What chinese iems are recommended right now? I've tested soundmagic e10, es18 and kz-ed se, i like the kz-ed se and i would like to ask if there is anything newer that outperforms this model in a similar price (~10-20usd)? I listen mostly to electronic music but i don't want something focused only on bass, i like bass but i also like when it's not the only thing i hear (i'm using takstar pro80 on my pc with bass boosted a bit and trebble lowered just so it doesn't hurt my ears in some songs).
I've tried to find good iems but there is so many options to choose from i just don't know which ones are the best.

If the KZ thread is anything to go by, the new KZ models outclass the edse, the ED10, ATE, and ED9, all of which with different sound signatures. The ED10 is the in thing right now, with a V shape and deep sub bass.
 
If you go up to 35 usd the Tenore will probably destroy everything but it has a poor quality wire.

  I just can't get into the Zircons. They sound very good with EDM, and that's about it. They fall flat on their face playing metal or anything complicated. The bass levels are too lifted. Cymbals and guitars are soft to the point that they feel dropped off and lacking detail. It's like listening to music through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier. Bassy with growl, but lacking detail.
 
I would probably enjoy the Bette hybrids more.

OH GOD Hazard.... You're an Audiophile.  You will LOVE the Bettes. I only bought the 10mm based on their somewhat larger frequency range. Don't worry, they look huge in the Photos but they are quite small. A little smaller than an EDSE Body length and a little Larger in diameter but just a tad. But they are Built like they look. To survive a nuclear blast.
 
I also listen mostly to Trance so the Zircons are PERFECT.

To me the ED10 is at the Top of the food Chain and CLOSELY followed by my second favorite, EDSE. The ANV is stellar and really the audiophile-most EQ and Sound, BUT they are ungodly uncomfortable for me Personally. The ATE is very smooth and a Tad Darker than the rest, but great for long period listening.

I'll tell you Which is better of Rock and Yinjw IE800 after a few days. If you are not a basshead, I believe Yinjw is better from those comments on Rock.

  Yinjw IE800 and DIY IE800 are same, right?
I found 2 sellers on aliexpress selling YINJW IE800 and bunch of sellers selling DIY

Many DIY IE800 on aiexpress. You should seek Yinjw's.

So, basically both of them are identical?
 
I'm gonna try both Zircon and DIY IE800 then

Zircon's are a beast in soundstage and depth. Ruizu X02 pairs very sweet together with the Zircon's....I myself use it often with my Ruizu. I've listen to many "DIY" ie80 and ie800's, but the Zircon's are a different beast!
 
.....got to get one, or you'll never know what you're missing. Right now they're on top of my food chain (sort of speak).
