Has any one tried to remove the memory steel wire from the ZS5 cable?

The wire can be completely snagged out or should I just cut it?[/USER]

The memory wire can be slipped out without cutting it on KZ's upgrade cables, but thus far I've had to just cut/break away the stock cable ones.
(though personally, I've taken to actually leaving about 1/4 inch of wire and shrink tubing to give some strain relief)

I don't like the way they fit... I have ZST and they are much more comfortable without the steel wire...

Move it around in a circular motion and it will just pop out

I really love the ZS6. Pretty much everything about it. Has to be one of the best values in IEMs out there currently.

I got 4 KZs for Christmas! ....well, I bought them for myself, and they have been trickling in over the last few weeks, so...it's not quite as surprising as that first statement would lead you to believe....
But still it's fun. I did a simple cosmetic mod on my ES3 this morning. I am not a fan of branding in general, and the writing on the sides of the ES3 is kind of confusing and silly (does the thing in my ear look like it says SEX in a fancyfont?) |
So I took some 1,500 grit sand paper to them

here's the final product...it doesn't show up well, but it has a satin finish, not mottled like the picture seems to show...it's the angle of the picture that makes it look uneven

It is a fun way to make sure you get your Christmas wish granted.
I actually did the same thing, since my birthday is near the holiday, I combined my "self shopping".
I also just received ZST, and ES3, along with ZS6.
I am interested in your take on the ZST vs ES3 sound comparison. This is my first listen with either of these.

I too am curious about that! I haven't received my ZST yet, it got hung up at Gearbest. I included a 'mystery bag' and the item in the mystery bag was out of stock...I don't know why they didn't just put a different mystery item in there, but whatever...the system glitched and so my item got delayed...I made 6 orders, all with coupons,I sort of crossed my fingers and figured SOMETHING would get messed up... only one of them had an issue, and it was easily fixed. Gearbest and George were really responsive...the system needs a little work, but overall, I'm really pleased. I am looking forward to hearing ES3 vs ZST...my next order will have a splitter so I can a/b them and a hard case, that I forgot to get the first time around. I have some foam tips coming at some point from another user here and then I will be able to better compare all my new KZs.

I really like my ES3 out of the three I have so far... I think they look cool too. It has sort of a 'pro' look...compared to a lot of IEMs out there, ESPECIALLY when you consider the price point of these ($10-$12) they look like they are something a musician uses, you can't just pick a set of these up at Walmart or Bestbuy...

I found a new storage solution for my IEMs...I had some art supplies in the closet, including a couple of VERY nice sets of pastels that came in a sort of jewelry box with shallow drawers and a lot of foam padding. I took the unopened box and set aside the pastels and as you can see they fit 2 sets of IEM per drawer. As a bonus I got some more acoustic foam! The liners in the box I am going to try out as treble filters in the cups of some of my brighter headphones and possibly as BA nozzle filters.

I have been giving my ES3 a good listen today, and so far pretty surprised at the sound per dollar performance. Much clearer highs and mids than I anticipated. Once these gems are "broken in" I think the bottom end will surprise me just as much. Been listening mainly to jazz.
My ZST are less impressive, but I found that the left ear has significantly less loudness. I was listening to Google play music on my Huawei tablet, and the sound was really annoying. When I changed my settings to mono, the issue appears to be a possible blockage. Volume is about 25% lower in the left ear. I'll pull the grill and see whats up, but I am going to order another ZST, impressions I have read are much better than even what I hear from my right ear.

Looks like they're listed on GearBest now (only 2 of the 4 colors at the moment), but George mentioned in another thread that there was going to be a discount on 1/1, so it might be worth waiting a few days. https://www.gearbest.com/earbud-headphones/pp_1512918.html
