I was just about to create an inane post but didn't have the heart to do it (already beaten to it I suppose)

I don't get severe irritation from the upgrade cable, but it does rub occasionally and I've been pondering throwing a piece of shrink wrap without a memory wire over the same area where the memory wire used to be.

Haven't done anything about it just yet though, so it's still just an idea in my head thus far :shrug:
Maybe try some neoprene tubing, it is a bit softer. Thats what we use to make ear clips for the iSINE10/20/Monolith M300.

I'm digging the new upgrade cable.

Don't happen to have a supplier in mind for that stuff, do you?

On a quick search I can't seem to find quantities less than 100 feet or so.

I did a lousy job of searching eBay apparently... :shrug:

What cable is that? I thought the KZ upgrade cable was the whitish 'silver' cable? Is there other options or is that a 3rd party cable?
It's the newer/alternate silver cable for the ZST - early reports suggested it was an official cable. It was available on Amazon for a while but no longer it seems. Can still find them on a variety of aliexpress stores, but they don't appear to be on the official KZ store. Apparently there's actually larger variety of KZ cables that never go up for international sale. :shrug:

Well it certainly looks awesome.

I just received the KZ ATE. They're pretty impressive. They also fit my ears perfectly. They're definitely more fun sounding than the KZ ED7. I love the punchy bass. But...BUT...listening to Alex Cameron, I hear a lot of sSSSsss sounds. The earbuds just have this tendency to accentuate the SssssSSSsss. It's particularly annoying with Alex Cameron. Here's an example:

Love the ZST cable, as it always results in a better fit around the ear. Nice job bud.

I wish KZ would just standardize on that cable for all of the detachable IEMs.

Personally I much prefer the straight plugs on the ZS3 cable. Angled plugs rub agsinst my ear and become too painful after 10 minutes.
