My KZ ED3c died this week. They served me for over two years. : (

I can't find a good source to buy these from anymore. (Suggestions are welcome!)

Is there anything (new and) comparable out there from KZ?

There are a couple on ebay... located in the UK but will post to other countries.

Nope. There are definitely 2 versions of the ZS6. The v1's were treble screamers, v2's have that pulled back A LOT. New does not sound the same as the old. I bought a new pair thinking they'd be the same and I was very disappointed. They kind of sound the same as everything else now lol.

Got it. Are you interested in buying one of my Zs6 V1s? if so PM me.

Synergy is a strange thing, isn't it? I have unlocked the potential of the ZS10 Pro by using a 16 core TRN cable and the medium bore tips from the TRN V90. It's sounding better than ever and I think I now prefer it to the ZSX, making it my favourite KZ so far. Comfort is also better and the fatigue I was experiencing before has now disappeared. They look cool, too!

I always thought that synergy refers to IEMs and the source? But good for you man!

You beat me to it.

Couldn't have said it better! That's exactly what I meant.

...and that was the dictionary definition. I love google. Sometimes I even google a word to make sure I am spelling it right. Of course you would say I spell "color" wrong

In my earlier post about the ZS10 Pro I should have mentioned that I still have a soft spot for the ZS7, still one of the most enjoyable IEMs in my collection!

ZS10 Pro and ZS7 lover? A HeadFier after my own heart

Yes! They both have that elusive "musicality" which doesn't appear on a FR chart!

And don’t forget that steely sound that makes us all chuckle more on a daily basis!

The ZS7 is a special one, vented it has above average soundstage for an IEM, and it also helps that it has more sub than mid-bass, which is well controlled and doesn't bleed into mids (contrary to ZS10 pro) so it sounds really quite open, I like it.

That's how I hear it. I find the mids very organic (probably due to the 31005 BA) and the treble lacks that edge so often found on KZ IEMs. The TRN V90 which is also vented is another favourite of mine.

CCA C12 treble mod

• This mod tames only high frequency 30095 BA. Can be used also on KZ ZSX.

1. Remove the grill. Remaining glue will still be useful. There is a BA tweeter right under that.
   
   
2. Place taming material on the top of the BA nozzle and cover it with the grill. Material should hold in place, because there is a very little space between BA and grill.
   

• I have very good results with adhesive tape or patch. I'll also try a tissue.
  
  
• Treble is now placed far from head, darker, less airy. Its very musical for me, when listening to rock or metal music. Voices are same, but hi-hats or cymbals are tamed.

My findings on the C12 mimic yours: bright, but not sibilant

If I hadn’t bought the TRN V90 (more to my liking) at the same time as the CCA C12. I would definitely try dampening that front BA; I did the same thing to my KZ ZS4, with a rolled piece of tissue.

Luckily a friend of mine loves the C12, plugged directly into his iPhone.

thanks for sharing.
