Hey @Chief Stringer
the ATE u own, it is called KZ ATE S? or it is different model?

The ATE i have is the older version, the ATE S as far as im aware sounds the same but the part where the wires connect to the earphones look different and they use a memory wire to go around the esr like the ZS1 does, and for that reason id recommend the old ATE over the S version, because i hate the memory wire i think most dudes here agree.

Some have reported that S version is noticeably more bassier than non-S version translucent black ones. So, I wouldn`t be sure about that.

Start with ed9 and hsd1 (most balanced sound) , ed3 for heavy bass , ATE for all round SQ.

I was looking for tip recommendations for KZ iems actually, not iems.

Ooh, I'm guilty as charged as well. Spinfit's, Auvio's, Whirlwind's and some of the see through dark gray ones work for me but best to just sit with 2 or 3 sets and change them out, some are night and day especially wide bore from tiny

Call me KZ but I feel like I already have

These are the 11 pair I currently have but soon to be pared down to 4 which will be my kick around iem's which I don't have to worry about on the grab-n-go

Are all those clamshell cases included?

At $0.80 cents a case I guess so

However inexpensive these Chinese iem's are they all deserve protection and a good home

Just got a pair of Ostry KC06 and i have to say that they offer exceptional SQ for the money. I can even say that their SQ performs in the $100-150 regions.

Nice Sean, was that through the MassDrop?

Sounds like the bass aspect is missing Are you running stock tips because they kinda ruin the experience imo? I suggest something such as, or similar to, JVC's stock wide bores.

Just tried the wide tips provided stock. Bass does not seem much better than my xiomi hybrids, does anyone have both and can compare or maybe even to the piston 2?

Nope, unfortunately not as MassDrop does not ship to Malaysia. I got it from Lazada for Rm 180 ($45?) but with a little eq to increase subbass and reduce sibilance they sound 90% like my CKR-9s which is astonishing for the price.

Just ordered the HDS3 since I haven't seen a lot of comment on those yet.  Be interested to see how they compare with the 1st gen version I have.

KZ GR Pictorial Review
 
Hey guys, I just got my KZ GR on the mail, and let me tell you, these are a GORGEOUSITY.
 
Here's some proof:
 
 
 
    
 
  
 
The cable is a gorgeous pearly white. Really cool looking.
However, it ONLY comes with the black nozzles, with a hole and a patch inside covering the hole.
It does NOT come with the red nozzles.
 
Does anybody of you own both models? The previous one with the red nozzles and this new one?
What am I missing? Is the same sound? Or entirely new one?

 

[CoiL]

I had the second gen GR with both nozzles but red one without port hole (1st gen had hole in red nozzle). As far as I know, both versions have same drivers and sound same with same nozzles being used.
They do look beautiful and have best cable along with ANV from KZ bunch... but... as for SQ, imho they are nothing special - soundstage is small and is congested, they sound "thick" and not so good separation/transparency. They do sound good for oldschool rock with sloppy mastering and recording.

Can you link where you get those? These look really nice, and for 80 cents a case I might just get 10 or so haha
