the Shockwave seems to be priced quite a bit more than the LZA3 (unless I am looking at the wrong thing or there is a special pricing). that would make the A3 excellent value if they are really close.
Bettes have about 200+ hrs of burn in. Z03A only a few hours. Zs almost as good as the Bettes, damn near on its tail, Bettes edge it out in micro details. Both come with mics and sub $50. Idk if the extra $15 is worth it for the Bette but both are very good. Guess it could come down to if you prefer a single dynamic driver sound or a Hybrid sound.
LZ-A03's have come off the burner & Yep...Pretty much spot on what Twin & Paul described. These for just under or around 30 Bucks are easily the best bang for buck Ive heard & so damn close to the LZ-A2...For pittance....
KZ ATE(S) vs LZ-A03 anyone?
I am ready to pay a bit more for the LZ-A03 if it's way better but it's not made for sports as it doesn't have memory wires like ATES

Just for clarification these aren't LZ-A03 as misquoted by some, but are LZ-Z03A.
They also do have another earphone called LZ-A3 which can be seen here : http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2016-New-LZ-A3-Dynamic-and-Armature-Hybrid-3-Unit-Earphone-Top-Headphone-HIFI-Fever-DIY/32617387197.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.24.slbJEu&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_1,searchweb201644_1_505_506_503_504_301_10032_10020_502_10001_10002_10017_10005_10006_10003_10021_10004_10022_10018_9999_10019,searchweb201560_8,searchweb1451318400_-1,searchweb1451318411_-1&btsid=7c50e8e4-6197-4b25-ae7b-cdf8368325ce
TWIN, I'm anxiously waiting for your review of the S3 vs TK12...and A3 now.
While I was browsing some Japanese forums earlier (thanks to google translate), I found a spreadsheet the users put together that lists IEM's and their components... They have one tab for customs and another for universals....

It would be awesome if Easy and the other vendors would give us some information so that we could make a spreadsheet as well. That way we could have an educated comparison of the various qualities of the IEM's they are offering...
What is interesting in the spreadsheet is that some manufacturers use Sonion and Knowles drivers together...

yeah the MrZ, MusicMaker S3 (Shockwave III) it's pure class. I have a review up, TwinAcStacks just got his and a few more are on their way. It's a giant killer to put it mildly.

I think most of these Chinese shops do not have want to share that much details. They use drivers they can get, often do not use any crossovers and squeeze them in a housing.
Even the top brands that are mentioned in this table want to keep their configurations secret in the most cases. If any other company could buy these drivers, pair them up with some generic crossovers and get a quite similar sound without any development, the top brands would have a huge problem.
@Blazer39 I check eBay several times a week to see if one pops up. I'm a fan of small amps, and it's one I never got the chance to listen to much to my regret.

Sorry Twin, but I highly doubt that. Did you ever hear any of the top brand products in this price range or above? For me it just seems it is your first in-ear for such a price.
I would appreciate it if someone who owns the S3 could do a direct comparison to other models like Shure SE425, UE 900, Westone 2 or Fischer Amps FA-3. Maybe even another hybrid like the Dunu DN-1000 or DN-2000.
