I do recommand to you the ZSR. Night and day with the ZS3 (I have) considering medium and trebles details !
The bass are better than the ZS3, even more punchy and deep.
The voices are well present & detailed (even if on the ZS6 the level is higher)
The trebles are very detailed (On the ZS3, for me the trebles are weak with very few details. even with silver cable and foam removed)

Think i'm gonna pick a pair if i see them on sale at a good price point, now they cost a lil bit out of my budget.

They are not as contoured as the ZS3, more of a generic shape. Very comfortable to me, but everyone is different. There is only one way to find out.

I will try contacting uiisii to get a discounted sample maybe in exchange of a review here.

just received my ZS5's ... I think they sound great, but how the hell does anyone get them to sit securely in their ears ?!!!
I'm using my usual sized spiral dot tips and they just keep popping out .

GRRRRR....

Try foam tips : i had several problems with many iems (even zs3) like yours, and i can say that when u try foam tips, u never go back.
You lose a very little bit of bass but you're pleased to listen to your music as the in-ear fits perfectly and doesn't pop off.

Worth a try, but I think they are already an amazing price on Amazon. Gearbest has them at $30.

hmmm, will try altho never got on with foam tips before, I find they diminish sub bass and sound stage

Try one size up

LOL, I'm using the largest size ... think its more an issue with the actual shape of the housings.

Many people tipped this to me, but i just can't understand if the shape is similiar to the kz zs3.
Are they big? I remember my zs3 was way uncomfortable to me as i have a real little ear.

Here are some photos of the shape and size compared to ZST (I don't have ZS3). Also, you should know that there are 2 variants - black cable ('male size') and white cable ('female size') - they are a few mm smaller.

Crazy as it sounds, try one size smaller.

Another possibility, the KZ Whirlwind style. I find that the spiral bit adds a small amount of extra rigidity to the shell of the ear tip so I get both a better seal and a tighter (just slightly) fit.

Are you using the cable with the memory wire ear guides? Maybe the stiffness of the memory wire is snapping the housing of your ears. By all means, cut them off. (The wires, not the ears).
Also, foam tips should help.

I didn't feel less soundstage.
Subbass is a bit less deeper but u gain something in detail and comfort.

You have v1 (1BA in nozzle) or v2 (2BA in nozzle)? I luv my ZS5v1 so much that I`m considering another v2 for surgery and mod since v1 isn`t available anymore.... BUT... I`m holding on and saving up to IT01.
Btw, for tips try these ones that come only with this cheapo IEM: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New...phone-Earphone-Free-Shipping/32800300429.html

They are longer, cone shaped, large bore and soft "skirt" with medium softness tube that is smaller but stretches and holds very well for ZS5.

I'm trying to decide on a bluetooth setup for working out/sports. Any suggestions for some bluetooth cables along with some sweatproof/waterproof headphones? I'm been reading up on the forums and having a hard time sorting it out.

I had the same issue when I got my ZS6. Triple flanges solved it for me.

Inexpensive detailed Mid-High? I'd honestly consider earbuds, maybe the Auglamour RX-1.

+1 for Triple Flange too. They stick out slightly but for staying in your ears plus sound quality plus being silicone (longer lasting than foam) is worth it, imho.
