So jealous. Best basshead iem I ever experienced, though limited as my experiences are. A bit boomy, but.... So. Much. Beautiful. Bass. Ended up going through 3 pairs. 2 driver hybrid, 13mm DD + aperture for mids/highs.


They do have the Boom Boom 4 sure, these just sit in my archive drawer these days like museum pieces

Along with a couple MD players, Sports Walkman's and matching MDL 3L2 headphones! Really starting to give away my age now

While the hype is now on ZST, i just found a gem in the silver plated cable for ZS3.
 
wow, i love the 'upgrade' much, as the cable brings up the highs slightly which i find it somehow lacking in the original cable. 
To me this should be the perfect combination :D

Hi this is silver plated, and meant for the ZS3. That was the only cable available at the time of purchase.

Monitors, in-ear or speakers, should not color the sound at all.
This is a misconception that you have to buy headphones or speakers to match the music you listen too.
 
Monitors should be flat/banal and represent all frequencies equally, all else is done in the mix if the artist intends so.
The artists themselves mix on a flat studio monitors, so to perfectly recreate their art use flat monitors/speakers.

IMHO, I think 4in1 brings a high level of technical listening for very little money, and expands the sound experience for most of us. While KZ ATE is harder to nail down; it should be technically pretty crappy with splashy treble & slightly woolly bass. But once the music starts, nothing else matters except to listen & enjoy. It feels more analog than digital to me. Like an old stick-shift car or or pair of old worn sneakers; nothing special about them, but they somehow make you feel good.


Hi, so what do you think is better between **** 4in1 and KZ ATE? Your words starting from the IMHO are a little bit double sense :wink:

Hi guys,
within a few months I have accumulated several IEM including **** 4-in-1, KZ ED9, ED3, Xiaomi Hybrid (fantastic), VE Monk Plus, Qian25,but ATE for me is magical, a bridge of communication between the IEM and the speakers, incredible soundstage, although lacking detail on medium and high, takes second place.
I also tried Havi B3 pro but there is no story, I love ATE !
Am I crazy?
