Zsr would be better honestly. From the sounds of it the es4 is promising. Lots of people like the tin audio t2. This might be a stretch due to being a little bright, but the tfz E5 or e3 might be good too.
Also, Why is it called the Ed16 if there are 12 drivers? Is this the one that was supposed to be 8 BA per side or is that still coming? Not like I won't buy both, but still...

Something wrong with the information listed there though.
The graphic on the case reads "ZS7". And it shows 2 BA's and not 4 BA's in the second pict. I saw the listing as "ED12" (which is wrong too actually) on Aliexpress.
But the specifications list seem to be correct: 1DD + 2BA.

I think somebody mixed up things. All in all I think it's time for to KZ spruce up their presentation. It's all messed up and I think they might have accidentally leaked info about an upcoming model probably the ZS7, although it's just a speculation on my part.
This ought to be interesting (ED16/ZS7) with it's 2+1 design found in the ZSR.
I'm glad that KZ had the forethought this time to issue this model with it's own 2-pin connector head instead of just throwing in a cable designed for an older model (ZS3 cable on ZS6 below).
I'll have to pick these up for three reasons:
1) To see how they differ from the ZSR.
2) To get those new cables and see what else they work with.
and most of all
3) because I finally got my wish.
What wish?
I've been wanting KZ to use the "electric blue" resin from the ZS2 on another IEM.
Despite the ZS2's strident midrange the "electric blue" resin was just stunningly beautiful. It was sort of a heartbreak that their best color got lost in the shuffle by having it debut on an IEM that needed better tuning.
For now, someone needs to get their ducks lined in a row and roll it out with the correct model name (ZS7?/ED16?).
They should stick with ZS7.
.......and now would be a good time for KZ to release their Star-tipped eartips in clear silicone like they promised a few months ago. They'd be a nice combo with silver cables on the blue. Let's hope that the cable image itself is a faux pas and this IEM will also be shipped with the new braided cable found on the newest crop of KZ's, just with the new connector heads.
.......if not, my TRN silver should work just fine.
Jeeeez... They are going to run out of names soon. Looks like they introduce a new model every week. Waiting for the first review of the zsa and we are already talking about 16BAs and the zs7. There's not even enough time for the shipping before you start dreaming about the new improved model..
I'm not expecting much variation in sound. Just different shells with their own ergonomic benefits. Pick based on price, looks, features (driver count, removable cable, up/down fit style, etc.), and you're good to go. I'm hoping this crazy model spam leads to a very focused lineup for the next wave, once they find out what the people are gravitating towards.

Yeah, if all the innards are the same then I'd expect only a slight increase in focus on imaging and a slight decrease in soundstage depth and width.
Hmmmmm.....
It's odd that they made mention of a crossover but made no mention of whether or not the 10mm DD is graphene. The 10mm DD in the ES4 is graphene and the 10mm DD in the ZSR is not. I would have expected this model to sport the Graphene DD if for no other reason than to differentiate it from the ZSR [perhaps tighten the low end and maybe even improve its texture while further improving resolution in the lower midrange (crossover point)].
If they can't even roll out the proper model name (ED16?/ZS7?) upon release then whomever is in charge of marketing needs to find another career......soon!
