Seriously ?! 248RMB for 3 drivers hybrid that's not even 40$. Just wait through the weekend, i believe both AE stores will have it soon enough with even cheaper price. Thanks for the good discovery, now we have more options to choose.

 
 

   
I found out the **** has a new earphone DT2Plus, with one DD and 2 BA drivers. The look is similar with DT2 and DT2Pro. The price is only few dollars higher.  In Chinese:

Do you have good relationship with HCK or the banned seller? Could you ask them to add this iem?

 
Knew it was up as I saw them on Sounds World yesterday on Ali. $47 for silver cable and $42.75 for regular cable.

Does it say what no. Knowles driver on Taobao?? I click the link and it gives just a search page and too in a hurry(have to go to breakfast)
 
Let us know how they sound of course. Never particularly like the armatures in front on the dynamic path design as it is hard to do right but they are cheap!

Edit: I'm pretty sure there are unit variations in the ATE production and my pair may not sound like many others but they're the ones I've got and they really not enjoyable to me. This is really irrelevant in this discussion but I just wanted to clarify it anyway.

 
There are even various iterations of the first generation ATE around - some with only one small vent and some with two (or something like that - there was a discussion in a German community some months back with pictures of both models; I don't fully remember it anymore). One of them is bass-heavy and muddy whereas the other is much more natural and only moderately bassy, with an overall warm and dark tonality (I've got the latter).

For $10, I would say the ATE is a solid/good buy and there is hardly any Western big-brand IEM with comparable tonal balance and resolution below $30. The consensus on the other bass-heavy version however is that it sounds muddy and is not enjoyable.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were even more iterations of the ATE, as some users I trust also reported about a v-shaped version of it.

is this the one? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Newest-upgraded-****-DT2-Plus-Dynamic-Balanced-Armature-IEMS-In-Ear-HIFI-Monitors-DJ-Stereo-Music/32751101024.html?spm=2114.30010308.8.40.HrvU8M

i'm a huge fan of the (dual driver) dt2--if the dt2 plus is better it'll be a game changer, esp. at that price.

To me the KZ ATE's only real saving grace is if you're after bass, it can handle a very silly amount of bass boost to the point of making it an entry level true basshead iem. Otherwise, there are other IEMs in that relative price range that I feel offer a higher quality sound, like the QKZ W1 Pro.

As far as the BA comment, I have to disagree given my appreciation for the level of detail a well made BA IEM can offer, like the Ety HF5. I do admit I'm a bigger fan of drivers, but there is certainly a place for BAs.

Anybody experience this one Bosshifi B3s, 


So any idea how they sound according to freqfrequencies graph. ..

I have Moondrop Nocturne single BA iem they extremely clean sounding iem with lots of micro details and lush vocals mid centric sound signature but they are pretty lacks on bass and and brightish nature.

Wow gonna keep my tabs on these. Might actually sound better than my LZ-A2s currently.

Is mmcx cable more durable or 2 pin cable more durable. I might buy a super dolphine

It must be a new model because the original looks like this:

For me the ATE sound very good. I prefer it over the ED9. We all perceive sound differently and have different tastes

Yes this is a new model and they contain a extra  "s" word,  BOSSHIFI B3S,  maybe it is a upgrade version of original B3.

Be careful with the 2-pin connection, over on the ROSE thread another member's Cappuccinos were soldered incorrectly. I'm not saying this is the same case with Super Audio but the risk is there.

Here is his case;

Anyone heard the HCK Wood grain 5BA unit yet? 5BA's for about 120 USD! It's insane and i wanna buy it.
A reviewer in aliexpress says it's mid-centric with rolled off lows and highs. Any comments/comparisons anyone, please?
Wonder if it's something like the heaven series phones. With 5 freaking BAs it better be!
