That's the same one that I have and the one that ezzony described as being "not original".

The "original" one (with supposedly better sound) should have this connector:

Well, at least they were cheap!

Don't think it's been posted in this forum, NiceHck are doing an earbud tuned by Head-Fier Mr ClieOs. Its on sale for $7.99, no images although it's not MX500 shell and will be small. Few comments in the earbud roundup thread but none delivered yet and Mr ClieOs isn't revealing much. For the money it must be worth a punt.

I love the RY4S UE earbuds and wondered if the RY4S plus mmcx has the same sound signature? I have a pair of tin Audio T2 that just don't fit comfortably in my ears. Realized Im not an IEM person but I have the mmcx cable from the T2 so I wanted find some use for it and the RY4S mmcx plus model seems like a good option. I've never read any detailed reviews except for a few people saying to go with the plus version rather than the normal version. Just want to know if the sound signature is close to the RY4S UE. thanks
I just got my Ry4s mmcx in yesterday, and I am impressed! I am using it with ISN HIFI S8 cable (a little heavy for it), and wow. I received the Ry4s 300 OHM mmcx, and it was too neutral for me; these are just wonderful. I have also recently read Sweet Ears review of the Ry4s form last year, and I would say that the mmcx sounds the same, but better because of the superior cable of the S8.

2 new arrivals this week, NiceHck B40 and RY4S UE, plus been listening to **** BK2. Honestly the RY4S are utterly mind blowing for the money, if I had to chose out of the 3 they'd be the ones, not that the others aren't good, they're great for budget buds but the RY4S depth and sparkle is immense for the money.

RY4S is so good that Im stopping my Bud quest. I just got the mmcx version of it to try with my TinAudio T2 cord since I don't use the T2 anymore(I also hate IEM and that congested feeling in your ear). Have not had a chance to try the mmcx version yet. I like to burn in all my buds for a week. Not sure if its needed or changes things but I just feel better doing it.

Yeah, after getting the RY4S I stopped my ear bud search as well. Awesome buds with great sound and quality.

Received these 3 RY4S this week:

RY4S Transparent-B

RY4S black NO Mic

RY4S UE cable black

I tested them for some time, but to me none of them sound as nice as the Edifier H180. The UE version has a different driver / signature than the cheaper ones with seemingly less bass.
There seems to be a consensus here that the RY4S is a great budget earbud, but it also seems that some people are talking about the UE version and others about the non-UE.
I'm not using an equalizer and they aren't burned in yet, so maybe that's why they sound a bit underwhelming to me.

Still waiting for a couple other earbuds to arrive (Vido, NICEHCK B40, Ollivan MS16).
