I thought of going with a NiceHK C16-3 and some JVC Spiral Dots for CCA C16 but i have no clue what to pick with CCA C12

Which color C12 do you have?

this is my current KZ ZS4 eq profile, results in much cleaner sound but can't fully salvage the mids :D

Hello there,
just got a pair of ZSN Pro Black and I was wondering if they would sound different from the Purple ones.
Someone said there were a difference with the previous model (ZSN) Purple and the rest because of the cable, so I'm asking it now.
Thank you!

Despite what anyone too invested in the hobby here says, you will not hear a difference. Cables and color make zero difference in this application except for durability and aesthetic.

Any good deals today on KZ's?

Finally picked up ZSX for $39 inc tax/shipping with the $5 ali and a KZ store coupon.

As someone who kept check a bit (there are also sites that do so), the deals aren't that big unless you are a coupon master.
Got myself a V30+ LG refurbished from ali, a week beforehand as I was impatient and didn't care for a 5% discount...IEMs I bought were in the 5-10% discount and 10 might even be pushing it...Got the C12 and a cable instead of the ZSX...TOUGH CHOICE!

Thank you so much!

Also, I got a pair of KZ ZS10Pro and I was wondering, is it worth mixing them like: Left IEM ZSN Pro - Right ZS10 Pro?
I mean, can you have a more balanced sound doing one thing like this? Because I love the ZSN Pro but sometimes the treble gets me even if the bass is a bit more explosive, while the ZS10 Pro is balanced and can handle the treble and giving a good bass anyway.

Thank you!

As long as the Police is not around and nobody can see you, you're free to experiment as you wish, just don't get caught.

Im afraid it doesn't work like that. Putting two different IEMs like that, and you would shift the stereo balance (noticably the bass and any other centered information of the mix). You could try for the fun of it though.

It would be better to just use EQ to shape your IEM's sound more to your liking

One side might be a lot quieter due to different sensitivity.

Timbre could get weird.

I would probably get dizzy.

yup, I'm also easily bothered by channel imbalances, and that situation would make me constantly adjusting the IEM's position to have centered soundstage... which in turn would be impossible because of the different drivers
