The base response on these are better, though getting accustomed to the unusual shape and finding the right fit/position for these takes some trial and error

But the shape is extremely uncomfortable because of the sharp edges and they really hurt my ears

I really wish they didn't give them such harsh shape

Nonetheless thought I’d see if KZ has outdone themselves with the KZ KZ5.The soundstage on the KS5’s are much improved from my ATE’s... far more clearer and crisper than the ATE
