  I want to buy earphones with microphone for my smartphone. 
 
Give me proposals and links Including KZ and other earphones...  Price around 10 and less USD 
 
What about TUNA earphones?

Can't comment yet, mine are still on order.

Isn`t Tuna IEMs just a rebranded KZ with different cables/color and they have also included some other brands into bunch?
For me KZ is KZ and Tuna something else.

Hey guys, I just received my ATE without mic from GearBest. I'm just wondering if my unit is legit because the font on body is a little bit different. The L and R are also very hard to read like printed very poorly. The packaging and the cable look okay to me. I also noticed the sound is a little bit bassier than I expected. I never tried KZ phones before, just want to keep it as a backup to my GR07 MKII. So maybe it is bassier than I normally used to. 

 

They are legit and as a back up to the hard to read L & R KZ was kind enough to put a red ring and a blue ring on the brass barrel where the cable is secured to the shells for the price the ATE is a very good all around iem but fir me they excel in vocals Enjoy and they will tighten up very nice after 40-50 hours.

Enjoy

Also, use ATE with wide-bore silicone tips instead stock foam tips. To increase bass & percussion tightness and kick - make port holes smaller or over-lap with some tiny piece of almost "air-proof" material. To get slightly more micro details and highs - remove nozzle grill. For slightly better imaging/soundstage and airiness make them open-back.

I love my ATE's but I keep wondering how they compare to Shure E215. Or is it in a whole different league altogether which leads me to the question: should I upgrade?

The ATE's are good but they are not the SE215, I find the Shure's to be more refined and smoother sounding then the ATE's but then again you are talking minimum 5 times less coin layout as well

Excuse those knarly tips

Thanks for the comparison! I do love the ATE's but I am missing some details indeed. Still a good deal of course. I guess I'll be upgrading in the near future. Some nice cases you got there by the way.

THX, the Shure case came with them and the other one is the KZ case that AliEx has for about $0.89 each

 
Yikes, they went up $0.17

Thanks for the link! I guess you bought them during the AliEx sale? That's when I bought my ATE's. Ah well I might buy those cases anyway.

I owned a KZ ED10 one. Out of the box, It feels like a lot of bass. But after 100hours of burn-in, im very suprise that the bass is almost different, i don't see alot of bass anymore, sound is more clear now. Anyone here have the same experience with me
/sorry for the bad english

Not sure if QKZ DM3 have been discussed here yet but after receiving a message on AE from KZ store I had a look. Was very surprised to see this in the description:
 

1. amazing sound quality
2. kill $400 level earphone

 
Only $6.99! That's quite a claim considering the price point. Has anyone tried these yet?

Got to say I like the look of that cable too.

Haha... that page has a screenshot image of review section of some other product xD Quite legit lol
IMO a lame publicity attempt by the seller.

I wish there's one that has ED9's sound in ATE's form. The ATE just looks so much more comfortable, but I want the bright and detailed sound of the ED9.

Indeed. I wish they would bring out more IEMs with ATE's form factor. And they should get rid of the comic sans markings.

I don't want to say some of the Chinese sellers suffer from delusions of grandeur but........................................

I will say some have come darn close to spanking some $60-$70 iem's IMHO

 
Don't know you Duo8 but you are spot on about the ED9 sound

OK, I'll admit I'm jaded on the ED9

 
Sylmar, a buck 6 is still not a bad price for that case

Hey podster have you tried monoprice 8320 (preferably the white ones) already? They are just a tad better than ed9 with a bit more refined sound, bit less highs and that at a kz price of just $7
