Earbuds Round-Up

Thank you for the review. However, I'm afraid about that dark sound. I don't like it to be dark, i want it to be airy, even if it's only distortion. 
About Awei ES10, you can forget them. The more I listen to them, the more I realize that they have a bad voicing. They don't sound right, detailed, nor engaging.
Back to scratch again, I don't know what to buy. E100 were on my shopping list, but now I have some doubts.

I said they were slightly darker than the K319 which was insanely bright. I always use some bass boost on my earbuds because they always lack bass and I like a bit of warmth in the low end. You really can't go wrong with these, especially if you order from those dirt cheap asian sites. I'm very impressed with them to be honest.
 
  I've got the Baldoor Earbell E100, which is the same as Mrice E100. I would not consider them dark. I've also got the AKG K319 in my somewhat too big collection, and the K319 are a bit brighter than the E100. Bass is better overall on the E100. To me, the K319 lack depth in the soundstage and instrument separation is so so. E100 has got a better depth than the K319 and better instrument separation. So overall, I prefer the E100 to the K319. But I like the sort of dry sound of the K319 which is why I keep them. Also, they have good synergy with my somewhat digital sounding Cowon MP3 players (X5 and S9). My E100 don't go well together with my Cowon DAP:s and highs become too harsh and bright.

My biggest problem with the E100 is the fit. They are a bit too big and the earbud housing lacks a stem that can help secure the earbuds in my ears. Considering price/performance, I put the E100 on the number 1 position on my earbud list. They are not the best sounding ones, but definitely in my top 10 list. I've bought earbuds for 10 times the price of the E100 that don't sound as good...

100% agree. I don't remember the K319 perfectly other than the unmatched clarity which was perfect for trance. Fit may be an issue but at least in my case they fit well, if you're very used to earbuds you shouldn't have any problem with fit.

golov17 - I have noticed that cheap Chinese earbuds are not too far from expensive brand earbuds. I used to collect vintage Sony and Aiwa earbuds. These 20-30 year old earbuds are still amazing! But why pay $300 for something when I can get a pair of earbuds that sound almost as good for $30? Well, when collecting vintage equipment you are mostly paying for the exclusivity of owning something that has not been sold for many many years...

If I were sure to find something that beat Blox TM7, I would buy it even if it cost $100-$200. But right now I'm, happy with what I've got...

  Hi all
which best at all these criteria 
1. clarity
2. soundstage 
3. separation
 
Please give 5 option with +/-

Too much homework already

I only have one earbud, so I cannot comment, but did you read ClieOS's list? the first few that I think are still in production that mention those things - DIY Powerbeats knockoff, Creative Aurvana Air, Blox M2c, Tingo TC-100, Baldoor E100
