The people on head-fi are brain dead
oh you remove the memory wire so that is easier to put on?
i found the memory wire not my favourite thing
Yeah, I removed it in my silver cable
ok i might do that mod next time if i can be fucked
ZST doesn't have it, for some reason the ZS5 comes with it
wat? my zst has a memory wire
Really?
ye
i bought mine on ebay
None of my ZST cables came with a memory wire, weird
maybe they change their wires depending on whats available to them
wow weird
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?
where did you buy yours
probably aliexpress
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
