Here's a tip for tracking - China Post. The AliEpress gives a poor tracking service, bad translation from the link - "China Post Air Mail Website." 
This is the best tracker to use - provides meaningful translation:

My ED Special Edition just arrived 15 minutes ago, and I'm blown away by how detailed/revealing the SQ is! I'll have to do an AB test with the DT3, but I can tell that the EDSE is far superior to my copy of the ES.  Build is similar to the ES - heavy plug of metal, same brown cable, and L connector - 3.5mm jack. The rear has mesh instead of the holes found on the ES.The EDSE took 5 weeks to arrive - due to the holiday season I reckon. 
 
The EDSE is further proof that KZ offers great value. My ED 8M tracking is progressing! 
 
Still less than USD$7! http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6379149428.html?orderId=64877373413062

That is a snapshot Ira :), "This is a snapshot of the product taken when the order was placed,the product may have been edited.

Thank you, this tracking says more but they still are in Beijing.

Hi guy!
I was looking for some good earphones under $40 and these ones got my attention:

Anyone know the differences between KZ ED8 and KZ ED8M?
In the product details i see that the sensitivity of KD ED8 is 105DB and KZ ED8m is 108DB.
KDED8 has a frequency range of 18-25khz and KZEDO8M has 5-25khz.
But anyone know if there is a difference in sound quality and style?

  The EDSE seem to garner pretty good review here and it's not bad BUT the new ED 8m simply blows it out of the water. I was afraid the housing might be a little heavy but it has stayed in my ears the whole time and provides a good seal. I am not an audiophile, but a value hunter and this is my new favorite all rounder. 


Wow, so the ED8 is another winner. Picture me unsurprised at this point! Hey cowculator, any pictures you could share with us please? :)

The M=microphone. Also, the general rule is to not pay over $10 for any KZ IEM. The only exception is the Micro Ring which is being phased out and price is higher.

apologies for the poor image. sh**ty photographer with a mediocre iphone 6+ camera.

They are quite heavy and I feel the strain relief on the cables are not ideal. The stock tips work for me but they have a pair of blue double flange and some regular black ones in various sizes.

Haven't had a real chance to listen to them carefully but off the box, the sound is really good, at least I felt more so that the EDSE I got in the same order.. Bass is there when you need it. Lows and mids are pretty ideal. Highs not so much. Good fun IEM for the price. They are not analytical nor overly detailed, I dun think.

Good seal for me personally and they dun fall off. I fear it is not meant for long use though, it is heavy.

I will let others do the reviewing, it is not my domain to voice it. My uses mainly for movies, audiobooks and taking calls. I got the mic version, voice is clear, press one to pause songs, 2 to go back. I seem to be missing the forward button though.

What are you apologizing for, man? Those are some sweet shots! I'm really hyped about these now, even though I already have virtually all other KZ IEMs, this will make a fine addition to my collection. Thanks for that, cowculator.

Okay so after reading some of the specs of the ed8's they claim to have a dual magnetic driver. If this is true I wanna hear the first impressions of the people that actually got it cause it seems to good to be true. :D I mean I'm here with the KZ DT5's pole editions which have a dual dynamic driver and love the sound lets see what the ED8 can bring to the table.

Do the KZ DT5's really comes with a dual dynamic driver?
