Hey everyone!
I'm interested in getting some IEM's for ~$25 (or less, of course). Please let me know of any good ones that I should look into. Please note, in-line controls are pretty much a must for me, but a microphone is not needed. Also, it must be available on Amazon.
My current options are [no particular order]
1) Symphonized NRG 3.0
2) DZAT DF-10
Thanks in advance to everyone who helps me out!
UPDATE: I've narrowed it down to TWO!

You should include more information in your Title, like what you want to buy and your price range. Why only these options? I am actually looking for something similar and have tried a lot of cheap IEM's sadly all of them sounded like old AM Radios (an overstatement to get my point across).

I have the KZ ie80s they soundstage is huge and clarity and vocals are good.

LG quadbeat 3 are also a good choice

Look into the **** 4 in 1.

I'm looking for Amazon deals... :/ (I should mention that in the OP)


Rock is good choice and they have the zs3 on Amazon I think.

I've tried the e10c
Kz ate
zs2
zs3

All of them are bested by the dzat 10 Red wood version in my opinion.
The soundstage and musicality is better.  The bass is a little less present but it's there.
The KZ sometimes bloats those low frequencies.

And the Dzat kills them all in soundstage
Not in isolation though. 
 
Hope that helps!
