  My current preference would be
 
1) ES
2) ATE
3) ED9
4) EDSE

 
Why did you rate ES so much higher than EDSE? They seem almost identical in design.Maybe its that "filter" on the back.

^Thanks guys a lot!
If I told you that my main preferences are - soundstage, clarity, bass quality - what KZ IEM would be best suitable for me?

ALL OF THEM XD
 
But seriously, i have 10$ and I constantly hand here and opinions change on a daily basis,everyone has different feel for the sound,also some broken ones appeared.I can't wait for a month to recieve defective pair,and by the time they arrive ,opinions will change again.ED9 was best,now ANV came into the story again XD.

new to this thread,

so what are the current tops- ATE, ANV or ED9? 

My current tops are:
1. ANV / Micro Ring
2. ATE
3. ED3
4. ED9 (gold)
5. EDse

Everything below the ATE tends to flip flop, but those three at the top are golden.

I was trying to hit play and it wasn't working, then I remembered my computer does not have a touchscreen.

I don't know whether it's just me or anyone else too had similar experience.  From day one, the EDSEs that I had received were too bright for my taste (prominent vocals, hot highs and anemic bass were its hallmark with the stock tips, changing to Comply Foam T400 did help reduce the treble harshness to a great extent though) whereas my ES sounded with perfectly balanced sound signature (even with stock tips, but using JVC Spiral Dots tips made them sound even better) with enough bass response and smooth but extended treble (vocals too sounded more natural).

IMHO

ED9
ATE
EDSE
GR (old version)
Micro Ring

 

[Hisoundfi]

ED3, ES, and ANV are honorable mentions IMHO

 

[ilikeiem]

[Podster]

IMHO

ED9
ATE
EDSE
GR (old version)
Micro Ring

I'm with you on those first two then again I don't or have not owned the others

 So many iem's and so little time (budget to) that I want to try some others and the ED9's and ATE are my KZ's which I'm extremely happy with especially at their price points. You and Paul are going to make me go broke for sure, oh the torture of it all

 LOL Think the A73/83's, Titan's, 2000J and T Delta's are going to run me more!
