Coming from vido, should I go for graphene/docomo/ vx prio/ emx500 ?
I'm not familiar with the docomo or vx prio, but as far as the emx500 and graphenes are concerned, I'd get both. They sound different, but are both awesome in their own ways. The emx500's cable seems more robust, and they have more bass, so they will be what I use when out and about. The graphene's cable is thinner and seems more delicate, and their sound is a bit brighter and more resolving, so I'll be using them more around the home. But I'm very happy to have both.

The graphene's are brighter than the EMX500's?
I already find the EMX's a bit on the bright side (even tough I like them).

Not that they aren't risky, anyone try the Panasonic earpod style RP-TCME:
Panny have done well at some things but also crappy on some others so who can tell? May be alright.

Actually, the graphenes seem more balanced. The emx500's are more v-shaped with more forward bass and more forward highs. The graphene's highs seem more resolving and refined, but are not as much "in your face".

Can anyone compare the Yinman 600 against the Rose Maysa? I think they are my top two choices for my next bud.

If I may jump in... is there a bud that would be a significant step up from the Monk+ ? I enjoy the clarity, sparkle, and engagement of the VE but would love better imaging, musicality, and impact. Any ideas?

My only higher end buds are the VE Zen1 and Zen2. Both are amazing, but the Zen1's are most special to me. Unfortunately they are discontinued, so I don't know what to suggest and I'll have to let more experience "higher end bud" users help you out. If you want to spend <$30 though, the diy graphenes are actually rather impressive.

I think RX-1 would benefit from sub-bass to add some warmth it needs. It sounds mids forward due to lack of low end, and fairly even low to high treble. It has better textures than the Monk+ and sounds more defined, but obviously lacking bass compared to the Monk+ reducing dynamics. It's the insufficient low-end creates the vocals to sound a bit forward on the RX-1. I think the upper bass light to keep the mids more articulate. The high treble and reduction of the low-end creates a large sound stage for me. Sub-bass would create a better sound stage with ambiance feel. I like the high treble, nice extension. For me, low treble is at the right level as well, and transitions well to the high treble.

For clarity you should add a few more and choose Shozy BK. Among Shozy BK k 300 samsara and zen 2 it is the one I keep returning to.How much do you want to spend?
