Hi guys,
I have been reading up on the KZ ZS5 and have a few questions...
1. Understand that some of you have purchased it as a package with the gold cable. Have been searching on AE for similar packages but all of those available come only with silver cable as an option. Does the gold cable need to be purchased separately?
2. The ear phones look really angular in design. Has anyone experienced discomfort over prolonged periods of usage? I know this really depends on individual but would like to get some feedback all the same.
3. There seems to be 2 retail boxes available. A bigger rectangular box without window and a smaller box with a window. Are the contents similar in both retail boxes? With ear buds, ear hook and stock cable?
4. How well does the cable connect to the phones with the 2-pin connector? With my current IEMs, I do accidentally pull on the cables sometimes. I hope these are secure enough not to come loose with a bit of tugging...
Thanks!
1. Taobao stores are selling packages with either silver or gold. I guess AE just doesn't have enough gold cables yet, as the silver cable is the exact same one as the ZS3 silver cable.
2. With the memory wire intact, there's some discomfort. But after taking the memory wire out, it's much better for me. Still not as comfy as ZS3/ZST, but I wouldn't say there's any discomfort even after an hour or 2 of use.
3. I haven't seen the smaller box before. All the pics online from others and my own box as well are the big cardboard box.
4. Extremely tight, the wire will NOT come out without a fair amount of force
