I highly recommend doing the washer ring mod on the zs6 if you want a more focused bass with a really nice "thump" to it. The zs6 is my favourite iem now.

Unless you want them swum from China you have to go whole hog and splurge on the shipping. Just under $10 with e-packet for 2 pair. And since they're so good and cheap who wouldn't want a 2nd pair?OK, I'm back with some more intersting KZ nuggets.
The EDR1 vs EDR2. How do they differ?
…
I personally prefer the EDR1. FR measurements aside, it just sounds better to me. I will go as far as saying it sounds as good as many hybrids, and even better than some as well. All for $4, shipped to your door. If you like genres that sound good with a v-shaped tune (rap, EDM, modern pop, etc), you won't possibly believe that you just paid $4 for sound this good…
In fact I'm waiting on my pair of them from your suggestion awhile back about sweat-proof earphones. You suggested that at a cost of about $4-$5 why not get a few pairs of the EDR1 or EDR2 and that I would go through a half dozen sets before I equalled the $30 cost of some other options. So that's what I did. Took the EDR2 I had with me when exercising and ordered 2 backup pairs. With the number of times I've snagged the cable already I'm sure I'll be replacing them soon enough. I'd be way more upset if I just ruined a $30 pair than a $5 one.

The NAD Viso HP50 offers the flattest compensated curve on Tyll's implementation of the Harman target (below about 6k, anyway). I will have to listen to my HP50 and compare to the ZS5 in the upper mids and lower treble...Then, can You please post Harman target response curve meant for IEMs? Would like to see differences. Sorry, I don`t have time to do research atm.
Imo, doesn`t matter, FR target is still what hits&enters our ears/eardrums.

FYI, if you still want to space out the eartip on the new one that has the lip, you can use an oring (like from a keyboard).
You can also take an old silicone eartip (or a size you don't use), flip it inside out, trim a section of the core off, and use that as a spacer.
Good advice as always. Thanks Slater.
Slater is talking about these o-rings for Mechanical Keyboards that you can buy on eBay; 120pcs for $1-2USD shipped from China, or $4-5USD(marked up) from here in the USA. I've been using them and they work great and easy to replace
ahh, this new site is hard to get used to.

It's for the bass heads out there who still appreciate good mids and highs. There are some here who still find the bass lacking the punch so that mod is for them.

Slater provided the instructions a few pages back. It's really simple. Just buy some M2 washers and replace the metal nozzle screen with it. Use laser bond glue to keep it in place. While you're at it, you can glue one of the BA shut if you find the treble too strong as well.

Nice graphs, what coupler / mic do you use?Here's the FR measurements.
Sorry, my FR app doesn't overlay the graphs. I'll have to do it manually in Photoshop later. If you download them to a computer and flip between the graphs, it will be very apparent. You can also click on the 1st photo, and use the arrow keys in the browser to flip back and forth to see the differences quite easily.

Is it from a private facebook group? It says content is not available right now.

Seems to be if that's the case. I'm part of the group, so I have problem viewing it. Its a 32s clip.
Can't find the video clip elsewhere, but here's some other photos, showing 3 colour choices.
