I received an ED10 today and I think it's the best KZ model that I own. Especially so because it sounds good with my iBasso DX50 which is unlike the other models that I own. (ED9,Micro Ring,DT5,GR & ZS1)

  KZ HDS3? link

 
Cool. Design looks like an HDS1/EDse hybrid. Interest peaked! Thanks for the heads up.

Yup, looks just like the Yamaha EPH100.

I prefer rather neutral experience iem oem,as i thought i could try ed4 that come with 'hires' tag. But i cant tolerate with extensive in whichever direction as i care for my ears. Also o rather prefer u shape than v shape,the result maybe isnt as pumped up as the v's but equalizer and amplifier can emphasize to point of my satifaction.currently my ate still shipping.Since ive read this thread from the start, i found ed4 with the most reveal design as i certain kz got alot of bass in theirs, decide to get vapourize rather than get pumped up by ed9 and other bassy,outdated kz's.

Go for the HDS1. They're one of the most neutral KZs with good detail and nice soundstage. Cable kinda sucks, but you really can't complain at the prices they go for. A solid buy. 
 
ATE is another good one, but you've already got them on the way.
 
ED3 Perfection (original model) is another solid option, but they're not quite as refined as the newer KZ models. Still worth a listen if you like a balanced signature with a treble tilt.

Just a quick update from me:
 
I own the ED10, ED9, ATE, and ZS1
 
 
The ED10s have by far had the most use, i use them at work and when im out and about, the others all have very minimal usage.
 
The ATE and ED9s are fine, but the ED10 has started to develop a channel imbalance, the right earpiece being quite a bit quieter, this is fine though given that i work in a workshop and they have been hit with a mash hammer mid air while hanging from my shirt several times, have been around sawdust alot, and had alot of stress put on them, i will just buy a new pair or two to be safe.
 
The real disappointment however is that one of the drivers on the right side of the ZS1 seemed to have stopped working, they have had a very easy life sitting around really and have only at the very very most 2 hours of use (doubt even that)
