Good thing is that they are cheap. PHEW Stll must resist(doing mummy walk).
What about ZS3 vs W1 Pro? Yes I love my ZS3 but the mic button is hard to press for tracks change, and getting a new 7$ cable while a W1 Pro iem is at 6$...
I like my W1 Pro. It's very underrated.
Dirt cheap (under $5) and sooo comfortable. I often sleep in mine because they are so flat & comfy. I just wore mine today playing 54 holes of disc golf. I didn't even notice they were in, whereas when I wear the ZST, ZS3, ZN1, etc I have to take them out after 60-90 mins because my ears get sure. The stock cable is pretty nice too.
In stock form it sounds really 'meh' because it's a completely sealed housing (very compressed & slightly tinny). You simply make (2) tiny 1mm vent holes on each ear piece, & it turns the thing into a monster (once modded it sounds basically identical to the ZS3). You can use a 1mm drill bit (often included in Dremel accessory kits), or a needle works too.
You can make the vent holes anywhere on the housing. On original pair, I made them at the bottom in the skinny section below the words 'W1 PRO'. Sometimes my ear covers one of the holes though.
My 2nd pair, I made the holes identical to the Magaosi K3 PRO (which looks like the exact same shell as the W1 Pro):
See the 2 little vent holes? If you put them there, you don't even have to take apart the shells if you are careful and don't jam the drill bit in too far. Just pull the drill bit out the instant you pierce the plastic. If you do it that way, all of the plastic shavings stays outside too. The shells are easy to open up though - you can bite them in your teeth & they pop right apart if you really want to.
The vents don't need any mesh either, because they're so small.
As long as they are both 2-pin 0.75mm cables, then they would work.
Did this with needle (<1mm). Doesn't seem to improve clarity much (?) I even added another vent.
But one thing I am sure, the driver flex is still there.
EDIT: changed rubber tips -> silicone tips. This is what I'm looking forthe mod seems to give a little bit more airy feeling.
There's a Remax model that uses the same housing. Maybe they'd sharing their tuning too?

Thanks! I didn't know what size the connectors on the ZSX's were. The two cables I listed were 0.78mm so no good. Venture Electronics only has one 0.75mm option and it's a this one:
Makes things much easier. One angled VE cable and one straight KZ cable. Done!
It's hard to tell from the photo, but do you know if the tip of the cable you bought 'thins down' right at the tip.
Guess I could always email and ask them.
It couldn't hurt to ask for a few closeup photos of the tip. Or if they're willing to take measurements on their tip using a caliper, I'll measure my KZ tips and then you'll know for sure.
Although at the link you posted I was able to pull this photo, which looks pretty close to the KZ (same basic 'narrow down' shape anyways):

I emailed VE. I'll post the answer once he replies.
