Finally received the blue edition of the KZ ZS5. Let's see if this one spares me the QC issues.

your china retail box looks different from others.

I don't really understand how do you guys able to listen at super high volume. 50-60% of volume with my Note 3 is like super loud enough to not get uncomfortable, if i put it on any louder it's gonna be uncomfortable and painful to listen to and i'd probably get a tinnitus shortly after, not to mention some potentially permanent hearing damage. They're pretty sensitive at 106dB with a low 16Ohm impedance so i don't really find it necessary to crank up the volume high. jmho

I'm in the same boat my friend. I listen at ~15-30% with most of my gear and that's plenty of volume. Some earphones paired with my HTC One M8 I'll listen at the lowest possible volume. Reading about people maxing the volume and it still not being enough makes me cringe, haha.

Absolutely! My first reaction will be ouch! That hurts! And i'm surprised there are even people listening with volume maxed out. I do wonder if their ear have some sort of superpower or what.. Seriously people, gotta take care of your ears.

KZ is kind enough to give us some reminder about this too LOL

Yeah, as someone with some hearing loss and tinnitus from being stupid when younger, I can say it is something you regret for the rest of your life.

i have paid attention to these details like i've read them in this thread before, so the cable was placed correctly. i can forcibly push them in a little more but they still dont lock into the earpiece. should i return the iem?

EDIT:

It happened the same with mine, and i forced it (slowly but strongly) and it pushed in. I don't think it will ever come out!

i was afraid i might damage the pins. i pushed it inside really hard and it locked in. thanks
