Which model is the best sounding? The KZ-ATE 3.5mm?
I own the ATE and ZS3, ZST, and the EDR2's brother the ED9. I also fwiw have Xiaomi Piston "basic", yes I like China IEMs. I've read the EDR2 is even more bass heavy, I like the bass heaviness of the ED9, not sure I'd want any more. With the tuning nozzles to heavy bass I listen to the ED9s day to day for EDM/Rock/etc bass centric music.
As for the other two, the ZST is my favorite, followed by the ZS3. I didn't like the ATE and found them to be a bit flat, but honestly, they're from eBay and may be knockoffs, though they look like the real thing. The ZST and ZS3 are much more naturally balanced to my ear, not so bass heavy and a little more detail in the higher end of the midrange.
I'm hoping to try the ZS5 soon, waiting for a sale because I'm cheap. Lol
I got the zs3 last month for $8, and I think they are worth it. For $6, not much risk to see if you like it or not. I use them for my Xbox one s controller because I find it a bit heavy on the bass for my classic rock music.
I have two of the KZ-ATR, which are I guess from what people say are not as great as the ATE? but were also cheaper at I think 3.50 each. One of the pair had the plastic casing fall off, but the other is still going strong. Not sure whether I want to try the ATE for $6, but for $2 will try the cheap one above.
haven't used the EDR2 but have used zs3, ate, zst, and zs3 is definitely the one i like most... I wanted to like the zst from the hype but... maybe i just got a bad pair, they didn't sound anywhere near as good as the zs3.
