If you don't mind the green colour, it's cheaper on GearBest, but my advice would be to stay away from this and buy a VE Monk. I've tried the ZS5 and it was total garbage, I cannot support the hype around the KZs. https://www.gearbest.com/earbud-headphones/pp_770870.html

DanLeLots of KZ stuff available for cheap over there. I've had a good experience with them as well.

DanLeYou're comparing the ZS5 to the VE Monk?? That's apples and oranges. The Monk is an earbud, not an IEM. By its nature, it has no isolation and no bass. The KZ ZS5 is one of the best earphones I've ever heard. I can hardly wait to hear the ZS6.

rgurdalYes, they are apples to oranges, but IMO the VE Monks for $5 sound better than the ZS5. Then again there's a conversation going around about ZS5 v1 vs v2, perhaps I got a v2 of the ZS5 and they're definitely not worth it.

DanLeAgree, I too bought the ZS5 (among several other models over 3 years) and am disappointed. Bass is not reproduced faithfully. The upper mid and treble is fine though. Much of it is hype with the BA drivers.
Their marketing cannons go on without a break with each incremental model. Wouldn't bet my money on this company anymore.

I had a good laugh. If that wasn't sarcasm, do excuse.

DanLetbf, monk+ is overhyped too. It sounds like $10 earbud and that's it.

gobinAgree to disagree, then you can only imagine how horrible the ZS5s were.
