+1 for the ZS10 PRO.

btw different sources will produce different sounds too. Not sure why. On my work lappy, all IEM sounded... ehhh. But on my gaming computer, iphone sounded the best

Now anybody follow TFZ? They come up with TFZ LIVE 3, wonder if it is the same like LIVE 1
Only TFZ I've got is No.3. Love that set now; after many hours of burn in and 3 cable swaps. Bass is now controlled yet still impactful, using a pure silver cable. The original darkness that I originally found with the No.3 is now gone. With time, it's become a much better earphone. It's neck in neck with my ZS10 PRO now. With bass dominated music like Rap or Reggae, it surpasses the ZS10 PRO. But with almost everything else, the ZS10 PRO is still my favorite. I do need to mention though, that I use EQ on ALL my iems.

My fifth pair of KZ ED9, ready to be MMCX modded :grin:

Just need to figure out whether I need to use a dremel bit to widen the hole, as I only got drill bits.

Anyone ever compared kz lineup to the tin t2?
I have tons of KZs and the OG T2. The Tins never really grabbed me in terms of SQ, although I've heard some of the newer models are good. The shape is also really uncomfortable for my ears. I know they have their fans and were the flavor of the day for a bit, but they're in a case somewhere. I listen to different KZs pretty much every day and enjoy them.

Are you using the gold filters? Always use the bronze filters for best treble extension, in fact I'd just trash the gold filters, they ruin the ED9's beautiful dynamic sound.

If bronze filters are too bass lacking, stick micropore tape on the vents, it will help boost the low-end by a modest amount.

And also use KZ starline tips, to me they help increase the treble.

I love the ED9 mostly for its airy upper treble.

ughhh... still not enough I guess... CA16 and ZAX really opens a can of worm... I wonder if we can do something about extending the treble, by drilling here and there... lol

Really? Because the majority of people I've talked to actually find the ED9's treble to be too much with the bronze filters. I think you probably just prefer a different treble tuning style.

actually the best sound for me, was the gold filter, with comply sport pro medium size. Not sure why, it improves the bass and also make the treble more detailed and not muffled.

but I agree this ear piece with the correct tips and filter... worth pass their price by 2-3x.
