I wish someone with equipment would do comparison between OOTB ZSN vs. ~100h playtime ZSN.
Why?
Well, I`m not sure but it seems that my purple ZSN highs have "calmed down" littlebit.
I have let them play around 90h without listening and I hear that treble between around 2.5-5kHz have "softer" timbre and not so "screetching/metallic" as before. I can now raise 6kHz EQ bar on my QNGEE X2 one notch higher without getting so "harsh" but still give some extra "sprinkle" at highs. For example I can now listen to Twelve Foot Ninja - Outlier without melting my ears off from hot treble and cymbals sound not so "metallic/digital" as before.
Maybe I`m just having placebo, idk
Challenge accepted! When they arrive. I don't think we will see any changes in the freq response graph, but am open to suggestions on other measurements.
You have 2? one with ~100h playtime (with music and pink/white noise mixed) and other coming as new?
I`m also suspecting FR graphs wont show any difference but who knows, maybe. Waiting for comparison.
That's great! I know these measurements are a pain but it would be nice to have FR graphs of the ZSN with different eartips as well—foam vs. silicone, wide vs. narrow. If you have them, comparisons with the AS10 and ZS6 (with overlays) would be even nicer.
