Are kz zst are good in edm music?

I like their presentation of EDM. They have good deep and taught bass but they aren't for bassheads.
It's all subjective to the listener of course, but the way they are tuned is to bring out the fun in music listening while trying to cater to a broad spectrum of tastes.

All I know is I like their sound with my sources and go back to them over headphones and IEMs I've bought costing from double to ten times the price.

I have received my KZ ZS3 (mic) from Gearbest. Boy oh boy I'm having a hard time getting a good fit in my ear. It's consistently falling out. 
 
Just out of curiosity, is there any difference in sound quality between the mic and non-mic versions? The sound quality is just like my Panasonic earphones that I got from Amazon. I expected something a bit better - at least a little bit more bass.

possible reverse pin connections........see that L and R marks of the cable matches the left and right on the earpieces.

Yes they match.

  Yes they match.

That happened to me. I have to use memory foam tips. Like Comply.

You haven't got a seal in the ear, when you have the ZS3 are on the bassy side. If they're falling out then something is wrong, is the cable over your ear?

I'm with Vidal on this one and of course you have already mentioned them falling out so you are not getting a good seal. I'd tip roll until I found a good sealing pair. Over ear with the KZ silver plate worked best for me with Auvio's once I cut that stupid ear guide/protector off, man are those things annoying

Managed to get a better seal by switching the ear buds. Still no bass. Did I receive a dud pair? I presume Gearbest is a reliable source for the earphones, right?

If both lack bass then they're not faulty, you just still haven't got a seal in the ear canal yet. If one on it's own was lacking bass then it might be a fault but to get two is too much of a coincidence. 
 
There mustn't be any gap between the eartip and the ear-canal wall, even a slight one will kill the bass.
 
Gearbest are spot on for KZ stuff

Does the wire matter (mic v no mic)?

 

[SomeTechNoob]

No

That probably was a joke, but in the case it wasn't: the whole purpose of listening to sound to your brain is to have a true objectively best audio experience, so there would probably only be identical technologies by different brands that sound objectively the best in everyone's perspective. If it didn't, it would defeat that purpose.

If you have't already tried this, I recommend swapping to the largest size tip and working your way down from there to something that provides the best combination of sound and comfort. I generally use medium sized tips but with shallow fit earphones like the ZS3 often find myself moving up to large tips to get a proper seal. No bass is almost always a seal issue so if you're still not getting anything out of them after trying various tips sizes, they could possibly be a dud. Maybe have someone else try them too, just to get a second opinion.
 
Gearbest is legit. *thumbs up*

For the ZK ATE, it helps a lot to pass the cables over the ears.
