I really like the new KZ black cable on my old carbon ZST's:grin:

:point_right: I just placed an order for the KZ ZSN...One in "Cyan/Black", the other in "Purple/Silver".

With the housing made out of acrylic resin (instead of cheap plastic), plus a metal back plate cover? This is a "no brainer"! :ksc75smile:

If you like those metal cases, consider ordering the HiFi Walker A7 from Amazon. It’s a great sounding hybrid IEM (I think triple driver), has a nice mmcx cable (with 3-button iOS compatible remote), and it comes with one of those nice round metal case.

It’s on sale for $15.

I bought the kz one, ABS plastic instead of metal, but seems rugged enough. houses 1 iem easily, less than 1.5usd iirc

The KZ case I have (the ABS see-thru Pelican style ones) are too small to be useful.

Got some stuff yesterday from Aliexpress and Gearbest...

Selecting the cable was a royal pain! BTW 8 core cable for 8 bucks I think was a real steal. I just hope it's not a lemon. Also, that Trn case for 0.91 a piece was cherry on the cake. Looks quite spacious from the dimensions.

P.S. Both the orders, to my surprise, were shipped today. Seller which shipped my T2 last month shipped them after 10 days. Took another 10 to reach me. Boo!

Yeah Slater the little Pelican cases are just too small for larger iem's especially with thicker upgrade cables, these two TFZ's are literally stuffed into these cases! I refer to them and actually have this photo saved as the "Peli-can't" cases:open_mouth: LOL

Now as you mentioned on the A7 case my Kinera IDUN's came with this awesome beauty:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

@1clearhead I can't wait for my Black and smoke shell ZSN's to get here myself:beerchug:

There is also this case from KZ. It's specious, and the ugly orange sticker can be easily removed. You can even put a custom label at it's place. The only problem is that the clips are quite stiff, and they don't provide a "crisp" click. Also this case is probably not waterproof, as it has no rubber ring. But for just carrying an iem, is sufficient.

These are my favorite “large” cases. As you mentioned, they aren’t as secure clasping or water proof (I don’t need water proof audio gear anyways). But they are a good balance of low cost with large size, and provide adequate protection. Plus the including foam lining is great for using on earphone mods (such as BA and nozzle mods).

Podster! Is that the Shan.M0?
Does it sound good?

ThanosD: I currently have that black case and fit my KZS5 & BA10 iems in it. My little plastic latch thingys are very
positive when latching giving a nice snap shut. New kinda how it is the latches are tight now but should loosen.
Water resistant maybe but submerging it might cause issues.

Are there mods for the BA10s already or am I misreading Slaters post?
