lol - yeah I saw your review on AliE
I like neutral but I can't tolerate a complete lack of bottom end. I lived with that on the Etys for so long; never again. Sold my AKG k702 for the same reason, but admittedly I had them under-amped a bit. Some people think the bass is fine on those. I thought it was near non-existent.

Hey all you old skool KZ fans 
(I've often wondered if the DT was for Dee Throned, surely KZ was not thinking the ED9's
)
Just posted this shot over in the "Show off your iems/Buds and Access" thread behind the Vampire and his Empire Ears$$$
Actually listening to these on the 5K right now and they are still outstanding (albeit on the heavy side) for their cost
Love me some Natalie and how about these players eh

I just received my KZ EDX Pro today and I agree they sound less harsh the normal EDX but quite bassy though. I will graph them both tomorrow to see what the old and new are like.

ZEX order placed. I received CCA NRA and pretty liked it (cons will be recessed lower mid) and hope ZEX gets a bit better tuning than NRA.
The NRA is supposed to have the better tuning according to the official CCA store. I have both on the way along with the CA24. I will graph them all when they arrive to see what the differences are.
Hope they are good because I want to gift someone with one of these.
I would recommend ZAS. Its a great iem, its clean sounding with fantastic layering and good extension on both ends. I absolutely love it, enjoy it for the price. I would suggest changing the cable depending on your sound signature preference. For me, Kbear Limpid Pro cable worked, it brought out the mids, and I noticed an overall refinement and slightly controlled bass. Perfect for my taste.Thank you for these recommendations. The entire KZ line is essentially all in my budget range so even the ZSX/ZAX/ZAS are within reach. Preferences I don't have anything specific other than something close to the sound of the ZSN with decent bass response. I usually prefer foam tips which have done a lot for tamping down the sibilance on all the KZ's I've used especially with the ZSN where it was almost necessary.
I'll be taking a closer look at all of these recommendations and go from there. This at least helped me narrow down my options quite a bit.
I have reviewed multiple iems around this price range, this one's highly recommended!
Note: I bought the ZAS by paying full amount so I am not speaking for the brand. Either way I dont receive stuffs from brands, its mostly borrowed from friends or I purchase them.
But honestly I recommend ZAS. Good luck

Today I plugged my KZ AST into my Zishan Z3. As expected, it sounded too dark. However I was able to circumvent that. I plugged my AST into the Line Output and reduced bass in the EQ and boosted all treble bands slighty. The sound is now balanced and fatigue-free.
Well given in to the hype : got ZAS to replace my ZSX, both paired to Tripowin C8
Definitely worth the upgrade, initial impressions more coherent and improved lower-range performance and transitions.

Thank you @RoXor!!Congrats
Here is my take on the KZ EDX Pro.
Also twice the price of the original EDX may affect it sales.
