Yay! A reputed reseller here in India has started to carry KZ IEMs. (currently only EDSE and ED8)

What is better is, that he's selling these at reasonable prices

That's a good find/price (hopefully no hidden extra charges like tax n shipping et al) #ThumbsUp

I revisited the KZEDSE today. I'm still to this day really impressed with these things.
 
One thing that I think isn't very often mentioned, and one of the things that I think makes them so special is their huge soundstage for an in ear monitor. They extend well in both directions, and there is a energetic treble response and shimmer that gives them great height, and brings music to life. While I do wish the treble response was a microfraction less harsh and more towards the relaxed side, there's no denying that the soundstage is really large for an IEM, giving it a sense of space and depth to the sound that you often times don't get in really expensive gear. This was without a doubt one of, and if not the best bang for your buck deal of 2014/2015

Agreed, these have nice soundstage. Just now I am playing Skyrim on PC and the big soundstage is really makes it more enjoyable.

I have to disagree. I don't think EDSE has huge soundstage.

I didn't say huge, ED8 have huge soundstage, EDSE's is just nice.

I guess you don't understand physics. When air pressure has changed, you need to change sound volume in order to hear the same level of loudness. If it doesn't exceed safety level, what's wrong with RAISING THE VOLUME?

RAISING THE VOLUME term is giving different impression to different people, of course we are on head-fi
 
I'll summerize this, 
 
ilikeiem proposes to use ED8 at max volume level possible within safe limit.
Ira Delphic thought that it means raising the volume beyond danger levels.
 
As simple as that. Nevertheless, the article was a good read and every audiophile must go through it to avoid hearing loss. IEMs are pretty recent development in audiophile world and so we are not very aware of its long term effects. There are headphones are earbuds, but IEM deserves special mention and attention since it seals the ear in best way possible.

Nowhere in your original post is "safe level" mentioned. You told someone to turn up the volume. Did you think that someone was listening to the level too low to hear the music? The required sound volume is dynamic. It depends on ambient exterior noise and the volume/gain of the source recording. 
 
Turning up the volume of an IEM will mask crappy SQ, but I think it is better to just get a good IEM to begin with. My blue ED8 had very muddy bass and even though it's inexpensive, was unacceptable for my needs. The red ones may have very different tuning (and better) SQ from what I've read. 
 
Different subject - my order of KZ R1 arrived - and instead of 3 IEM's they included only 1. I opened the dispute process.

This sucks. How can they be so careless 

Hopefully you'll get the return. Update later what response you get from them.
 
I still haven't received my Blue ED8 that I had ordered on launch date. Since some date in Jan it's been trapped on Shanghai airport. I had opened dispute but they said wait because of CNY.. but still no much help.
