I've had my version, Test CD2 for years, it came with a Stereophile subscription but you can get them on ebay. Nice to have on hand.

Thank you. Probably need to subscribe in any event. Any recommendations decent mobile audio magazine? Thanks again

Can anyone recommend a KZ for listening to contemporary hip hop?
 
 
Would the Rock Zircon be worth considering as well?

I still reckon you should pick up some REAL EPH100s, just to see what all the fuss is about.

I completely agree

Edit: I do love my replicas though. They have an amazing sound stage and with a minor eq boost, very addictive bass.

Don't know if this is the best place to post this question but I want to try the JVC Spiral Dot tips and usually use small tips but have used medium also.
Does anyone know if they run small (or big) and if I should go with small or order small\medium? They have that SM option in between small and medium...

 
 
any help?

They run in S, MS (Medium-Small, M, ML (Medium-Large) and Large. They run on the smaller side. For example I ordered S and MS and the S were actually too small for my ears.

  Ok, I have my eye set on one last KZ (Hard to say really they're all poison).
 
HDS1 or EDSE?

HDS1 FTW

 

[Hisoundfi]

Those PS Vita ripoffs have been around for a while. Think someone here has tried them..

About that HDS2... Do we know if those are legit? They are only sold by this seller marked as "KKZ" and are not on taobao and not sold directly by KZ.

I haven't heard yet. I'm gna hold off until I see a legit KZ seller with them listed.

+1

EDSE is good but HDS1 is probably the best KZ to date imho

I have HDS2 on the way, a couple places had them on sale on 11/11. I bought from here: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/1246446
 
But I have nooooo idea which store(s) on Ali is the official KZ one so... will have to wait and see I guess.

Looks like they used the Yamaha EPH-100 shells.

Yeah I think thats why no-ones sure if they're 'true' KZ, since KZ tend to go for pretty unique designs.

hmm, I think KZ still has some earphone designs that are quite clearly based on other earphones. The most apparent one for me is the DT3, which looks a lot like the Fischer Audio Consonance. Some people said the ATE resembles the IM-70, the ED10's shape is like the KC06, and the ANV looks like the CKM1000.
I'd still wait for Horton's confirmation though

I also use both small and medium tips usually and I tend to use both with the Spiral dots as well (with different IEM's). Not really helpful maybe but at least this is the way they work for me

I saw it listed in this store - www.aliexpress.com/store/1358152

Correct me if I'm wrong...Isn't this the legit seller on AE?

I own ED10 and KCO6A, I'd argue they're quite different. Can't deny similarities of the others though. 
 
Either way, to me it looks like someone is taking advantage of being able to get a bunch of those shells, KZ or not. And also either way, I like tip-mounted micro-drivers

 so I'm looking forward to seeing how they do.
