I have to make sure the headphones for my personal use are less aesthetically pleasing than the ones my wife and daughter already have. So basically, I look for the best sounding ugliest designs I can find as I am more likely to get to keep them that way.

I think I'm safe, as long as they don't have Hello Kitty or Minions on them.
I have given the pink and blue ZST to a few in my family, but they don't get used much...

Those are the kind my wife really wants...

$11.99 won't buy happiness, but it will get my wife a set of cat earphones on GearBest, and that's close...

It's been a long time since I last posted. I didn't need anymore IEM's but you guys/gals with your KZ's sucked me back into the vortex. Here's my comments on the ZS6 and Zsr. I love them both for different reasons. The ZS6 is so precise and detailed. I haventh found them sibilant after about 100 hours burn in and some wide bore tips. I did apply some stick on metal grid filters on top of the stock ones.

My ZSR's are warmer in the mids and fatter in the bass. Very relaxing compared to my ZS6's. My ZS6's are the later ones with the qq.com address. I have a second pair on order from Ali also gray. I will see if they sound the same. My ZS6's dug into my ears so I used an Emory board and 3000 grit sand paper to round off the edges. I am posting a pic to show the mod.

I was looking to post a link for the EDR2 in another thread and when looking through listings on Aliexpress.com I got a bit confused. Some stores listed 2 colors, a silver and a darker pewter or grey color. I thought that the EDR1 was the dark color and the EDR2 was the silver or aluminum color. Am I wrong.

Oops, the pic didn't load onoyhetfirst try...
I had to do that mod to my ZS5s. Luckily my ZS6s fit much better. They do get a bit colder in the winter, so I've been using my Superlux 681s as earmuffs instead.
