Hey Modders, how did you open the shell of the ATR (or ATE)?
I feel like that's an ok representation of my ZST's, but the highs extend far beyond that cut at 14/15khz. Maybe slight difference in tuning.
This is ZST measurement?
About ATE... I recommend You to try 5th gen ATE because their soundstage is bigger and more open sounding than ATR but they have slightly smoother highs and laid-back bass and more distant imaging and better mids. Maybe it isn`t your prefferred signature but recommend to try them out.
Ah yes, that was the ZST's measurement. Here's the ZST (yellow) vs the ED10 (green). The ED10 sounds very unnatural to my ears, and I really don't like that 6khz peak.
Is the current ATE 5th gen? I'll consider getting one, most likely depending on what I think about the ATR when I receive it.
Interesting measurements on ZST, probably not my cup of tea, this graph pretty much confirms the initial impressions of a lot of people so I doubt the mixed opinions are from bad QC but from different personal preferences.
It's a fact. There is zero scientific evidence that burning in does anything. Anyone who thinks otherwise I add to my "maybe not so great at audio" list.
Zero scientific evidence doesn't make something a fact. I'm confident that the study of burn in its not a big grant generator for research funding, so there's probably been minimal effort from the scientific community to prove or disprove burn in. It is difficult IMO to measure the tiny nuances that the human brain can discern when perceiving the outside world and frequency response graphs only tell a small part of the story.
I've listened to a pair of new vivo xe800 that were noticeably different to an older pair. Now after they have been well used like the other pair, I couldn't tell then apart. Am I "not very good at audio" then?
Perception is very subjective so I would suggest not being too dismissive of other's opinions as they are as valid to that individual as your opinions are to you.

A question to owners who have both zs3 & zst, hows the bass in comparison among these?.......
Is one on par with other or is it different or same or edgy? A simple version is more than suffice. TIA.
The ZST seems the top the line right know.
For the price the ATR at Gearbest caN't be beaten. Still waiting for mine, I am here new too.
@dudinacas Welcome to Head-Fi, Prepare to be sucked in and tempted by all of us!
A side note, but you might want to visit the other chinese IEM threads for more earphones with amazing value and sound!
Wow, $6.33 NZD? Nice, I might have to pick one of these up.
Sidenote, what's the difference between the ATE/ATR/ATES?

How does ZST compared to the Tennmark Pro & Xiaomi 2 ?
ZS3 with starline tips - Slightly Soft and a wee bit more in quantity (compared to ZST's tighter albeit less quantity bass)
Kinda agree with the measurements posted on ZST few pages back, that's how I hear mids on mine (somewhat scooped out).
ATES: ATE with memory wire
Thanks for that. So, You like ZST less about mids than ATE? Overall SQ You like ZST best out of KZ?
