all drivers are in there

but there are no paths for two of them to exit into your ear

One is completely blocked off in the mold

on the head-fi KZ thread

Someone noticed one of the BA's disconnected from the factory and it didn't change the sound at all when they reconnected it

Let me find it

"There is only 1DD and 1BA that actually work"

There are a few others in the thread that re-shell them and will crack them open when they get their pairs

And we'll know for sure

We don't know for sure yet

I know a lot of other companies probably don't like 1. the design 2. they have 4 drivers

So it may just be FUD

From other companies

Anyway, going to go smoke a joint. Will update on the ZS5's when I'm sufficiently lit.

My 'Return of the Mack' rating system rates ZS5's 8/10

I finally got a good seal with some different tips and they're <:aliOK:251417852156837888>

You can hear what side of the keyboard they're playing on as they move their hands side to side <:aliOK:251417852156837888>

Ok so I got totally trashed last night on pot and the KZ ZS5's came alive, even when I'm sober now.

Worth the $25 for sure.

Microphone buttons are shit, but I read they're changing those soon because they know it's broken.

Comfort is hit or miss depending on ear shape.

Have never heard that one

Do you have the ZS5 @KING LIAM ?

Cool story then <:aliOK:251417852156837888>

There are different sound signature and soundstage per each KZ headphone

Chill out dude

Just don't talk about something you don't know about

I don't have the EDR2, you don't have the ZS5. Chill.

I'm not comparing anything :)

why are global smilies disabled here?

So it's like shopping at Sephora

SEPHORA VIB ROGUE

just finished thanks

I just got a wireless gaming mouse from aliexpress, there was a cold solder joint on the micro usb so I had to reflow it, but it works now

I'm worried about them coming with malware

bass on the zs5's is so good omg

punchy, fun, and well balanced bass 😄

It's better than the ZST

Your ears/brain like EQ's the sound for you after a few hours with them and whew they sound great now.

They sound very neutral. everything is kind of just there and the soundstage is ginormous.

Bass is super fun'

@AlbumONLY I am using my tri-flange which give a seal so good it hurts my drum to pull it out. they sound amazing with a great seal.

I'd kill myself before buying a phone with no headphone jack

I'll stick with pixel xl's for the next 10 years god dammit

@AlbumONLY these have wonderful stereo separation

I'm about to watch a HQ version of Passengers. I'll let you know how they sound with movies.

They're pretty good to be honest

And for $25, no shit there's hype 😄

Probably a month

Anyone know of any good cheap chifi portable headphone amps?

I'm banned from /g/ for some reason

I've only posted once on /g/ and it was in /csg/ to talk about KZ IEM's

And I got banned

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Off topic

KZ ZS5 on sale for $20

Really good price. I might pick a blue pair up tomorrow.

KZ ZS5 is just a ZST in a different shell

Lololol

Yeah, the shell and placement of the drivers changes soundstage

It's bigger, but it's the same IEM

KZ dun goofed. People won't trust them

That's why they've been quickly dropping in price from $40 down to $18 yesterday

There was a posting in <#287939846662651906>

Also I'm really glad someone did this

Put to rest all of the idiots that say copper & silver make a difference.

Ace, check <#287939846662651906> yesterday

Guessing the person who said only two drivers actually work, was right.

Hmmm

It looks like the graph above was bullshit done on crap equipment

Here's a more trusted KZ ZS5 graph

ZST

Ace, it's a good IEM. It does have a little more neutral sound than the ZST. Very fun.

The KZ ZS5 Bluetooth cable isn't that bad for $10. 3-4 hour battery life, sounds good, great range

KZ ZS6 being released soon

Up for preorder

Metal housing ZS5 in the same design

Yes

You can't even legally use those radios anywhere without a license

In USA at lesst

So ymmv

Yeah they will, VHF/UHF take minutes to direction find

There are NO bands you can legally transmit on without a license.

Unless they're FCC registered walkies for like GMRS/FRS Which they aren't.

Sure, if you're using FRS/GMRS radios

Not wouxons.

But hey, I'm not gonna tell anyone if you do

Just saying mang

I pirate FM

It's all good

Also, if you talk shit on the radio, be prepared for someone to find you and kick in your door

You can't VPN your way out of $7 worth of direction finding equipment.

Yeah radio people are super autists

It comes with an antenna

You don't need another one
