When you say "similar sounding" does that mean "better sounding" ?Have never used (or read much about) JBL, Skullcandy, so can't comment on that.
Beyerdynamic DTX 102ie (somewhat similar sounding to E10) is available for Rs 1699 from Amazon Fulfilled seller

Any better ones ?I am using the non-mic version of HDS1 for the last week or so. To my ears, these are the most balanced (and highly resolving of details) KZ earphones till date (I have 7 different models from KZs). It has got an ever so slight warm sound signature (more mid bass oriented than sub-bass) with near natural mids (neither recessed nor too forward) and extended treble (no harshness). Best part of HDS1 for me is, its ability to retrieve great amount of details along with ability to scale up very well depending on the audio gear used. Only area I feel it misses out is, the width of the soundstage (somewhat small/intimate).
BTW, I bought these for 6.5 US$ from ebay.
Any better ones ?

Its not for me but for someone else and mic is requirement even if it works well with good sound i would be happy, thinking of KZ HDS1It totally depends on your personal preference. Of all the KZs that I have, I prefer using ATE (smooth, laidback, wide soundstage IEMs for fatigue free long hours listening) and HDS1 (much more detailed and balanced sounding than ATE, good for critical listening) the most.
ED9 is another option from KZ that has two tunable filters which provides two distinct sounding experience (Shiny filter providing fun sounding V shaped signature while brass filter providing more neutral sounding slightly brighter sound signature).
I am not fond of EDSE's (in your link) sound, though (has too splashy treble for my liking) !
If mic is mandatory then I would suggest you to try some better brands (cheaply priced Chinese IEMs very often ends up having cables with microphone implementation that rarely lasts long). Xiaomi Piston (both 2 and 3) has got decent quality microphone with working android support or else try Brainwavz Jive (has both android as well as iOS support versions).Its not for me but for someone else and mic is requirement even if it works well with good sound i would be happy, thinking of KZ HDS1
Is this better than piston 2Looked around and see sound magic es10s is good option
