H185 has less mid-bass, but deeper bass depth and faster impact. So basically H185's bass has more quality and less quantity (but not lacking in any way).

This new list is great, good job ClieOS! But I have to say, it can't be complete without an analysis of at least some of the new Blox BE series buds
I have the Blox BE5 and it is almost as good as my MX985. In fact, I mostly prefer listening to my BE5s most of the time because it just has slightly better PRaT. The Sennheisers are a bit dry and too neutral but very detailed, but the BE5 is almost as detailed if not missing the mark a tiny bit, but has a touch of warmth to bring out the soul of the music. I think Woo from Blox said that the BE7 is the BE5 with just a slightly differing sound signature so they are almost the same. I haven't heard the BE3 or BE7, which most people say are amazing, but for me the BE5 leaves me completely satisfied for the time being until it inevitably breaks (which I really hope it doesn't, but it's very delicate like most Blox buds). The bass is very smooth and present. I haven't heard a bud with better bass, it isn't copious or overbearing, but it is there like full sized cans. Impressed.

ClieOs, I think you should add the apply earpods to the list. They aren't amazing, but surpriaingly good. Very comfortable as well.
I'd love to see how they stack up.

Okay, so the Earpods are covered. How about adding the Sony version, the STH30 
Try that with Earpods

Won't mind trying it out once it reaches the local Sony store.

Now that I seem to have morphed over to the dark (aka "bud") side, I think this is the thread for me! Great stuff ClieOS

Any idea where to get the BE5's? They always seem to be out of stock on the blox website which seems to be the only place to buy them, can't even get the BE3's anymore, glad I have a pair, but worried about when they die.
