I'm not knowledgeable about earbuds, but my B40 arrived today and after a quick listen I was not impressed. Then I put the full foams on and when I listened again I was very impressed and also surprised that the foams made such a huge difference. I've wanted to get one good pair of buds even...

I received my RevoNext QT5 today. It's a premium product other than the useless eartips. It sounds good, but I doubt it can challenge the AS10 as my daily driver. I've read a lot of raves in this forum for the ZS10 Pro, ZS7 and a few others and I'm wondering if anyone feels there's any KZ that's...

I got the ZSE special edition and it sounds exactly the same as the original. Not a bad thing since it's easily in my all-time top 10 Chi-Fi value list, a total must have. They are practically giving them away. I think when KZ says special edition there is a cosmetic difference not a sonic...

Here's another angle of the eartips that have XL on them. I sure would like to buy more!!

Please do me a big favor and identify these XL eartips. I only have one pair and would like to order more because they are excellent.

The EP10 is for bassheads only. Most of the KZ's are superior and are basshead friendly better choices. I didn't find that the spinfits helped.

I tried the silver cable on my ZSN for a week and had to give up. I was unable to get a proper seal despite spending a week trying, so I'd say your friend was correct. When I switched to the stock copper cable I was surprised that it corrected the fit problem. The ZSN has now replaced the AS10...

MEL'S RULE: If you purchase 5 IEM's for $X each you are more likely to find what you like than buying one IEM for $5X.

I found these tips I had set aside for some reason. It turns out they are remarkably good and I'd like to buy more but I don't know what kind they are. You can see in the picture where is says XL on the tips. If you can identify them despite the poor image quality I would appreciate it!!

A pleasant surprise today when a friend sent me a ZSA. He bought that and the AS10 and raved about the AS10. I guess he didn't need the ZSA so he gifted me. Strangely I have not been able to get good results with them. I've tried every tip on the market and just can't get the sound quality I...

I received the ED12 today, actually due to an ordering error. Once I put foams on them they sounded pretty good. The one drawback is the quality of the mids, clearly inferior to the mids on the EDR1 and EDR2 which are also single dynamic drivers. Since those can be had for around 4 bucks I can't...

Thanks Slater for the tip on removing the foam from the ED-9 filters. I've customized the ED-9 a ton, including sealing the vents. The most dramatic change was when I made custom eartips for them. It's a classic item, when they first came out you felt you were getting a $100 IEM for 10 bucks. I...

So many mentions of the ZS3 lately, one of KZ's weakest products. The Slater mod is a big upgrade, but hardly saves it.

I agree. I have plenty of options and actually use a lot of IEMs, one for indoors, another for outdoors, one for lying in bed, and different choices depending if I'm listening to music vs watching a movie, or a short session vs an extended session. KZ offers remarkable value. If you spend 5...

I got my EDR1 today to compare with my EDR2. Both are a steal, excellent sound and build quality. I can't tell you how bad the EDR1 sounded with the stock tips. Why does KZ sell such great headphones with tips that range from fair to poor. They have never made tips that I found useable. Talk...

I have the EDR2, although it's not the special edition. I'm impressed by it but I mainly use my ES3 for listening to music, and that would be my favorite from the KZ line. Should I upgrade my EDR2 to the EDR1 or the EDR2 Special Edition?

I have had very poor results with those tips. I'm a serious tip tester and the only ones I can recommend is JVC spiral dots.

I listened to all my KZ earphones today. (except the ZS3 which I hate) The one that sounds best is the ES3 with Spiral Dots, no shortage of bass. I have the ZS6 and had to seal up one BA on each ear to solve the treble issue, and it sounds good now. I have ZS5 v1, and my much modded ED9 with...

The cable is not detachable and for 3 bucks you can find better sounding earphones.

I just removed the spinfits from my EMI CI-880 Hybrid and replaced them with Starlines, with poor results. I've tried a long list of tips on the EMI CI-880 Hybrid and none have resulted in satisfactory bass.

I have the QKZ W3 Pro which also has the DC connection. I'm also surprised it hasn't been more widely adopted. The W3 has a 9.2 mm driver. I'm curious as to how it compares to the W1. The W3 is a total steal for the price and may be in my top 5 for sound quality.

I'd be careful about doing a general recommendation of the EMI CI-880 Hybrid because if someone values bass they are going to want no part of it.

I'm excited about my latest discovery, the REZ D05 for lying in bed. When I got them I was surprised at the sound which would rival the best of my collection, and they were only $5. I made 2 mods. After trying out a boatload of tips I settled on the New Bee silicones. I also taped over the vent...

I wouldn't write off QKZ. I have the QKZ 36 and it's excellent. Asian Provocative Ear gives the QKZ DM300 an 8.6, and I'd rate it as an elite performer in both quality and value.

You really think the ZSE is a waste of $5.59? I disagree, it sounds great, fits great, is built great, looks great, and is one of the best bang for the buck audio products out there.
