RY4S MMCX PLUS
What's the difference between plus and normal?

Have you tried 300ohm version that doesn't come in plus?

RY4S MMCX PLUS

I have RY4S mmcx plus, to my ears they are not close to X6. X6 is more balance with better bass.
Thanks anyway for your response.

All, what earbuds do sound close to X6 but with mmcx or 2pin connector?

TIA
I'm interested in this as well. But I would be fine without the mmcx/2pin requirement. (maybe it helps with availability lol).

RY4S 32 ohm Plus has more bass than the non plus version.

300 ohm version needs amping as the impedance suggests, it is more U shaped than the 32 ohm Plus. 32 ohm Plus has more bass quantities and extension of bass, but the bass bleeds and isn't as tight. 300 ohm is more bass lite but has a more refined tuning.

I've seen an acquaintance however, try to use the RY4S 300 ohm for EDM, and he boosts the volume to get more bass (as EDM is bass forward mostly). At higher volumes, this boosts the upper mids and treble too (fletcher munson curve) and can cause the upper mids to be a bit shouty. So IMO, 300 ohm is more U shaped and isn't the best option for EDM or bass forward genres. At normal volumes the upper mids are very well behaved and not shouty or fatiguing.

If you are looking for a sound quality close to X6 to that level, it would be best to buy a cheap RY4S MMCX and replace its Driver with X6's. Only soldering skills are required.

Is that different from just modding the X6 with a mmcx connector?

Modding the X6 shell with a mmcx connector will be required with special tools (hand drill/drill bit/tap).
I meant if the sound will be the same since both are using the same driver and shell (mx500)?

No, it would be much harder. You risk damaging both pairs of drivers. RY store use very strong glue.
Another thing to know is that these silver shells are a cheap copy of the Tingo model and many of them have a problem with peeling of silver acrylic paint.
Also, many of them do not have a "lip" that holds the driver (case with Tingo TC400 gold and red) so glue must be used
BTW ... original Tingo shells are very unique. See this post and translate description from taobao link below

Hi-Fi End HE150 Pro is "V-shaped" and known for it's bass extension.
The HE150Pro is one of my favorite models that I often recommend, after OG HE150 (MX500 version) which was unfortunately discontinued.
Sub-bass is what this model is known for. They also have smooth trebles.
I would rather say they have a U shape sound signature :wink:

on a separate note, I have a KBear Stellar w/ mic inbound. I'll review it when I get it and of course measure and build compensation files for it, if needed.
I've also got one coming in. Should arrive by the 27th or later.

I had two Yincrow X6s, so I made one of them MMCX compatible including the shells.
As a try I switched to a balanced cable to be balanced them, and an OFC cable to clean up the treble than original's, which was interesting to me.
But the silver-plated cable is too crisp and doesn't fit the X6.

Now when you mentioned balance cables, silver-gold TRN balanced cable fits RY4S Plus very nicely
For less than $20 this is a pretty good combo

These free Oppo buds are actually nice. Never seriously listened when I got them with my Oppo Reno 4, but that was a mistake. Reminiscent of the Airpods, similar but not the same (vents and the nozzle-like vent). Fits very comfortably for me. Easily the best bass out of my earbuds due to the perfect seal.
