What has happened to all the ZSA reviews and opinions, it's all gone very quiet? Been grass cutting today with ZSA and big foams, listening to Riversea, the Tide, some wonderful sounds going on there, not as good as the ZS10 but getting closer the more I use it! Maybe I should have used the lawnmower instead....

What's going to be better for running/gym ?
I got the ZSR but they are pretty heavy and bulky for that.

Should I go for
ZSA (smaller but still heavy)
ATR (cable is bad but maybe with ear hooks?)
other KZ?

Thanks,

Have you done any mods to ZS6? Which tips are you using?

No mods. Stock medium Starline tips on the ZS6. I had to use large on the ZS10 to get the proper seal for enough bass.

Oops...that is an old post that I had already answered...not sure how that happened.

I would recommend the Brainwavz B100. Very small and light, over ear and sound great. I use them when sleeping

I have never used IEMs while sleeping, no matter how small they are, they still give discomfort if I lay on one side, earbud is less discomfort, but I rarely use earphone while sleeping btw, unless I'm falling asleep while using earphone :D

Typically, when KZ releases multiple models simultaneously several models tend to attract the spotlight while other very good models seem to reside somewhere in the nearby vicinity but not necessarily in the spotlight.

This happened with the ED3 "Perfection" when the ED3 "ACME" was released.

This happened with the ED8 when the ZS1(v1) was released.

This happened with the EDR1 when the DT5 was released.

This happened with the DT3 when the ED10 was released.

.......and to some degree this happened with the ATR which was released in close proximity to the ZS3.

The ZS3's detachable cables and custom-like fit overshadowed the ATR's sublime performance and value. It wasn't long before the fog dissipated and the ATR's virtues became more evident.

The same goes for the HDS3 and I would even argue for the ES3, though with the ES3 the fog settled in due to the frenzied speculation about the ZSR and ZS10. In other words "why pick up a variation on the ZST sound signature (ES3) when a 4+1 ZS10 and an ibasso-like, semi-custom fit 2+1 ZSR are about to take centerstage?"

The ZSA, ED15, ES4, ED16 and ZS10 will all find their place on KZ's continuum

......even though five more models are waiting in the wings.

So I'm not sure if I'm just bad at searching, but are there any shorter cables for KZ? I'm looking for something like half the size of stock.

I’ve never seen anything like that, but 3.5mm plugs are $1 or less, and the cables are easy to shorten yourself.
