That's my experience with all 4 pairs (all the silver launch model); mostly flat/neutral dark sound. 

Mine are black and I would say they are bassy...they are also dark sounding with rolled of highs. I wouldn't say mine are flat sounding. I wonder if somehow the silver and black sound a bit different? I think another member said they did sound different, either way I hope the ATE-S is an improvement but I do like the standard ATE and will be keeping them.

It got "lost" and right after the refund has been issued, I received it. Slap dash services. 
The KZ ED10.

ED3c doesn't exist, it's a misspell by a seller. It's called ED3 Youth Version.

Okay. The ED10 is the worst KZ I think in the current line up at the moment.
Right off the bat I'm hearing sibilance like I've never heard before in a IEM (Except for the 4$ rubbish cheapie plextone calls the X37M I bought as a sacrifical IEM after learning my lesson losing my HD660 due to stupidity. But the doboly is even cheaper lol.)
 
I'm hearing sloppy and splashy treble. No burn in and it sounds like that, it's going to the storage box.
 
Lastly, amazingly the EDR1 sounds better. The ED10 is unfortunately, form over function.

  ED3c is the youth version lol.

Isn't there just the Perfection & Acme versions? The original Perfection version in silver and the newer Acme in various colors?
I ordered the ED3 Acme silver and it came in the Perfection silver...a bit confusing.

Mine certainly do. The original Silver ones I have are BASS HEAVY as hell, the CLEAR (smoky Black) aren't as much.
 
Both of mine are Modded mind you with venting holes drilled in the Body and the COPPER "cap" removed from the driver. Maybe this is why.
 

TWIN

The first "Acme" is the ED3 youth. The one with various colors. More colors than the pink floyd.
 
The new ED3 Acme Silver is the S3. If you got a Perfection then it's wrong

  I still don't see why people talk about ATE being bass-heavier... or I just got a defect (fake?) one?
to me they almost sound flat.

to me, they aren't bass-heavy too, but rather, the highs is just a bit softer while mids and lows are flat.

Original ED3 says Perfection at the sides of the housing. It's only in silver.
Youth version ED3c says The Acme at the sides. It's available in red and blue.
Not too sure, but I think the ED S3 says The Acme too. Silver again I think.

Tell me how it sounds! Thinking of buying the ATE-S. Because it's over the ear the ATE keeps slipping off me ear without memory wire or the hook which annoys me

I guess we are all different, mine all seem to stay on better with just the cable around my ear

The biggest downfall for me with the ZS1's are the permanent and annoying memory wire

 
While I'm in the KZ thread really enjoying this little $65 rig

Yep, I find the orignal ATE over the ear to be very comfortable and the little brass dangle seem to help. As for the Zs1's their down fall is (for me) the memory wire, it was a huge disappointment. So what it that magic little rig? Nice form factor ( something I really like about the X2)
