17th MO: KZ in-ear monitors (IEMs) earphones
« on: September 10th, 2016, 8:41am »

I am conducting the 17th mass order for KZ (Knowledge Zenith) in-ear monitors (IEMs). These Chinese IEMs offer fantastic sound performance at very reasonable prices. Their sound quality will easily outperform any IEM you can find in Singapore within the same price range or higher.
Prices with shipping included are: KZ ED9, KZ ATE - SGD 40 KZ ZS3 - SGD 55 KZ memory foam tips - SGD 10
Please note: more expensive models DO NOT equate to better sound quality and vice versa. Feel free to contact me for recommendation.
I am aware there are a lot of fake KZ earphones circulating around the Internet. Rest assured mine is 101% the real McCoy as I obtain my stocks DIRECTLY from the manufacturer in Shenzhen, not from Taobao or AliExpress like some sellers do. I have been liaising with KZ factory since 2013. More than 3,000 pairs of earphones sold. Having a good track record matters.
I accept payment prior to ordering via POSB/DBS/UOB/OCBC ATM transfer, Internet Banking transfer or DBS PayLah!/OCBC Pay Anyone. Interested buyers please SMS/WhatsApp to me at 98805223. (Please provide your name. Do not call or SMS after 11pm and before 7am)
This MO closes on Sunday, 11th September 2016 at 9pm. All payments must be received by then.
All items listed are strictly sold through mass order ONLY. I do not have overstock.
Delivery of goods takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks. Collection points and times shall be announced later.
Optional: Courier service is available for SGD 10 flat rate up to 2kg delivery within mainland Singapore.

KZ ED9 - Successor to the popular KZ GR - The most exciting IEMs in the KZ lineup now : SGD 40
Sound characteristics (after 100+ hours burn-in): The ED9 sound signature is reasonably balanced throughout the highs and mids, with a gradual emphasis towards low bass.
[Short acoustic ducts] Awesome bass extension and kick. Exceptional clarity, control and definition. Midrange is extremely clear and hyper-detailed, but not at all in an aggressive or artificially dissecting way. Very good timbre with voices and acoustic instruments. Vocals in particular have a sublime quality of "being there". Highs are extended, smooth and highly resolving. Slightly forward presentation with good texture and layering.
[Long acoustic ducts] Slightly rounder bass with super-clear midrange that convey a feeling of directness and intimacy without much forward projection, but retaining good dynamics, excellent depth and layering. The separation is impeccable, with well defined space for instruments and vocalists.
Suitable for: Vocals (especially female vocal), rock, pop, techno and electronic music. Jazz and classical sound excellent when using long acoustic ducts.
Bottomline: Indeed a worthy successor to KZ GR, the ED9 is among the clearest and most detailed IEMs I've ever heard. Yet the midrange are so natural and gorgeous, that I believe the ED9 could have been the one to rule them all. Excellent transparency spanning from lows to highs makes this IEMs my new reference for the absolute sound experience. The ED9 is my current favorite.

KZ ATE - The comfort zone : SGD 40
Sound characteristics (after 100+ hours burn-in): A laid back, fluid and spacious IEMs. Extended soundstage with pinpoint imaging - both width and depth. A balanced midrange that is smooth and lucid, with a hint of warmness and delicacy. The high frequencies are non-fatiguing, airy and open. Compared to KZ HDS3 and ED9, the lows are not as extended and dynamic but they are well-presented nonetheless. Mild characteristics make it ideal for prolong listening and to unwind after a stressful day.
Suitable for: vocal, jazz, classical, opera, blues, soft rock, oldies, contemporary and Canto-Mando pop.
Bottomline: The KZ ATE is both comfortable to wear and to listen. Noise isolation is exceptional. An excellent choice for bus/train commuting, flying or going on a road trip. This is the IEMs I will grab to chill-out and relax.

KZ ZS3 - KZ's current flagship IEM : SGD 55
PLEASE NOTE: There were some production issue with earlier batches of KZ ZS3 (made before August 2016). Since my stocks are obtained directly from the manufacturer, rest assured the problem has been rectified and are from the latest production.
Sound characteristics (after 100+ hours burn-in): The KZ ZS3 offers deep, full, rounded bass with superb precision and definition. Midrange is lush, warm and weighty without being too thick. Vocals are laid back and clear. Treble is smooth, relax, layered and extended. Soundstage is wide, spacious and deep.
Suitable for: Vocals, contemporary pop, rock, hip-hop, funk, rap and electronic music.
Bottomline: Deep, robust yet tight bass and outstanding midrange is ZS3's forte. A must-have for all electronic, hip-hop and rock music lovers. Comfort, fit and noise isolation are greatly improved over its predecessor, the ZS2. Definitely a modern audiophile's ultimate choice.
