The seal is ok just wanted to BI for a couple of days to see if i notice any change. Gonna try the Sony tips after the BI. Are yours without the gold pieces, etc.

yes.let them burn in for awhile and than take a listen if the sound fix.

Hi Folks,

I got what is seems to be the KZ ATES ATE ATR HD9 following a recommendation of the audiophiliac.  I am quite impressed.  I usually have comfort issues with IEM, but I found this one better on that.  And the sound is quite good.

Is https://kziems.aliexpress.com/store/1358152 a good source for the brand?  Do they have a web site?

Reading the thread... but it is a long one.

Thanks,
Walfredo

yes thats the official kz store iem.

Hi I am new to this brand and I was wondering what is its best IEM offering at ~25USD? ATE? ZS3? ZST?

can you give a suggestion about the sound signature you're prefer?

Well,ATEs are always $7.xx and upward....but yeah, adding another $2/3 to his $25 budget wld bring him all those 3 iems he mentioned.

Yeah, good catch on the ATE price, I was having in mind only the ATR. Edited my post accordingly.
 
But damn, thinking about it, what a leap it will be for KZ's flagship to jump from the current $15-20 value to $90 when the ZSR comes

  Let me know what you think of them compared to the Piston 3's. I want to upgrade from them too. 

Sure thing

that not kz ate but kz ates its little bassy heavy headphone. The kz ate housing should be transparent smoke like looking

if you want to buy another iem i suggested kz atr the latest AT line and have better sound than ate.

That's the ATE-S. It has memory wire, and the red thing and red grill.
KZ ATE doesn't have memory wire, and has metal grill.

Maybe you got an old batch. Maybe there's anyone here who bought an ATES recently, and can confirm.

I say it's an ATES, but with the red grill (like the KZ ZS3).
New or old, i don't know.

ZS3 have red grills hmmm. Anyone take off the red grills to to see if the treble is better?
