When I measured the ZST Stock/silver cable they were identical within margin of error.

so i shouldn't buy the silver one?

what upgrade should i buy?

Two perfectly functional cables will sound identical withing reasonable length

I have the silver ZS3 cable but only because the stock is hugely microphonic

What you buy is up to you tho

I aint you

well thx for the feedback

i'm kinda hyped for these and i hope they arrive before next month, but doubt so

I havent heard the ZS5 but theyre reportedly pretty decent

I'd get a pair but I have other shit I want to fuck with

I have kz ate's

ATEs are pretty mediocre imo

they are pretty uncomfortable in your ears, anything to do about it?

though when on sale I cant really complain a huge ammount

changed tips?

Yeah, try a bunch of different tips

@Make i hate cable that kz iems come with

yeah

that pretty much the only thing you can do

Though I found the ATEs supremely uncomfy purely because the shit ergonomics

and the plastic cable holder wich goes around your ears

very uncomfortable

That cable is too small to go around my ears

oh you got the ATE-S

Its made for earlet chinks

welp i have small ears, let's see how it goes

No I got kz ate

Are you earlet lol

Then what plastic cable holder are you talking about?

Don't you mean the memory wire?

Because the ATE never came with that, only the ATE-S

i never had memory wire but it should be nice

I like memory wire but it can be really fiddly to re-adjust a lot.

It's why I let my IEMs hang from my shirt rather than putting them in my pocket
