Strangely I had that when demo'ing oBravo IEMs a couple of weeks back = only one of the models (well, cables) - absolutely no idea why!It's fine with other phones and DAPs though. I'll just have to use them with my fiio E6 when using my phone as that bypasses whatever problem's occurring.
Can't blame the fudge packers for this, as I think it's a quirk with the S8. Hopefully someone else with the international version of the phone buys them too to see if it's just me.
In other news, I bought on a whim, a pair of the black ZSTs - even though I paid over the odds, being in the UK, for the budget price, I'm flabbergasted, when comparing to much more expensive IEMs in my collection...
Sure the fit is lousy (popping out of my ears, unless I use foamies), and the bass is hideously overblown (for me), but if this is what can be got for £20 - then the established market really needs to wake up - and fast!
Edit:
Ok guys. Got my ZS5 few days ago.
You know guys I`m pretty hard on KZ IEMs and this time I`m going to be also.
Haven`t had much time with ZS5 but out of my iBasso DX5X these are sonically very very good and are certainly #1 KZ IEM.
For my ears they are very well tuned and have almost no faults. Almost. Will do more listening when I have time off my babycare. So far with bundled KZ starline smallest tips they seem to have very slightly looser bass I would wish for but too soon to tell.
Will have to do more tip-rolling & listening. Also, atm I have only stock cable with wire earguides (looks like dark turquoise) and haven`t measured its impedance or tried another cable.
Will update sometime soon...
On the basis of my few minutes with the ZST, and your points, just spent some more money...
