CoiL
Sorry, I read your post on the "brain burn in" late. It's a +1 for me.
Mind you, I remember auditioning the grados sr80 and 325 a long long time ago and I personally didn't liked them even though many people have high regards for them. We need to keep on reminding ourselves that people just have different preferences and we have to respect each other for that.
let's keep the peace and continue appreciating each others destructive comments.
The Human Hearing is most sensitive in the Mid,s and not in the Heights, because that's where the Human Voice is situated.:wink_face:
And that's ware the Big Can,s licke the ATH-M50 do the Damage, the Hurt match more than IEM,s when the get to Laud.
CoiL is referring to high frequencies and hey! I own a pair of M50s and my hearing is still fine. is it? Lol
Ok back on topic.
Are the zs3's still worth it, or the new stuff overtakes it?
With my ATE i discovered i prefer normal IEM's over this ones with this shapes and over the ear cable. Because with normal ones you just snap them in and start listening, but with this ones, specially now that i'm with long hair they can get quite annoying to put on.
My edr1's(or edr2? i cant remember) were quite beat up but they seemed to have disappeared last week, so now i'm stuck with a ATE missing a tip (i lost it somehow).
And a zs3 i ordered 3 or 4 months ago havent reached me and just now i remembered i bought them and contacted the seller, i hope i can get a pair of them now.
Has kz released new stuff in the "normal" IEM market, or are they focusing only in over ear designs now? What model would you guys recommend?
My s3's seemed to have pretty poor durability, with 2 pairs losing one side audio after pretty low usage.
I would recommend a visit to the barber shop.
kidding aside, get that seller to send you the ZS3 asap, it is all worth it. It is also possible that you may not want to take them off so that will definitely save you the hassle. Also, use some ear hooks to keep it in place as the memory wire is a bit annoying. And I think wearing them down is impossible as they are shaped like customs.
"Ok I got curious if it would be possible to fit them in reverse so I can wear them down and the answer is..... *drum rolls*... I can't. It wasn't a good seal, falls down, memory wire looks funny plus I look stupid." 
Btw, I'll keep an eye on your post once you receive your pair, we may not have the same preference but I am hoping you'll like them as I already invested hyping you up lol.

I like the ZS3 more than the ZST and ATE/R etc., they have a fun bassy sound with great isolation
We are on the same boat. If liking the ZS3 and ATR more than the ZST means I'm a basshead, then therefore I am.
Sorry guys but I'll be leaving head-fi. I feel it is unbalanced and unwelcoming to newcomers claiming our ears are damaged or that we have hearing loss. Only high level posters are believed and there is no room for anyone else. Only the bourgeois who can afford the entire campfire audio lineup are given special treatment. I have been personly attacked with seemingly no reprocussions for the person who did it.
Always remember, don't fall for snake oil.
Take care guys, and for the guy that PM'd me for the ATR's, you'll still get them.
Heeeeey mate, don't be too salty, your opinions are very welcome here. I'm more newb than you in this forums but I have to say you got way too aggressive with your previous posts. and to be honest, this bourgeois people you are talking about are people who already established a reputation here hence more people are taking their word against yours, but that doesnt necessarily mean all the people here doesn't like your opinion. Always remember, you don't get respect by forcing an arm, You get respect because you earned it.
So I say, take a break, come back fresh and when you do, try to be more objective and less subjective of your posts. You're always welcome here, everybody is. And oh btw, Get well.

Welcome my fellow newb. I came from xiaomi pistons too before diving head first in budget-fi, chifi iems and I say start massaging your wife/girlfriend's mindset of what is about to happen to you because I am 100% sure once she sees you got 3 pairs of goodlooking iems lying on your table it is WAR. She will probably think you're spending your life savings for audio gears that will make you ignore her for life.
If you liked what you're hearing from the ATR, It's safe to say the ZS3 is the direct upgrade you need not the ZST. You'd be dumbfounded for its amazing soundstage that you will not believe it is only $8.
"Positive + Negative = Positive but Positive + Positive = #HYPE"
Sorry for the very long post here's a potato.
We all are here so you are in a good company
