I don't think so although both are 10mm.  What you linked to has single vent holes around the circumference of the driver shroud.  This picture of the newest VSD3s shows a completely different shroud with multiple vent holes.  It's also not fully domed but rather a very deep pie pan like shape with a slightly recessed flat bottom.

 
The render is rather dreams of vsonic designer i think...

I broke my vsd3 non-detachables around this time last year. I currently own a pair of beyerdynamic t-51i and kz-ed 10. I miss the emphasized treble and tight bass on the vsd3. I would like to purchase the new vsd3s *third gen since my kz-ed 10 are having audio cut-outs at the jack, but unfortunately the vsd3 body doesn't really fit in my ear. 
 
any alternative iem recommendations?
 
*I listen to a lot of bass biased music, like a strong treble, and soundstage is really important to me.

Havi B3 Pro1.

  Havi B3 Pro1.

With a little bass boost. I don't feel it fully works for bass-centric music without it. Definitely still good though and a fantastic IEM overall.

whats your price range?
 
a similar sound to the vsd3 (i have the vsd3s, mind you).
 
hm... have you considered the vsd1 (i haven't heard it myself though) but it was considered a mini gr07 and it could be an option if you like wearing them cable down.
 
another consideration brainwavz s5? which has a similar sort of bass response, and the midrange is a bit more laid back

My VSD3S seems to have this hissing noise in the background.
Is this normal or should I just return this?

It could be the output ohms of your dap

Fiio X1 claims to be able to run 16 to 100 ohms, but I don't know a thing about specs. Care to enlighten me?

The vsd3 is sensitive. It's 24ohms. Which is pretty close to the bottom floor. You can buy cheap ohm adapters. To raise the ohm on the vsd3 or you can buy an amp that will have a cleaner and lower output.

Can anyone post some pics of the updated build quality version please? All the pics online are pretty obviously done on a computer

 

[yacobx]

After 100 hours of burn in i actually feel the vsd3 is better. I have both.

well. i was all set on lendmeurears and was finally going to pull the trigger on the gr07be and then the new vsd3s happens. subbed for more impressions from people that had the old vsd3s...

well in all likelihood the gr07be is still a great bet
 
its still my favorite earphone (you can check my profile to see all the iems I've tried/owned)
 
and its still a community favorite so you can't really go wrong
 
also its unlikely the vsd3s would eclipse the gr07
 
the older vsd3s was great but not gr07 great!
 
I was a huge fan of the vsd3s mind you
 
the vsd3s is anything like the old one, it should be a great bargain
 
I wish it would change its name to like vsd3s 2.0 or 2016 or something to better distinguish (via text) between the new and the old one
 
oh well

I can't quite remember, the VSD3 uses an MMXC connection, right?  If so, http://penonaudio.com/FIDUE-A83-2.5-3.5mm-MMCX-Cable might be an interesting toy to play with.
