this KZ ZSN new cable pin is kinda...hmm redundant
the old one seems just fine.

I wonder if it's somehow keyed, to prevent people from plugging it in out of phase?

The main reason for the protruding 2-pin socket is to ensure durability, but it is also not tough for them to mold one side of the 2-pin socket-and-spacing as square and the other side as rounded to ensure a correct sound transmission for their respective sides.

I notice people suggest foams to tame treble on the zs6. Which foams do people generally find work best?

I use tips like these for both my ZS6 and ZS10.

They help tame the treble on the ZS6 and also get rid of the driver flex on the ZS10.

If you search AliExpress you can find rounded foam tips which also work well.

The kind of eartips you linked solved the treble peaks in my case, but ruined all the zs6's special thing: the sparkling and airy highs.
Highs seemed like the one in my memt x5, with a warm tone, i lost some details and some air.

I would advice looking for wide bore tips, seems like these earphones like so much thaf kind of eartips.

KZ's use 0.75 but lot's of other chi-fi uses the 0.78 pin size.

Brands like BQEYZ and some other brands I can't mention here use the 0.78 variant.
I just noticed there is a TYPE A and TYPE B cable? Type A being straight and TYPE B being bent? (L Shape)... Does Type A or B matter in most scenarios?

I am still waiting for this because of the color. I was planning for it to be my last KZ... maybe my last IEM as I have too many already.


Even if the ZS7 comes out in purple?
