  ... just wondering how did people remove the grill on top of the drivers in order to put it in a whole in the top plate casing.

Open enclosure, pull away the golden grill along the wire, desolder cable from driver, pull that golden grill out from cable, resolder cable and put that grill wherever&however You wish :wink:

Yeah the problem I see is on my pair their seems to be glue keeping the golden grill in place, it's annoying so I'm gonna try dislogging it from the glue, it seems to just be some hot glue gun glue. Really wish they didn't put in glue around it

Hi , been having used the ED9 for quite some time and been very pleased about it , is there any others make , model of the same kind have similar performance lever / on par or even better to those of sound produced by the ED9 ?
Not over the ear type iem or big cans please , but KZ or any other CN made iem priced not over the top , but on the similar price range .

Currently I been using the galaxy note with sound blaster E5 on the ED9.



Any advice would be very much appreciated . TQ

Long time ago, when I was trying out the different ear tips for my KZ ATEs the metal mesh fell out. I was on the go so I somehow jammed them in there. Of course, the mesh got bent :rolleyes:

Today I was cleaning them and instead of using a needle I used a q-tip and now the mesh is cloged with earwax. Will there be noticeable sound diference if I remove the mesh? Also, is there a better way to clean them? I clean my ears every day and the nozzles still get dirty.

Yeah, usually that's enough but I used the foam tips while running and they don't stay in place. I think the nozzle protrude past the foam tip. The silicone tips keep falling out. What tips can I use as a replacment?
I use the silicone tips. It doesnt fall out at all. might be becoz im using it with earguide and shirt clip. I wouldn't like using foam on running.. Imagine the sweat absorbed into ur eartip eek

I thought that would be a problem but it isn't because the KZ foam tips are not like regular foam tips. I can't get a good seel with the silicone tips. I used the ATEs for runing because that was my cheapest pair of earphones. I ordered a pair of sport earphones just for running.

Same here, the ATEs are the best for running and all kind of sports thanks to the memory wires, they have a very good sound quality and clear details, though the bass can be a bit too high.
I hope the KZ ZS3 have less bass

Theres a KZ ATR that just popped up some days ago. http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/2016-New-Original-KZ-ATR-3-5mm-In-Ear-Earphones-HIFI-Stereo-Sport-Earphone-Super-Bass/1825606_32698707177.html

Looks the same as the ATE except with different bass tuning? It also has the vent port according to the picture.

Anyone else notice that they seem to shift to a new logo? Initially I was confused when I saw it on the ATR page .. but then the sweet mailman brought my ZS3s .. and they have BOTH logos on the box 
 


Listening to them right and now and really liking what I am hearing. But not a comparison set up yet ... too much new sh!t to wade through :)

No one else has done a review yet? I am also known as 'brass ears' :) I know when I like something and I can detect bad IEMs ... but all that fancy talk .. well, let's see .. 

Heh everyone else got a faulty pair or had them recalled before delivery.

Wow, seriously? Mine sound very fine right now, working on both ears ... nice 'bassy' fun phones. (Usually not a big basshead, but for workout stuff, yes, pls) They also fit well, which is rare for me (The KZ ATE are still an issue for me) 
 
Need to compare with ZS1, which I have not really given any love yet.
