Don't want to disappoint anyone, but as i expected... the 4 driver's not gonna be metal. And they're preparing for release after labour day. It's kinda huge disappointment for me tho
ZST Colorful for good balance (and looks), ZS3 for bass (and comfort), and ATR as the best $5 you will ever spend.
(offtopic) You just joined when HeadFi got bad lol.

oh my... what a mess H-fi is atm.
But I wouldn`t call ZST quite balanced, it still has little bass and treble emphasis and I would call it rather slight V-shaped IEM

Can anyone tell me what is the diameter of the speaker stem of the ZS3? I'm trying to get a set of aftermarket tips for the ZS3.

5mm, but keep in mind there is no lip to hold tips on.
Edit: Since I had them out I decided to toss them in for a listen. Forgot just how good they were.

Thank you!
One more thing, what aftermarket tips would you most likely recommend to improve the fit and sound of the ZS3?

Cheers!
I use mine with Ultimate Ears tips. KZ's "Starline" tips are great with them. Look like these. They might come with them now for all I know.
Others I'm sure will have some good suggestions

What is your opinion on the Sony Hybrids (both normal ones and the foam filled ones), Auvio tips and Spinfits?Cheers!

Haven't tried Auvio or Spinfit before. Love Sony Hybrid tips (both types), but I find they boost mid-bass a bit much for my preferences with the ZS3. Prefer something with a wide bore.

I really like these.

They perform like a silicon/foam hybrid, aren't sticky, are comfortable and fit the ZS3 like a glove. It improves the isolation too. I was siting in a park surrounded by screaming kids listening to a PODCAST, not music, and could nary hear a disturbance.
