ZS3, left earphone is weak / tinny?
Just got my ZS3's I ordered from eBay seller "simplenature" back on Sept 01 (darn shipping). The packaging, fit & finish were all very impressive for the price. Unfortunately, the left earphone can't keep up with the right - I messed around with all the available tips (including some of my own that fit me well), but it still sounds unsealed. Very hollow, weak, and doesn't isolate nearly as well.
I'd think this was due to a bad fit with my ear, but even reversing the phones and jamming them in the opposite ears to test doesn't change the output - the right phone sounds great, left not so much.
Guess I should to return these and do a fresh order from gearbest?
It could be the size of your ear canal. This happend with my ed7 i thought the left side was weaker then right but with the right tip it fixed the problem.
I would use foam tips you have lying around just for testing purposes. Use a player and switch to MONO then change the balance L to R and back and see if a difference. Or switch the IEM - left and write - put the right in the left ear... Could be defective.
