Glad it worked out for you. I use my ZST every day for bike riding because I like them so much with the mod.

I think it would certainly be beneficial to tune the ZS5 and the ZS6 to your individual taste. The method would be the same as the ZST mod. The only difference is that the nozzle screen is glued on with the ZS5 but just peel-n-stick with the ZS6.

where are the details on this mod? I seem to have missed it somewhere.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Sure, no problem. Let me know if you have any questions or have any trouble with the mod. It really is east to do, and completely reversible. Just make sure you use the right kind of foam. I outline different options for the correct foam in that post.

It might be the S7 Edge.

I remember the Galaxy S4 (that I used to have - bad mobile phone, really bad mobile phone for most of my (non-audio) needs) ran into distortion with low impedance loads (which most IEMs are). If that hasn't changed with the S7, then it might be your phone that is distorting (could be the ZS5 as well, but I suspect it's the mobile phone).

I meant no distortion. Probably means a portable amp would be good.

I have the same cellphone. Absolutely no distortion even in max.volume on my ZS5's. Ain't it problem with song/album? Some albums on high volume levels sounds very harsh and unlistenable (Loudness war era).
EDIT: Have you tried to "tune" the sound with advanced features of the S7E such as Adapt sound or UHQ, or PRO amplifier?

No distortion. But where do you get to all those eq settings?? {my point was that I listen loud}

Portable amps are always good :0)

Yup, for example I sent him the below order message in the format of "QTY, Model (ie ID), color, size (ie OD)". I figured he'd screw it up, but he got it perfectly:

• 4pcs/2 pairs T200 BLUE MEDIUM
• 4pcs/2 pairs T200 RED MEDIUM
• 4pcs/2 pairs T300 BLUE MEDIUM
• 4pcs/2 pairs T300 RED MEDIUM
• 6pcs/3 pairs T200 BLUE SMALL
• 6pcs/3 pairs T200 RED SMALL
• 6pcs/3 pairs T300 BLUE SMALL
• 6pcs/3 pairs T300 RED SMALL
• 20pcs/10 pairs T500 BLUE MEDIUM
• 20pcs/10 pairs T500 RED MEDIUM

By the way...any difference between t400 and t500?

Yeah, what's the difference?

Nozzle size

 

[Fox2twenty]

Nozzle size

Ahhh ha. But I thought T400s were for 4-5mm? I guess t500 must be 5-6?

Not as far as that seller is concerned.

They refer to T400/T500 as the same 4.9mm ID.

So if you’re ordering from that seller I linked, feel free to use that nomenclature interchangeably.

I got T500 Medium Blacks from the seller.

I've been using them for half a day and they seem decent. It's a bit harder to put the ZS5 in my ear at first. The foam needs to compress a bit before I can insert it fully. Usually stuffing it in my ear will get the job done though.

Mid bass bloat is pulled back a bit I think. It doesn't bleed into the mids as much as it used to. I think treble is tamed somewhat as well. Honestly I like the sound out of both the stock starlines and these foamies, so no issues for me. The foamies have a bit more sound isolation as expected, although still not spectacular since the ZS5 is vented.

Look what just came in today!!

Spoiler

Can't wait to give these a shot. First time using foamies, and $9 for 20 pairs is a pretty damn good price.

Link Please..
