The newest Gray one has the lip and I personally find little difference in isolation in the 5 and 6.

Any sound difference between the Grey (that's advertised as bassier) and the others according to you?

Never thought of it like that, had the first one at 22 and my second at 44! Doubt the current is going to want to try in four more years for # 4 when I'm 66 (won't be for not trying though)

Just need the Greens to round out my diet

Greens are coming here on May 14th, order now:

Wow, $48.99. In all honesty I believe the ZS6 is easily a $50 iem

@stryed I find them to sound a little more lively, for some that may translate to bassier but to me they come off as sounding more efficient than the originals (Red, Black & Green)

Which version has the lip by the way?

The newest Gray one has the lip...

Some of the newest grey ZS6 have the lip. And, some of the newest non-grey ZS6 have the lip too!

It's basically luck of the draw. My advice is to not order it expecting the lip, and if it arrives with a lip then it's like getting an extra cherry on top your sundae!

Nope, I busted that myth. Even backed it up with FR measurements. And I have 6 pairs I tested. Any slight variances between individual ZS6 are due to QC variations only.

The "extra bass" name is just marketing voodoo. All ZS6 are 100% exactly the same other than color (and some have the eartip lip).

LOL, or not and then your cherry is popped Come to think of it I don't even think I've checked my black pair

So does my green one have a lip on the nozzle?

Photo is blurry and it's hard to tell.

Here's a clearer photo - see the lip at the very end of the nozzle? Compare this to yours and see if yours has this lip:

Yes, that is why I tried to shine some light on the nozzle, which shows the break at the end of the nozzle.

Cool. Looks like you're one of the lucky ones

In your photo, it looks your camera/phone focused on the cable that was passing directly in front of the IEM. That made everything else be out of focus (including the nozzle tip).

Love the gray/pewter pair and I've no qualms with paying full price for them either. Even though it's KZ's most expensive model, Amazon's $46 is a good price.

BTW, are those cables holding up well (has oxidation set in - gone green)?

So, it seems that the KZ ZSAs will only have 1 BA and 1 DD per side. They may not even be the KZ YZ35 models from the KZ 2018 list? http://www.thephonograph.net/kz-zsa-officially-announced-news/

The ZS10s are going for $59 on Amazon right now lol! I got a new pair of the silver cables https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B2PH2M9/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_q6q8Ab1G8H6D3 Seem to be pretty solid although they'll probably just be back ups for when the TRN bluetooth batteries die. They last all day so I probably won't use them much.

While it may be true that the ZS6 is better than most $50 iems, I would rather have the Tin Audio T2 that retails at $50. Since I got mine at recent the Ali sale for $32, I consider the two to be in a similar price range. The T2 is just very special. In fact, I just did an A/B comparison with my AT-M50's and the T2s were much more detailed and with a more defined low end.
