I ordered the purple and the green, both still on the slow boat somewhere. They will both be fresh.
Well this just turned into a research project...didn't see that coming.:clipboard::)
Well, don`t forget to take measurement on both OOTB and then let one play with music + pink/white noise for about 100h.

None of the connectors are clear, other than the stock ZSN cables.

I know. That is why I wanted to see a photo.. to see if I could live with the look.

To try to answer your questions - a balanced KZ cable (type B) fits reasonably OK. There is a gap, but the connection is fairly secure

Seeing that gap would really bother me. If I hate how something looks, I won't use it. Yes, I know what some of you are thinking... LOL.

A wild zs7 appears!

Me want it! But wait - no dynamic driver or bass BA?

The gap is really just about 1 mm and the fit with this cable is surprisingly tight (not that this cable is super though a balanced one), so there is at least some option.

1DD (lows) + mid BA + mid-high BA + 2*high BA - sounds nice! Want this ZS7 already badly! ;P

Please, please, Clear if ever you post your impressions of your cyan CCA C10 there via-a-vis your ZSN (also cyan, right?) could you provide a link? It would even be nicer if you post your thoughts here, with the ZSN as reference complete with side-by-side pics.
:kissing_smiling_eyes:

With the exception of the faceplate both models really could be mistaken for each other. Fraternal twins. Only that from a KZ perspective the CCA C10 is a true hybrid; the internals of the ZS10 placed in the body of the ZSN. Btw that published FR graph of the CCA C10 looks decidedly W-shaped. Hope that does not translate to a Weird sound signature. One thing for sure—it would be comfortable.

Excited! :)
Will do! :ok_hand:...yes, I only ordered the Cyan/Silver (for now).:yum:

ooh, even the actual color looks so pretty too. Damn it.

sorry ZS7, I still want a full BA KZ instead of another hybrid, so its AS06 next for me.

IMHO KZ must have that DD for the bass they want to produce especially since they always lean to the sparkly side of the spectrum, when I saw that first picture in coils post and the thing just said and showed 4 BA's I was like "Oh no, gonna be a real ear fryer"!!!

KZ made a really great (at least to my ears) bass BA in AS10 (and BA10).

They also made very good DD inside ZS4 and ZSN :wink:

Hmm, you have a point and maybe they even tried that in the ZS6/7 shell and the DD worked out better in tuning:thinking: Seems there was enough room for a bass BA and they have come a long way on the interior of this shell shape since the first run ZS5's! I mean it's been a long time since they just sunk a couple BA's down in the glue:hushed:
