Just loving the new W 1 Pro cable guides for 2016. They listened and made them stiffer, resulting in something very close to perfect!

Just ordered 2x 5th gen ATE from GB, again, they are just that good and in modified configuration pretty near to my personal subjective SQ perfection ;P
 
ZST has to wait... again.

ZST has arrived...
 
put on my reading glasses, and some audiophile commonsense
managed to get the wires hooked up..the right n left way :p
 
The shells sit very easy on my ears, comfy...much more than ZS3. 
 
From the first sec, i can sense an ease this iem puts out music,
fine, well separated spread of sonic cues. No swarming bass-al sound.
Running thru the diff genres now.. hmmm..din find any glaring weakness yet;
 
i felt, the ZST sounds a class above all the KZs i have thus far.
( havent bot the ATE, but doubt i will need it)
 
If u are still cherrypicking...hit the BUY mutton now.  :p

Every time i contemplating about buying zst, i listen to my ATE which act as some kind of reality check about how it is impossible to get a better sound than this unless i shell out at least $50 for ath im50.

@Lorspeaker Did you get the black ZST or the colorful ZST "pro"?

The black ones.... cant read mandarin...the Taobao website with all the other cable options looks tempting. 
Wish Gearbest willl keep up with that site too ....but at a better price :))))))))

I've been using the ZST for about 5 days now, and am still loving it! It might be due to the W-shaped signature (I don't really have any similar IEMs), but it's my go-to IEM for a fun sound. If I want something warmer, I'd take out my VSD3. $11 USD for the colorful version (11.11 sale) was a fantastic deal, and I'd recommend them even if they are $18USD!

How is the soundstage on yours? I just listened to some classical music and I'm able to pick out X-Y & even Z axis. It's awesome.

 I think soundstage width is very good, though imaging does feel more oval shaped compared to my U12 (which costs like 100x more haha).

My Colorful ZST has arrived in the US, so hopefully by Tuesday or so. I'm really hoping it'll be a budget hybrid I enjoy, as of the 3 hybrids I've tried so far (all at different price points) two I found boring. The only one I like was expensive, and frankly probably doesn't perform competitively for the price.

after falling in love with my ZSTs, would anyone know which connectors would fit them, as i'd like to be able to modify a bluetooth upgrade cable to fit them, as i've looked around aliexpress, and ebay, and couldn't see which connectors would fit, although ultimate ears triple Fi 10 connectors seem the most likely to fit.
