Love the ZST cable, as it always results in a better fit around the ear. Nice job bud.

I wish KZ would just standardize on that cable for all of the detachable IEMs.
You are right. That straight cable sticks out of my ear/head let's say unnaturaly. That 45deg. connector nicely turns around on my ear. Much better after a little modification.

Cold solder joints happen to all manufacturers, even Apple (more than you know). Apple surely has better QC than KZ right?

Even a pair of my Sennheisers had a cold joint I ended up redoing. So what?
Nothing really, just the facts in all electronics, but pretty consistent wih ChFi it seems. As far as Apple- Never had anything Apple, never will. jmo nothing more.

By the way zse is a lateral move from es3. Just dynamic vs ba difference in treble tuning. Big bass sound reminds me of headphones.

But I was wondering 4 wires come down from the y split to the 3.5 plug. Does this mean single ended wiring is done only at the plug?
Or is the minus left and minus right connectd at the y split?

Could smeone find out from one of your spare unused kz headphone cable?

Which kz earphones would you recommend for a black/death metal fan?

Run, don't walk, from the ED4.

They are only useful as cat toys, or to possibly throw at someone you don't like.

Sometimes I feel like the ZS5v1's has too much sub bass, but I think it's just perfect. They can be absolute bass cannons if the song is mastered like that. I feel like the sub bass can nicely tuck itself away if not needed.

ZS5v1's impress me every day. I probably have 200-300 hours on these already.

Hi, Guys!

I've been reading this and a lot of Head-Fi threads but never showed up, hiding in the shadows. Is actually a pleasure to have such a great place to discuss audio things and get into detailed, technical information. ''Claps'' to Phonograph, AproEar too.

My audio gear are quite common: AKG 404/414 (a 7, 8 years veteran with some ridiculous mods mixing them), and old Porta Pro, 15$ Sony earbuds, Philips 3060, Senn HD 238i, Motorola Pulse, QKZ, iLuv, Mercury, ZST Color, ED4, ATR, ATE-S, ED2, ES3. :beyersmile: Most products in BR are quite expensive - due to taxes, old tributary system plus ten thousand problems not exactly related to carnaval, samba or football. Really. Including college and not born myself as a rich sir. China helps me a lot so to say.

I'm considering buying the ZS3 this week to use in Bus rides situations. People said they block outside sounds like no other cheap in-ear solution. And a 70$, 60U$ DAC/AMP for my little, still capable these days, Z3 Compact. Probabily S.M.S.L M2, Topping NX1/NX2, Auglamour or even FiiO A3.

What y'll think? Would be smart wait for the ''ZS4/ZSR/ZS?'' release?

Tks for now!

Looks like the KZ ZS6 is on massdrop right now. $37.99 and shipping November 21st.

It's on Gearbest for $28 free shipping, and in stock now vs waiting a month.

I have never been impressed at Massdrop's prices. Maybe I just haven't found that "deal of the century" there yet. Just like Woot, it seems they give you a few dollars off Amazon, making the average Joe feel like they're getting a "deal". Usually you can get almost everything on other sites for much cheaper.
