Review on Headphones KZ ZS5 Microphone Detachable by Eric Hay

Hard to beat these headphones even at five times the price or more. The sound is detailed and there is no fuzziness or clutter in the mids and highs compared to the M6-Pro which was my previous IEM on stage. To use the hackneyed phrase, "It was like taking a heavy blanket off the sound," but in this case, it's literally true. The sound was a bit annoying and tiring when first listened to, but after a night of listening the harshness eased and almost disappeared. Use the correct type of foam. Headphone tips. Replaceable New Bee Premium ear tips that block outside noise. From a comfort standpoint, having sharp edges (on the side facing the ear (really, CZ? Why?) that nobody but the wearer can see seems like a silly, unnecessary design element. Unless you have big ears, you will these sharp edges cause discomfort if worn for more than half an hour A little time with a carefully used nail file improves this noticeably (see photo) to keep the IEM in place during this over-the-ear technique normally eliminates cable noise (microphone noise), the stock cable is a bit stiff and springy, so despite the inexpensive upgrade cable, it calls: Stereo Audio Cable, KZ ZS3 ZS 5 Upgrade Silver-Plated Headphone Replacement Audio Cable, Silver eliminates the problem with the microphone so as it is much lighter and more flexible. Too bad IEMs don't have a better cable but then I suppose they must be more expensive. Buying both together (at the time of my nes purchase) resulted in a slight discount. The same cost reduction is evident even without a case, but in my opinion the sound of these things at an incredible price more than makes up for the lack of luxury peripherals. The attached photos show the headphones with the modifications mentioned above, as well as a black velcro strap to keep the cables secure at the back of the head and a collar clip from my spare M6 Pro cable. Highly recommended (with changes).
