Ohh I don't really like them with that much bass, but it kinda sounds like he might

The tape mod came up a while back - ChrisHiFi posted some frequency response graphs of it even, around +5dB gain in bass.
(can't comment on the mechanics of why — too far outside my wheelhouse)


And I agree that Starlines are great once broken in (they get much softer). It took me a while to come to that conclusion though, in their straight out of the box state I found them quite uncomfortably hard.

The ZS5 already have elevated bass level. Those who want more bass than that is asking for bass-head level bass

I think that's exactly what he's asking for?

The XB stands for Xtra Bass after all

Found some pictures of the metal connector cable on Aliexpress. Think I'll get these since my silver cable died on me after 2 months. Hope it'll be sturdier this time around.

I just received the same silver cable a week ago and I LOVE it

Still haven't received my ZS5 from gearbest!

Ordered on June 20th, spoke to George on here and he said to message their support, their support kept saying wait for 60 days.

Messages then again after 60 days and now receiving no response from them.

Has anyone received one of the "on sale" ZS5 from gearbest?

How's the isolation on the ZSE and since people are talking about it how's the isolation on the MEMT X5 as well

You need to use the $2 KZ tips to make it good if your ear canal is too big, else it should be fine.

I've received mine for close to 3 weeks already. It's best you ask for a refund. That's too long a wait.

Is it flexible?

Is it flexible?

It's flexible enough but the cable is fat and flat. I'm very very impressed with the connectors on both ends. What surprises me the most is the 3.5mm jack which looks and feel very similar to my Fitear TG334 jack which is from Oyaide. At the asking price, the new fat and flat silver cable is a total steal, especially with the supplied jack connectors.

Here's the link to the 3.5mm Oyaide jack: http://m.ebay.com/itm/Oyaide-P-3-5-G-3-5mm-Stereo-Mini-Plug-Straight-Jack-Plug-JAPAN/111742286766?hash=item1a045bfbae:g:HbcAAOxyLN9SkY4j&_trkparms=gclientid=K8wzlWVt0gjNXjVk8uXFL9PKiSbdE7m4_DVy8gVuo3qNM52-lHTj-t7zTPNCcB1V&_trksid=p2489528.m4335.l8656

My biggest concern is whether or not the individual strands of the braid will break, as one of the strands on my original silver cable just decided to fray itself to death at the jack

I've only used mine for 1 week so I can't confirm what you've experienced...On the other hand, I baby my IEMs and cables so YMMV.

Yeah but I've also only used my silver cable for about two months which is dissapointing

I'll let you know in 2 months if the cable is holding up. Until then it's a very nice cable to me.
