Also consider the BQEYZ BQ3
This came second in my concideration. Thank you. If I'm not happy with my first choice I will go with those.
Of the multi driver IEMs in my collection I can recommend the KZ ZS7 and the TRN V90. Both have excellent bass and should suit you.
I decided to go with TRN V90, lots of positive reviews mentioning the strengths I'm exactly looking for. Thank you.

They arrived just in time! My ED-16 cable died this morning. Impressions so far? Not so different...but everything is a bit better, more airy, more defined, better soundstage and super comfortable actually. Sound really natural. Loving them! Btw, thanks to whoever recommended me to get them from the seller that includes the silver cable for free. It's a super light cable that almost feels like a rope.

Is there a chin slider for that silver rope cable? The marketing material says yes, but none of the photos show one, and I can't see one in your photo either.

Nah, I'm just posting here cos I asked advice from people to what should I get next, after my KZ ED-16. Just sharing some :p
Hi, I have the ED16, very good and neutral sound, I find that CCA C12 is a good step above and I recommand it to everyone. Just fit triple flange tips to increase the bass level, then it is perfect !

I'm not too much of a fan of triple flange ones tbh, they always look rather uncomfortable but hey, i will see about that then. I've been enjoying the TRN V90 that I just got but I recognize that they are a bit brighter than expected and that I miss maybe some extra mids. At least I will get to try the CCA C12 as soon as my friend gets them so, we will see how that goes.

Guys, I need to get back to KZ game as my last backup pair of EDR2s died back in July and my ATH-M50x are not always usable (running, cycling, chores etc). What is some recent-ish cheap HZ IEM that's recommended? Cheap as in up to $15.

Anyone care to comment on some of the better values in upgraded cables for a novice KZ collector. My latest is only the ZSN but I'm considering the ZS10 Pro in the near future. Oh, and I don't have a balanced source. TIA
What is holding me off from the purchase of the ZS10 Pro is the lack of quality 90° 2.5mm TRRS C pin wires.
This lack of quality wires is pushing me away from the KZ line and towards an IEM that have the MMCX connector, which I can find plenty of 25 core with a 90° 2.5mm.
What have you found for 2.5mm upgrade wires?

EDR2 is worn down. You looking for something that you can wear down, or are you ok with something that goes up and around the ear?
