The Zircon's are indeed a great earphone, probably the Best I've run into from a Price/Performance level. However they DO have genre-specific limitations. Their Bass, While EXCEPTIONAL for Trance and EDM is a Tad slow for Speed METAL. I find them Stunning for Classical and Jazz as well.
 
My NEW #1 is However: IS ABSOLUTELY the Bette (F3) 10mm. I can't begin to describe how layered and Balanced it's signature is.
 
I've posted my thoughts in detail on a couple other threads.

My LG G3 is a boss in terms of music playback. Sound as good to my ears as many popular DAPs


Seriously? My buddy has LG G3 with Beats Solo2, and he was shocked about the sound he was getting after I flashed Dolby Atmos + Arkamys on his phone. Before that, it was very generic sounding, and rather quiet.

Thought my ED9 had died already in one driver but for some reason my Macbook Air volume was slammed to one side away hidden in preferences. Weird !

At first i thought it was a little Bright for my tastes, (I prefer warmer), But after listening to it for almost 8Hrs. Fri Night I concluded: it isn't BRIGHTNESS per se It's DETAIL.
 
Some May say a mild V for EQ, but I think they are almost flat and balanced.
 
JMHO mind you.

Igor I don't think they are less expensive than $43 USD anywhere, (they were originally +$70). UNLESS you Try the Smaller 8mm Version which is getting very good reviews. Here are links for Both:
 
From the ORIGINAL Manufacturer Store, BTW

I also realize it's not a fair comparison single to multi Driver and pricepoint BUT who would be in a better position to make an assessment? I own 2 Pairs Of the Zircons and the 10mm bettes.
 
OH, and now thanx to your link, I have a Pair of the Mula's on the way.

You're a funny guy XD Yeah ROCK definitely earned my trust with their first earphones. Let's hope their second won't disappoint.

From the Pic It almost looks to be the Same Driver in a different body. Do they say what the body is made of?

It looks like it by the pictures, but let's remember that this driver is 9mm (vs 8mm of Zircon), it's input power is 3mW (vs 1mW of Zircon) and rated power of 5mW (vs 3mW of Zircon), so I'm expecting a true bomb here, no less.
 
Love how Zircon/Rock has taken over this thread, haha. Twin or one of you other guys need to make an appreciation thread for those beauties! I would do it, but well, I don't own em yet, lol.


+1 for the ROCK Earphones thread. If Knowledge Zenith has one, I think ROCK definitely deserves one! It took KZ until ED10 to reach well-deserved recognition around here, but it only took the Zircon for ROCK to reach that recognition. :)
You definitely should get the Zircon, I just ordered a spare one if anything ever happens to my current ones since I'm using them daily.
