hey.

small size ed9 eartips are too small for my ear, and medium size is too big. what do you recommend me? i want eartips with hard material used inside and soft material on the outside, thus it wont twist inside of my earcanal and not uncomfortable either.

OK things I've read about the ZN1 & ZS1~

ZN1 may have the channels wired reversed (deal killer for me)
ZN1 has a lot of noise while using amp (also a deal killer)
ZN1 does not work with some equipment in passive mode (I listen to cd's not ripped files)
ZN1 wiring is not logical for wearing them around (not an issue as I'm always sitting??)

ZS1 is still not available 
ZS1 lacks bass
ZS1 does not sound like ZN1 in passive mode
ZS1 may have channels wired in reverse


Please advise...


Just received my zs1, 7 days from when I ordered from amazon and shipped to California.

Bass is not lacking as long as I push the nozzles deeper into my ears.

I like the sound better than zn1's passive mode, which I returned because of the amp design and channel reversal.

The channels on my zs1 are not reversed.

However, my biggest issue with zs1 is with the fit, specifically the memory wire. After many practices I found the best way to wear them, but even that requires a bit of adjustment every time I listen to them.

What's the best fir tor the ZS1?
 
I've seen a photo where the cable goes up and around the ear, and I thought they could be used with a 'standard' fit, but I am not sure anymore.
 
And are they comfortable to wear?
 
I was going to buy them but I have some doubts about their desing

Somehow I'd missed the fact they had mem wire until the other day. I haven't had great luch with it. So does it look as if the ear pieces are the same ( zs1 / zn1) ? Glad they don't sound like the Zn1's in passive. I fortunately had good luck with the Zn1's and was hoping the signature aligned at some point but were simple to wear. You know no fuss no muss easy to put in and just plus and play, doesn't quite sound like that. Looking forward to hear what you think of them.

I don't think you can wear them cable-down style because of the memory wire. Cable-up and around the ear is the only way. The large housing and the position of the nozzles don't make them very comfortable to wear if you have smaller ears. The memory wire does have one advantage, i.e., making them very secure when you exercise.

Thanks, they look identical to the klipsch oval tips, the most comfortable tips I've ever used. Only problem is that they are very small bore so won't fit everything. Will order one and see.
 
Thanks again!

So I've had my HDS1 for awhile now and can say without a doubt I hate the cable, worst microphonics of any of my Kz's. The sound though is excellent... and I still have the stock tips on them! Never even felt the need to try another and that is most definitely a first for me. 
I think the sound is similar to the ED9 but HDS1 has something in its presentation (especially of percussion) that I may enjoy more than the ED9's. Listening to Bela Fleck and the Flecktones ~ Live at the Quick I was really impressed with the way everything was being presented but felt the ED9 might have a bit more refinement overall. I can't believe I'm talking about a 6 and 12 dollar headphone!
 
At any rate the HDS1 is amazing for 6 bucks and the fit and comfort are phenomenal as well. I can't see anyone complaining about this hp as it punches so far above its price point. The only issue for me is that freaking cable...

+1, I agree with everything you've said
 
I go over the ear with my KZ HDS1. It works great and eliminates the cable noise
