+1 for ED9 an amazing little iem, I couldn't believe the sound either

I still have a pair of the ED9 black, one of the best overall cheap IEMs I've ever owned!

Easy going sound, nice construction, perfect for taking out and about. Not a fan of the springy rubber cable though, but at least it doesn't tangle much. Also they're quite heavy due to metal construction.

@B9Scrambler You DO need them! :deadhorse:

...and I still think ED9 sounds "splashy" and unnatural in highs, no matter what nozzle, tips or mods being used. Typical V-shaped FR also, tthough, quite fun otherwise.

Agreed, it is splashy. However, I bought a newer version for my cousin last year and it was much more controlled up top than my original, early release version. Hoping my new one is too. Seems they changed the drivers from a bio-diaphragm to titanium coated, if the marketing blurbs are to be believed.

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. :D
the dzat is much more comfortable and prettier to look at; they're both easy to drive tho the kzr isolates much better. soundwise i wouldn't describe either as balanced--they both have enhanced low end, though not at basshead levels. most would find the ksr to be bigger sounding and technically better, with superior imaging and layering, but also more colored; the dzat is the more natural sounding, with good overall clarity. both are recommended.

nice to see you come around on the ed9, which remains unassailable in my pantheon of kzs.

I've always liked it and think it's very good, but the splashiness keeps me from listening to it for any length of time. It's on my recommended KZs list and along with the ATR will be staying there once I finally get around to updating it. ZST and ZS3 will be getting the boot for the ZSR and ZS10. ED10 will need to go as well since it's no longer available :frowning2: Not sure what I'm going to replace it with just yet.
