Can you send me a few of those triangle shaped cases, I could really use them? Cool, thanks man.

I can't find it, but I recall someone mentioned that a Headfier had sanded down some edges on their ZS5 to make them more comfortable...is there a write up on it? How sandable are the ZS5?

@oyobass is the head-fi'er with first-hand experience of sanding the ZS5s down, but the more aggressive sanding jobs came from posts on HEEP iirc.

And they're not super hard plastic either, I polished off the sharpest edges with just a fingernail.

Use .78mm 2 pin cable with KZ .75mm?

Has anyone tried this, which would entail forcing the .78mm into the .75mm slots? Can the KS slots take the forcing OK?

If this is possible this opens up a whole world of other cables to use with the KS IEM.

Yes, it works, but the connector will stretch out (and you might have to work to make that happen, possibly even requiring additional careful work with a small pin or similar) - usually stretching enough that the stock 0.72mm and 0.75mm pin KZ cables won't fit securely after using a 0.78mm pin cable.

Thanks! Very helpful! I'll probably try soon on my ZS5 -- before the ZS6.

I'll post something after I do it to share the results.

good info, thanks. I have some ZS5 inbound (I'm curious to see how long it takes to get from China to my little weird elbow of California) I have concerns about fit ...but if they are a softer plastic, I am good with materials..

A few other things that have been shared in relation to sanding them: they're not particularly thick plastic, so you'll want to go slowly and possibly even consider a build up & remove process if you want to make larger changes. Also be sure to cover the hidden side vents lest they get mucked up with plastic dust.

Bought the zs6 for 19.99 + 1.4 shipping from gearbest on 16th Nov.. I couldn't just let go of that deal.

Also bought the second pair of Zs3 for $2.99 + $1.4 shipping yesterday..

Both using GB coupons

I recently painted my ZS5 to matte black, I used a $2 spray paint (Bosny). I didn't sand it down. I used acetone to remove the original paint. Still sounds the same to me, if not better

Now get another one and paint it green metallic.

The new KZ ZS6 are absolutely great! I wrote a review about them. Can guys let me know what you think of it?

Nicely written review... and I agree... the zs6 are great! I am a bit annoyed though because now I wonder why I have so many others...although it is nice to have ones that I can just put straight in. I do have to take some time with over ear wires and when I take them out I have to untangle them from my hair. So, once I have them in, I hate to be interrupted! One night I listened with them for 5 hours without stopping. I was enjoying my music too much to stop. The plug thing is very personal... I actually prefer straight plug ends. Maybe I am the only one. I wish that when ordering replacement cables there would be a choice of straight vs 90 degree.

Second hand Hifiman RE 400 for 25€ or brand new KZ ZS6 (with upgraded cable) for 30-35€?

 

[SomeGuyDude]

ZS6 without question. I found the RE400 to be competent but intensely boring.

Would you say that the ZS6 is a sound upgrade coming from the ZS5?
