  Well, remember I just got this earphones like 2 hours ago, so we have to consider that they aren't burned-in yet.
But so far, with the comply tips the sound seems like less bloated, a little more wide soundstage, less sharp but controlled, (I don't really don't know how to describe this yet, but the highs sound much more smooth and natural yet as detailed as they're), the main differences are in the highs mostly, bass doesn't seem much affected if not enhanced a little too, it feels a little more present and punchy, but not a huge differences compared to how the highs got more "naturalized" and smoothed. resuming: it sounds more natural, and that, at least for my taste is a huge enhancement, really, I like the KZED out of the box much more with the comply tips on them.

For the first time in the last 4 months, I like what I am listening from my EDSE. Thanks mainly to Comply foam tips (T400). With the stock tips these phones sounded too mid centric with anemic (non-existent) bass and over enthusiastic highs for my ears (in fact, I loved my ES more than these, which many here stated as having hot treble and recessed lows). After using comply foam tips, there is a definite reduction of harsh highs with a slight bit of bump in lows, i like the sound signature of these IEMs now more so than before.
 
Edit: Along with the above improvement, I also find Instrument separation and soundstage to have improved a tad better (been listening with comply foam tips for the last hour or so)

  I'm strongly considering these:

Any better options, as these will cost ~$22 shipped?

Ha, consider yourself lucky of being able of pick these for only 22. If I wanted to do so I would probably have to pay like 40 usd at least.
 
Sorry for being bittersweet, I mean, you should get them, westone tips are really good, and at least for me, 22 it's a bargain.

Don't be. Just found out that my friend is coming back to Europe too soon, the tips won't reach him in time.
Sucks.

  On this KZ impressions thread, I would say it has good sound for the price $55

Can you compare it with another headphone that you have? I bet they should be a bass heavy headphone.
BTW, LPS and LP2 are gone (from KZ official store) and the nice bundles that they used to have too, what happened?

Nothing ordinary in this, it always gets stuck at Beijing. My last 4 orders did. Time spent at Beijing ranged from 1 week to 6 weeks. Since it's been a month I'd advice to wait a little more. I had ordered the products to India.
 
Oh btw ask the seller to extend protection time. He would likely agree. If he doesn't then press the button on last day. At least better than losing protection.

The second "Export Security Scan" doesn't make sense. It should be sent to airline, then next event a post office outside of China.

I'm still trying to figure out if the ED8 is an across the board upgrade to the EDSE...
