Hi guys, so how's the ATE vs the ZST? what would u recommend to someone who likes mids and soundstage?


I can only speak about the ATE, my ZST is on order, but it has what I'd consider above average soundstage and good separation. I also very much appreciate the mids, particularly female vocals which sound very smooth and inviting.

The Bass extension isn't the best so some music tracks may sound a bit dry but the clarity is so nice that honestly I don't know if I'd trade it for a warmer or bassier sound. I guess I'll find out soon enough when I receive the ZS3 and ZST.

ZST in crystal color, with silver cables. note they are diff from the zs3 cable, these are angled. i know cos i ordered both. and the guy i bought from highlighted it.
 
let's give this another shot.
i i tried the add url option but it doesn't recognize it as a link to the image. not sure why.
either way, here are the links to close up of the new color.

Need some help. So I just got the ATR's and ZS3's (were on sale for 11/11 day on GearBest).

I keep hearing these are really bassy, but somehow I can't seem to get much bass from them, for reference, my bundled earphones which came with my Benjie K9 DAP have more bass ( they aren't meant to ).

I'm thinking it has something to do with the fit? I've swapped out the earbuds for the smaller ones and the bigger ones but the ones that come on them by default seem to fit me best. I still can't seem to hear much bass and I doubt they're defective as clarity is perfect . Any ideas? 
 
P.S : Also ran the earphones on my laptop to same results.

Could be that youre used to more bass. I myself am used to a small amount of bass but didnt find the ZS3 to be really bassy.

I am starting to think I've got a defected pair of ED12s... 
The mids and vocals "seem" more forward then Xiaomi's? Or are they blowing on your ears like they just came out of those icecream truck speakers? 
I loathe the ED12... they just remind me of a pair of fake Xiaomi pistons 3 I've been scammed with... the ED12 are not worthy of KZ rep... 
Or maybe mines are from a salvaged batch... I don't know... 


Did your ED12 box came shrink wrapped? My wasn't. My ZS3 came shrink wrapped. And yes, my ED12 is way too bassy and "boomsy". Mids is barely there and highs is almost non existant.
