What I'm wondering, is why the zs3 is packaged so soberly. It's being sold at$20 but the ate and ed9 are packaged much more luxury. Without all that plastic it's of course better for the environment

About KZ HDSE, I can confirm that the music playback time is 3 hours starting from fully charged till low battery warning. and It take 1 hour to regain fully charged. This experiment is based on smartphone Bluetooth v4.0, non-stop playing FLAC 192kHz/24bit files at maximum bluetooth volume.

About the new 2-pin KZ upgraded SPC cable, Did anyone purchase? I look forward to your impression.

When did you order? And what region?

Canadian here, ordered mine on August 15th, got an email from seller saying that I should wait 1-2 more weeks.


I ordered a bunch of stuff from AE on August 11th and the last package arrived yesterday. I'm in Windsor.

I ordered a KZ ATE from Gearbest at the same time and am still waiting on it. I'm going to avoid Gearbest in the future and go with Ali.

This is wrong place for W1PRO - it is not KZ. QKZ rebrands many other IEM`s and sells them under QKZ brand to "steal" some clients from KZ.

Heck yes, but not right away. Probably in late October. Will likely scoop up their HDSE Bluetooth model at the same time.


Mine are on their way with the upgrade silver plated cable

I'm in the same boat. Ali takes about a month to Toronto and I'm still waiting for Gearbest after more than 36 days. I'll order the KZ stuff on Ali from now on.

All KZ products seemed to be now package in a standardized box format. The awkard triangular plastic box of ATE is also now changed to the same packaging as ZS3 and ATE(S).
Firstly the 'new' packaging is more compact and is good for those buying in bulk as they will take up less volumetric weight theoratically and as you say more enviroment friendly though i doubt that's what they were actually think about. 
More like economies of scale since you make everything the same except the prints.
