Question regarding the latest 2 KZs I have tried (Zsr, Zs10). Has anyone else noticed a metric ton of driver flex in both of these when inserting them? I am finding that when inserting either of the most recent ones I have received they have very pronounced and very audible driver flex, I am finding the seal to be a bit better with Foams on the Zs10 but I still am pretty dissappointed with the overall sound signature and I am wondering if the driver flex is indicating that I got a pair that shouldn't have passed QC of it is just inherent to the design.

I personally haven't experienced driver flex in a KZ since the DT5.

I don't notice driver flex on either. I do notice it on most of my tfz's and ibasso it01s.Question regarding the latest 2 KZs I have tried (Zsr, Zs10).

Not sure how it would be a qc issue though..... I thought driver flex was all pressure related and usually has to do with movement/insertion on DDs

Isn't driver flex an UBER thing?
Anyone can give a quick comparison between ZS10 and the Magosi K5/**** H5?
Same as me, has anyone got these on here?

That's twice in one day @mbwilson111
Do you want to correct him for me?

I have the K5, just not the ZS10.

Driver flex is a pressure issue but can be related to qc if you get a diaphragm with a weak spot, a thinner than spec diaphragm, or the like.

I love it!
The original version had some hissing issues with the cable. They updated it with a new cable that's beautiful and solved the problem. It's called the "Upgrade cable v2.0 edition" or something similar.
I haven't written a review on it yet, but there is some info/impressions here:

I picked up a Red/Black KZ zippered case for my Red/Black ZS6, also new TRN replacement cable (wanted that angled connector to fit better around ear).
One thing I don't like the cable is that the transparent shrink wrap is molded. Is there any way to reshape them? Do I need a heat gun to blow it while holding it to shape?
