your wire is black?

The memory ones shouldn't even fit the ZST

They're keyed

wait a sec mines not black

its like copper coloured

idk what you call it

Copper/grey?

ill see if i can find where i bought it

its that listing with the wire thats attached

i dont have the mic version though

wait do you have the mic version?

So if you bend the wire right underneath the IEM, does it feel like bending a thick paperclip?

yes, my wire isnt that wire as pictured

the copper colour part is but mine doesnt have a mic and it has a memory wire for sure

and that is the listing i bought

Wow weird.

also you have no mic or have mic

I have the silver cable, but the stock ones I have, have mics

nvm

i found on reddit this comment: just joined the KZ ZST club and my first week with them was awful! Looks like the bundled brown cable now includes memory wire and after spending more on tips than I did on the IEM's themselves, i found that the memory wire was the biggest contributor to them coming out!

they must have changed their cables sometime ago

anyways i dislike the memory wire.. i have 3 dollar earphones with non-memory wire and they're much easier

But yeah, you just make a nick in the heat shrink on both sides, cut the memory wire with something near the end and pull it out with pliers

It won't come out of the connector end, so get it as close as possible or you'll be stabbing your ears

Also, the mic buttons on the ZS5 are totally useless with my pixel

ah wow ok.. i might just buy a new silver cable instead

Someone took apart the ZS5's and showed that they had one dynamic driver, and one armature that had no paths out to your ear and might just be there for show

dammit man i cant decide whether or not to buy em for the large soundstage because i already am impressed with ZST soundstrage

I'm starting to believe it

Also, the ear tip just got stuck in my ear.

CHIFI

nah the ZS5 has dual BAs

as long as it sounds good

dual DD as well

my friend let me try his.. triple driver multiple thousand IEM or something and i didnt really care too much for it

kinda want a pair to fuck around with but eh

i find that as long as i like the sound signature then im happy

i just want my dumb accoustic tubing to come so i can reshell my tf10s
