Yes, I am.
I have both of them but am not impressed as far as the bass is concerned. I am a 90% basshead.
That's a VERY favourable review at . Unfortunately it is not in Englsih. The reviewer is quite popular in Russia.
You can ask questions there in English and he will respond immediately or next day.

BTW, the liquid crystal polymer (Kevlar) diagram used in the ZS4 and ZS3E is the same type of diaphragm used in the Sony EX1000 and some high end Sony headphones.
Kevlar diaphragms are stiff, light, and capable of an extremely wide dynamic range (with frequencies as low as 4-5Hz and as high as 100kHz for those dolphin and bat audiophiles).
This makes it an excellent choice for a single driver headphone/earphone (without the need to rely on a hybrid BA design).
Obviously there’s more to the end result than just the type of diaphragm used, but it does go a long way.
For whatever reason have been having a hard time with tips for C10. Weird because this is the same shell as ZSN right? So stock tips sounded great, but hurt quite a bit. Switched to softer version of the tip and they felt better, but still hurt after a while. Switched to Spiral Dots (M) and was able to get 3 hours out of them before the pain started to get bad enough I had to rest for a while. SO I ordered some Spiral Dots in MS size. These actually make the C10 fit exactly like the ZSN now. Very comfortable. WOW! Thankfully Spiral Dots come in the in between sizes.
I'm sure I'm an isolated case, as I haven't heard anyone else complaining of fit issues, but wanted to throw this out there incase someone else had issues.
Anyway, spent the past 2 days with over ear headphones on, and it was good to get the c10s back in my ears. They are Rock&Roll approved!

Isn't that the super iem (Sony EX1000) that they rave about in the basshead thread? I've always been tempted to try it although I'm not exactly thrilled over the proprietary cables.

I did write about it in my impressions. C10 has a shorter and thicker nozzle with a different projection angle as compared to the ZSN. Felt awkward at first but I adjusted with medium-size ball foam tips. Have different tips on the way, but I think I'll try the JVC Spiral Dots MS as you did, thanks. Drey mentioned them in another thread but I'd passed on them to order some others. If they improve the C10's sound even more...
Very sure that's a mesh-up of the Green ZS6 and a ZS7. I just got my ZS7, and did a visual comparison, they are identical shells, just the slit angles for the top plate being different.

Gorgeous! I suppose it would feel like Christmas morning every time you listen.

I still haven't received anything from said shop. Quite difficult to communicate with, ordered three times consecutively because it keeps getting cancelled and I just found out now that they're sold out for the foam/silicon hybrids so my latest order is probably going to get cancelled as well. I think the method you mentioned before might be the only way to get anything approaching decent service with them. I've even tried communicating with them in other platforms, via text and fb and still it's the same bs. It's extremely frustrating that it's easier to communicate with people that have a limited english vocabulary located in another country than it is to communicate with a local shop who speaks the same language as you.
