I hope EDSE will not hiss with my Xonar U1 as MEP-933 do.
BTW - anyone familiar with this effect? The Monoprices hiss while not playing any music while connected to Xonar, but are OK while connected to my laptop audio out. My PX100 and HD-681B are fine on both laptop and Xonar. Really strange.

 
If anyone is curious - good read: http://headphones.com.au/forums/viewtopic.php?p=25050#p25050
TL;DR - IEMs directly hooked to a desktop DAC is not a good combo. Either go bigger cans, use a DAP instead or add an amp inbetween.

  Last year, I bought KZ-ED8 from kz earphone official flagship store (aliexpress.com). It was on sales for $9.10. Sound quality is amazing for such a low price. Now I like it much more than KZ-EDSE. With good seal, bass is very strong. 


People keep raving about these and claiming that they're even better than the EDSE. Could the ED8 be the new KZ king? Thankfully mine are on the way, so I'll find out within the next month.

The ED8 didn't ship in 2014 afaik. Can you post a pic?
I see this is your first post.  Are you affiliated with the KZ store?

I'm desperately trying to convince KZ store guy to list KZ Micro Ring for retail sell. (Currently listed only for wholesale)
If they do then we can get it no more than ~$14!

Much tempted as the price is very good. Will test the EDSE I'm getting today and then decide.
But maybe I'd like something which sounds a bit different (GR?) than just a bit better.
