How do the ZST compare to the ZSR? Also, anyone got the ZS6 recently? Green?

I received my green ZS6 a couple of days ago.

… If I had tested all three in a store, I would have taken the ZSR for sound and the ZS6 as a collector's item but would have left the ZS10 for somebody else and blown the money on beer … .

My ZS10 just arrived today. Listened quick before putting it in the burn-in pile. I didn't get much bass so I'm going to assume I had a fitment issue but since it was a quick listen no tip rolling to find something that worked. Nicer smoother than ZS6 across mids and highs. Still bright. I wish that KZ would tune to a less hair splitting signature. Although bright not as bad, painful, awful, very bright (take your pick depending on tolerance for lots of highs) as the ZS6. I'd take the ZSR at this time too but these need some burn-in and tip rolling until I can get a good, comfortable fit that allows the bass to be heard. Then I can make an honest assessment.

That's quite the list you have there. Just be mindful that orchestral recordings and jazz recordings prior to the digital revolution introduce an endless set of variables that can skew ones interpretation of what sounds "natural"(microphone used, placement of microphone, recording equipment, etc.). Then of course there is the supposed same track released on different compilations but the dynamics differ from one release to the next.…

I don't understand why whether analog or digital recording equipment is used makes a difference as to whether microphone used, placement, etc could or could not introduce an endless set of variables that can skew…

Or did you mean something different than what you've written?

Well despite the focus on bass I'm not getting boomy with your test track "smooth operator".

I got a ZS6 the other day from Amazon. Red, though, not green. I like them so far, but I haven't really listened to them too much yet.

Mine (green) delivered today to mailbox, I will report back later after work.

Thank you all, could you see if yours have this thing:

I'm Slater fixed you up but here is my last ZS6 Gray shell, tip ridge is clearly there

Thank you all, could you see if yours have this thing:

There is no lip like that on my Amazon pair.

ZST + massive controlled amount of bass + warm sound - piercing highs = ZSR.

So it's flat out better in every way no?

Which seller on amazon?

Yes. Well, the fit isn’t for everyone.

 

[toddy0191]

Yeah, I've tested the Image One a few years back but I didn't like the midrange or the sub-par isolation. If I remember correctly, out of the gate they were $150 and on sale they were $100.


At any rate, see if those ED15's can keep their composure with these tracks

Spoiler

Only the bottom three play in the UK but I'd 100 percent say these are made for trance. The Tiesto track and the Emma Hewitt remix in particular sound great. The bass is powerful but the mids and highs are unaffected with sparkly cymbals and clear vocals. Very immersive.

This is the product listing I purchased from

Edit In case the link is not allowed, it's from Topssale Inc, fulfilled by Amazon.

No lip on mine, from NiceHCK.

Finally my ZS10 started the long march (pun intended) from AK store.
Figuratively and literally I hope they will fly.

Good point. That's the general problem with consistency in both equipment and music. I was using a Japanese version that "bangs" somewhat more in the bass than the vinyl version and the remastered greatest hits version.
