Okay, from the same seller. Spec list for the ZS5.
The BA fyi is not a Knowles BA. This is a very common case in China IEM scene. Many manufacturer do not actually use Knowles BA in their IEM. Most are copycat BA which most of the time goes by the same name and there are currently 2 biggest BA manufacturer in China whereby many brands actually uses their BA and some of the BA code is actually named after Knowles BA model. Very blatant copy indeed but many in Chinese forums have said the performances of these China made BA are not up to par with a real Knowles BA but because they are cheap so a lot of time these Chinese IEM manufacturer just uses them instead of Knowles. Ever wonder what happened to Magaosi which had kinda like disappeared ? One of the reason is coz some buyer decided to open up the shell and when they realised the BA is not the Knowles BA as advertised so there they go reputation down the drain. So i think KZ is being careful for not making false claims on their BA driver coz it's not stated that it is Knowled anywhere. Some other cheap brands like **** which claims that they uses Knowles makes me feel doubtful too now.I am very interested in this Knowles 30095 BA. Rose Mini2 (around 100USD) has the same one and people are mostly ok with it, some say it's sibilant, some that it extends well and isn't bad at all. ZS5 now offers 2 of these BAs (at 5 times lower price, go figure...), it is probably going to fix some of the irregularities that ZS5 v1 had with highs. Obviously, if things aren't properly tuned, they could put 5 of these BAs and achieve nothing. They are both in the nozzle with nothing to block their sound, I am very optimistic. Same goes for ZS6.

Dang, I already ordered..
Ah that's good then. I was prepared to witness you having a revelation.Lol I know I just wanted to take a quick pic with them next to the ES3.
Do let us know how the ES3 compares to the ZST once you plug in the ZST correctly to ensure that the sound is not "out of phase" (hollow sounding)KZ ES3 Arrived this morning, never listened to them yet ....

Just as a heads up. Outside of some flash sales that offer more enticing discounts for very limited quantities of products Gearbest puts its products on sale, most of them, every other week.
If you miss a particular sale of theirs it's not a big deal and their sales discounts aren't spectacular anyway. If you want my advice, hold your money until someone reviews them unless the $10 are completely expendable to you.
