There are at least 4 different versions of ATE:   1) Silver ATE with vent holes and with black/gold metal cable "reliefs". Driver inside has red plastic housing. This is my first version:   2) Translucent black ATE with vent holes and with silver/gold metal cable "reliefs". Driver inside...

  I'm just quite confused if mine is the 2nd or 3rd version, coz mine has red housing on the driver, with vent holes but with black/gold metal cable reliefs and the square like splitter, NOT the "Y" shaped one.

I just saw this post. I bought another pair of ATE  from KZ official store on Aliexpress ( i think)  today and it's pending shipment. How generous of them to not wait 24 hours payment verification. lol  ...

ATE´s aren`t defective but they do have sometimes problem with vent holes being full of glue or plastic-melt.  After 2nd iteration dirvers are probably littlebit different (blue housing ones). My bet is that Your ATE is 2nd version due to red housing drivers.   Here they should still sell...

I wouldn`t call 2nd gen bass "uneven" like You said (and I didn`t say it like that) - 2nd gen ATE bass in stock is just a tad uncontrolled or sometimes even slightly "boomy" sounding but not in regular way due it sounds more like "laid back/distant".    Now, what interests me is when did You...

...and additional words I remember being in the post such as "ATE" and "generation"). So for the keywords I'll enter "ATE driver blue red generation". Doing that search, I get exactly (3) results returned, and the post I'm looking for is the very top one. Easy as pie (with some luck thrown in)...

It has been quite a journey for me since I started to post and to share my Audio reviews in Head-fi community. Some of you might know me from XDA-Developers (under Vectron Reviews) or AndroidForums (under Twister6 Reviews) communities where I have reviewed lots of audio products, smartphone...

I uses to own ASG 2.5 and JVC HA-FX1100. But i sold them because i find that it was weak under 30hz. Yesterday i accendentally plugged the Shure E215 of my girlfriend in my ibasso D14 and played with equalizer as usual with Viper4android. At the end i could get better subbass with the Shure E215...

thanks for your appreciation! hope that distortion isn't audible. only right driver shows distortion above 1% (~3.3%, equivalent to ~0.3dB) in my case. guess it would affect sounds at that frequency (it's a narrow range), in the form of adding some grain, blur, while creating an illusion of...

Incredible details on your write up!...Nicely done!

CCA C10 Impressions Update (vis-à-vis The KZ ZSN): I've a confession. I didn't really shelve the CCA C10 when it arrived. The temptation to hear more was so irresistible that it’s a wonder I even considered putting it aside for a while. I was so taken with the similarity to the KZ ZSN that I...

Wow! That's a very detailed and complete appraisal. I am going to post my review of the C10 today, but your "dissertation" has put it to shame! Still, it's always helpful to have many different views on a subject and some varying musical examples. However, I like you, now feel that the C10 is my...
