  Hey ilikeiem,
Does it fit comply 400? Also, since you have both, can you compare them to piston 3s a little bit
-do either of them leak sound? (can I use them in a quiet library)
-the mic version seems to have the same cable as KZ-ED8, how does that cable compare to the Piston?
-and most importantly, how does the sound compare
 
thank you!

 
Does it fit comply 400?
Yes, of course.
 
-do either of them leak sound?
It depends on eartips and the shape of your ear.  For me, I find P3 stock tips leak sound a bit. So I replace stock tips with tri-flange eartips.  ED9 stock tips fit very well. No leak sound.
 
(can I use them in a quiet library)
With suitable eartips I would say "Yes". 
 
-the mic version seems to have the same cable as KZ-ED8, how does that cable compare to the Piston?
Piston cable is better. Also built quality of P3 is better too. 
 
- and most importantly, how does the sound compare
First you need super good seal in your ear with P3 otherwise sound will be too bright. 
 
ED9 has better resolution.  This is what i like the most.
 
What I don't like about ED9 is its sub bass.  It's boosted too much.  I don't know why it's harder to hear bass note with ED9.
Treble of P3 is a bit too bright for me but sub bass is cool.
 
If you want something more durable with best microphone and you can wear while you're sleeping in the library, P3 is the best

Otherwise, take ED9

Yeah, don't think I'm gonna touch that. If there's one thing I hate with ATH IM series, it's the nightmarish fit.

Looks really great though, it'd be kind of ironic if that's an all metal since it's $12-15 IEM vs $50-$80 one with all plastic shell lol.
