2.99? are you sure? It's unbelievable. So cheap. I like KZ ZS6 earphones. They are quite good for the price
Coupon code sale at GearBest. Quite unbelievable! It was the ZST version of the cable, so I will have to modify it to fit my ZS6.

Edit: I found the coupon code in this post:

Yeah. Seems like something like that while still small could have way better battery life than a tiny pack designed to be a fashionable bump in a regular cable.

Yeah, the Xiaomi Bluetooth adapter works great. I use it with full sized headphones all of the time. I was I just using it with Fidelio X2 yesterday.

Yeah. I've seen at least 5 people in a local audiophile fb group whom had bought new stocks of ZS3 (white box) that are complaining about driver failure. Their right earpiece are completely shot. No sound.

Well that’s not a good sign at all.

So it’s always the right earpiece that’s died on all of them? How odd...

Isn't the more the routing (more complex, more stages, more complicated) from the source to the speakers will causing more unwanted deviation toward the original sound??
Sorry as I'm an EE and believe in the more simple connection (prefer direct connection) from source to the end will have less deviation from the original as every single add on will contribute to artificial deviation from the source... just my 2 cents :beerchug:
It depends on the use.
In my case, as I use the line out from the dap, or from any other source like a cd player, the amp acts as intended. If I where to use the headphone out, I would be adding layers of distortion to the signal, as I would be amping an amplified signal.

But then you need to plug a 1.2m cable into that BLuetooth adapter and wind it around your neck or something?

Something special has happened, my ZS5 have finally arrived!
Ordered on 8 november for $12,99 + $1,17 shipping, arrived on 14 december.
Also received my bluetooth module on the same day that was ordered on 27 nov.
But since the pins are pretty hard to plug in, I can't see myself switching a lot. Got the nice grey-ish upgrade cable on it now. (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New...32831364422.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.eCPoyH)

That cable is great, it never tangles and looks good. If the "memory" wire section becomes uncomfy, is very easy to remove with a exacto and pliers.
