I'm thoroughly enjoying OurArt Ti7 earbuds
I think there is one more thing that is worth mentioning about all of this, with instrumental music I generally like to listen louder than most people do, but nothing too insane. When I tried to compare ZS5 and RX-1 again, difference is somewhat smaller with moderate sound level, but it is still there, just not as much as I made it out to be (it certainly is a big difference if you push it a bit, perhaps the BA drivers on ZS5 have some limitations, I am almost certain that violins sounding kinda thin is exactly because 1 or both BAs get more than they can handle). So, here is the case with this weird comparison, ZS5 is technically better extended and more detailed, but RX-1 just produces music that is more correct with fantastic resolution (it has flaws, mainly due to earbud form factor limiting extension in both directions, but it's fantastic exactly where ZS5 isn't and it shows). Also, considering this is not earbud thread and people might be uninformed, everyone's first earbud should be Vido from NiceHCK. It's the best 4$ anyone can spend and it's 95% of the way towards Auglamour, they do similar things for the mid range and yes, this 4$ earbud does mid range quite a bit better than ZS5.

ZS5 just bested the Dunu Titan 1 and 3!
Are you sh1tting me LOLZS5 just bested the Dunu Titan 1 and 3!
Well, my initial impressions were. I think the tips that they come with arn't as good of a fit as the stock ZS5(fits me perfectly, and I think the bore size is right). With the ZS5 tips, the sound becomes more neutral and clearer(my how much tips can make a difference!). I will have to listen more to get a better comparison.That's interesting, where did that come from ?
The ZS5 has definitely intrigued me but I have been really hesitant as I never liked the feel of over the ear cables.
