I like the zn but I'm finding the cable strain, if moved, produces breaks and clicks in music which cuts out. I'm fairly certain I'm within the two year warranty and maybe I just got a dud unit as I baby my iem collection that I keep with me at all times as the girlfriend steals them if I leave them unguarded lol. Any assistance?

Nah she actually likes this hobby which is a winning quality all in its own right. She hasn't even touched these yet nor does she know about them. I've only listened to them a bit and just noticed the cord issue. First I thought it was my iPhone 6+ but I got it swapped at Apple and it's still producing it.
Just received mine and have been putting them through their paces with different genres. So far they sound great with anything I throw at them. The bass has strong impact but never overshadows the midrange, in fact it falls nicely right in line with them. And the midrange is where they shine, nice and open. Highs are non-fatiguing. Tonally, these sound closer to the XS than to the M-100.

Thanks for the first impressions. That's disappointing to hear they share more similarities to the XS than the M100, as I much preferred the M100 to the XS. Mine's with the couriers going to be delivered in the coming days, hopefully I like them and don't need to return them.
If they don't happen to be my cup of tea, I'll most likely return and grab the headphones (crossfade wireless or m100).
Great review. Thanks. Seems like some diff impressions of these ZNs from each owner but I guess most agree it sounds exciting - can't wait to give them a good testing.

I, like you, also prefer my M-100 to the XS (I love the last bit of sparkle on top even though to my ears the XS is a bit more balanced and more neutral across the frequency). But I think I prefer these to the XS too. The Zn seems to be pretty balanced like the XS but they also have a bit more energy and punch in the bass, without ever being sloppy or slow. The bass detail is great also. It sounds full-bodied and fast.
Will post some more impressions when I do some more listening.
Ok upon listening some more, I'm hooked on the bass extension and simultaneous impact. I would say the bass is closer to M-100 bass while the mids are reminiscent of the XS. The highs are there but not as sparkly as the M-100. The meat and potatoes of this IEM are the bass and mids, I am convinced. Good amount of clarity all-around also. These are just fun, got me toe-tapping. Vocals sound very fleshed out and natural.
Can someone answer this for me? Is the black portion of the earphone made of plastic or metal? Seems like they have the vibrato chassis,, which I thought was metal?

wow. i almost feel cheated because they posted a video about the Zn saying how they laser their metal headphones... especially paying $263 CAD for them!
Is the plastic solid feeling, like the XS? it really looked like the vibratos and vibe IIs were metal all around, and they were at a lower price point. I thought their aim was to minimize use of plastics. if it was possible in previous offerings, why not this one? Honestly must say that I am disappointed if there is no valid reason for the use of plastic. $10 chinese earbuds use all metal ***.

Only if your cable lasts.... Mine has a fault on the right side. Returning, not replacing. I was misguided by their rediculous claims of sound performance and build quality.
Luckily all I'm losing is return shipping. Should have bought from Amazon instead of direct.

Yup, no other headphone every has an issue. Not even 1000 dollar iems. It seems like you didn't really want to give them a fair shake for whatever reason.
Either way, toodles. Enjoy whatever is next on your list.
