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

 
The EDse cable looks very similar, but has that same slight sheen I'm seeing on the ATR's cable. It has next to no memory, is very flexible but slightly stiffer than the ATE's cable, and most importantly, isn't even remotely sticky. It is a very good cable imo. Here's hoping @Podster has both and can verify.

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.

Please share with us if convenient which seller you got from. more importantly how is their response to the faulty cable, are they replacing for u FOC ?

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

They're not on recall anymore. You have the green flag to --> go!  

 

[1clearhead]

  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

I am solely depending on you 'Podster'!......please compare them to the ATE's!

Mine were (supposedly) from the second batch and they are faulty. I have been offered a partial refund which I am contesting, especially considering the delay (I ordered them in June!). I shall report back with the outcome.

Sorry to hear that.

 
Hopefully, KZ can show some improvement in their QC department.....Anyone else having these same issues?

 

[B9Scrambler]

They have arrived!! Woot! Working perfectly too.
 

 
I love how heavily inspired by VSonics VSDx line this packaging is.

My Ate Vent holes are closed from inside (by some glue)?
Should I open them for better SQ?!!- Please advice.





vapman Thank you. I measured them and the meter shows around 16-15ohm.

Thanks for letting us know. I've been itching to order a pair, but have held back for exactly this reason.  I may order a pair of ed9s instead.  I'm big on ergonomics and liked the shell design of the ZS3.

I told them I would rather have a replacement than a refund, I'm happy to give them another try.

 

[roy_jones]

Well, I take back what I said about ordering the ED9s, as I'm reading that they're not great for isolation.  Hoping the ATE is better for gym use as the bastards at my gym blast their own garbage music, making it difficult to drown it out.

I was going to suggest you order a pair of Vivo ex 800s.  I've got a pair coming and am excited to get them.  They were said to be a good deal at $50, but there's an AE seller who has them for $18 and I *think* they're genuine.

Thanks for the tip but the ZS3 are going to be my last IEMs for a while, I've moved into earbud territory (Monk+ and TY Hi-Z so far). I prefer the fit and relative openness, plus the sound is awesome.

I'm interested in hearing if there are anymore ZS3 QC problems.
