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

..

Thanks again, I'm following VE thread waiting for Monk first impressions as well as retail Asura final sound.

... 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?

Maybe, but I don't know of any. I have not heard the Monk (though looking forward) and don't know how it's supposed to sound. If it's going to be like the Asura/Zen, then maybe. My beta Asura sure has Awei level bass, but in much higher quality. The highs may not be as extended as you like though.
 
The closest thing I can think of is the E100, which has bass as extended as the Awei, but without the emphasis or boom. A bit less quantity than the H180 also, but not at all bass light. And its highs are fairly extended, also more detailed than the H180's.

Thanks for your detailed reply.
 
I think I'll have fitting problems with E100, so I'll wait for Monk and see what it can deliver. I'm also interested in Ostry KC8 that should be released soon, they look really nice, but I dont have any clue about their sound signature.

Retail asura is tuned differently iirc

Me too. I really like the kc06/kc06a iems, so I have high hopes for the kc08 earbud.

Me too bud. they kind of dropped off the radar, no updates since January.

Something Ostry KC08 muddy history now do not respond to emails, and in the net from a page in Chinese, KC08 disappeared. However, on english language versions of a page is, without specifics. I hope to release them on sale, maybe..

My opinion on bass earbuds: VE beta Asura ≥ VE beta Monk > Pleomax PEP970,700,760 ≥ AWEI ES10

 

[BloodyPenguin]

Nevermind..

 

[jincuteguy]

Anyone interested in buying the Zen? PM me.

 

[golov17]

Got both new VE Asura and new Blox M2C. It is immediately clear that the headphones are outstanding. Very satisfied. Now burn them

 

[golov17]

Asura wins, IMHO

 

[RedJohn456]

anyone know when is the new blox flagship coming out? What would be the best place to get them?
