  The ED8m is getting some pretty good reviews in China. They also seem to come with those nicer "hurricane spiral" tips.

 
Cool. What I want to hear! I have the two sets on the way. But tracking # still not showing up yet on China Post tracking

Oh they definitely are bass heavy by my standards.
To give you an idea of what my ears think sounds good, I really enjoy the way my Superlux HD668B sound and lots of people say they are too bright for them. 
This is the EQ on my audio only Samsung Galaxy S with Voodoo Sound. 
  
I ordered them HERE

I plugged them into my burn in station and ill give them 36 more hours of burn in and then i will report back. If i dont forget.

Nice news. Still my ED8 tracking number isn't showing up :/
I think I've seen those 'Spiral Hurricane' tips somewhere... right! Those come with TTPODs. But I didn't like 'em, their material was kinda stiff.

Yeah they call them whirlwind and are stiffer.....totally worthless.

 

[Shawn71]

Huh....I don't really see the resemblance, but I'll take your word for it

Yeah the logos are different......no resemblance.

I'm glad you see the lack of resemblance too lmao

 

[Shawn71]

I'm glad you see the lack of resemblance too lmao

btw,it was actually senn's,then AE cloned 100%, then havi copied the shells leaving behind the variable bass tuning port,RC and added glossy faceplate, now its cloned as a whole again w/ kz logo by KZ.....

So, I'm beginning to think that every KZ product is a ripoff (as far as the visuals go). I found the base for LPS. It's V-moda LP

I wonder how diffrent they are in terms of audio representation.

I disagree. They have dozens of models and only a handful of the KZ branded IEM's and headphones are dead ringer - lookalikes. I hope going forward KZ doesn't put their logo on obvious clones. It degrades the brand. Not that many take KZ as a brand seriously

So I just received the R3, ED3 and DT3 and they are very beautiful. The construction on the ED3 reminds me quite a lot of the ES, but they're both beautiful in their own ways. Now I just have to listen. I really love KZ a little too much
 
EDIT: Holy crap, you guys were NOT kidding about the magnificence of the DT3s sound. I'm amazed. The R3 is also surprisingly incredible as far as SQ goes, not to mention the build quality and detachable cable. The ED3 is also very good, just par for the course at this point with KZ.
