Btw the KZ ED9s are back on Amazon/Amazon Prime atm with limited quantities. I made sure I snagged a pair first lol. So if you don't want to wait a month or 2, this is your chance.

I can't decide what to buy between ED10 and ATE, I primarily listens to Pop and Vocal. Some guys here said that the ATE is Detailed and smooth, but I don't know if the ED10 could compare to ATE ?


I've never heard the ED10's but I find my ATE's to be really smooth and with great details. I recently compared them with my Sony MH1c's and I said then that I find the base to be a bit flat but I played around with the equalizer and now the base and the whole sound signature is close to the Sony MH1c but I find ATE's to be slightly better in their sound stage and details. The one thing that some people may consider as a drawback is the design of this particular iem which by some people is considered to be uncomfortable.

Noob here. Ordered ED10, ED9 and ATE yesterday via AliExpress. The ED10 and ED9 have been shipped already. Fingers crossed now for China Post to deliver!
 
I currently own a Vsonic VSD1 and Brainwavz S1. If any of you guys have tried those, could you tell if any of the KZs have a sound signature that is similar to either of those?

Nice decision. My ED10 are on the way while I own ED9, ATE. You'll love the fact that all three have different sound signatures (not heard ED10 personally yet, but an opinion from reviews).

Thanks, I hope so too! They were all around or below $10, so it wasn't a hard decision at all. The ATE has also been shipped now. Let's see which of the 3 I get first.

I hope everyone here realizes ED10 has small and large tips that are black and different from the blue default wide bore tips that it originally comes with. The small and large tips have narrow bore tips and doesn't help the true potential and soundstage the ED10's dish out.
 
Here are some picks....
 


 
......So, I suggest you do yourself a favor and get all 3 different size blue sets here.

I ordered extra ones myself and my friend that bought the ED10's benefited from the large blue ones. He claims the medium one's don't give him a complete seal. So, I really suggest if you have to go one size either way, buy the default blue ones in small, or large. You won't regret it!

I use Comply T400 on all my KZ headphones and never have to worry about the seal.

I use foam tips, is more comfortable than silicone eartips, How about your eartips, could have a better sound effect or other performance? Does there any good headphone accessories/earpads suggestion.

The foam tips bring out a bit more bass in general and on ED9 with brass nozzles they tame the high a bit if you are sensitive to high... With ED10 you will need the cylindrical ones to reach deeper in the ear.

Do any KZ IEMs fit these requirements:
 
1.  Has volume control
2.  Best for EDM and Pop
3.  At least as much bass as Piston 2
