oh? I didn't see that in the rules... I'll edit my post, so edit the quote.

Isn't weird for all of you the price differences among sellers? I'm tempted to follow the hype (and I need a cx300i replacement) but, are they really as good as many of you mentioned? Better than what? Why don't you guys write a list of headphones you've tried before?

The humble $9 KZ ED Special Edition would mercilessly crush the CX300-ii in every criteria. You can only imagine what sets that cost over $30 in Chinese budget-fi land will offer, although diminishing returns still apply. For instance, the $36 TTPod T1E doesn't sound twice as good as the KZ ED Special Edition. In some instances, people even liked my EDSE with my custom EQ settings better than the T1E, also with custom EQ settings (although honestly I'm still figuring out which settings maximize the T1E while my EDSE can easily use my SHE3580's EQ settings and immediately sound like a beast due to their similarities).

My set is the g k.gr.  Here is the link:  http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6277712355.html

I'm going to try burn-in. But, my hopes are not very high.  Not sure about your second question.

I just bought this one http://m.aliexpress.com/item/1987107500.html?tracelog=storedetail2mobilesitedetail

I don't know if these are similar to mine http://m.aliexpress.com/item/1987291707.html?tracelog=storedetail2mobilesitedetail

Also ordered the gr cm9

I'm not looking for a replacement in terms of sound newbie, size is the concern. 
It makes no sense saying how good kz is without comparing them to what you actually own, not what others write.

I had the cx215 and I would say the kz es will beat it by 100 miles

I burn in my cx maybe 100-150 hours

But never tried the cx300

That's a better answer. I'm a miserable greedy man: I went for the cheapest kz-r1 black option

What? You don't make sense. I wouldn't write that comment if I didn't own a CX300 in the first place.

I used to own the CX-300 long, long ago. It's been over half a decade since they broke. I can say without hesitation that the KZ EDSE are far better than them.

Haha the kz es is better at everything compare to the cx215 imo

After thinking about it the cx215 was a big disappointment

Congrats bro! Good to know.

@SymphonyX7 - Could you kindly share your EQ setting for KZ EDSE  (or SHE3580) ?
 
TIA

I have bought them. Seller said, that the images are from "pole tone version", not from ordinary DT5. They are really dual dynamic?
