Your detailed explanation cleared up my confusion completely. I realized none of that myself. The space limitation and filters makes sense now.
I have the Ed16 on order.... I see you also have the KZ Es4 and the TRN V20 both of which I own. I know you don't do reviews and I respect that. I am just curious if the Ed16 sounds at all similar to the other two? No pressure. Just curious. Thanks.
That`s pretty bold opinion. Makes me think I`ve "gone wrong" with IT01 and should have got ZS10. But... reading other impressions, seems that ppl still find IT01 superior over KZ top offerings (ZS10 also) and You seem to be in minority (not that it matters). All I can say from my part about IT01 is that it could have tad wider soundstage but layering, separation and transparency is top notch imho.I've tried many different tips, and honestly staging is one area I don't feel the it01 excels (and yes, I have more than 400 hours on them).
I think the zs10 wins staging/layering/separation versus the it01, but the zs10 gets beat by the 170 dollar tfz king pro and easily beat by the 200 dollar brainwavz b400 in my collection.
can anyone share their burn in playlist and sweeps
i don't have one and never did it before
Been using the ZS3 for a while but apparently the stock cable isn't so good and I lost one side of the driver. Love the sound a lot but will the ZS5/6 be a good upgrade? Heard it's quite bright which hesitates me.
Better invest in the silver cables I feel it's definitely worth.
It may not be your cable that's the problem. There was a batch of ZS3 that had defective drivers, and usually 1 side would go out.
I have been tracking the defective batch since I 1st discovered it. Details are here:
Damn that just sucks, I don't think there's anything I can do about this. I'm unsure to buy another ZS3 or try something else. At least as far as I know I prefer the ZS3 over the ZST as well.
I just played normal music at listening level for a couple days for burn-in. The highs did seem to open up a bit after burned in. I tried a silver cable briefly and noticed no sonic changes. Switched back to the stock cable. Wide bore tips work best for me. KZ or Tennmak whirlwinds or any other wide bore tip you get a good fit with. I have a 2nd pair ( blue this time) coming in today. It will be interesting to see if sounds different ootb compared to the burned in pair or if it was just brain burn in. Hope this helps.can anyone share their burn in playlist and sweeps

i just ordered kz es4 off gearbest so i wanted to ask which tips should i get for best soundstage.
also i wanted to know how much does silver upgrade cable affect the sound quality
Slater came up with a great fix for this. Spray a bit of hairspray into the can's lid. Dip a qtip in the hairspray and apply it on the nozzle with no tip. Let it get tacky before you install the tip on the nozzle. Hope that helps.So did anyone have an issue with the stock tips of the ZS5 falling out? It happen more than once to have a tip stuck in my ear after using them, so I'd like to know about alternatives that don't impact the sound but stay better on the housing.

honestly that's the only area the zs10 wins in. All the rest go to the it01.That`s pretty bold opinion. Makes me think I`ve "gone wrong" with IT01 and should have got ZS10. But... reading other impressions, seems that ppl still find IT01 superior over KZ top offerings (ZS10 also) and You seem to be in minority (not that it matters).

Wish I could compare ZS10 vs. IT01. But likely it wont happen as I got ES4 and dont plan to spend over 15$ anymore for chi-fi occasionally.

Also I`ve read impressions where IT01 is very closely compared to King Pro, though latter seems tad superior. But all depends on source gear, amping, personal hearing, tips etc. too.
