Rock Zircons just failed on me. One side can only be heard. The headplug connector is not resistant enough for the braid cable to bend. Anyone have the same problem? Compared to Rock Zircons, how's the Birchwood DZAT DF-10?

Same here mate. Mine lasted for about a month.

  What about QKZ DM3 ,  i think they are the best under 10$ , better than ATR 

I have the QKZ DM3, they have good sound quality, but the bass is pretty overwhelming and L shaped. I put felt tips on to make them more reasonable, but still don't use them much.

So you don't recommend me to buy them?

Only if you want a cheap bass heavy IEM with good build quality. They are even more bassy than the Rock Zircon.

Let's say , under 10 $ is something better? Like atr?

YHC S600 is pretty good. Worth consideration for sure.

Carlton what about you ?

B9Scrambler how they are vs atr/ate?

I don't have the standard KZ ATE or ATR or ED7 yet, ordered all 3, but the ZS3 and ED9 might be my top <$10. ED10 is most comfortable and up there too.

The ed7 has the similar soundsignature of the ATE but little bit better.

 

[tw1s]

why ? it means what ed7 is better than ed9 which is worse than ate ?

Is your opinion of the large or small ED7 version? I haven't heard anyone with both, and my guess is that they would sound different. I ordered the small, and don't think I've seen anyone comment that they have the small ED7.

They're completely different than my ATEs which are somewhat mid-biased with treble and bass roll off. My ATE sounds similar to the HDS1, but with a much, much larger soundstage. The S600 has a nice big soundstage too (for such a cheap earphone) with more prominent treble and bass making for a more exciting listen. The low end is a little loose, but it's pretty fun. Good balance between mid and sub-bass a well which I appreciate. Not sure which I like more given how different they are. They both scale pretty decently as well. Very different earphones but both are solid. Build on the S600 seems better, cable in particular. Don't have my ATR yes, so no comment there.

Letv Reverse are pretty solid and are $10 on Amazon. They were like $5 on LeMall last week
