I can understand the desire to collect IEMs. Some people want to tryr every single sound, even if most of them end up being the stock KZ house sound (v-shaped). The only KZ I currently own is the KZ ZS6. Moved on from the ZST (given away) which was my only other pair. Will be very tempted to get the next one coming out.i get why kz floods the market with so many new models--just like gym shoes or cabernets, there's a lot of folks who are more into collecting than using. what i can't quite grasp is why there's so little sonic and (particularly) aesthetic differentiation between their new releases--try as i might i can't see a ton of difference between the zs10, zsr, ed16, etc. if i was mr. kz, i'd be more focused on design, but of course, what do i know...
Don't think there is any way to find out unless you listen for yourself. Use the audiocheck website polarity testCan anyone help?
I’ve bought my first pair of balanced cable that has a 0.75mm connector for use with KZ headphones.
Since they are are not official KZ they don’t have the curved end on the connector to let me know which side to plug in.
Instead one of the connectors has a red dot on the tip. Does anyone know which way these should be plugged in?
(I.e red dot towards the “curved” side of the KZ plug? Or visa-versa?)
KZ style: rounded edge - clear to know which way
Balanced cable style: red dot, but no curved side.
That will do....Don't think there is any way to find out unless you listen for yourself. Use the audiocheck website polarity test

If it sounds off then reverse 1 side will do.

That will do....
And only buy certified cables from penon or KZ or trn
Dang, was hoping that wasn’t the case. Sometimes I find it hard to tell the difference with that test! Hoping it will be more pronounced with balanced cables!
Do KZ do balanced cables? I tried looking without much luck!
Surprisingly they do.

Not sure if you can open the link. It's available fron aliexpress KZ official store
Doh!
Wish I knew that in that before, a lot cheaper than the one I bought too!
Only positive is that my other similar KZ product in that colour has turned green, so at least I won’t have to worry about that!
i like the skulls!!!more than most...
you want more variety in the designs? here you go...
i like the skulls!!!
and of course expensive gear sounds GREAT(not all of it), but KZ sounds AWESOME. I own KZ ZST, ZS5, ZSR and waiting for ED16 and ZS10 to arrive.
ZSRs I like the most for now, and prefer them to my custom Westone ES60.
Best taste or less filling?So, you won't tell me which one tastes the best? So disappointed.
