How is the KZ ANV? I can't really find a substantial review on it such as sound, isolation, fit, etc. Also, the models are sort of confusing since descriptions mention 2013 and 2014.. Is there a 2013 and 2014 version that look the same?

Doubt it. Sellers on online platforms such as eBay and Ali do this all the time to get increased orders to their stores and gain feedback. Essentially a loss leader.

Ok, so I've talked with the support over at the kz official store at aliexpress. I spoke with them in Mandarin and they seem friendlier and more glad to answer my questions.
Ed10 will be their last "traditional style" earphone. From what the person said, ed9 might still have the better sound quality, but ed10 uses a speaker from a well known earphone brand, so the sound quality is still very good.
As for the newest earphone that is coming out, I don't really understand what type of earphone is that but he said it is going to be a very good one.
Okay, after some googling. I've come to the conclusion that the next earphone is just a earphone with volume control for smart phones.not some next gen smart or intelligent tuning.
Something to add on, I'm starting to think that the flagship store from aliexpress is just another reseller.
Apparently,they are preparing to sell ed9 but ed10 has already been released. Ed10 will be quite limited tho, as they will only manufacture until they finished the orders for ed10.
And when I asked which of the earphones are among the best sound quality wise, he mentioned ed9 and the upcoming new earphone with volume control.

Cool. Have you tried the Sidy DM3? Sounds like it has a Biological Diaphram material like the VSonic GR07, Little more spendy than the KZ's but worth it if the sound is there.

BTW: I just ordered the carbo copy with the exchangeable nozzles and cloth wire. I LOVE cloth covered wires!!!!
Hope it sounds for ****.

Looks kinda like the Sennheiser CX2.00 or smth. Are you gonna spring on it?
The Shenzhen Yuan Ze shop should be the OEM I think. On my ATE packaging, it says made by Shen Zhen Yuan Ze Electronics Co.

You guys underestimate SIDY-DM3. For some kind of music, none of KZ iem can beat it. Sound resolution is even better than ED9 but if you have old ears you can't hear it. For old ears, boost the treble using EQ.
Take this one as an example:

just got the ED9, after several weeks of using the she3590 and gr02 be on weekends, I can say that it competes with the gr02. Bass is really great (not sure if it's the quantity a basshead is looking for) using the gold nozzles, I find the brass weak in bass. I can't say about brass' details/clarity yet since I'm still enjoying the gold.

The defectives ED09 should be only bad luck their QC don't look much different from Vsonic or HiFiMan IEMs, at least this time it's just 10 bucks...

Hmm pulled the trigger on the ED9, 23 shipped from Amazon. I was scared away from the TTPOD as it nearly had as many poor build quality stories as the Tenore, that and the fact some people rated the ED9 higher than the T1e.
I still am not sure since the T1e is a sidegrade to the Havi's, while the ED9 is said to be a straight downgrade.

So which of the cheaper KZ IEM's should I go for for a not-very-picky girlfriend?

ED9 or ATE. I just got my ED9 in and they sound really really good for $12. Nice thing about the ed9 are the filters that come with it , so she can choose if she likes a more fun and bassy sound or more neutral.
