Tha
Very little between the top 5 really, I find myself using the EMI more though as they're more comfortable than the ZS5
Thanks

darker than tennmak pro?

I would take something as dark as the Tennmak's. My Tennmak Pro's are some of my favorite IEM's, but the MMCX port is too cheap and they only last 1-2 months.

Why is the cable so long on the bluetooth cable? Is their target market F1 drivers?

Make it shorter!

This guy disagrees with you.

Ha. Oops. I meant the bluetooth cable. I was switching back to the ZS5's when I was typing :D

A pair of ZS5's finally made their way to my door today, and I'm floored by the sound they produce. I'm new to the hifi world; my only other piece of gear are a pair of Shure se846's I got for a steal. The ZS5 is a short stone's throw away from them in all the areas which matter, and I do mean that. I took them out of the box, put Spiral Dot medium tips on, and have been enjoying the hell out of some favorite tunes all evening. If not for this thread I'd likely never have gotten to experience these fantastic earphones - thank you all for introducing me to this brand!

Is it the same cable that you mentioned having distortion and skipping issues? I got the same cable (I think, KZ BT 4.2) and am having no problems whatsoever, to the point where I feel that BT offers so much more convenience that I'd be hesitant to buy any other IEM that doesn't have a removable cable to offer an option for wireless conversion.

Hard to accurately A/B because it takes a while replacing the cable, refitting the plugs in your ears, etc, but I can't say I noticed much of a difference over my phone's analog out on my ZS5s. The cable could have been made slightly shorter indeed though.

So, finally I'm noticing a faint green tint on parts of my silver cable. Only a matter of time before it starts turning completely green.

Anyone experiencing any issues with this? Not about sound quality(please don't spark this debate about cables), but I hear Shure owners saying they might get stiffer?

Also has anyone thought of anything to fix it or cover it up? I do really like the look of the silver cable so I'd hoped for it to stay the way it was.

They really are quite gorgeous(which is all you'd need from a cable, as well as durability) especially when you take into consideration that they are a mere 8$

Are you talking about the clear white insulation, or the silver-plated copper wires? In my case, if you're talking about the clear-white insulation, it starts to become brown-yellowish gradually; a far cry from the clear white when it was brand-new. Maybe it's because I live in a quite dusty environment?

And oh, I asked this 2 pages ago, but I guess I have gone into oblivion :cry: :
Anyone else here tried using the small stock tips of the ZS3 on their ZSE's? I tried using the small ZS3 tips, and it kinda brightened up the sound, just like the way it's on the ZS3 (where someone in this thread many, many pages ago suggested using the small stock tips of the ZS3 to mellow down the bass).
Anyone else tried putting the small ZS3 tips on ZSE, as stated on my post above?
