1) I think I've written some impression in the FXT100/200 thread. It's been awhile since I've heard mine, but as far as I remember, I find the 7-9Khz peak to be too much for me (this was FXT200LTD), so I sold mine.
 
2) The only difference beside the cable color is that the cable is braided with the LTD, whether that affects the sound or not, I'm not sure myself since I haven't heard the vanilla one.

The maker goes by two names "****" or "Feel Audio" and I do have them in black. They are an excellent replica of the original AKG K30003(i). They are my top 3-way hybrid. At the time I bought them here in China they were at 538 RMB ($85 US dollars). Even at $123.51 US dollars at Aliexpress they are still a great bargain!
 
PS. Red tuning port is your best bet for excellent reference and balance.

Clearhead, one more quick question about those K3003 clones. What are the shells made out of on the Black ones and do they sound as good as the Stainless version?
 
Thanx,

Super excited on these k3003 clones as well.
I can get them for around $90 USD and am wondering how does this compare to popular Chinese IEMs such as the GR07? 
Could you give us a brief description on the sound quality?

They are exactly the same; metal housing. The owner stop selling the black 3-way hybrid with the AKG logo on the back more then six months ago. Maybe because of copy rights reasons? .....Don't really know. 
 
He does sell the black ones in a single dynamic speaker type for either $39 US dollars (sometimes might be on sale). He also sells them in white.

If I can recall, I had them for over a year and a half by now and the sound quality is up-to-par with the originals when comparing both in SQ. 'Joker' wrote a review on the originals, which I would personally describe the same outcome for these replicas. If you look at my profile all my IEM's fall under these. I was wondering when these were going to sell in America. Finally, Aliexpress carries them. It's about time.
 
I could give you a quick reference on my hybrids and where they personally fall on my list......
 
(Best) AKG K3003 (3-way hybrid) (DIY by Feel Audio) -Great wide-stereo imaging and balance with sonic impact.

(Better) GranVela URBANFUN (2-way hybrid) -Excellent wide and open soundstage with deep broad bass, great mids and detailed treble.

(Good) SIDY DGS100 (2-way hybrid) -Great live soundstage when used with default foam tips.

I never bought or owned the GR07, but these hybrids are hard to beat. For example, the ED10's pretty much competes with the GranVela URBANFUN -just to give you an idea where the AKG K3003 DIY's pretty much stands at.

Kzed10 anyone got them I've just ordered some are they any good , I'm just looking for some amazing budget killers any thoughts ?

If you happen to go through recent discussion (at least last 5 pages) in this thread http://www.head-fi.org/t/698148/knowledge-zenith-kz-impressions-thread/, you will find not many have received their ED10s yet. At the same time, those who have got it already have been singing nothing but praise for ED10's SQ. 
 
Myself have ordered these only few days back hence not sure whether ED10s are budget killers or not. Saying this, as a KZ earphones user for the last year or so, I am expecting yet another IEM with great price-performance ratio.

I would say try the below thread which has got all KZ related info that you are looking for
 
http://www.head-fi.org/t/698148/knowledge-zenith-kz-impressions-thread/
 
I do not own ED3, I have got EDSe, ES, ED9, and ATE. Among these, I like ATE the most for my music preference/source gear.
