Although the KZ offerings are great for their typically $10 price I found the E80's to easily outperform all of the KZ offerings I've tried so far.

They'll have a lot less midbass than the Pistons though but subbass extension is very good as well as the overall bass quality.

If you're in the US and can pick them up for $50 I'd say it's a no brainer. I paid $70 for my pair and still consider them excellent value .

You post this on the KZ thread... blasphemy!!!

You should really add to your collection the latest top 3 KZ's, which includes the latest ED10. They have unique signatures and can weigh-in against the competition.

Lol, yeah I'm crazy

I already own the ATE and ED9.

I certainly don't think that KZ are bad , they're probably the best value one could get for really cheap but I'm crazy enough to think that better IEM's does exist and that you don't have to pay a fortune to get them

Peter, I found the E80's on Ali for $68 but ONLY available in Red from Seller. If you want Gray or Gold-ish they are $85 from different sellers. The Reds are on Ebay for $75. Not available on Amazon Yet.
 
Before I spend THAT much on earphones, (I'm spoiled by KZ prices), I will wait for My Trinity Deltas and My Flare Audio R2As to get here. Which I'm assuming are a HUGE step up from KZ's or Soundmagics.

Good to hear!
 
Can you give us some more details on the differences between each set -bass, mids, highs and soundstage? And what does the E80 outshine the ATE's and the KD9 on?
 
Some picks would be really nice......

 
Finally, are you planning to get the ED10's? I would really love to see this comparison.

Not at the moment, I'm on holiday for the next three weeks and only brought the ckr10, e80 and vsd2s

Tbh the ED9 is the only KZ IEM that I feel belong in the $50-100 tier. That still doesn't mean that I don't appreciate some of the others and consider them amazing value at their (usually) $10 price.

Meh? Really? M`kay... I contrary find ATE and ANV SQ better in many aspects than ED9 

 Well... apples & oranges, nothing wrong with different opinions

Yep I agree. Different strokes for different folks. That's part of what makes this hobby so interesting

Probably the ED10, has quite a bit of detailed bass.

Is hard to say.....all 3 play electronic music really well. But, If your only buying one, I would pick ED9 only because it provides 2 different tunable sound signatures.
 
Heck, just buy all three.....that's what most of us did here.

+1 AFAIK ALL the KZ's do Electronic music quite well. They have a lot of available Bass in their EQs.

My girlfriend created a faceplate for her KZ ATE using nail stickers.  Wasn't it a good idea?

Wow! She probably just created the ever first in-ear designer earrings! That looks really unique!
 
.....You better get that patented, while you got a chance!
