Found this comparison at a local forums by MoyoCase bro. Enjoy.
just got the RY4S with dark metal braided cable
initial impression is positive. i will do a comparison with EMX500. both using thin monk VE foams
Th following sound charactistics are present and noticeable in both > what it means is that its present and not absent
the following is comparison of 2 earbuds. As a standalone each of them are good , very good for their price level .
> means Better , < lesser and = Same
Treble : RY4S < EMX 500
Sparkle : RY4S < EMX 500
Mid : RY4S < EMX500
Mid Bass : RY4S > Emx500
Sub Bass : RY4S = EMX500
Clarity : RY4S > EMX500
Layering : RY4S = EMX 500
Transparency: RY4S < EMX500
Vocals : RY4S < EMX500
Articulation: RY4S < EMX500
Musicality: RY4S < EMX500
Attack and Impact : RY4S < EMX500
Detail Reprodution : RY4S > EMX 500
Reverb / Decay : RY4S < EMX500
Soundstage
Accuracy / Positioning: RY4S > EMX500
Depth: RY4S < EMX500
Width : RY4S < EMX500
Height: RY4S > EMX500
Reverb, Accoustics: RY4S < EMX500
Ambience : RY4S = EMX500
Resolution: RY4S > EMX500
Positioning: RY4S > EMX500
Airiness : RY4S = EMX500
3D Air Space : RY4S ( More Left right, Up down ) , EMX500 = ( More forward back , deeper)
Sound movement : RY4S < EMX500
The main way EMX500 is better is sparkle , and aural / background acoustics which makes it better with more musicality and articulation due its reverb, depth and high-low articulation space. Some deficiencies in the RY4S ( a little less detail in sub bass, depth ect) makes it a little less engaging in sound than the EMX500 on certain recordings of poor source or olden style music
The EMX 500 seems to have a better depth soundstage at the expense of a little clarity in mids and bass but makes it up with Impact/attack and musicality due to its excellent sparkle airyness and sub bass extension combined with articulation. THe RY4S is almost similar but in a different way. Poor quality sources show up as poor and high quality source sound gets reproduced better. while the EMX500 does poor quality source reproduction better.
The main way RY4S is better in sound presentation being clinical and little flat or neutral / lack of colouration in the soundstage which makes it better in sound reproduction and clarity and positioning from a good clean/pure source. Its less harsh and less fatiguing than EMX500 to listen to mainly due to less distortion and slightly rolled off treble and less sparkle. However, there is enough treble and sparkle on its own. Soundstage depth is less prominent if these aspects are improved, the RY4S can beat the EMX 500
However, these sonic differences between the 2 are subtle except for the sparkle, soundstage , Impact and Attack. This may change as the RY4S gets burned in
