I've gotten all my KZ on ebay. The prices usually even out if i buy a couple.

are sure about that, cuz i never buy item through ebay. nope the amounts are still the same when convert to Malaysian currency.

Overdue opinion on this and in reply to @actorlife
 yes the ATR needs a bit of amping or a more powerful DAP. After switching from a Shanling M1 to my Fiio X1 II I find the bass is a bit more extended and defined, while soundstage also seems to become wider.

Not too sure if just increasing the volume will help. Because while I tried that for the M1 the sound signature was really flat and smooth so that may be why the improvement wasn't much.

The ATR goes fine on my X1 II at around 36-40/100.

ATR is better for general listening as the ZS3 bass is a bit bloaty even with starline tips. However I do miss ZS3's energy and slightly more defined mid to upper register as my ZS3 has QC problems (intermittent audio).

My daily is currently the Creative Aurvana In-Ear 3 as I got this dual-BA real cheap second hand, though bass is severely lacking. I have a Brainwavz B100 on the way and am not decided on whether to try the Mi Earphones Pro HD since I prefer overear designs.

However if you can save up longer, I think a good DD endgame that isn't too expensive (ahem Mee Pinnacle P1 or Campfire Lyra II) is the ATH-E40. If you can stomach the clunky design it's a pretty good versatile DD that is more dynamic and less bassy/one-trick-pony as the more popular ATH-IM70/LS70 range. I may get it too as I always worry about reliability of Chi-Fi...

Great overview i appreciate it. The ATR bass has gotten alot better still doing pink noise and music. I feel that the treble is a bit less. I read a review online and the guy said the same thing. That's ok though i like to try all sound sig. I have an Cowon x7 and Clip+ and seems to drive them good. Still BI the ED9 and improvements in bass no irritating highs. Much greater.

from which online stores?.

 

[zabunny94]

what are the prices? Btw i live in malaysia but i don't think its cheap in my country it cost rm40-78 at lazada.

Well, its really close to the wholesale price of alibaba, except you can buy it individually... Around $1-$2 difference

Zs3 is less than $10 here, any time
Zst is $12
Atr is $5 or $6 , I don't remember

Not really a big fan of lazada for chinese iem because local online marketplace like toped or BL usually has better price

ok no so much of differences between lazada price if convert to us currency but i have to buy with malaysian currency which hell of expensive i can only by one at the time. Although kz price in the us is cheap but in malaysia double 2x the price like for example for the price 1 usd = rm 4.40.

  My colorful ZST is all fine (both cables) but my ZS3 stock cable housing is loose on the right side, loose enough that the wire falls out with relatively low effort tugging e.g. just taking it out of my ear.  Using the silver cable is fine, so likely the wire housing on the stock cable was slightly off. I managed to get a small refund (the cost of a pair of stock cables) from the seller for this.
 
Still, for this price level, you have to expect some corners to be cut.  Thankfully sound quality isn't one of them!

Exactly.. This is the similar experience I've had.  Except I didn't even use the stock cable...

Aliexpress and gearbest are also cheap and are also best places to buy.....you pretty much get the packages delivered to your door in a very decent timeframe too,being ordered from malasia imo.

can you estimate for how long it will arrive. I think it will be long cuz the item from china, 30 days maybe in certain part of the country like European country, in my country it will took 1 week or less i think cuz it in asian region and the shipping was free too, i better stay with my own country online store.
