How much of an upgrade if it sounds similar?T2 is an upgrade over C880 (or Estron C630, as the original naming goes), but its quite similar sounding.

We shouldn't tinker with the "jack-in-the box" 'cause "POP!" goes the ED12's!
How much of an upgrade if it sounds similar?
I personally like the newer version of the KZ HD9 (V2) vividly displaying better details in the MID's and highs while maintaining a solid bass response. The tuning and frequency response has been changed since then from 20~20,000hz to 20~22,000hz.
Hope this helps.
The W6 Pro is not a good pick. The W1 Pro is vastly superior. W6 Pro's build quality is terrible for one (cheap, delicate plastics with sloppy fit and finish), and they're just wayyyyyy too bassy. Only worth buying to donate it's cable and connectors (MMCX) to another earphone, haha.
Imo, ATR is much better than the ZSE. ZSE is decent, but it's sound stage came across quite congested. That stopped me from buying one of my own. Seems like a middle of the road model in the lineup. So yeah, go for the ATR. Good staging, nice build and materials, warm, smooth, and detailed with good end-to-end extension. Best of the AT lineup for me.
The ATR and ZSE are really good picks. They both present good MID to hi-end details, but both have different of type bass texture.

The details on the MID to high are cleaner and clearer as in the older version it wasn't all there and just meh?. The old version had a little too much bass for me. The new version fixes that up to a "T". They've changed the frequency specs since then as well. I can't tell you if it's a different driver, or not, but since trying the older version with the newer version, it's a no brainer and since then I have gotten' rid of my old one and gifted them.How to we tell the difference between HD9 v1 and v2? I thought there was only 1 version...
Hm...that would be hard to quantify, especially since I don't have T2 on hand anymore to A/B. But it definitely sounds cleaner on the mids and treble. Basically, if I needed one or the other, I'd take the T2, especially at the current $36(?) sales price. If there ever was an upgraded version of the T1, I'd take those though. Liked it a bit more than the T2, soundsig much warmer.

Who ever gets them might want to double check that the frequency spec reads 20~22,000hz, not 20~20,000hz. Or, confirm it with the online store that it's from their newest batch sent from KZ.
Do you think it worth to buy T2 for $36 if I already have Ci880? Really like the Ci880 sounding, it just so clear on everything and comfort is great.
If you really want a significant upgrade that has a different sound-sig, not really. Even the fit is quite similar (with the CI880/C630 fitting easier since its smaller for me). Removable cable might be a factor if you need it to last longer (as usual, mine is the old white cable, I heard the new C630 with black cables are much tougher).
I want to say you might be better off waiting for the T2 Pro or T3, but since there's no new info on their release, can't really say much.
Currently I have a lot and don't think I would use all of them.
Yup! The new retail package states the new specs.Unfortunately I won't have each of the 2 versions to A/B.
So is the best way to tell via the frequency spec (20~22,000hz)? Does it state this on the retail package??
That's an understatement!
NONE of us will use all of the IEMs we have haha
