Now that I've been picking up the ZS1 on the way to work everyday I can report that the bass on these things have completely made me sensitive to treble!

The bass extension (sub bass) on the ZS1 is simply mad! The amount of sub bass I can hear with bass completely turned down reminds me of a 15" sub! It's totally insane.

To hear everyday it's a fun IEM. All you need to make it sound phenomenal is to turn up the treble on the highest end and that will show you what a badass IEM with a lot of potential is.

I just upped the treble on my EQ and you're right it totally balances the ZS1! Now it fits all my genres I listen to.

Is there another KZ flagship around the corner, or is the ZN1 still too new?

A Question, which KZs comes with whirlwind tips?

ED10-11

Dang Bassheads:eek: LOL

You know I'm just messin' wit ya B9:wink_face:

I know, haha. That said, I'm loving the Havi B3 and they have next to no bass, sooooo...yeah.

Havi B3 Pro 1 is my favorite also for under $100 iem, great details, smooth bass mid & high, crispy strings, great mid/vocal separation, no single KZ's comes close to this, even the ANV imo.

lesp4ul if you read the text on the iem, it's a perfection (older version).

People need due diligence when dealing with pages lile that, if you order those and expect an acme only to be surprised it's a perfection then the fault is on you.

Is that an old version of ed3 or not? My old ed3 is exactly like that one.

No sure...bought them thinking they were the "Acme" version. They do sound good though and have red driver screens. Solid build quality.
Anyone able to identify them??

So this is my old ed3 :

Agree, one of the best kz so far. Comparable to my sony mh1 but mh1 still wins overall.

The ZN1 is older than the ZS1

ED10. But the ED10 is terrible. Pick up sets of 3 (S/M/L) instead.

DaveLt I'll have to strongly disagree with you on the ED10.

Is the HDS2 on aliexpress a real deal? I saw the pics one of the reviewer posted and it is not HDS2.

The reason I am asking is because HDS2 is not found anywhere in the mother ship (Taobao) and that HDS1 was a rather recent release, would they release a second iteration that quickly to cannibalize the first?

It's alright.
 
Either my unit is broken (doesn't seem like it) but I get tons of driver flex on the left side and generally both sides have very exaggerated mid-highs and painful shrill highs.
Bass is a little sloppy but the mids sounds like they come out of a distorted speaker.

Same here. ED10 may not have the best clarity cause they are really warm sounding, but man they are loud and their bass is powerful.

 

[B9Scrambler]

It sounds like you've got a bad pair. They should be very similar in overall signature to the ED9 w/gold filters. I don't have any KZs with driver flex, but maybe I've just gotten lucky there.

They're legit. I posted on them probably a couple pages back. They come in the same shield case as the ED10. Still building impressions. They're a hard one for me to judge since I'm a huge fan of the Micro Ring. To be safe, get the HDS1.

It looks like the HDS2 is the real deal. It's on the official store. And some here has received them by now.

Black colour ED9 (that some called ED9S) is also there, and I would suspect that it is just a paint job on the regular ED9 and would sound the same.

But both drivers sound exactly the same.

Are you suggesting I have no idea what "really warm" sounds like? The ED10 sounds shrill and muddy. That is NOT warm.
 
 
 
Ok, does anyone know when the year end for aliexpress starts?

These are the ones I just ordered that said they were the Acme version...so I just got an old (but good) ED3?

They have well-matched crappy drivers? Haha! I don't know man, but from the description something sounds really off.
 
I personally don't find the ED10 warm. I find the majority of KZs earphones to be on the brighter side of things, in particular those in the ED series. Exceptions would go to the Micro Ring, HDS2, ATE....uh....can't think of any others atm.
