Which kz has the better bass?
Anyone tried the bluetooth module aptx hd? Is good?

I tried and it was completely broken, sounded like ****.

He sent me a regular aptx as a replacement but I still have the broken APTX-HD that I will probably manage to replace somehow.

The seller said the new ones are fixed.

hi, can someone recommend an upgrade cable for zs3/zs4 (a-type pin) - one without the memory wire. i've got trn cables with mmcx and like them much more than the kz-memory wire style... if possible a 3.5 L-jack would be fine too :wink: i can't find ones - and just removing the memory wire is not a good idea for me - i've just destroyed my zs3e-cable... thnx

We have many of them... purchased in the Trig Rain shop.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32700128989.html

I have used them on a couple of iems and it made a huge difference for me to be able to get a seal.

Mbwilson111 is not wrong she helped me find them (thanks again mb) and we both ordered and received exactly what the gentleman asked about as I used that picture to try and find them myself over several days. She and Panda have used Trig before so they new it was a solid seller.

They make amazing differences sometimes! They seal like foam but no highs get foamed away. I’ve had very few instances where they didn’t improve fit and sound.

I’m using my old Momentum IEMs today, feeling trekkie, where they a hit or miss on headfi I wasn’t reading headfi much back then??
1000 posts....you folks are wonderful, a very inspiring bunch, thanks for reading my stuff ........next!!

The regular sounds fine?

Yes (the APTX one, not the regular one with controllers just in one side, without a box in the other with battery) but you can expect having cable too long or cable too short (controle hanging from your ear, not resting on your shoulder), or inverted stereo or phase problem, controls can be either on the left or on the right or connection cuts... get a TRN if you wanna be safe, all KZ BT adapters are garbage.

BT cables killed my right side ZS5 v1. Won't ever cheap ones again.

Maybe it would break anyways in a regular cable... who knows?
Failed DDs on KZ unit isnt something unusual.

I dont think there is one, maybe you can try the TRN ones, they have a silicone that stays on its form instead of the wire KZ use, is WAY more comfy.
