I got the Blitzwolf Graphene single dynamic BW-ES1 from Amazon today and I am impressed.
I'm running the mic version balanced with a 3.5mm trrs to 2.5mm trrs adapter into my M1s and these $30 iems are sounding pretty great.
First impressions are:
Bass is enhanced, soft in nature with decent texture and reaches low with some air movement slam.
Mids are sounding pretty smooth with details still there.
Highs actually have shimmer, extension and decay. They sound warm and smooth and a little U shaped so far.
I am surprised by the resolution, not too shabby. Impressive width and soundstage size too.
Out of my HTC M8 they sound a bit bloomy in the low end but apart from that, decent. This Iem scales up well and has a cable that is devine. It's kinda like a Hifiman iem cable.
And Hifiman iem cables are the ones that make you wanna FAP or flick the bean over, just devine...
Stay tuned for more about these.

So I've had about 10 earphones out trying to figure this out. If I'm honest I'm not sure I've got a definitive answer.

In terms of a bassier XE800 - I would suggest either the Memt X5 or Seahf AWK-009 with the following caveats

The Memt X5 has more sub-bass but the mids are a little recessed.
The Seahf has more forward mids but it's bass is more mid than sub.

Of the two I think the Seahf is the better earphone as it has a bigger soundstage IMO. If you fancy spending less than $5 on a pair of earphones that are crackingly good for clarity try the Daono D21.

Thanks a lot! I'll definitely check them out. :)

I checked your reviews on KR49i, DM300 and Loomis' suggestion of Memt X5 and noted them. But I see that you have reviewed a lot of earphones that I have. So please tell me what would be the best choice considering:
...
3) Kz ZST is too sibilant to use.

Before you give up on the ZST, try this simple mod 1st. It makes a world of difference in correcting the sibilance.

The mod is free and only takes a few minutes of your time. A few other members have done the mod and reported excellent results as well.

With this simple mod the ZST went from one of my LEAST favorite IEMs to one of my MOST favorite IEMs. You have absolutely nothing to lose.

Can you provide a link to these? I search for Daono D21 and didn't find anything. I did find these Daono R21 IEMs: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...-Super-Bass-Headset/1951628_32608996489.html; are they the model you were referring to?

That link didn't seem to work for me it's these: -

Bear in mind they are mid/treble forward bass is fairly restrain but can be boosted via EQ.

They do look good for the price and I have a soft spot for wooden IEMs. They remind me of one of my old favorites, the VJJB K4.

Did not heard these but I know they are well regarded, Mygeek wood housing is bigger tough and have a little hole in back. Cable look better too...i'm especially impress by clarity and soundstage, and the wood housing give enough warmnest to compensate an otherwise brightish soundsignature. I'm kind of addict to this unknown gem.

I love the K4 too - small, sexy, great build quality, and nice smooth sound that's easy to listen to with any source. Sure, there's better choices for clarity, details, soundstage, etc. But they are very enjoyable for what they are, and I find myself grabbing them way more than my MEMT X5 for example.

Those VSK3s remind me of the Fidelio S2, which I've always wanted to try.

Hmm, I really can't see any similarly between the two. They do like quite a bit like the GR99 though.......
