I haven't followed this thread in a very long time since August - which are the best KZ right now? 
I have Ed9 , ATE , ED10. I really enjoy the ED9 sound - the ED10 is to bassy for me. I enjoy the ATE as well but I think ED9 sounds better.
 
Thanks!

Current new gen best crop is ZN1 mini, EDR2, HDS1, ZS1.

If you like ATE then you may like ZN1 mini for its warm sound and big soundstage.
HDS1 would be spiritual successor of ED9 with brass nozzle.
Similarly EDR2 would go well with those loving gold nozzle on ED9.
ED10 lovers, ZS1 is your next buy.

What's the difference between ATE and ATES apart the memory cable?
I would try the ZS2 but it looks it's as super bassy as ZS1 reading the comment in Aliexpress, I hoped they were like Z1N with a wide soundstage

Guys, got a word from KZ official shop. ZS2 are just aesthetically different from ZS1. Drivers are similar to ZS1.

That's disappointing. Glad I passed. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for the info bro.
So back to ATE-S or W1 Pro choice.
Why on earth they didn't do a Z1N ampless (with mic)?
Any new model incoming from them?

Thanks! Would you say ZN1 mini has the deepest/widest soundstage out of all kz?

I have the HDS1 and do not feel they are that similar to (my favorite) ED9 brass...HDS1 is fairly neutral as KZ's go IMO and I find the ED9 brass having more detail and overall treble energy. The HDS1 for me can sound a bit flat coming from a ED9. I have the EDSE and the EDR2 and am still going back and forth but may prefer the EDSE which is lively and musical. The EDR2 can get a little ragged for me in the treble but I am still comparing the two and the EDR2 is relatively new with only a couple days burn-in. I actually prefer the ED3c over the EDR2 or EDSE. I couldn't get a correct fit with the ZS1 so I'm not able to use them. I have the ATE and it seems smooth and dark with rolled of highs but I keep it because it's musical and warm.
This is coming from my Beresford Capella amp, Bushmaster MKII DAC, Samsung Blu-ray player and Audio Art cables while listening to CD's and most importantly these are my own personal opinions.

I don't know about Cad or Eisen but I sure do. There is no doubt in anyones mind here that ED9 is my altime favorite KZ but both the ZN1 Mini and HDS1 have a better/wider soundstage to me. The to me may not be to you but I tell it like I hear it

I finally broke down and have an ACME (the Perfectiins are no slouch either), EDR2 and ED4 (I think! Is that bad or what) ordered All that means is the test of my KZ crew could be in jeopardy as far as positiin in my lineup

I've actually gotten several props for using both the supplied clips in this manner, the ZN1 is a great headphone if your just sitting back in your easy chair and they stay put if your fetchin' a cold one

Kids, what do they know

Except maybe to make some smart-elic remark about some old guy

LOL
 
Of course right this minute I'm listening to a hole notha animal!!

 
Pardon my ignorance here, but what is that setup with iPod shuffle, pretty much curious to know

seen another such image by you earlier in this thread too

My apologies db, it is a Shuffle connected (velcro'd) to a Brainwavz AP001 dual headphone out amp driving the wonderful FLC 8s multi filtered/tunable iem's. Exceptionally small with outstanding sound
