Dear lort, I had to unsubscribe from this thread because it moves so rapidly... but I’ve been reading the last 9 pages ... has anyone received their ZSA yet?

Why start with just one? He was looking at spending 50 dollars. Get the zsr, ed9, edr1, and ate for about $50 total!
My coworkers are really starting to question my sanity with how many pairs arrive weekly lately....

Haha, good question! ED9 is a two-in-one deal and imo is a good rep for the general KZ house sound. Not the best of the bunch but it's up there. If he doesn't like the ED9's sig, that dislike might carry over to other models and lead to immense displeasure. Since they're still exceptionally cheap, no love lost if he doesn't like it.

If they want to be really consistent, maybe the ZS7 will look like the new Campfire Atlas or Comet :^)
Just ordered mine yesterday from KZ Official Store. It's still being processed so it hasn't shipped out yet.

The ED9 is THE ORIGINAL Chi-Fi bargain. I think I paid $12 back in 2015.
When I first popped them in I couldn't believe I paid $12 for a chrome-plated IEM with interchangeable filters and a durable cable that sounded great. That shield-shaped case just reeled me in, too.
It actually started with the EDSE but two chrome ED9's and one black ED9 later........had to find out more about the company.........and here we are.
Prior to hearing the ED9 I was a fan of SoundMAGIC and the tuning of the original ES18. I still have one pair of working original ES18's which weren't a far cry from the ED9 sound signature , though the ES18 treble was slightly tapered. SoundMAGIC degraded the tuning of the ES18 to a muffled mess just when the EDSE and ED9 came out and the rest is history.
SoundMAGIC gradually disappeared from my radar. I don't think many people realized the whole "bait 'n switch" but the direct result of that foolishness is I lost respect for them.
Wasn't until the ZS1 and ATE were modified that I figured out that this is common practice in Shenzen.

Stop frustrating me with those yellow silicone tip photos! I might just buy a pair of akg y20 in yellow and steal them from those.The ED9 is THE ORIGINAL Chi-Fi bargain. I think I paid $12 back in 2015.

Yup, ED9 is a classic. So much so that I just ordered a black one for myself
Sure as heck don't need it. I just want it. No, no I need it. Yup.

Hi guys, what do you think about DZAT DF 10 vs KZ ZSR, I just read some reviews of DZAT DF 10 and looks like it is an awesome earphone, and ZSR is loved by many members in this thread, they are the same price so I don't know what to chose (DF 10 looks so beautiful). I prefer clear and natural sound and listen to mostly pop music, I'm not a basshead and don't like too much treble, balance and natural sound is best for me.
P/s: I read reviews on http://www.thephonograph.net/scores-comparison/ I don't know if this site is accurate, I just saw Rock Zircon got a low score and guess that it is pretty accurate.
