Earbuds Round-Up
Apr 14, 2019 at 11:24 PM Post #41,375 of 75,139
I was reading reviews and posts and was a bit confused about some earbuds. Can someone please rank below earbuds or define them based on sound signatures.

TY Hi-Z
Yincrow X-6/RW-9

You need to start with benchmark earbud/s that most users would have heard here. IMHO, there's no better starting point than the very cheap and quite capable Vido. After that, you can describe which sound direction you would like to go. The recommendations should then be more accurate to your listening preference from then on.

Is it better than others in the price ranger like VE Monk, TY Hi-Z, Yincrow X-6 or RW-9, EMX 500 or RY4S

Personally I'd rank the RY4SUE higher than all of the ones you list aside from the RW-9 which is very close for sure. The RW-9 has a slightly thicker, more bass emphasized sound while the RY4SUE I'd describe as a little more airy and open...

It is not always a matter of better or worse.... just different. I like all my earbuds... everything is in my list but please do not ask me to compare each one to each of the others... lol. That would take a few years!

Read it, good review.
I think i will start with some cheap one and then move higher. Would definitely like to own one some day

I agree with these comments, only that my preference is the other way around, I like the Yincrow RW-9.

I am thinking of starting with Vido and RY4S
Is normal RY4S much different from RY4SUE

Just received my Smabat ST-10 today! :)
Just had the time take 3 photos before returning to work (sorry for the quality, they are unmodified)

Early impression in one word: STUNNING !

(listened them quickly OOTB with my NiceHCK pure silver cable and my usual extreme thin foams / picture below)
