  FYI guys I did pay .90 cents for expedited shipping, I should have mentioned that...me bad. 

Just received my HDS1 exactly one month after I ordered it (without expedited shipping). Its sound is similar to ED9 but microphonics is much worse. Have to wear them cable-up.

I second that the Zircons are great for EDM.  Only one on list I have is the EDSE and the Zircon spanks it.

It's funny\weird but I like my EDse more straight from my Sansa Clip than my IEM set-up (Beresford Capella & Bushmaster MKII with NAD C542). It sounded good on that system but there's a fun factor I love out of the Clip...weird huh? This is the first hp I have that sounds better from a cheap old mp3 player.  Sounded so good I wore them driving home today from the gym. First time I've done that.
 
I bought the Zircons September 13th from Aliexpress and still no sign of them...

Oddly enough I've bought KZ off a TomBUY before.
 
Oh I see that it's Michael Chan still. Yea probably ok. Mine took a long time to arrive because they'd ran out of stock but didnt say. Probably good to verify stock status first. 
 
Other than that all was well.

Any opinions on HDS1 soundstage?  

nice, but ed9 is better imo

Think I'll stick with the ed9s, got it at 5.xx/pair last time.

Yap agree, i think the components matching is doing a great job there,
some tracks sounded much more musical when using just the in-ears and the sansa clip.

After burning-in the KZ-ED3 Youth Version for more than 75 hours I wasn't that impressed. It tends to imitate ED9's sound signature, but lacks everything the Ed9 does so well.
 
......On another note: Did anyone here realize that the KZ-ED11 sounds actually better ontop with a cleaner more vivid treble when compared to the harsh trebles on the ED10's? I actually think these are the cleanest and most transparent sounding KZ, by far. ......haven't tried them against HDS1, or ZS1, yet.

ED10 and ED11 should be exactly same and use same drivers... though, ed11 isn`t legit KZ version, it is "tuned" by other resellers, so, no-one can be sure of their legitimacy.

I was more than sure they used the same drivers, but after burning them in for more than 100 + hours they actually sound cleaner and clearer ontop than the ED10's. My thoughts were the same at first, but the ED10's definitely sound different on top and can not keep-up with the ED11's.
 
.....I say, if anyone owns both, try comparing them after a long burn-in' session. There's definitely a difference. A couple of pages back another reviewer had the same experience.

This could be also QC and production difference... I`ve had two littlebit different sounding ED9`s, so no wonder if they have SQ difference within one series. C`mon,  it cheap IEM made in china

True that they're both still coming from Shenzhen, China.

 
 
.....probably the same company.

Just a heads-up!
 
Ebay seller bessky has increased the price of HDS1 to $11 now (earlier it was $6.43).
 
For those interested in buying these, better try from aliexpress seller Tomsale who is still selling them for $6.86.

or
 
Try this ebay seller who is selling HDS1 for $6.54 (free intnl shipping included)

That seller (same as TomBuy)... I had bad experience two times. One of my ED9 has one dead side and the other one had channel imbalance. I advise buying from Official KZ shop... it costs ~$10-11 there.
