Hey Tim, I back the Panda on this one:wink: My order of preference is ZS6, T & 5V1 but we all hear them a little differently:thinking:

2 x KZT 2 pins ( chrome tip with the red and blue indicators ) as I will mod one of them to fit my ZS5 or ZS6, KZ MMCX connectors to try on my **** UEs, grey ZS5/ZS6 cable and in the box should be the copper looking upgrade cable for my ZST.

Third vote to add to Panda and Podster.

ZS6 is now my go-to for most circumstances. Much easier to drive than my ZS5 v1 with the pedestrian source gear I own, with less recessed mids and better sub-bass.

2nd go-to is the ZS3, believe it or not. Less treble-centric sound signature is a nice change of pace from more recent KZs and better isolation makes it good for areas with high ambient noise.

ZS5 v1 is the go-to for music broadcasts on Periscope or Facebook Live. They give that uncanny "in the room with the performer" feel I can't get with any of my other earphones or headphones.

Those look awfully familiar. I bought several awhile back from the same vendor. Be prepared for them to be solid green within 3 to 6 months if they are like mine.

Looking good so far, I just had to trim off the useless memory wire and the clear film.

Got plenty more snipping to do for all the other cables. This cable looks the same as the normal silver upgrade cable so without a doubt it will be green soon.

This thread has turned into green cable showroom. Even more expensive cables are prone to this, nothing much can be done really. I've posted these pics months ago but appears to be relevant again, here is a Shure transparent cable (around 30$ officially) after 1 year of regular usage, 1 - 2 hours a day on average.

Sad, it really ruined the otherwise clean look. The point is, if you want to avoid this, get non-transparent cables.
