Looking for a warm signature wired earbud

Are u referring to a earbud or IEM?
IEMS (picture on the right) sit within the ear canal whereas earbuds are the picture on the left where the transducer doesn't really enter the ear canal.
IEMS generally have a better seal and hence better isolation and subbass, they also allow music to be played at lower volumes due to the better seal. Earbuds generally have poor isolation and subbass loss, but they have wider soundstages than IEMs.
If it is a midbass centered earbud, you can consider:
NiceHCK B40, FAAEAL Datura Pro, RY4S 300 ohm, RY4S Plus 32 ohm, SMABAT M2 Pro.
Good luck in your search!

If you can locate one, the 2018/2019 K's LB (little bell) has a very nice, warm mid-bassy sound sig that doesn't loose too much detail. Great for rock/hard rock.
May be hard to find now. You'd have to ask sellers to see which version they have, can be checked by box size (small = older 2018/2019, large = newer 2020)

I've become a fan of the KZ brand. Cheap but quality stuff. KZ ZS10 Pro will give you a warmer/bassier sound signature, but the KZ Terminator will pack more detail in without being overly aggressive. Plus, both of those have a sub $70 price tag.

I like KZ as well. The **** Bk2 is a lesser expensive option that still sounds pretty good imo. The Willsound mk2 has more sub bass, but both are warm with some solid presence in the low mids. I've owned more expensive buds. To me they usually come with more high mid presence, and veer to a more analytical sound.
I like my kz zs10 pro but i found it to be really harsh to my ears in certain songs, ita really not a pleasant experience after some time, i think im just trebble sensitive, so im trying to avoid these kind of headphones for now onI've become a fan of the KZ brand.
