Hi
Do you say they have better bass than Zirgons??
tnx

Haven't tried the Zircons. Bass is excellent, but they're a more neutral sounding earphone. The Zircon should be a very different animal.

Regarding the "new'' kid n the block EDR2 ...hmmm the same sticky cable the same jack.. the same ...the same even HDS3 got a brush over. What is happening with the KZ people I wonder. I cannot believe that they do not read this site.

I'm fine with it. Keeps costs down using the same materials over and over. I'm fine with that. If the quality of the cable and Jack, etc. were crap, then I'd have a problem.

I also don't get the brown transparent cable hate so much honestly.. It *is* pretty springy, but apart from that I have no gripes with it. Maybe my experience is better due to me just using ATE, I don't know. I find the soft rubber coating really nice to the touch (and behind the ear too) and I think it looks great. It doesn't seem to have a bad memory effect either? I'm actually slightly worried about the thick cable on the ZN1 Mini that's on its way over, that I may find it less comfy or that it won't wrap over the ear as easily (or have more of a problem staying put).

Yes! KZ's cable are good. Some are sticky, and others are springy, but in general they are quality cables. I still think the cable on the EDSE is the best cable on any KZ to date. It looks like other KZ cables, but it's not sticky and doesn't hold memory at all. It's fantastic. I wish they would put that cable on all KZs to be honest.

EISENbricher Just wait till you try the EDR2. It is stellar!

Yup, it's on my list, might get one soon.

+1. Couldn't agree more. ATE,HDS1+3 ZN1 and ROCK ZIRGONS are my current rotation in totally random order. ED11 I could happily have lived without. ED9 has lost its rotation. Too much fiddling around and modding perhaps?  My fingers just hover past it in the mornings. I tend to trust them. Never subscribed to the hype anyways.

KZ people read this, example is ZN1 mini. People demanded to release ZN1 without amp box and they released it!

Imo though, I like KZ cables. Yep some may be sticky but they do last.

I have other costlier earphones like Sennheisers, Havi B3, Zero audio whose cables are deteriorated and may be unusable soon. While my first ever KZ purchase (EDSE) which is about equal age as of them, has cable which still looks and feels like new.

This. That cable is brilliant IMO. When I ordered others and saw that the cable looked similar, I thought that was great. The sticky one is a lot more microphonic and generally annoying, unfortunately..

I'd say HDS1 and ZN1mini are among best KZ made till date (along with ED9 and ATE, in my opinion).

Ok, seems You convinced me into getting ZN1mini also (after getting HDS1)...  -.-

Not only the cables, also the connectors and in-ear bodies are quality products. I know many IEMs from the "big" companies up to $150 that don't reach KZ's cable and build quality.

What!? I'm innocent. Just an innocent baby lamb 0_0 I've done nothing....

  Hi guys. I'm looking for a replacement for my beloved TTPOD T1-E, with similar specs, but with better mids, controlled trebles and good fit. Which KZ do you suggest me? Any reputable seller? Thanks

I'd recommend this store, it's the KZs own store : http://www.aliexpress.com/store/1358152?spm=2114.10010108.0.89.9RP2UF
 
BTW coming from TTPOD T1E, look out for
 
ZN1mini : http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/KZ-Psychic-ZN1-Smart-Tunable-Dual-Driver-In-ear-Headphones-with-Built-in-Amplifier-and-Microphone/1358152_32444083695.html
 
and 
 
ED9 : http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/KZ-ED9-Super-Bowl-Tuning-Nozzles-T-Shaped-Driver-Monitoring-In-Ear-Headphones-HiFi-Earphone-With/1358152_32372852938.html
 
Both of these improve on T1E's mids. ZN1mini has bigger soundstage while ED9 offers you versatility by providing 2 sound signatures. ED9's highs resemble with T1Es. 
 
Go for ZN1mini if you prefer smoother sound signature and ED9 if you want crisper sound.

Thanks a lot sir. Difficult decision... I hate sibilances and i prefer good mids and bass over crisper trebles. I'm intrigued about 2 sound signatures of ED9. Any does it have micro?
