Coincidentally, I’ve been taking the standard ZSN out myself as the de facto EDC pair until the ZSN Pro arrives. Hoping it’ll help me better be able to answer the “what’s the pro for” question that’s inevitably going to get asked on r/headphones when the review goes up.
Fwiw, I can’t run the ZSN on stock tips. There’s just something about the narrow bore of the Starlines that funnels that extra treble detail right into a spear that doesn’t fare well for my tastes. Thanks to Slater’s little flip-tip mod, though, most of that goes away in a flash and I’m not finding the seal nearly as finicky as I was with both the Starlines and Auvio wide-bores. Seems that, in my ears, the nozzle is long enough that I can end up pushing the Auvios in too far and breaking the seal…my ears must have a weird shape, I suppose. Not so much with the flip-tip.
