Pleomax PEP700,760,970: they all have a very good bass presentation: a thick, warm, vintage sound like an old tube radio. Junior is good for speech programs, television, radio, and so on. The average model has mid-range has a forward, with bright sources of bad, but with the dark, on the contrary, very good. The older model is the most balanced of the three, and it is best for SQ. It's not boring, successful acquisition, IMHO.

Similar to Edifier H180? What about their highs (I found they are slightly rolled off in H180) and soundstage?

I've never tried the H180.
 
I will say the highs are rolled off a little early giving it a fun overall sound without being fatiguing.  
Soundstage is very decent, along with good instrument separation. For $6 USD or less, these are quite awesome little earbuds IMO.

Similar in that they're both heavily oriented around the lows, maybe. But I think the H180 is better in almost every way. If you think the H180 has rolled off highs (sounds v-shaped to me), you're not gonna like the ES10

. like bloodypenguin said, highs are rolled off, but to the extreme imo. What the ES10 does have though is gobs of bass. Extends much lower than the H180, which has more of a mid-bass emphasis. But that's about it. Detail wise, there's no contest.

Thanks @BloodyPenguin and @rymd

... I know I'm maybe asking for too much, but are there any earbuds then on the market with Awei bass and more extended highs than H180?


I'm thinking the new VE Monk might solve all those needs once it comes out very soon.
