That was partially "quoted" by you "They even slightly better the ZS5 in a more comfortable listening experience"

....Meaning: They are more comfortable than the ZS5's. Though the ZSE has better treble extention, in my opinion.

I know - it was meant to be funny, taking it out of context (like they do in the news media all of the time) to make the joke about the hype train.

Wooo woooo chuga chuga

I find they get me places

Even places that you don't want to go

The two driver ZS5 thing came up around page 1209 (with some better pictures from the original taobao disassembly comments) but still not a sufficiently detailed disassembly to actually "prove" anything since a BA tweeter would only need a tiny pinhole to contribute to the sound, which could easily be missed/damaged while scraping out all that blue goop,,, and a sub-bass DD wouldn't even need a sound channel at all if the tuning intent is for it to pass through the chamber wall...

Mind you I'm not an audio engineer, I'm just parroting back what I read back there.


I do have a tiny bit of electrical engineering experience though, and... even if you completely can't hear them (which I am in no way trying to imply)... attaching addition complex loads to a system can considerably change the overall output, even if it has no direct contribution to the output in the band being considered, right? So even if you can't hear it at all, that BA could still be very significant...

If that were true, one could make the argument that 4 drivers is "marketing hype" because one is being used as something akin to a crossover... but does that even matter if it sounds good? That would be up to you to decide.

Trainspotting

 

[1clearhead]

Oh effff me. I just jumped on the hype train with the ZSE. Well, can't really complain considering they only cost me $6.50.

Worth every penny and then some. This train is going to be hard to stop....wait 'till you get your pair. Priceless sound signature and resolution!

 

[1clearhead]

Thanks! how would you compare the ZSE sound VS the ZS3?
Are the highs more present in the ZSE? Can the mids on the ZSE handle electric guitars?

Definitely, the highs are more present on the ZSE and they handle guitar strumming extremely well.

I still can remember your "Hype Train" on the Ivery 1....just in case you forgot. I still remember you saying that the Ivery 1 sounds as good as the Sennheiser HD600. Luckily I still have my HD600.

Definitely, your choice whether to buy them or not....no hype on that.

Try the opposite. Tear open a shure or something, say your KZ sound engineer friend says it's crap and even the ED9 (or whichever one) is better than this LOL

If you donate the Shure and I don't completely fall in love with it, then Shure I'll do it.

 

[1clearhead]

My second pair of ZSE came today. Since they're priced so cheap, I decided to get another.

....so far, no "QC" issues.

 

[ricemanhk]

If you donate the Shure and I don't completely fall in love with it, then Shure I'll do it.

Let me look on taobao and get a pair of Shire SE 835 or maybe Ultimately Ear Pro for you...

Quick question: will uncompressed FLAC/ALAC files improve listening experience with ZS5?

Listening devices are iPod touch 4 and the 5th gen iPad. My Android doesn't provide very good sounds.

My ZS5 is shipping.. Will get after two weeks hopefully. If uncompressed music files provides better sounds, on my devices then I'll download some FLAC music.

That's a can of worms, but IMO I doubt you'll notice any major differences.

So a local store just have their stocks of the ZSE yesterday. Should I buy or not?
