Just when i thought it's over, KZ uploaded another new product onto their China Alibaba page which i believe is gonna excite a lot of us. MMCX silver plated cable. Are they hinting us on upcoming model ?? I really hope so...

New cable for ZST by KZ. Should be available soon i guess. Not sure yet whether will it be available for ZS3/5 but atm they said just ZST available.

VinceHill24, can you share the link to the new ZST cable. Thanks in advance.

I knew I'd seen this more than once. I'll always believe @Vidal first.

Same here.

I'm on this and the ZST cable like white on rice. And for $10?!? Could KZ spoil us any more?

If another company buys KZ, the party will be over for sure. Hopefully that day never comes.

That makes it look like the ZST is switching to a MMCX connector. I don't know why else you would want/need a round 2 pin connector with grip texturing on them like that.

I'd love it if KZ went to MMCX for all their upcoming IEMs, unless they did what VSonic did and used a proprietary MMCX who's cable cost about as much as it would to rebuy the IEM.

Having distortion problems with the ZS5's.

Not sure if it's because I don't have any real power right now except for my Pixel since I blew a voltage regulator on my tube amp and can't get good heat dissipation anymore. I also don't know if the ZS5's are just so accurate that they show the distortion in 2017 pop/edm mastering.

It looks gorgeous. Any estimated price?

I don't have the ZST, but shouldn't it automatically fit the ZS3 and ZS5? I thought they were using the same plugs and sockets.

No Chris, they are proprietary to the model as I have both ZST and ZS3's. It just so happens my Ali Ex seller sent me an extra ZS3 silver way back when so I ordered the mic'd version of the ZS5. Wish the dang things would get here after seeing all these positive impressions of them, matter a fact I have a set of those gold wires coming for my Colorfuls

Definitely not so accurate, as turning down the volume makes the very apparent distortion disappear...

My guilty pleasure is the ZSTs, so much so that tomorrow I'll have both the carbon and the candy myself...

I'll speculate now that some people will hear a difference between carbon and candy, but only in the same way as they might between two carbons or two candies, that at this price point, for what is enclosed in the package, there may well be a fair amount of sample variation...

Watch this space.

If memory serves me right when the Colorfuls first started coming in some felt they had better highs but I myself have found them to sound pretty much the same regardless of cable as well

No idea which stores have started selling it yet but if you're able to access their China Alibaba website or has any know how of purchasing there, here's the link

I believe other AE sellers will have them sooner or later.

Looks like those new KZ cables are now on ali express but the KZ ZST upgrade is still the 2 pin and the MMCX version is just a upgrade cable for MMCX earphones and not a new KZ iem. A certain "banned" seller on ali express is selling them.....

zst mmcx? no problem

 

[CoiL]

zst mmcx? no problem

I will do the same with my ZS5 (and probably ZSTtoo) because I also have MPS cable from HCK which is very good quality cable and I do not want to get all those "special" socket KZ cables - prefer to have 1 good for all.
