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

2017-06-18 05:34:49 UTC  

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

2017-06-18 05:35:17 UTC  

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

2017-06-18 05:35:52 UTC  

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

2017-06-18 05:37:03 UTC  

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

2017-06-18 05:37:08 UTC  

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

2017-06-18 05:37:09 UTC  

I'm starting to believe it

2017-06-18 05:38:02 UTC  

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

2017-06-18 05:38:07 UTC  

CHIFI

2017-06-18 05:38:17 UTC  

nah the ZS5 has dual BAs

2017-06-18 05:38:31 UTC

2017-06-18 05:39:00 UTC  

dual DD as well

2017-06-18 05:39:02 UTC

2017-06-18 05:39:15 UTC

2017-06-18 05:39:16 UTC  

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

2017-06-18 05:39:42 UTC  

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

2017-06-18 05:39:50 UTC  

yea, it seems like anything above like $50 is just marketing to stupid people

2017-06-18 05:39:50 UTC  

to be fair we were in a very loud break room and it was super loud at lunch time so i cant say i listened to it properly

2017-06-18 05:40:05 UTC  

but he had the whole rockbox ipod, dac/amp plastic banded together sorta shit

2017-06-18 05:40:08 UTC  

those $3000 IEM's are for dumb rich people

2017-06-18 05:40:23 UTC

2017-06-18 05:40:50 UTC

2017-06-18 05:41:23 UTC  

oh btw hektik

2017-06-18 05:41:27 UTC  

they refunded me 8 bux for the cable hehe

2017-06-18 05:41:32 UTC  

ZS5 are SAID to have 2ba 2dd

2017-06-18 05:41:40 UTC  

But someone showed they may not be.

2017-06-18 05:41:43 UTC  

didnt want to dog em too hard, i demanded a 5 bux refund but they offered 8

2017-06-18 05:41:44 UTC  

Verdict is still out

2017-06-18 05:41:48 UTC  

DD is confirmed

2017-06-18 05:41:57 UTC  

and one BA is probably in the nozzle

2017-06-18 05:42:02 UTC  

well, they're in there, for sure

2017-06-18 05:42:05 UTC  

like KZ did with the ZST

2017-06-18 05:42:19 UTC  

all drivers are in there

2017-06-18 05:42:29 UTC  

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

2017-06-18 05:42:44 UTC  

One is completely blocked off in the mold

2017-06-18 05:42:46 UTC  

where'd you find that info

2017-06-18 05:42:52 UTC  

on the head-fi KZ thread

2017-06-18 05:43:05 UTC  

thats like a 700 page thread

2017-06-18 05:43:09 UTC  

doesnt really mean much

2017-06-18 05:43:11 UTC  

which post

2017-06-18 05:43:18 UTC  

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