Gearbest probably has the cheapest ones: http://www.gearbest.com/on-ear-over-ear-headphones/pp_436717.html

  Haven't got my ED12's from GearBest and I'm starting to get unexcited about it after reading your reviews, this is going to be the 1st KZ I will own and I hope it isn't all that bad. Also ordered the ZS3, ATR and ZST but will probably get my hands on them end of next month judging by how slow GearBest shipping is for my ED12's. Late Christmas presents maybe. 

​Even though the ED12's have had less than stellar reviews, I have found that they respond very well to equalization.  If your source has an equalizer and you find that the ED12's sound signature is not to your liking, I'm sure you can have some fun with the equalizer and the ED12s while waiting for your other KZs.  I found the following EQ to my liking
 
64hz      -1.5
125hz    -2.5
250hz    -1
500hz    +2
1000hz  +1

That seems to tally with some comments on Amazon that ED12 has a W shaped signature... you seem to have smoothened it out

rvtrav Would be very curious to see how similar our ED12s sound.

This is indeed probably the cheapest option, however they are taking quite a long time to ship mine out.

Gearbest support informed me earlier this week (Monday) that they have insufficient stock for the ZS3 so dispatching is delayed.
 
Had mine switched for two ATRs (http://www.gearbest.com/earbud-headphones/pp_432000.html?vip=535091) since I already have a ZS3
 
Other than a slightly loose filter/dustcap at one of my ZS3 nozzles build quality is fine

Personally, I agree with 'CoiL'. Coming from the KZ line-up, the ATR's are technically the best in SQ.

Yeaaah, GearBest is rather slow with shipping gear out at the moment.  Still waiting (two weeks later) for my ZST's and ED12's to ship.  When I ordered my ATR's and ZS3's they were fairly quick about it.

 

[SomeTechNoob]

My ATR and ED9 shipped out no problem, but my Colorful and ZS3 are on hold for now, I suppose.

Did you order the colored ZST at GB? I haven't seen them there, could you please link them? =)

I could not find the colored ZSTs on GB, though they do have the black with some design.  I prefer to order from GB, but ended up ordering the colored ZSTs from Ali on singles day, and am now waiting impatiently........

  It's been a while since I dabbled in KZ in-ears. I see the ZS3 and ZST popping up here and there. Which one would you recommend for someone who likes a laidback sound signature and a bit of bass emphasis yet is not keen on a very sharp high end? My hearing can't really deal with too crispy upper mids/highs around 5-8 KhZ for some reason.

 
IMHO, both ATE (inaugural version) and ZS3 has the sound presentation that you are looking for. I would suggest you to look at ZS3, in particular.
 
Among my KZ collection, I love using ZS3 (followed closely by ATR) more so than the others. I feel they are engaging yet relaxed in their sound signature (no peaky highs).
 
BTW, GearBest has them for under 10 USD (shipped).
 
Cheers!

That can happen on Aliexpress as well. I'm still waiting for some items to ship that I ordered on the 11th.

Oh dear, that might be my fault as I ordered a few of them
