  Just cut out the metal wire in the ZS3 cable then if you don't want the bendy portion.

I wished I done that earlier, my metal wire is rusting
 

  Don't know but I doubt it, balanced cables are still a fairly niche segment.  I'm surprised KZ came out with removable cables in the first place at this price level!

 
To each his own but my only problem with KZ is the removable cables. I'm on my second set of ZS3 and experiencing poor connection on my left earbud. Otherwise very happy with the ZS3, much better and easier to drive than the ATR I have too.

Hey guys.
Can anyone suggest a KZ iem to replace my Xiaomi Hybrids (they aren't the Pro HD). Sadly my hybrids are wearing down from the wire. I was thinking about the KZ ATE or the KZ ZST.
The thing I like about my Xiaomi hybrids is the clearness and punchy bass. I like to listen to a lot of rap/hip-hop and occasionally some classical. Which of the two KZ, come close for my preference?

I thought the ATR is the successor of ATE. If that is the case then ATR is better right

What sounds better to you depends on your personal preferences, ear anatomy, source gear etc. ATR isn't "better", it's just different from ATE.

but why they named after the ate if it's different? They must be the same thing but little bit more improvements in kz atr.

+1 Yup! ....Some days I like the ATR's and other days I prefer to listen to the ATE's. Like 'crabdog' says -All about personal preference.

There was 1 revision of the black ones that was different ( the first one)  but nobody has reported getting a first revision iem in quite a long while.
So only if you happen to get the first revision

I'm looking for something with punchy bass and clarity, similar to the Xiaomi Hybrids (Gen 4). Would these be similar or better? If not, what other KZ IEMs are similar?

The ZST isnt your IEM. it's got good clarity but the bass is not punchy.. it's rumbly... maybe the HDS3? It doesnt have as much clarity but sounds pretty good in terms of bass response.

I'll look into it, thanks for the response.

Great!.....Can't wait to hear some of your comments on the Chinese IEM thread. Cheers!
