That ranking is just my subjective personal opinion and others might not agree, as stated in big red letters in the
thread I posted that list.
Personally I'm a sucker for soundstage and sub-bass that goes to the lowest octave. That's why I personally rank the RE0 the way I do. Others might have other preferences and come to a completely different conclusion. If you look at where I rate the ER-6 in that list, I'm wondering I didn't get any death threats already.
This being said, the RE0 are very nice sounding phones, as stated in the (objective) front page review on ABI. They belong up there with the big boys, no doubt about it.

I'm sure MVW2 is trying to be as objective as me in his review. However, people's ears are different and might perceive some aspects differently. For example, the "S-Logic" soundstage thing on the Ultrasone phones doesn't do anything for me at all, I'm finding other closed cans by Beyer or Senn to have a better soundstage for my ears.
With the Phonaks it's not that they're extremely much wider than the RE0 (well, no IEM is, we're talking about phones that don't interact with the important anatomical parts in the outer ear for soundstage), it's only a bit wider to my ears, but the soundstage appears to be more accurate to me. On the PFE I can pinpoint instrument positions more accurately than on the RE0.
