Make sure you do BI time if you get the ED3 acme. Sounds very boxy out the box. Took 80hrs for a tight SQ IMO. Accoring to doc holliday the ED3 acme is the improvement of the ED3 Perfection(Silver ones).

i don't read the op but as soon as he says the basshead im confidence giving my recommendations .

Yes, no doubt you made some helpful basshead recommendations.

However, the guy said he's already confused by all of the choices, and has 2 requirements:

1. no over-the-ears IEMs
2. something basshead suitable.

A list of only over-the-ear models might confuse the guy more. Just sayin

They ED3 and ED3c are completely different earphones and sound nothing alike. While they share a design, even that varies when it comes to materials, weight, and fit and finish.

Yep that's why I said the improvements were added to the acme ED3 according to Doc. I ordered the ED3 Perfection a month ago and have not arrived So I cant compare them, yet. Listening to the ED3 acme as I write this. This EP has some good mids and bass for such a cheapie. Real sounding no effects. Slight soundstage, though not wide. Good departure from overblown effect they put into earphones for years. Get a pair. I'm using the tip from a cheap ebay $1.94 EP(they suck worth for a mod and included 4 tips are so great. One of tips is double flange, yep) and the bass sounds ways better than the included ones. Oh snap just tried the double flange even more Bass.

Just recieved my zst silver cable and tried it on the colorful zst. OOTB, the bass is boomy and the treble feels off. I went back to the original cable and all is well again. I tried some different tips(spiral dots, IT03 large tips). Bass became a little to boomy for me although the IT03 gave a great fit. Eventually just came back to the large zst tips. Awesome sound from the plenue pm2. Nice foward mids, strong center image, yet a good mix of clarity, soundstage, and imaging. I'm surprised that the treble is bothersome for some. The dt990 was way to bright for me. My 2 zst's are bright but not overly so.

yes i know but he wants basshead iem, you know kz doesn't have that straight down style basshead type of iem they only have over ear and he said that he wants from kz too so if he wants from kz he have to buy one of those recommendations.

There is the ED8, but I'm pretty sure those were discontinued. The ED3c is probably the next closest in the lineup as a cable-down bass head option. RX is good too, but I think they're hard to come by now as well

I've got both I'm just saying the two models sound so very different it's not really fair to either to say one is an improvement over the other (and I get those weren't your words). ED3 puts it's focus solidly on upper frequencies while the ED3c is more about the low end.

Yeah, good point.
 
The KZ DT5 was a bombastic bass cannon (and straight-down design), but you cant get them anymore.

ed3c is closest to basshead but not actually a basshead iem. Ed3c made for all round not for basshead is not gonna give that bass thump on your ears like zs3 does or zs1 btw he says he wants to replace the sony which already bass cannon iem because sony company extra bass which is good. if you give this guy the ed3c he will not appreciate the sound quality because he originally basshead people.

Just pulled the trigger on ZST with silver cable, as well some Takstar pro 80 rebrand/clone, got a fiio K1 aaas well. I will live by eating instant noodles for a couple of weeks but it was worth it.

With those tips I got big bass on the acme ED3. Ya. Also don't forget the starlines do a good job too.
