Does anybody know how the ed12 sounds? They are like $8 on gearbest.

Pretty bad. Not recommended.

yeah i order the ZST colorful one can you describe there sound?

 

[Shadowsora]

Colorful ZST just arrived, with a broken silver cable, contacted seller immediately..
 
Early impressions:
Nice fast sub bass, mids are there, highs have a weird spike which CAN become annoying, W-Shaped sound.
It's a good IEM, but nothing really extraordinary, it fails to differentiate itself out of all the IEMs I have.
 
 
ATE/ATR remains the best VFM and offer a really good option for treble sensitive people or Vocal lovers, ZST on the other side just sinks in the IEM ocean.

 

[SomeTechNoob]

I think for me ZS3 still sits at the top, with ZST and ATR coming in afterward in that order.  ZST mids and highs can sound a bit artificial at times is the best way I can put it.  Clarity is good, but the vocals just aren't as lush and rich as to other IEMs and cans I'm used to.  I hate to use these sorts of audiophile terms, but it's so damn difficult to explain.  ATR is super laid back and lacks midrange clarity, which for me is a bit no-no.
 
I get a lot more comments on the ZST Colorful w/ the silver cable than the plain black ZS3 though, so I'll keep running the ZST Colorfuls and see which one wins in the long run.  Can't go wrong with either, although the ZS3 is generally cheaper than the ZST.

Does someone know KZ IE7(0)?
 
Just seen them at Yaoyaotigers shop but nowhere else.

Those don't resemble anything that KZ has ever made. Either KZ have updated their designs or this is some manufacturer trying to capitalize on the KZ name.

The IE7 is a couple years old, never seem to hear about it.

 

[Shinry]

I'll ask them about it.
Yaoyaotiger is now the headphone distributor under Beteran Hifi so I actually thought they would be reliable.

 

[B9Scrambler]

The IE7 is an old model that I'm pretty sure was originally part of the g.k. lineup. Pretty sure it came out around the same time as the IE8 and IE80 models.

 

[Shinry]

Ok, just got an answer.
 

 Hi, friend, this is old model, we find it in our warehouse now

 
still sounds interesting.
Do the more experienced KZ collectors have them and can say something about the sound? 
 
Some older models seem to be rare gems, would be cool for this to be one of them

 

[Carson Wotell]

I've just received my KZ ZST's and so far I'm very impressed with the sound.

 

[Vidal]

I've ordered the IE7, let's see if they ship

 

[beowulf]

Asked KZ about the connection type earlier today and they send me this.

Wow, that looks like a plastic home made Andromeda. It's strange to me why brands do something like that. Doesn't really give a good image.

 

[B9Scrambler]

@beowulf I really doubt KZ cares, lol. Look at all the AT inspired earphones in their lineup. At least they back up their borrowed designs with good sound and a low price, and aren't trying to sell them as the real deal. Would still rather they come up with their own designs though.

They've raised the price to $13.98 US now.
