Well if your cable is heavy enough there is no need for wire wrap

This is blowing my mind... Now I want a heavy cable!!

I got this KZ cable today. It fits ZS5 very well. The build is very good. The Y split and 3.5mm jack are big with good quality.

But it's very heavy, weight 20g compare to 12g of original ZS5 silver cable. And with ZS6, the total will probably be 40g.

I have this cable on order as well. Is the jack a combination 3.5mm / 2.5mm? If not, I will need to find mine!

ZS6 arrived via GB coupla days back.

great news, off da bat, NOT treble cannons.

sounds a lot like the ZS5v1 but with more air.

loving it so far after 2 days of burn-in.

I think the first couple of people who posted got bad sets and we ended up with good ones.

@VinceHill24 thanks for your impressions

Sounds like the ZS6 could suit me, I like treble and as long as the bass isn't too much these could be a win.

If someone end up with a treble cannon ( not me, please ) and you receive the "corrected" version, it's better to exchange them

Huh!? Interesting. I might consider ordering a pair then. That still means that they're bright sounding though?

If you have fear for that and are not in the mood for mod them and try different tips for bass enhancing, it's best to wait until some more treble sensitive guys receive the normal cannon

one more thing of note, the zs6 is more picky on source and amping than the zs5v1. feed it junk and the nasties will show up easily. the zs5v1 is way more forgiving with lesser quality audio.

Searching around i have see something that it could be related. Here, this guy write that the ZS5 have a maximum input power of 109 mW, and the ZS6 of 75 mW.
If this is true, from a tecnical point of view they need to be fed with less power.

For those who have purchased the ZS6 and want to trim treble, there are some Ostry tuning tips, the OS300 are the black ones, maybe can filter some treble peaks:

I have them and I use them to filter trebles peaks in my RHA S500, at 8KHz (not bigger than ZS6).

There are no problem to put this tips in my ZS5.

Probably there is not the best solution to filter this Everest peak at 10KHz but they can help a little.

These kind of posts are the reason that head Fi is just such an amazing resource for sound geeks like us. I'm waiting for my Zs6,s I have to say I'm really interested to hear how good these are for the money at best what are they comparable to? Sure SE 215? Or better some say up to 200+ in value but I'm not a believer

Is the bass still distorted ? Are the mids recessed ?

I have a pair of Hisenior T8 iem 8 driver and I'm not happy with the cables so I ordered some Fiio ones last week. I'm thinking that the handmade Hisenior will be an upgrade for the ZS6 when they arrive who knows Chinese cables get a lot of "flac" pun Intended I suppose you really don't know what you are buying Ill give my report on these new models when they arrive. They dispatched 2 weeks ago ***.

Oh please... like someone can think that with 8$, for an upgrade KZ cable, we can buy something with electrical characteristics good as the ones that cost a bunch of ZS6

The next KZ cable is made of platinum ?

Just something better than the stock one, for microphonics and esthetic value, it's enough, at that price.

Everything must be proportioned. Sources, transducers... and cables.

Patiently await more zs6 feedback

Looking forward to seeing hearing and analysing these throughly once they arrive. Ill give my feedback. There is an unboxing video on you tube if anyone just puts ZS6 into the search tab.
