China factory is world's factory. Many good IEM. But you can not pick the nice one from thousands goods.

Yeah since VSonic, Havi, and TTPOD are the only companies producing audiophile caliber IEMs nowadays. Ok Fidue too, but those are really spendy.

I'd nominate Ostry also.  I think their offerings are excellent!

VSD3 and GR07 are both very comfy. Before my VSD1 broke I could sleep in it all night with no issues.

Alright, here is my review of HZSound HZ-EP001 headphones, available @ http://penonaudio.com/HZSOUND-HZ-EP001
 
Actually, the full write up is posted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/accessories/review-hzsound-hz-ep001-ear-headphones-t2936440 while I'm just going to paste below my sound impression (after 12hrs of burn in) and eye-candy pics.
 
------------------------
 
HZ-EP001 are warm, smooth, and have a little v-shaped sound signature.  Low end extends down to a moderate level of sub-bass with a punchy mid-bass which spills a bit into lower mids, though it doesn't make it bloated but rather adds thickness to a full body sound.  Mids are smooth and warm, a bit recessed but still clear.  Treble is also smooth with some roll off.  Their lack of brightness makes sound less detailed but it still has enough clarity.  Soundstage has an average width/depth.  Also, I found it to sound good with any source, and amping was not necessary.
 
Everything from a design and a build quality to an included headphone case has a premium feel above its sub $25 price. Sound signature is not necessary suited for a detailed analytical listening, but has a nice warm, smooth, full body fun sound with a decent amount of bass that works great with EDM, pop, and rock music.

Beautiful pictures and write-up as always @twister6. It may sound silly but are they nearly as good as IM50? How are the vocals on them? I just loved the look of  HZ-EP001.
 
For their lack of brightness you can remove the filters anytime lol

Indeed, they look very good and have a very comfortable (at least for my taste) fitment.  As others pointed out, reminds you of DITA Answer.  I know, that filter is looking right at ya asking to be removed!!!  I might have to try it out removing it tonight, though my wife already claimed these so she can get it before my kids lol!!!
 
But even with filter removal, I don't think they are going to match the refinement of IM50 and its vocal delivery, ATH set a very high standard.
