It may be interesting to see how the ZSR perform on mids.

The ZS6 is tuned for use the BAs only on higher frequency, instead the ZSR, if what is inscribed on the gearbest's page of them is true, use the dynamic for the bass, leaving mids and highs to the two BAs.

It's an error, just see the promotional images.

Conventionally promo material has more words. But we're talking George here. And all things considered it's a tough call. Do you believe more words versus George's word? It's like popularity is made fact. But, graphic arts can be produced pretty fast. And while George has been known to make frequent typo graphical errors on headfi, I'm pretty sure George knows the difference between ba iron drivers and dd moving coil drivers. But at the end of the day I can wait. I can not deny the picture is shaking my confidence in George.

We are not talking about "words" only here. You can see the second BA yourself, in that image and a lot more.

Beware.
When calculating total cost of Gearbest prices to compare with other shops' cost, don't forget to add shipping insurance costs.
Gearbest DOESN'T guarantee full refund for both unregistered/registered packages if you don't pay insurance costs.
They offer me $80 refund for a lost registered package of $250+.
So be warned.

I figure I can take a loss on single small items. When the total gets higher, I buy the insurance and tracked shipping. Even with the fees involved, most of the time it''s still a bargain price.

Same here.

$3.99 KZ IEM? Who cares.
$399 quadcopter? Uhh, yeah definitely.

From what I've gathered, KZ connectors are not standard ones, are they? Have anyone discovered a source to buy them if I want to make my own wires? I'd actually need both - male and female connectors for my little project idea. Appreciate any tips.

Same connectors as old Ultimate Ears IEMs, at least the KZ cables fit my UE 3s...

wish i had paid with paypal, but used credit card this time. my bad.
never got lost package issues before with gearbest, but wish i had used shipping insurance (about $7) for this big order. my bad again.
thanks for the heads up.
this won't happen anymore, because i'll pay a bit more for getting stuff in other chinese shops which provide quite better aftersale service (fasttech, for example, ebay, and many shops in aliexpress). i'll use gearbest in the future only for real bargains.

btw, happy new year to all :wink:
