  Does the ZN have cable noise and if so how bad?

I have seen a few people on here experience this issue, I for one have not experienced it. I work out with these 5 days a week and wear them outside my shirt and no noise.

Okay.  How is the seal , fit, isolation, and do they stay in your ears without putting them over your ears and without the ear hooks?  Does yous your mic and buttons still work?

Which would you recommend? The Zn or the 1More Triple Driver for EDM?

So I've been using ZN since they came out and never heard any other earphone that holds a candle up to it. I love it's SQ.

Today I bought the Sony XBA-N1AP out of curiosity. And wow, they sounds really good. They really give the ZNs a run for their money. I'm A-B ing them at the moment but dare I say, I think I may have found something that I prefer over the ZN...

I had a hard choice choosing Zn over Fender FXA-7 yet decided to go ahead and buy the Zn being intrigued by V-Moda's claim "competes with $300-$1000". The Zn does not live up to that bold statement. These are very fun sounding in ears. I have a pair of IE80s($300) and the Zn doesn't even compare. Lacks the separation and sound-stage for my taste.
Is it worth $180? I would say yes because you get amazing design and V-moda loyalty along with fun sound signature.
I currently own the below mentioned in-ears and ill write how Zn compares next to them. (Price in brackets are what i paid. Not current retail)
Sony XBA-Z5($800) - The best i have ever owned and Zn sadly hold no candle. Zn lacks range,clarity,expansive sound-stage,airiness & separation.
Sennheiser IE80($450) - Zn is not in this league when sound is compared but have superior build.
Sony Ex750NC($100) - Zn sound similar to these yet Ex750 has a signature i prefer when coupled with Sony DAP.
Sennheiser Momentum In Ear($125)- Zn makes mementum iem sound like trash which it really is.
Focal Sphere In Ears($120) - Zn has preferable bass and lacks details compared to the focal. Iirc Focal is $120 which is THE bang for the buck.

To those of you using custom tips, does anyone know how to shop for compatible ones for the ZN?

I have unusually big ear canals, so even the biggest ones that come with the ZN sink in too far and get loose with time.

I like the triple flange design, but I'm open to trying any tip that is larger.

I did search the thread and found people using different tips, but I'm unsure how large they are compared to the largest size that comes with the ZN.

After almost 4 years, I've lost the left tip. I must say these are the most durable IEMs I ever had. For almost 4 years, these were in my pocket every day. Extremely durable!

If I record a rubber band vibrating with good equipment, how would it sound on these vs anything else you know of?

It would sound... bassy.

It would sound... bassy.

What kind of bassy? Also, how would you describe it's mid-range?

 

[Hark01]

Hm. I guess mids would be called somewhat recessed. And bass is the best I've heard. Especially great on contemporary EDM tracks. However, strong bass gives it somewhat dark sound and sacrifices some clarity in the mids.. It's like an IEM version of their M-100 sound.

I found the v-moda zn at 55$.
It's worth buying? Other suggestions?
I really love bass.

For that price, I think it's great bass-head pick.

Which is more prominent, lower mids or upper mids?
