There’s a significant drop in traffic to HeadFi in general due to the global pandemic. As you might imagine, that is a slightly more important issue for most people right now.
In addition, the KZ thread has not been very active lately due to basically no new models being released lately.
I’d answer your eartip recommendation question, but unfortunately I don’t own the ZSX.
Thank you man.
I would be very interested to know a couple of your favorite non KZ branded tips , and i will keep it in mind that i will have to be responsible for making sure they fit the ZSX.
Have a good one man & thank you.

A few of my favorite non-KZ tips are Auvio, Azla SednaEarfit Light, Tennmak Whirlwind/Turbo wide bores, the stock tips from Sony MH755, the stock tips from Rock Zircon, and generic Sony Hybrid tips.
Also, don’t forget that you can convert your stock KZ Starline tips into ‘FlipTips’. You may find that you like those better than the regular KZ tips.
If you like foamies, this is good, better than the newbee foamies imho. For me, the starline silicone tips fits me good, but I like foamies too.

You know, I’ve been thinking about that. I wonder if the nickname they gave the ZSX -> “Terminator of Hybrid Technology”, was their way of saying ‘this is the last of its kind from us; the best we can do; the pinnacle of the KZ hybrid line of wired earphones’. Terminate means the ending of something.
Seeing how they and CCA haven’t come out with a single wired model after the ZSX, it might signal that as far as KZ is concerned, it’s TWS from here on out. Sure seems to be that way...
If that's the case, then it's a shame. Many of their wired earphones sound great, but there are still a lot of problems with TWS sets, and tbh, I'm not inclined to buy a set for the sheer fact that I'd be worried about losing one or both while wearing them. Even the crappy cables they normally ship with (sans chin slider) on their wired sets will at least prevent them from falling down the drain or under the wheels of a passing car. Just give me a good sounding wired set, and I'll do bluetooth with something like an ES100, BTR5/3. I might look at TWS again in a few years, but right now they just ain't there yet.
Thank you man.

I don't own the ZSX, but I do have it's predecessor the ZS10 PRO. I use Newbee foams on it, as well as on all my other iems (Moondrop Kanas PRO, TFZ NO.3, Nicehck NX7). I prefer the isolation of these soft memory foam tips compared to silicones, and they don't make my ears so sweaty that the iems either fall out or cause me ear discomfort. I've got another set of foams on the way from Anjirui on Aliexpress for 10 pairs that look like Newbees but are less expensive. Hope this helps you
I remember I reviewed the KZ E10 before and while I liked the sound of it (second only to the KZ ZSX), the issues it had with the Bluetooth modules made it impossible to use for me.
That said, I'm looking forward to reviewing the KZ S2. I like that it seems to borrow the Sabbat E12's physical button instead of a touch interface.

They kicked things off with the T1, which they always called a public beta (or something like that) and as far as I know, not available anymore. Was 42$ in nice metal case. Biggest fail was the 'volume hump' ... there's like no increment between 30% and 70% ... i still like them
Then the E10, which I know many many MANY people have connection issues with. I guess I got lucky, I barely have an issue ... my issue with them is that they are clunky to put on .. and I need to put different tips on, with which they don't fit into the case. And since sometimes for re-pairing they have to be in the case and you have to press a button (super cumbersome), this makes for a bit of an ordeal ... on the other hand, only AptX and 1DD+4AA makes this technically one of the most advanced TWS I own. Still available for 60$
And then new-ish, the S1 / S1D for 20-22$ ... nice, similar to the T1, but less 'premium' feel (cheapo case), does not have the volume hump, but also does not dazzle me as much as the T1, although same setup (1DD 1BA in the S1)
