Im just wondering why the ZS5 is so divisive,

50% of people say its the best thing since sliced bread, the other 50% say its the worst thing to happen to audio since Beats.

Personaly, im liking them more then my Trinity Phantom Masters., (signature wise, the PM´s have slightly more detail)

What maxxevv said. Plus some people plug then in out-of-phase, don't plug them in such that they are fully seated, and there are even a handful of QC issues with being wired out of phase from the factory (reports of cables being wired out of phase on 1 side, as well as reports of being wired out of phase internally within the shell).

Don't forget that there's v2 now which doesn't seem to be looking as good as v1 either.

In fairness, very few people have the v2 yet and there have been a few very happy campers too.

I am starting to wonder if some of the widely varied opinions on the ZS5(v1) might be a wider swath of QC issues though...


Maybe combined with intentionally making them more source sensitive than they should be by picking a particularly insufficient cable material...

Meh.

You really think you are the only one with ears?

Plenty of us use these headphones and have had other, more expensive, headphones in the past. Plenty of us, again, have also mentioned the treble issue etc.

So far the ZS5 and ES3 are the best bang-for-buck earphones I have tried.

Got inspired by the sweet ATE mods on this thread, so I decided to try my own. Popped off the covers and drilled the holes for the grills, then I sanded the cover thinner, to allow for the grill to lie flush with the surface of the IEM when reassembled. However, this meant that the cover would no longer fit due to the protruding brass cable mounts... so I just cut out a slot for them. Sorry if the picture's a bit unclear. With the slimmer profile they seem to sit a lot more comfortably in my ears.
