enamel wire is a bitch

struth

I took it out of my hi2050s and replaced it with 22 awg copper from ali

and then put a jack on

awfully enough before I had a jack, I hand made a 3.5 mm cable, it was even braided

it was awful though, decent for a first try, but awful compared to just buying a $1 aux

just dunk the end in acetone :v

or with newer stuff there's other scarier solvents

can likely also burn it off

i just burn it

but i try and avoid enamel whenever possible

it doesn't help that the copper is literally hair thin in some cases

Emery boards for nails work too

But you have to really work them, if you don't, the connection will have such a resistance you won't hear shit

And it'll be unbalanced

sounds like a meme

ZS5 vs ZS6

is it worth the extra few quid?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

thanks for your input

@Adam W There's a coupon for the ZS6 that makes it $20, not sure if @Deleted User still has it

or if it expired

it expired

I had ZS6 in my basket all day thinking about it

now it's gone

It'll pop up again soon enough

iirc aproear says they're roughly the same in terms of sound quality, they just have different signatures

Aproear's a shill though

would normally a 3meters 3.5mm extension cable (from mobo back audio jack) impact quality of in-ear headphones (kzs6)?

yes

not much tho

can't make zs6s much worse

honestly all chifi reviewers are shills

nobody willingly spends that much on shitty sidegrades

even im fairly conservative compared to the ammount of shit people like aproear and audiobudget guy get

half the people in the chifi thread on headfi are shills too

head fi is being invaded by r/headphones shills for zmf and muddy bass cans

headfi was full of shills long before /r/headphones
