What you got is correct. ZS7 only comes with the three pairs of Starlines. The large ones looked pretty messed up though :S

Yeah, totally agree. Those tips look like they have been food processor!

 

[courierdriver]

Aw... =*(

On a positive note, I am liking the sound signature of the ZS7 alot, like, ALOT!

 

[courierdriver]

I'm agree with you, i love the smooth side of the ZS7, ZS10 Pro is less fun, and lullaby ( or rocking ? don't know which word used ). The ZS7 is clearly my prefered KZ, great combo with C16. if you search the enhance of ZS7, go Yin Topaz ( in my description ).

Geez, you guys! I love my ZS10 PRO but from everything I've been reading on this thread...I might have to buy the ZS7 too. Damnit!

I’m following this thread and reading about tip choices so I tried a bunch of “tip rolling” and found all kinds of new sound from C16 and my M6,
Tin T3’s are arriving tomorrow and I can’t wait to hear them even more. I’ve been on headfi awhile now but since I got the BA10’s from KZ I’ve been reading everyday and you folks here have written the most useful new info and minutiae that make such extreme changes sometimes in the sound I must acknowledge it. “Y’all ROCK” !!

Here is an old Zen X-fi I’ve had and enjoyed very much ....anybody else got one?

These latest QCYs are wonderful, boomy bass has smoothed way out with hardly any hours on these yet. $26 for these is really crazy inexpensive, I wonder how much ChiFi we’ll loose access to with the trade BS going on??
Welcome ZUNE enjoy the ride it gets better and better, you’ve got a fantastic start I must say!

I still have an old Zen Micro 5g. Does that count?

Ya don’t think these gonna return back to normal shape lol

I’m sure there’s someone out there whose ears would fit those perfectly!

The DAP is the new Benjie X6 and the iem's are the KZ DT5's released I believe 5-6 years ago and now out of production.

I checked it out, but not alot of info. Does this thing do DSD? Can you use a bigger SD card than the 128g it says? Is the USB out also a USB audio out? I'd love to buy this, and hook it up via USB to my Fiio Q1MK2, instead of my smartphone.

I have zishan ak4497eq and Z3. Shanling m0 too

Oh my God the quality of zishan! So better and so awesome. This sound ! I use only them and not my smartphone to listen my music

Hrm. I think I do want one of KZ's new cables, but KZ doesn't have any listed and I'm wary of buying from any other vendors given the first-batch QC issues (maybe the CCA store), and now my brain's going ooooooh AS10 or maybe try the CCA A10 or maybe cheaping out and getting the AS06 and the middle of those two would require C-style ends and oh yeah my brain also remembered I also am really tempted by the Sennheiser IE 40 Pro (if they'd had a demo model in their SF store I'd probably have impulse bought one if it had sounded good)... >->

KZ still hasn't re-listed their Aptx HD/Bluetooth 5.0 module on their own store. *headscratch* Maybe I'll message one of the other stores that still has it listed and ask if they are stocking the fixed version so that worst case if I get a lemon I can go hey you promised no lemons and hopefully get something other than citrus. Hm.

(And yes I know I'm being a tad impatient, but the sooner I lock down an order the sooner I can stop window-shopping incompatible IEMs. Also they're still advertising it on their storefront but the link is dead.)

 

[Mybutthurts]

No it won't. We are all allowed to like what we like I like my old ZS10 and am not particularly interested in getting a C16. I have a couple of single driver iems on the way

This +1.

Not interested in either the CCA or KZ *16 models, as Brit on a pension can't afford them anyways

I still use the original ZS10 as a late evening listen...it mellows me out.
If I use it during the day then i use my FIIO A3 amp with them.

Well, this will make you feel better about not being able to afford the AS16. Enjoy!

Law of diminishing returns.

Yes, and it makes me feel better...

Put them in a tea cup and pour really hot water over them and let them soak til it is cool... maybe that would do something. I would certainly try it. Really curious now...

 

[KimChee]

ZS7 and CCA C16 is a hell of a combo.

Geez, you guys! I love my ZS10 PRO but from everything I've been reading on this thread...I might have to buy the ZS7 too. Damnit!

Just ran into this on the "Home Made IEMs" thread - Post 1436 - Oct, 12 2012
"Sooner or later, some Chinese company is going to roll out with a sub-$100 dual-BA universal IEM. I can just smell it."

Nice sense of smell, buddy ...keep it up!

I smell something too! I think it's corpse. I know, because recently I was out gravedigging too, and found myself wanting to give a like to a cadaver from 2010. We might have too much time on our hands is my humble conclusion.

So what’s the word on the 20 driver? Anyone know any secrets yet?

The dark secret is that giving a driver for each kilohertz is discrimination. It's kilo-identitarian politics and we'll have none of it! Every little forgotten Hertz deserves its own driver! Revolution!!!
