Still nothing on KZ taobao/tmall store. Not sure where the other poster is getting the info from...do they really have an official QQ account?

Anyway, let's just wait til an actual link to the product page is available.

Selling my KZ ZST w/ official silver cable (Sydney Australia)

Ends up preferring the sound of ZS3 (like many others )

Is it actually worth the time selling IEMs which you can buy new for $16 usd though haha

If you're looking for a new pair of IEM's and don't have many, the IE7 are the right pair for you!

It took nine days for them to arrive with China Post Registered Air Mail, wowee! They even came with a Canadian tracking number. I don't know how this is all possible for $9.98? Before the price raised to $13.98.

Out of the box, they sound burned in and musical (Studio-like as advertised) with a lot/bit of treble, not too harsh but maybe not good for long listening sessions. They probably come with quality components, the plug is top notch and well made, and is not like any other KZ headphones I have. It is probably a high-end plug they used to use.

The blue cable is super good "medium" quality, but it's pretty short, so it's meant for connecting to a smaller music player/that is in a pocket in front of you.

The IEM case crackles under pressure, this is really weird. I've never seen this before. Cheap plastic. These headphones won't last forever.

The weak part of the cable are the wires connected to the ear pieces from the Y connector. If they ever break, they do so via the ear piece wire while be placed into your ear.

I can also see people having fit problems, as they only came with one pair of tips and they feel like they'll come out easily.

Yaoyaotiger HIFI Audio Store is simply amazing! Nine days to Canada!

Are the gold cable weights on the kz ate removeable ? I find it really annoying when walking around with them.

I bought the KZ ATR instead of the ATE should I have done the opposite?

Both are decent for the price. You should be fine.

I just wanted to add KZ makes the best nozzles in the world!
It's amazing how many manufacturers choose to make earphones with too short\too fat\too skinny nozzles while KZ just makes perfect LONG nozzles which aren't too thin and work with many kinds types of tips.

Based on my exp with ATR and ZS3.

I thought they were OK, they lack a bit of sharpness, soundstage and clarity but fairly balanced overall.
