I think the 2.5mm TRRS plug may have made a bigger difference than the cable itself as it now separate, rather than shared poles.

Possibly. It now works as my ‘fun’ iem while I await my custom to return from reshelling.

That sounds like pricey stuff.

Not an area I want to get into, too many hobbies already.

+1==you got good taste

Haha.. Have to give thanks to you and Vidal for your valuable insights on Vidal's site.

Honestly, made a fair bit of purchasing decisions based on the reviews you guys did. Mainly because the descriptions and preferences from you guys match quite well with my own. Of course I had to cross reference other forums and sites too.

Still waiting on my ZS5 from gearbest lol
gotta love that free >1 month shipping

I paid $2.81 extra for 7-10 day shipping but it'll be three weeks tomorrow. Still no ZS5. Fortunately, I don't need it.

The KZ ZS6 will retail for about $40-$50!

Oh yes. I flipped the left and right channel as well, so it’s now an over the ear cable design. Definitely helps with ergonomics.

Bass definitely is less boomy, and trebles are slightly extended after this mod. Did a brief comparison with a stock pair of ZSE to confirm this.

Cable is also running 2.5mm connection to my 300R, so that may have altered the source signal slightly.

Nice idea with the switching channels!

Not sure who or what you're talking about.

Was referring to the "reshelling" part ....

Have you got any more info on that?

Are these ZS5 and the ZSR Pro the same IEM?
If not are there any news about the ZSR Pro?

Interesting about the ZSR and ZS10

+ Supposed to be released in September. That's all I know.

 

[vladstef]

So, the one that we've talked about, ZSR is now KZ's mid range? And ZS10 is the new flagship? Just when I thought that naming couldn't get more confusing. This is what happens when you have 5 or more products in development stage and absolutely need to release them. The good thing is that we have quarterly push of the sound quality instead of yearly.

Has anyone compared the Somic v4 and LIAM & DAAN swan with the zs5?
impressions?

I own the Somic V4 and I have the ZS5 on order. I'm expecting them to arrive next week *knock on wood* though the post office has been rather slow and erratic lately. I'll try to remember to post a small comparison between them when I do, or just keep an eye on this thread and call me up when I post a response about them if I forget.

From what I've read though about the ZS5, I don't think or am expecting them to sound similar to the Somic at all. I'm expecting the ZS5 to sound a lot more lively than the Somic with very forward vocals and treble, but more refined and perhaps a bit more detailed than on the ZST.

I would really only compare the Somic V4 with the KZ ATE. I think those two are much more similar in terms of sound signature.
