It has been nominated as one of the best earphones under $50 by the OzBargain community.

Note that you cannot stack coupon codes on GearBest so you'll have to make that into 2 separate transactions.

Edit: I just realised that the code might have been prepared by GearBest for coolstan but somehow I spotted & posted.

    I love KZ earphones. The KZ detachable bluetooth upgrade cable has pretty crappy battery life though. It only lasts about 2 hours and aren't very good for running.

    • scotty on 20/10/2017 - 17:29

      Thanks for sharing the experience, although 2 hours is fine for running for me though :)

      What would you recommend as a cheap pair of wireless headphones for running?

      • qvntmflx on 20/10/2017 - 17:42

        I got a pair of Mpow Cheetahs just last week. This is the first pair of headphones I've purchased for running and I have no complaints so far. Easy to use, they fit really well, won't fall out of your ears, and I think they're really comfortable. I took them for a spin in the Sydney downpour today and they seem to handle the rain with no problems at all. If you switch from some "proper" headphones to the Cheetahs within a short time span you will notice that the sound quality isn't really that fabulous, but that might be the case with most bluetooth headphones of this kind, I have no idea. Anyway, after a while you'll get used to the sound and for its purpose the headphones deliver more than well enough. Super easy to pair as well.

    • donnot on 20/10/2017 - 17:32

      How long ago did you buy the cable? According to this post the old cable was recalled… Hopefully the 'revised' version is what they're currently selling.

  • pyramid on 20/10/2017 - 17:26

    Finally spent money on earphone.

  • dcep on 20/10/2017 - 17:31

    damn! can get 3 of these vs 1 zs5

    • ethan961 on 20/10/2017 - 20:15

      I'd rather one ZS5 any day personally, they're truly a league ahead. I'd rather sit down with them amped than my other cans, they're that good especially with good sources. With the ZS5 at ~A$22 after coupon, this is about all I'd pay for the ZS3. ZS3 is still good at this price though, for sure.

    Just realised that the code was actually prepared by GearBest for coolstan here last night. That somehow didn't get posted.

      Thanks scotty for posting this.

  • donnot on 20/10/2017 - 17:36

    These IEM's are quite large, so not ideal for people with small ears (unless you want to wear them awkwardly). Won't find much better for this price though, bluetooth or not.

    The cable should also be compatible with the ZS5 (same connector).

    • worrierwan on 20/10/2017 - 18:00

      Yeh I bought these but they honestly would not stay in my ears despite trying all the sizes because the ear piece is so big. Good sound though but wasn't usable for me because of its size

      • donnot on 20/10/2017 - 18:54
        +1

        If it's mainly an issue of them falling out, foam tips like these may help. I use similar tips with my other KZ set that doesn't stay in with the stock ones.

  • Crownie on 20/10/2017 - 17:46

    Bought both items in separate orders.
    Been eying off some KZ IEM's and at this price, I can't ignore it.
    Thanks scotty and coolstan.

    • frewer on 20/10/2017 - 18:18

    So the BT module only works for KZ earphones with detachable cables ie it's a proprietary connector?

  • currentfad on 20/10/2017 - 18:43

    Best earphones for the price. I have small ears but they fit perfectly soo..YMMV! Real talk though, how come priority line shipping is so expensive now. I paid like $2 for it when I bought my KZ ZS3 a few months back. Hate the long waits!

  • superforever on 20/10/2017 - 19:24

    Thanks I have the KZ ZS3 earphone the sound is very good for the price.

    Bought the bluetooth upgrade.

    Also my Xiaomi Mi IV on the way from DHL and the $4 bluetooth earphone.

    Why I need all these earphones … XD

    • obi1 on 20/10/2017 - 21:42

      same boat.

  • Steptoe on 20/10/2017 - 19:35

    Diccount Code seems to work only for single item, despite REP stating limit of 3 each.

    • superforever on 20/10/2017 - 21:05

      Did you try three separate orders

      • Steptoe on 20/10/2017 - 21:06

        Not yet, but seems 😖

  • Xastros on 20/10/2017 - 19:44

    So many different types of KZ. How are these for bass? Listening to EDM and Hip Hop. Don't really like flat sound signature.

  • HcNguyen111 on 20/10/2017 - 19:55

    Have had the KZ ZS3 for a few months. Bought the bluetooth upgrade module 2 weeks ago, received 2 days ago.

    The bluetooth module connectors do not fit the ZS3 earpieces properly. They seem to be oversized, or the earpiece holes are too small (1-2mm off).

    Packaging clearly says compatible with the ZS3 as well.

    • donnot on 20/10/2017 - 19:59
      +1

      That's weird. Perhaps they were improperly packaged (I believe there is another identical looking BT cable with a different connector), but then again, KZ's quality control isn't great.

    • Steptoe on 20/10/2017 - 20:57

      Straight plug or curved plug?

    • ethan961 on 20/10/2017 - 21:39

      The sockets are direction sensitive, you've got them on the right side? One side of the socket is flat and the other is curved so that you can only put the left channel into the left IEM in theory.

    • HcNguyen111 on 21/10/2017 - 09:27

      Yeah crap. Redacting my original comment. Bought the wrong Bluetooth module (ZST, not ZS3 - the curved plug).

      Problem solved though, just bought a ZST and the posted ZS3 module.

    KZ ZS3 and ZS5 has great following among hardcore audiophiles who are on a budget. You can buy without a thought at this superb price

  • hedonistic on 20/10/2017 - 20:18

    They have good sound for the price but they're a nightmare ergonomically. I don't like mine personally.

  • Autonomic on 20/10/2017 - 21:50

    How are these compared to the ED9s?

  • Macgyver on 20/10/2017 - 22:04

    can you confirm that the KZ Universal 2 Pin 0.75mm Braided Silver-plated Earphones Cord …will work with these headphones. If so can you offer a coupon code for them by any chance?

    • donnot on 21/10/2017 - 13:38

      They will work with the ZS3 (couple of user reviews have them connected to the ZS5 which uses the same connector).

  • patientvalue on 21/10/2017 - 13:23

    do you know if the code is only valid for Australian addresses only?

    i am in Thailand for a while and want to get them sent here directly if possible.

    • superforever on 21/10/2017 - 16:26

      Gearbest promotional deal I think mostly only for AUS/NZ IP.

    • Steptoe on 21/10/2017 - 16:42

      Might just be IP limited. Try a VPN?

    • Mitsunami on 23/10/2017 - 06:11

  • ipiok on 21/10/2017 - 17:08

    I'm honestly surprised the owner of ozbargain is posting gearbest deals after 3 pages of mostly negative feedback on the forums… It's hardly a "deal" when you have to wait 2 months for it to arrive and then have to hope it's actually genuine.

    • scotty on 21/10/2017 - 17:29
      +1

      Thank you for your honesty, but

      • people complain about everything in ozbargain forums, and in this case the number of complaints is just correlating with the number of deals posted here (which is a lot)

      • I am posting deals based on personal experience. So far I usually received items from GearBest within a month. Recently I received the Xiaomi Wireless extender in 2 weeks (although most items are between 3-4 weeks).

      • Not sure why being ozbargain's owner has anything to do with it. I don't read all the comments on this site, and again I am posting from personal experience.

      • superforever on 21/10/2017 - 20:08

        Me too, I have no problem with gearbest because I used my office address and always have somebody there.

        My Xiaomi Mi VI earphone should arrive next Tuesday by DHL.

        I think some people may use home address that may be the problem.

        People can only saw when somebody complaint but nobody will post on forum when they have no problem.

      • ipiok on 22/10/2017 - 07:39

        Fair points, hopefully after all the recent negative feedback, things improve when using gearbest..

        • superforever on 22/10/2017 - 15:48

          Actually they have improved

    • itevenhasawatermark on 23/10/2017 - 09:59

      You order from China and get something in a month timescale, what’s new? If you want it in a week, their priority line is pretty cheap.

      • ipiok on 23/10/2017 - 19:24

        I was more referring to multiple people receiving fake xioami products…

        • superforever on 23/10/2017 - 19:37

          I think only happened in that instant.

  • Mitsunami on 21/10/2017 - 22:19

    Not sure what happened but when I applied the code 'coolstan1' the price changed from $7.99 to $10.19. Proceeding to the payment methods, the price reverted to $7.99 plus $6.18 shipping which makes it $14.17. I'm currently using a VPN since I am at Switzerland (currently I tried using an Australian shipping address and set the region/currency settings as Australia/USD), might that be the issue?

        If you're looking for something in the $10 range, the ZS3 is really good. If you've got a budget in the $30-$50 range, have a look into the ZS5/ZS6

      • farnkie on 23/11/2017 - 18:14

        I tried for ages! Didn't plug in. I contacted support and they quickly shipped a replacement

        • Jackson on 23/11/2017 - 18:24

          Ok I just tried again after reading some comments and I got it in, was the right that was difficult. I basically had to line it up so it was just in, put my fingernails on either side if the rubber bit around where the cable ends and jam then in.

          Unfortunately after connecting them to my z5 no sound, controls all work fine. Charging now to see if that makes a difference, in thr meantime put the standard cable in and impressed with the sound at this price. Seem to be quite a lot louder than the Xiaomi ones I picked up the week before.

        • Jackson on 23/11/2017 - 20:54

          @Jackson: ok, worked out that if I turn off the call profile in the settings for that BT connection it works, hopefully it will after a restart (edit:restart did the trick BTW). Also there is a long lag when using the controls, which kinda sucks, but I guess in my case I can use my watch for that at least.

          They do sound friggin amazing for Bluetooth in ear headphones that cost 10 bucks. I am seriously in disbelief that anyone would want to pay 300 bucks more than this…

    • SSX3 on 23/11/2017 - 18:21

      I had difficulty with one, used cloth to help grip each piece and got wired cable in after a few minutes. Then swapped out to bluetooth module and wasn't a challenge plugging that one in.
