Does this ring a bell? Because you made a grave presumption. I was talking to you, but I was talking about HouseOfDoom. Now, if someone could tell me how the hell I use these multi-quote thingys.

We can just ignore everything he says. He's just a big KZ hater, as he generally damns the entire line-up without any merit. If anyone has noticed, he leaves a snide remark against KZ or a KZ product in every other page of this thread.

I just got an email from the official KZ store on AliExpress and it seems like they'll hold another big sale this November 11 (tomorrow as of this writing).  

I see where your retort is going. But I'm trying actually to be as objective as possible. Not everyone has studio grade mics and an oscilloscope. Anyway, I still standby the EDSE over the Pistons 2.1. Aside from being practically a better version of the same thing in terms of sound, you get...

ES > EDSE > Pistons 2.1. The EDSE is a better comparison to the Pistons 2.1 though because of their similar sound. EDSE > Pistons 2.1. Better at everything except soundstage. Better with an equalizer. Better cables. Better plug. Better price.    I don't have an ED3.

EDSE > Pistons 2.1. They're too similar in terms of sound, but the KZ does sound better and they respond to equalizer changes MUCH better. The Pistons 2.1 are barely adjustable with an EQ. The Pistons 2.1 do nothing better, except provide a slightly wider soundstage. Unless you need a mic and...

These are my EQ settings for the SHE3580 on my Note 3. I'm still working on my final settings for the KZ EDSE, but this EQ setting works nicely on them too. I suggest reducing frequencies under 125 Hz a bit more though, since the EDSE is more bass heavy than the SHE3580.

I was planning on purchasing the LPS, but I already have a Takstar Pro 80. Seems I won't be getting the LPS now.

The KZs (at least the EDSE and ES which I have) are very receptive to changes in the equalizer, just like the Philips SHE3580. They're flexible. I can't say the same for the Pistons 2.1 and to a slightly lesser degree the TTPod T1E, which I also own. The overbearing bass can be tamed easily...

What? You don't make sense. I wouldn't write that comment if I didn't own a CX300 in the first place. I used to own the CX-300 long, long ago. It's been over half a decade since they broke. I can say without hesitation that the KZ EDSE are far better than them.

The humble $9 KZ ED Special Edition would mercilessly crush the CX300-ii in every criteria. You can only imagine what sets that cost over $30 in Chinese budget-fi land will offer, although diminishing returns still apply. For instance, the $36 TTPod T1E doesn't sound twice as good as the KZ ED...

I just checked the review of the NS400 over at Digital Trends and Tennmak just Photoshopped the picture. http://www.digitaltrends.com/headphone-reviews/nocs-ns400-review/ Sleazy scumbags. They'll never have my money. I have little doubt that the glowing "feedback" is their doing too...

I only saw a few feedback and some of them seem dubious. Also, the English used in one of the feedbacks is oddly familiar. It's entirely possible they gave themselves a rave feedback. lol...

Where exactly did you see these reviews/feedback?

My KZ ES now has well over 200 hours. I think I can assess it now. The boomy bass from whence it was still a virgin has now mellowed down. Also, most of the veil in the mids has gone. I'm also very happy that the KZs, both my ES and EDSE, are very receptive to being equalized. I could raise any...
