud before adjusting it?

I was only talking about visible eardrum injuries caused by high pressure, high volumes will damage the hair cells in your inner hear, which is irreversible and might also cause tinnitus, so yes, you need to worry if the volume is too loud.

Back to the topic, you guys that own both the ZS3 and the ZST find them really that different? Is it worth spending 10€ on the ZST if I already have the ZS3?

Yes, they are, being de zst´s clearly more detailed. I´ve been using this week de zs3, and yesterday changed to zst, and I feel to be quite different.

How do I safely open up the ZST

How do I safely open up the ZST

Heat it up and then gently pry it open with a plastic tool or fingernail - it'll give after it's been heated enough. Generally 70-80 celsius is where you want it to be.

It relies on pegs to stay together so be careful not to pull on it at an angle cause that would break the pegs.

I'm open to any suggestion, but hey I bought the Einsear T2 anyway lol. A friend of mine will buy ZST and ZS3, so I figured to buy some others.

The ZS5 might look a little ugly inside, but they sound pretty good. .....Actually, really good!

So far....

The PROS:
Vocals are luscious, balance is extremely great and 3D presentation is by far the best I've heard.

The CONS:
They can't take too much power when amped, don't know if it's a QC issue or an Ohm resistance issue.

....I'll know if it's a QC issue once I order and receive the blue ZS5.
