I prefer to use speshul smaller diameter eartips, and rough-up the pole

Like this?

@Windatica

i've had heatsrink on my zs5's for months now, tfw no broken ears..

I might consider super-glue someday, but so-far they're staying on very tight now

no i have it over the tip itself, but you can do it that way too

I roughed up ur mums hole

i have to do that for my flange tips because they're all too loose

Sdeck37: you don't like the 3.5mm angled plug?

personally I really like it

Yeah, but that's definitely subjective

I personally put strain reliefs on my TRN V20's cable, and the ones on my ZS6's

TRN doesn't have a very good strain relief right by the plug

Just took the spring out of a pen, wrapped it around, and it's a good strain relief

Didn't have to solder it or anything

Is there any actual point in getting the silver plated cable vs the copper-only cable?

yeah you see silver makes the music sound more royal

Yes, lowers resistance, it doesn't break as easy.

I noticed a very slight difference in sound with ZST's

silver costs more so it sounds better to the failable human brain

ah okay, so it's bullshit and Nitro's a fagguete

I'll go buy the cheaper copper cable

thx

i mean, resistance DOES have an impact on sound, but you're not going to see it

for those cables

No. Nitro is correct, but it doesn't really have an influence on that scale.

The different is so minor it's not worth it. Besides, your average smartphone or computer can power KZ earphones easily.

Difference*

Well, I mean, sound quality wise it's not. For everything else, including the fact that it's just more durable

omg..

Makes less sound when you're moving around

*doubt*

ree

I should order some cables to compare

worth noting for y'all, you know how most smartphones have shitty DACs that hiss on low volumes? .. well my Xiaomi Note X4 doesn't do that, it actually has a really good DAC for a phone, seriously

cables are placebo, no cable you find will have the resistance necessary to change the sound unless you're buying etykids or an iem known to have high impedence

Maybe its a matter of better shielding

the Xiaomi Note 4x's dac can actually do 24-bit too

my dad loves his KZ ATEs so much that I had-to repair the cables a few times with a soldering iron, and then buy him more KZ ATEs

@Windatica You're telling me this doesn't make a difference?
