i dont care about it.. But get well soon☺I have multiple sclerosis, but no hearing problems. Read above
My hearing is excellent. I actually had a trip to the audiologist a month ago where they did a frequency sweep test and the doctor said I'm above average for 26 years old. I have two ATR's from two different sources. No tip can make them sound good. They're lacking highs and they're lacking lows. I would not hesitate to say these are a $1 Walmart crane game toy, where the ED12's are a 25¢ machine grocery store prize. You get what you pay for and the ATR's are only $4. - the lowest of the KZ's. The ATE's are much better than the ATR's
I now trust almost nobody on this board because I personally brought back the ZST hype after some regulars shot them down as trash. Now everyone loves them and are pouncing on two different flavors of them.
Take what the big guys say as a grain of salt. They've been gaslighted by audiophile marketing. You'll only be able to tell slight differences in 83¢ opaml chips that are in every DAC and headphone amplifier. Oh and tubes are a crock of poop too (I built my own stereo tube amp with independent opamps and voltage regs for both channels, using nichicon gold capacitors, metal film resistors, etc). Any modern cell phone opamp playing 320k MP3 is all your ear is going to hear. Anything else is snake oil.
Someone needs to order 6 pairs of the ZST from 6 different stores.
I think there's massive inconsistency with their sound because there is one with their impressions.
Check out the prices from gearbest too.
If u hv a "good" dap...the zst shld be fine. Zst aint good off my fone...abit tin-ny..spikey. Great on my x10 NEW dap..the separation..clarity..love it for classicals.
I may have to agree on you with this one. I didn't find my ZST that amazing vs my ZS3, I'm still trying to figure what went wrong. Maybe I need to order the candy version and see if there is any inconsistency. Hmmmm.
I would also have to agree with you both, I'm not yet sure why I'm not loving the ZST more like everbody does but what I did notice is that this monitors are quite sensitive to sources. I've been swapping my sources since last night and I really find it better sounding using my laptop. Maybe I have set my expectations very high of the ZST? I dunno, I may need to play around with this boys more.
I just put my ATR's in. Hospital room is quiet. Let's go over a few songs from Classic Rock to EDM. I've been using the Tennmak's exclusively, so I'm used to a warmer sound.
I will finish this tomorrow. My meds just kicked in and I'm about to crash. Goodnight, my snake oil friends!
My suggestion is to leave it till you are feeling better. Personally I think your snake oil comment highlights your frame of mind and it's coming across badly.
Anyone willing to lend me a pair of the ZS3's? I have tiny ears, but big ear canals for some reason so I'm not sure if they case of them will fit. I'd rather try before I buy. I'd be willing to send you the the tennmak pro's as collateral since I'm somewhat new here. I'll pay shipping both ways.
