  A typical delivery for me is 4 to 6 weeks, and sometimes more.

 
My delivery time - China to US, has ranged from 2.5 weeks up to 5 weeks - over holiday season. If over 5 weeks something is wrong.

For me it's been 4-6 weeks, in India.

  Kz Flashship store is really slow about shipping. They gave me a track number but there is no chance to watch. It does not work and it's almost 3. day. Guy's you should know when can I watch it. what about your experience.

Takes at least 5 days to get active. Don't worry, happened in all 5 purchases I made in KZ flagship.

Ok, I got thinking after the comments about cassette players and dug out some old tapes and played them through my Aiwa. I also plugged in my KZ DT3s' into the PX287. I tell you what it does not sound that bad, I thought it would blow but apart from the little hiss you normally get when the music kicked it it was not half bad and through the DT3 also!

I got my order of ED3 (ES were out of stock), EDSE and GR in 18 days. Almost 3 weeks, but it's from China so pretty good time, I went with China post and had tracking.

Now for the sound:
GR- My red filters didn't have holes in them. Sound was kind of harsh and overall pretty disappointing. These look neat and subtle though.
EDSE- These are overhyped. But they do sound good and they're pretty forward. Little bland on some music I know should sparkle and sound fantastic. Bass is surprisingly not as strong as I was expecting. Has a sound signature you could listen to for a long time.
ED3- I actually like this more than the EDSE, but it is quite bright and fatiguing. Does have a penchant to be detailed which I like. Doesn't have as much as bass as I usually like.

Other:
3 Cardboard boxes packed in a bigger box instead of a packet= Sturdy and I'm pleased.
Tips are pretty rubbish and even the smalls don't fit me right but hey I got a full set for each of them.
A song I recommend for EDSE- Alina Baraz & Galmatias "Fantasy".
These are pretty heavy, tough, and won't be good to sleep in. They look nice. ED3 and GR look better than the EDSE imho.
Cables are a bit sticky but they seem pretty high-quality.

Conclusion:
I paid $17 (coupons) and while these aren't a STEAL, I like them.

Lucky the ES is out of stock. It's not one of the better KZ's.
 
EDSE over-hyped? I think it's definitely worth the $7!

EDSE is worth the hype, who'd expect such great SQ for $7 haha
For me they are the best ones among I have, for certain kind of music (Mostly EDM/KPOP). My friends also seem to be a lot impressed by SQ of EDSE.

  I have received KZ ED8. It is the best KZ model. Even better than KZ Micro with good Comply Tips. It sounds like more accurate, detailed DT3 with great, fast bass and wonderful highs. 

Awesome!!! Saves my money because soon I was about to get a micro ring for $16.
Still at least one more week for my first ED8 to reach to me...
