Pic I mean, the ATEs have foam or silicone eartips? Are they good?
[General Accessories] vectron:
They come with both, but I have so many headphones and eartips, usually go to my stash of spares to find which one fits better. That's a thing with headphones and eartips - we all have different ear anatomy and just because one pair of eartips fits me, it doesn't mean it will fit you. Tight seal created by eartips will affect a sound significantly, especially the bass. Foam tips usually create better seal because they expand inside of your ear, also making fitment more secure. eBay has a ton of eartips you can get really cheap, both silicone and foam in different sizes. Keep it as spares for your in-ear headphones and "tip roll" (go through different eartips) to find the one which fits you the best!
[General Accessories] Techguy18:
Okay, Piston 3 are in stock, as are the KZ ATE's, but Piston 3 are ~50% more expensive.

Last Q here:

I listen mostly to electronic music (need bass, but not overpowering); need good isolation (as you said it depends on tips and fit). Needs to be comfortable (will be using for an hour, will depend on tips again).

Is it worth paying Rs.999 for Piston3 over ~Rs.700 for ATE?
[General Accessories] vectron:
They are both good, but I think with Pistons 3 you are paying a little extra for improved build quality. As much as I like KZ sound, you do have to realize they cut some corners to sell their IEMs that cheap ;)
[General Accessories] Techguy18:
True, they gotta cut corners somewhere. So, Piston 3 for build quality.

Now, as I said before, noise isolation is very important. You said that this depends on fit etc, but if you had to choose between both to listen to in a noisy environment using their own respective stock earbuds (Piston 3 with it's own vs ATE with it's own) what would you choose? Which will isolate better (for you)? I will be using the eartips I get with the IEM.

I've read that the Piston3 does not isolate very well.

Sound signature. Correct me if I'm wrong: Piston 3 very balanced, ATE = enhanced bass?

Need noise cancelling, active would have been nice, but too expensive. Hence the repeated questions :)
[General Accessories] Techguy18:
Btw how's the sound isolation of the ATE compared to the ATH IM50 / Shure SE215?
[General Accessories] vad0s:
Great review man! Just ordered ED10 and considering buying ATE. Btw could you post some links on ebay with eartips? Thanks :)
[General Accessories] vectron:
type "hybrid eartips" in ebay search. Plenty in there ;)
[General Accessories] biomassgenius:
Is they good enough for in ear monitors?

Ok, so I'm at the edge on going to buy the KZ ATE.

But I need to know something first.

I'm a guitar player and I need to get me a pair of in ear monitors, most of my friends have shure se215, but I can't afford them right now. How big is the diffrent between the shure se215 and the KZ ATE?

Are the ATE good enough for using on stage?

Need an answer as fast as possible so I can order the headphones. Have a consert soon.

Thanks for answer

Hey

I'm not sure what to buy

I listen to Heavy Metal, Dubstep (electronic) and Rap

What KZ should I buy?

I currently use the Skullcandy Titans

Thanks
[General Accessories] vectron:
ATE would be good!
[General Accessories] MaggotBasshead:
I can get the ED9 and the ATE for £20 each but I'm not sure which to choose. The ED9 have the two different filters and that seems to suite my sound but then again the ATE are really good

I'm stuck between ZN1, ATE ED9 and HDS1 (I don't know much about the ZN1 or the HDS1)

So what should I get? I have to admit that the ZN1 do look epic!

PS: Just for some background my other audio equipment is JVC HA-MR60X (Over ear Headphones) and I also have the good old Logitech z5500 Surround sound speakers
[General Accessories] vectron:
Got ZN1, don't recommend it. That amplifier piece is too big and bulky. Regarding others, they are so dirt cheap, get ATE and ED9 - this way you will cover every sound signature!
[General Accessories] MaggotBasshead:
Okay thought so. I was gonna do that anyway :D
[General Accessories] whatthefunk:
Thanks for your very helpful and detailed reviews with great close-up photography! I've had the ATE's for almost a week and I'm loving them -- awesome product for the money. For ATE my preferred tips are the included foams, which sound smooth and seductive to my ears, after shaping the EQ for a bit more punch / liveliness. Just got the ED9 today and they sound like they may benefit from some burn-in time to settle down.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Just got more stuff from KZ, their HDS1 and ED3, both are awesome. It's just amazing of how well they tune their headphones and still only charge $10-$15... Once I get a little bit more time will post my reviews.

BTW, I have been told that a lot of Aliexpress sellers are USING MY REVIEW PICTURES in their product listing. I have see a lot of it, my signature "granite counter top". I never authorized anybody to use my pictures and don't associate with any of these sellers.
[General Accessories] SUPERUSER:
I stand between the choice of buying the ED9 or the ATE.

How is isolation with the ED9? I read in the beginning that it is mediocre? Will i be able to ramp it up while sitting 50cm from another passanger on the bus noticing? Or will the earpieces become two loudspeakers?

What could interest me in the ATE. Is the cable detachable?

One seller on Amazon writes this:

http://www.amazon.com/KZ-ATE-Balanc..._UL160_SR159,160_&refRID=1T4MPZ3T9YBHTKFE8STA

It lookes like the earpieces has mxconnectors because of the textured metal to make it easy to grip (?)..
[General Accessories] vectron:
Isolation will depend on your eartips, you can definitely get a decent level of isolation and don't have to worry about sound leakage.

Regarding mmcx connectors, absolutely NO, these are permanently attached cables. The cost of mmcx connector pair alone is probably $10. These headphones all together sold for $10+ ;)
[General Accessories] SUPERUSER:
Thank you for your kind answer. Well then I ordered the ED9
[General Accessories] gustav30:
Based on this thread, just ordered the ED9 and EDSE. Normally I'm an etymotic HF2 guy, but looking for some variety. Can't wait for these to arrive. Curious if they will match the $100 etymotic HF2s.
[General Accessories] ghr4:
How do the KZ ED10's fit in the ear when lying on your side? Do they fall out during exercise?

I love your reviews and they're very useful! Keep posting man :)
[General Accessories] jjeuwi:
Is there a way to open the cover of the ATE? Some water got into mine (probably from when I was exercising), and I was thinking of opening it up to dry it.
[General Accessories] gal_b:
So which is the best model by KZ from what you've tried? i don't mind about the price here
[General Accessories] ninrocket:
nice review. that first set must feel like rocks in your ears with that much metal. :D
[General Accessories] safiyu:
Need to admit. KZ ED10 is one of the best earphones I have used. With the help of ViperFX i was able to get the best out of it. Trebel and Bass are balance. Crisp sound and excellent noise cancellation. My only concern is with the body design. Other than that, an awesome gadget to own.

Regards,

Safiyu
[General Accessories] zedzetzed:

Hi..

I can't decide between ED9 and ED3 .. The thing is I work in a IT company so the surrounding is very calm. I found that ED9 are open back.. Is there any sound leak... And did u ever use ED3( considered only because they are closed back ).

Thanks.
[General Accessories] deepsweech:
Nice reviews. I got both ATE and ATE S. Both are great but quite bulky. Only use them at home when I'm out I usually use VJJB V1S , another budget earpiece killer.
[General Accessories] vegetaleb:
Can you use ED9 for sports or they pop out easily?

Can you use ear guides (hooks), and if yes which models?
[General Accessories] VerucaSalt:
Nice review. I bought and am listening to some ATEs based off of it.

Good recommendation :)
[General Accessories] Nnyan:
Got my KZ ATE's and they sound very good for the price. Good comfort but I have to say that this is the first "over the ear" set of IEMs I've used and I just don't like the over the ear style. The build quality looks and feels solid but the cables do tend to get tangled (not the worst but not the best either). I will say that very little if any cable noise bleeds which is nice. They are comfortable but not the best, above average is what I would call it. It seems like the ear tip foam pieces have a tendency to "pop" out so eventually I will loose them. Overall very nice for the prices but I'm not sure I would recommend them over the KZ ED9 or ED3c, Tuna X6, Superlux HD381, Awei ES800, Syllable G02 or Edifier H290's (unless you have a huge preference for over the ear).

[General Accessories] Karakuroraka3:
I know I'm new to this thread and forum, and I really don't want to be THAT guy, but to Vectron or anyonae else writing reviews and discussing earphones and their wearability,please remember that fitment is not a word that can be used in this context. A fitment refers to a piece of furniture or the hardware fittings used to install a piece of equipment (like a stove or car parts). The word fit alone is usually enough.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Pawprints1986:
Ive been looking around a bit at roms... but they all seem to be stock based. i find stock ugly. i much prefer the touchwiz based compact notification drawer im using now. Not to mention custom fonts, separate lock screen adn home screen wallpaper, upon other things i cant think of right now.

Ive played around with my mothers pure stock phone and while i could figure it out just fine, it lacked much of any personalization.

That would be cool if someone adapted say the galaxy S4 mini or S whichever-number mini software to work with our devices, that way it would be an update for OS but it wouldnt end up lacking all the neat things im used to.

Unless ive just seen too basic of a version of stock... Moto G.

Im sure im alone in this as most people want rid of touchwiz and install themes to look like stock..... but its something i secretly hope for lol.

How can I hide icons in the programs and settings panel.

In the programs panel they are links to applications,

have found the link files in \windows\startmenu\programs

folder but cannot delete them.

Is it possible to hide there icons?

Houser
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
If you want to remove them, try unregistering the dll.

If you want to hide it, one crufty hack I just tried is to parse into

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\

find the name of the icon you want to remove, and read its current group number (eg 0 = personal).

Now map Group to a non existent tab like 5, and it won't show up.

Let me know if smoke comes out of your phone!

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Houser:
Thanxs vijay555,

with unregistering the dll you mean the cpl file?

But not all have such a file.

It would be enough to hide them. Will try your hack.

Do you know how to remove links in the programs panel?

Houser
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nothin:
programs panel? /windows/menu start/programs....

hiding things in settings may work with empty key named "Redirect", but did not test it to be sure...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Houser:
Hiding icon in controlpanel works with the reg hack.

Yes I mean /windows/menu start/programs.

There are link files to the app but they I cannot delete them

cause they are in rom.

Houser
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Houser - the reg hack worked ok?

Which .lnks in the \start menu\ can't you delete? Can you list them by name - I think they can all be deleted can't they?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Houser:
vijay555, the reg hack worked fine, nearly deleted all icon

in control panel ;) coool

I mean the link files in the \windows\startmenu\programs directory.

Links from programs that are installed from user can be deleted

but not the links from programs that are in rom.

Houser
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Houser - can you give an example of a .lnk that you can't move?

I can delete all of them, as far as I can see... Maybe I don't understand?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Houser:
So when I change the Group entry how can I update the control panel

so that the icon is hidden immediately?

Houser
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Generally can't, control panel is loaded and stays loaded in the system AFAIK. I imagine the control panel items only get parsed on the first load or an update. Closing the control panel crashes the shell.

Perhaps there's an API to send a sytem update, I can't remember...

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Houser:
I have tried an update with:

SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_WININICHANGE, 0xF2, 0)

I have managed it now not by hiding the icons but to protect the settings

behind the icons. So a user cannot access the settings that are protected

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsember:
Hi,

Here's my story: I have a factory unlocked M9 bought in Belgium. After reading in XDA, I unlocked the loader, and install TWRP (2.8.5.0). I then made a backup and installed ARHD 5.2.

Everything worked fine, until I decided to sell my device (I live in Argentina, and although I bought the international version, it does not cover 4G band 4). So in order to sell it I wanted to wipe everything back to factory settings. I went ahead and restore my backup. Again everything worked flawlessly, but then I saw some folders in the internal storage that were not supposed to be there (such as maildroid folder, among others). So I went back to TWRP, wipe, advanced, "delete internal SD". oops, wrong choice...

I rebooted and then notices appeared "Unfortunately UI has stopped..../ unfortunately easyaccess has stoped...", losing all functionalities (no touch buttons, I had to restart every time I wanted to change menus).

I restored again the backup...no luck. I then installed again AR 5.2...no luck.

I wanted to RUU (I am not sure I know what it is, but I do know how to follow step by step guides...well at least sometimes...). my phone is S-ON. I tried installing sunshine to S-OFF, but I got the message "No SD card", so it wouldn't let me install it. in fact when I use the HTC file explorer it looks as if there is nothing in the internal storage.

I don't think I can fastboot (USB not recognized). I read that phones needed to be S-OFF ( http://xdaforums.com/one-m9/general/htc-one-m9-dump-t3060545 ), so I don't know what else to do.

I really tried all related posts but I can't find the answer....

Any help is really appreciated (of course I couldn't sell the phone). Thanks.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
A RUU is a

R

om

U

pdate

U

tility. It's a little program made by HTC to reinstall a stock firmware and/or rom on a phone that is S-ON. Depending on the build number and the CID of your phone the needed RUU is an *.exe or a *.zip.

Are you still able to enter Settings>About>Software Information>More? (Not completely sure whether these are the correct english terms. On my phone it's Einstellungen>Info>Software-Informationen>Mehr.) There you can find the build number of the installed firmware if you are on stock rom.

Otherwise you need to boot into download mode where you can find the build number (written in the line with "OS" at the beginning) and the CID of your phone. Since you never mentioned any branding and you bought the phone in Belgium I'm assuming that the CID is something like HTC__*** and that you can use a European RUU.

Next you need to download the corresponding RUU for your build number (just use Ctrl+F for easier searching) and your CID. Since the CID isn't explicitly mentioned in the RUU names you may have to search for the meaning of your phones CID (for example in a list like this one).

If the needed RUU is a *.zip then you have to rename the file to 0PJAIMG.zip (that's a zero not an O), copy it on an external sd card that is

not bigger than 32gb

and

formatted to fat32

and put the sd card into your phone. If you now enter download mode your phone should guide you through the rest of the procedure.

If the needed RUU is an *.exe then you just have to connect you phone to your pc and start the file (on windows).

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
Yes, that's right. Since there has not been an aboot update until now you can also try to install the 1.32.401.8 RUU and then update via the stock OTA function. I've done this with my phone before I got S-OFF so I know that it works. This way you can be sure that the correct version of the 401.15 firmware gets installed.
