Absolutely fantastic!
This is what I needed.
So I think I'm just gonna order ATE, ED9 and ZN1 from Aliexpress
Getting them all seems to be the best thing to do

 

[pss395]

Do anyone have a Taobao link for the ampless ZN1? If their sound signature is close to Havi B3 then I'll gladly purchase it. The amp box sucks tho

 

[MaggotBasshead]

Are these good people to buy them from:
KZ ZN1 Earphone Headphone Smart Headset Original KZ Headphones Bass Auriculares Brand Audifonos Stereo HiFi In Ear Headphones
 
KZ ED9 Super Bowl Tuning Nozzles T Shaped Driver Monitoring In Ear Headphones HiFi Earphone With Microphone Transparent Sound
 
2015 New Arrival Original KZ ATE 3.5mm in ear Earphones HIFI Metal Stereo Earphones Super Bass noise isolating
 
Is there literally no difference with having a mic? or is there something I need to know like its better  not having a mic

Why does it suck?

 

[Trapok]

Why does it suck?

the amp is little bit annoying(not for sound )

 

[sgl54]

Why does it suck?

I find the sound signature very much like my Havi's, but it definately needs the amp to do that. The amp itself is poorly placed. It is half way in between the L plug and the "Y" for the separate ear pieces. It not to heavy but heavy enough that with out some form of support it puts to much pressure on the wires over the ears as well as the ear pieces themselves. The Zn1 comes with 2 shirt clips but these don't hold the wires well enough to do the job. But once it's figured out the sounds very nice and good for about 6 or 7 hours.

Just ordered the HDS1. Can't pass up on another KZ micro driver, especially since the Micro Ring is still tops in my book. 

How does the Micro Ring compare to the RHA S500i's?

Just briefly

 

[MaggotBasshead]

Thanks for the info
Think I'll still get it anyway

Hmm, any difference in sound tuning, or just aesthetic differences?

 

[EarTips]

both are 6.8mm dynamic drive units, but they claimed that the new ones are 30% more on the dynamic response of whole band.
 
edit: hmm, looks like the same thing was mentioned on the older ed3 as well.

How does the Micro Ring compare to the RHA S500i's?

Just briefly

 
Not much of a comparison really. The Micro Ring has much better isolation, more bass, is significantly easier to drive, and has a deeper soundstage (I think this is a benefit inherent to mounting the driver in the tip), but that's it. (That's about as brief as I get, haha)
 
If I were to compare the RHA to any KZ, it would be the ED3. They both have great build quality, are treble and mid focused, but the RHA is bassier and a little edgier at volume. Mids on the RHA are smoother; ED3 is a bit grainy.The ED3's bass is a bit tighter and punchier. The ED3 also tosses in the extra little bit of warmth that I wish the S500i had.

Thanks, I get the impression that I enjoy the S500's quite a bit more than you do
