ZS10's fit is known to be pretty detrimental. Big body, short nozzle...doesn't make for the most secure fit. I had some success using the memory wire to keep it in place for a while, but ultimately just canned them altogether. They weren't for me.I have never had this problem before, but I am having a difficult (!) time getting my ZS10 to stay in my ears. Does anyone else experience this with KZ products? What can I do to ameliorate it? Thanks!

Got it--thanks very much.ZS10's fit is known to be pretty detrimental. Big body, short nozzle...doesn't make for the most secure fit. I had some success using the memory wire to keep it in place for a while, but ultimately just canned them altogether. They weren't for me.
I ended up using a shiny rather sticky tip that I have no idea what they came with

My biggest concern with hybrids is that one drop could screw em up so I always keep em in cases when not in my ears. Drop them when they are inside the case and you are going to be fine. No case, and its always a possibility that a BA gets jacked.
BTW there some really nice cases on AE. If you cant wait for the shipping. If not, I bought an 8 pack off amazon for $12. They are great and they all have clips attached so I can clip em to belt loops or my backpack or whatever.
Got a link to the Amazon ones with belt clips?
Yea... Looks like I fibbed a bit. Memory gets fuzzy when you get to 43. Looking at my order history from Amazon these are the 2 I bought. 5 pack for $9 shipped. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y5TBNZS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
These are great. A bit bigger then the others, and come with a cloth baggy. Remember to apply the $1 off coupon.
Then I bought these. 6 pack for $10. A bit smaller then previous. Thought the colors would be good for some reason. Like oh! Blue case=Blue Bq3's, but that's dumb. What to do with Pink and Yellow? Buy 2 Auglamour F300's?

I did not buy these but this is what my brain was thinking. 8 pack for $12.

Yesterday I was quite happy about the comfort of the KZ ZS7, although I reviewed them after just 10 minutes of use. Now, having used them at night and in during the day I am starting to feel pain in my ears because of the metal case, somehow it's hurting some areas I don't know why.

Just do what I did.

I ordered the ZS7 today. If I don't like it I'm quitting this group for making me want to spend so much money. #justwanttobeacceptedintothecoolcrowd

If you have access to a 3D printer, perhaps you could make a small adapter that snaps or glues onto the IEM nozzle and extends it out a bit?

When you say “during the night”, do you mean you slept with them in?

Yes, it’s on my to do list. I’m also planning some CCA reviews as soon as they arrive.
In the mean time, there’s a number of ZS7 reviews:

@TechnoidFR posted a video review, but it’s in French and wasn’t sure if you spoke French or not.

I'm not sure if that's the problem, how can I know before doing something that cannot be undone?Just do what I did.

Don't you ZS7 owners have pain because of the "bulky" case. Or may be it's simply that I must get used to them?
For example, I remember the first week I used a on-ear headphones, even though they were "soft", after a few minutes or hours my ears would start to hurt like hell, and it was simply the little "pressure" a on-ear headphone does. I don't know if this is a similar situation.
