  I have had all versions and yes there is quite a noticable difference.

 
silver is MUCH brighter than transparent/black,  both version were made with and without vents, vents increase bass response. so black with vents is my favorite.

 
i am sad both my ATR ordered got cancelled or had items replaced, not sure what the problem is, but every seller said they ran out of ATR stock and are waiting for more, but I don't think i've seen a single person post about having gotten an ATR. @1clearhead

Have you tried with the official KZ store? My ATE is already marked as shipped and it's not even 24 hours past since the payment.

I've been personally using ZS3 and also selling them for the past 3 days.
I am glad to say there are no QC issues after selling  a couple of them.
The common complaints are that there is initially no sound on 1 side, but after re-sitting they are ok. 
Other than that, some commented that the memory band is a bit awkward..
Sound Quality wise no one in their right mind actually complaint !

And compared to ATE and ED7 which i have both, the ZS3 is in a different league altogether with superiority in the following;

1. Fit and Seal. I find that the seal is fantastic because of the earpiece shape which just fits very snugly into the ears. I've never used CIEM so i cant compare with the fit, but the fit is the best i've put on. i also noticed in 2 different person that when they put on the IEM and start meddling with the controls in their phones, they couldnt hear me when i speak to them. that's how good the isolation is too.

2. Audio. If the ATE gave you the 'wow' feeling, then multiply it by 3-5 times when you put on the ZS3 because that's just how a layman like me will describe it. The sound is all very balance and have a much better overall resonance as compared to ATE (and ATE(S))

3. Build. Another factor which probably adds slightly to the price. the 'matte' finish is classy, the fonts on the IEM looks designed by an artist.

4. Replaceable cables... Well, that's self explanatory and non-existence for the ATE.

How is it compared to other company budget iems like, vjjb k1, dzaf xiaomi hybrid, tenmark pro etc that have similar price.

Also in aliexpress its sold for 20$ while in ebay its sold for 11$. Where did you buy from are ebay selling orignals.

Also how is clarity and seperation on these. Compared to ate vjjb etc lol.

I know & completely sympathize with wanting to save money where possible, but $20.00 is the absolute highest value you'll see for them, I think it's even a bit less to buy them from the official KZ store or any of the trusted AliExpress sellers, if you're getting them from eBay. of course, if you only have paypal and no credit card to use, inspect pictures & details closely to be sure it's a genuine product.

Yeah Singapore post/4PX takes 10-14 days for delivery. that's insanely fast compared to china post

I mean plugging them out and in again. Could be connection issue. But if there is sound but with issues like you mentioned you should ask for a replacement from the seller.

 
Thanks, I have tried the cable connections, I am in communication with Gearbest now.

I recently got my KZ ATE delivered from Ali. According to seller specification impedances of ATE is 16ohm but my box shows 18ohm.
Is it right that KZ ATE impedance is 18ohm?

 

[Ruben123]

As far as I know all kzs I've seen have the same specs... So it could be anything I guess

 

[vapman]

5 days (about 130 hours) constant burn-in complete: the ZS3 sound as amazing as ever, might honestly leave them for another week of constant burn in, i wonder if they will break in even more and sound even better?
 
 
@Deb1995 2 ohms is negligible. That's more or less within the error margin. I wouldn't fret about it.

Hello guys. Is it safe to order kz zs3? I read there was a recall on the first batch!

 

[Podster]

Not sure which batch mine came out of but they are flawless in build/material and especially sound, KZ stepping it up

Just got these and they are off to the burner but not too shabby OOB

 

[vapman]

I bought from trusted seller HCKexin who i asked about the matter, he said they were of the latest batch, and that the recall happened several months ago, so that's how I heard it/why I ordered one.
 
@Podster wow you might be the first one to get your hands on the ATR in here? awaiting the impressions

Hello guys. Is it safe to order kz zs3? I read there was a recall on the first batch!

 
My set was delayed by a few weeks because of the problems with the first batch. It arrived a few days ago and it is faulty, so I don't know what is going on.

Do my eyes deceive me or is that the outstanding cable found on the EDse? Hmmm. A better cable might entice me to step up to the ATR depending on their signature.

That looks like the cable on my ATE (both sets), or am I missing something?
