The Best Earbud on Amazon Canada
Pros: Full sounding, good mids, deep bass, big soundstage, flush fit, available on amazon. Best earbuds I've tried so far.
Cons: Mid-bass is slightly bloated, treble a little plastic sounding compared to other earbuds, not the most durable.
There's not much to say about the H180's, there's a few downsides like a slightly bloated mid-bass and a treble that's a little plastic sounding. However after 10-15 minutes of listening my brain adjusts to it, and when switching off to other earbuds I end up liking the H180 much more. True, the cable is very reminiscent of 2010 standard earbud cables, but they're not bad, they just don't feel durable. Also the cables attached to the earbud don't feel very secure, a decent yank will most likely destroy these earbuds.

They're not the most durable, but if you want to ever use these to sleep on your side with, the H180's would be it, they sit flush and don't stick out like most earbuds.

The full sounding nature of these and the way it presents music makes me play these at lower volumes. Earpods, airpods, nicehck b40's in comparison I tend to increase the volume on as they sound leaner and don't present as much bass as I'd like. True, I do

These also isolate sound a decent amount when playing music. I don't exactly want to shut myself out in the office if someone calls me, but people speaking around me are instantly drowned out.

So yes, buy the H180's, white or black; whichever one is cheapest.

Hey, thanks for replying to my review. I buy a lot of earbuds. I think I'm at the 30 mark. The only earbuds I've found to be a side-grade or even a slight upgrade to the H180 is the Nicehck ME80, but those are not available anymore.

I'm actually going to buy my 3rd pair (my brother has the 2nd one) with a microphone so I can finally ditch my earpods at work without having to switch between my earpods for calls and h180's for music. Bluetooth TWS still sucks for calling and headphones are too bulky.

Hello there,

Did you managed to upgrade H180? Wire is failing a lot now and I would like to see if I can buy something better or just buy the same again. I tested some earbuds but none seems to have that bassy sound that H180 has (and I love).

Hehe... There's nothing better, believe me. I've tried dozens and dozens of earbuds to no avail. The H180 is like the Koss, cheap and amazing; just buy another one.

Pros: The best bass on an earbud I have heard till date. Excellent natural mids and sparkly highs.
Cons: None
Dont let these tiny guys disappoint you by looks. Plug them in and you wont believe your ears. These are that good, It sounds like large over ear headphones. I have owned many earbuds like Sennheiser
MX-170, MX-270, MX-580, Tingo TG-38s and for IEMS I have owned TTPOD T1e, JVC HA-FXT90, Sony XB90ex and Yamaha EPH-100 and believe me these tiny earbuds blow all of them out of the water. You can hear the bass rumble like on Sony XB90ex, but with less quantity. The mids are Euphonic and Highs are above average. The best part is the instrument separation and soundstage, best of them all. You can hear every instruments like jigsaws falling in to places all with a great 3D imaging. Overall excellent value for money and average build quality.

Pros: sound signature likely almost similar with grado
Cons: its earbud, some people call it bloated bass
very good bass, deep bass, but maybe due to some people that love vocal its a bit bloated, but to basshead this item won't dissappointed you. the detail is superb while you can have your "true" bass come out in every respect. Dam dung bugh the sound of guitar bass and bass drum is indeed in here, "true" bass to me
