The highly rated budget earphone reached (aliexpress). Arrived in 13 days.

So far impressions are good!
Quite comparison with the TFZ series 5.
The ATE has better sound separation than Series 5 (cough cough)...

Try the ZS3 :D:D:D

Nice nice review pls haha

*I will just describe what i heard in my own way~
*I have not burnt in the IEMs just First Impressions.



IMO ATE was wow~ then ZS3 was like more wow~

I am driving them with Fiio X5II with E12A amp.

Using both with silicon tips.



Build quality

ZS3 looks expensive but feels very light but solid. ZS3 cables is not as sticky as ATE.

ATE just looks so classic which 1 dig too~


Isolation

ZS3 seals better for me than ATE. Probably cause of the design.



Sound

To me ZS3 have the little edge over ATE.

Both are actually built differently.

ATE is just more smoother, lighter which you can listen endlessly~

ZS3 packs a bit more details, more punch on the instruments in a bit larger soundstage.

For me the female vocals on ZS3 are just higher, during higher pitch almost reaching sibilant but just right it just stop there. Won't cause any discomfort. (Different people have different tolerance on sibilant)


Both are great sounding IEMs. Enjoying both~ :D

Humble hootz for those times when I'm too lazy to switch out the 4pin Blanaced XLR cables (on my Oppo HA-1) to 6.3mm SE ones if I wanna use my Gustard H10.

New to the audio game , picked up a Cayin I5, JDS Labs C5 and a Shure425 , like how they sound together. Anyone can teach me a good way to attach them together for portability?
