Yup. Noticed that as well (http://kopfhoerer-lounge.blogspot.com/2017/06/knowledge-zenith-kz-zs5-review.html - it's unfortunately in German (albeit with a Google Translate widget below the navigation bar), but scrolling down to the 1More comparison (that I even only wrote because I immediately noticed how similar the ZS5 v1 sounds after some brief listening), you can see a measurement graph overlay of the ZS5 v1 and 1More E1001). :beerchug:

PS: Please never call the 1More E1001 triple-driver IEMs Triple.Fi. Like never ever again, pretty please.

Which version of ZS5 was in your review? The article did not specify.

I've just become aware of these earphones as GearBest sent me an email saying they had a flash sale on.
There are so many different models that I've got confused already!
Where should I start?
Which is generally thought to be the best?

What's the best bt cable for ZS6 available? Where we don't lose so much sound quality? Also anybode compared ZS6 vs Meizu EP51 or newer EP52?


ZS6 sounds better than the EP52 in any way shape or form.
EP52 are much more suited to be worn during sports or during active days. EP52 looks draw less attention as well.

ZS6 will be sounding better od KZ bluetooth cable or should i look at some 3rd party cables at aliexpress ?

I dont have the BT cable so i can't comment on that... It seems like the ones on Ali has more battery life though.
I'm waiting for KZ to release a better version of the cable, but who knows when it will happen.

Here's something interesting I noticed in the video. Check out the size difference between each pin socket in the 2-pin female connector. It actually looks like there's 2 different sizes of pins - the one on the left side is significantly smaller than the one on the right (or at least the left one isn't spread out nearly as open as the right side).

Anyways, just an observation...

I noticed that too, weird

Guys, how can i check zs5 version? V1 or V2? It was bought Jun. 07 2017

Remove the eartip. Then shine a light into the nozzle of the earphone (hold the light about 12-24" away) and move the light around.

The light will catch the edges of the BA drivers through the nozzle mesh, and you will see 1 or 2 small circles (these are the BA drivers).

If you have 1 circle, it's a ZS5 v1. If you see 2 circles, it's a ZS5 v2.

Like this photo (see the 2 little circles through the mesh - this is a ZS5 v2):

For reference, here's what the drivers look like with the mesh screen completely removed so you can see a clearer picture of what you're looking for when using the flashlight method:

1BA-vs-2BA.jpg

See the 1 vs 2 BA drivers in the nozzle? The ZS5 v1 is on the left and the ZS5 v2 is on the right.

Hey everyone!
Bought a pair of ZS3s and a bluetooth adapter as a christmas gift for my mother, but it seems like the usb port has broken or something as there's no feedback when charging it anymore.
Does anyone have experience of this and maybe know a fix? It's not a big deal as the bluetooth module is only 6€, I'll buy another one.
