9th Mass Order: KZ / GK in-ear monitors (IEMs) earphones

I am conducting the 9th mass order for KZ (Knowledge Zenith) / GK 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 ES - SGD$35

KZ GR and KZ DT3 - SGD$45

KZ ED3 - SGD$60



Please note: more expensive models DO NOT equate to better sound quality and vice versa. The price difference is due to material use. Feel free to contact me for recommendation.



I accept payment prior to ordering via POSB/DBS or UOB ATM / Internet Banking transfer or DBS PayLah! Interested buyers please SMS/WhatsApp to me at 98805223. (Please do not call or SMS after 11pm and before 7am)



This MO closes on Sunday, 1st February 2015 at 10pm. All payments must be received by then.



Delivery of goods takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks.

KZ ES - Single piston earphones : SGD$35



Sound characteristics (after 100+ hours burn-in): Highs of this single piston earphones are beautifully extended, relaxed and open. Bass is taut, well-defined and extended. Midrange offers a high degree of clarity, textural refinement, and overall nuance. Soundstage is neutral with a touch of midrange forwardness.



Suitable for: vocal, rock, pop, R&B, jazz, and classical. Can be used for movies as well.



Bottomline: The KZ ES offers excellent clarity and inner details for its price without sacrificing midrange warmth. Overall, the ES is a great musical communicator in fantastic value.

KZ DT3 - The FIRST* double long-throw piston earphones in the world! : SGD$45



Sound characteristics (after 100+ hours burn-in): The DT3 has a delicate, smooth, non-fatiguing highs, full, fluid and lucid midrange, deep, dynamic and full detailed bass with finesse. Slightly forward-sounding. Wide and well-layered soundstage with good positioning.



Suitable for: vocals, contemporary pop, soft rock, jazz, R&B, and folk. Can be used for movies as well.



Bottomline: The FIRST* double long-throw piston IEM in the world is also the most listenable earphones I have encountered so far. Excellent bass that is deep, full yet detailed. The DT3 has somewhat dark and warm midrange that is smooth, rounded, yet detailed. Its has a "tube-like" quality even when played through solid-state amplification (although not necessary). This IEM will give you many hours of pleasurable listening experiences and surprises... Because I did! The DT3 is my current favorite.

KZ ED3 : SGD$60



Sound characteristics (after 100+ hours burn-in): Smooth, refined and fluid highs without harshness or hardness. Balanced, transparent and textured mids that are neither warm nor mellow. Full, rounded, extended and rhythmic lows. Laid back sounding with a neutral soundstage. Extremely musical, non-fatiguing sound signature that is suitable long-hour listening. For the discerning audiophiles.



Suitable for: vocal, jazz, classical, opera, contemporary pop, soft rock, and audio monitoring.



Bottomline: Purists' earphones. The ED3 is, hands down, the most accurate IEM the KZ has ever produced. Based on listening my impressions, though the ED3 lacks the ultimate degree of treble extension, it is otherwise one of the smoothest and most accurately balanced earphones I have yet heard. Very listenable, natural-sounding pair of transducers. DEFINITELY NOT FOR BASSHEADS. For dynamic, punchy bass, choose either the GR or DT3.
