how are the ATE compare to the ZST?
ATEs are mid forward, while ZSTs are somewhat the opposite being a v shapehow are the ATE compare to the ZST?
Agree with you totally. Your sub-10s are all great.I've just noticed Einsear T2 in your signature...I also have them, using them on my Benjie DAP. What are your thoughts on them and how would you compare the two T2s? (other than Einsear having more bass, I'm certain, and being warmer)
Also, KZ EDR2 vs. ED9 vs. UiiSii HM7? I might get a pair of sub-10$ IEMs, just because...
On the topic of burn-in: while I can understand that (some) drivers might sound slighly different after a while due to “adjusting“ to different signal they're receiving compared to factory tuning, I still believe that most of percieved difference in sound comes simply from you getting used to head/earphones' specific sound signature. In other words, “brain burn-in“ is more responsible than actual changes on drivers, whatever they may be...
Just my 2 cents...
I think I might get a pair of UiiSii HM7 for my mother, she wanted a pair of white/gold earphones so I got her some white/gold Rock Zircon last night but after reading opinions of the Rock Zircons I might cancel and get the UiiSii HM7.
Good choice?
tbh she will be happy with anything I get I just want to get her the best possible (for around £5) with the color she wanted.

Since its the last day of the Aliexpress sale, I just wanted to throw it out there that if you're looking for something around $40 ($32 if you already have an mmcx cable), consider the Z5000.
When I began buying IEMs, I didn't consider myself a bass person. The Zhiyin Z5000s changed the way I saw bass and while I wouldn't call myself a basshead by any means, I learned to appreciate good bass in an IEM.
These have insane bass extension; they hit very low sub bass and have nice impact in the mid bass. Despite that, I don't experience any muddiness, and vocals aren't drowned out nor take a backseat like they do in V shaped sound signatures. Male vocals are full but clear, and guitars sound amazing since you can feel the impact of the strings. They have a solid treble that isn't artificial or dull, but the bass definitely takes most of the presence. Also, I'm not sure what it is about these, but I feel like I feel like details that are left behind in other IEMs are made so much clearer with the Z5000s, which really makes these a fun pair to listen to music with. Could it be the "Tesla Drivers" they are using? The downsides are that these can sound a little "stuffy" when compared to IEMs with a brighter signature and large soundstage. These are much more intimate in comparison. There is also the small issue of driver flex, which isn't a huge issue if you use foam tips. They overall have a rich sound that is very addicting and is a nice contrast to more common V-shaped sound signatures,
I personally EQ my Z5000s in the frequencies above 2k which opens up the sound a little, make female vocals a little "clear"er, and add a little more sparkle, but not too high to take away from the low end.
In the event you dislike it, you still have a very durable IEM with that can be a bass reference when you want to compare other IEMs. I personally think its a pretty good idea to have an IEM that excels or even is excessive at a certain frequency so you can use it to compare to other IEMs when determining what your preferred sound signature is.
The only store that I know of, NiceHCK, has them for $48 without cable and unavailable $56 with. Where are you getting it for $32?Since its the last day of the Aliexpress sale, I just wanted to throw it out there that if you're looking for something around $40 ($32 if you already have an mmcx cable), consider the Z5000.
Yikes, I was looking at the seller "hotfi", but it looks like the cable-less version is sold out. They are selling the one with a cable included at $46.75, which is still a little cheaper.

Nice photography
Try xelento from beyerdynamic and not your taste, but concept of Bass. Just to much realistic but emphasized bass.
