That's funny. I have the RY4S+ coming in the mail, ordered same day as BK2

Lol well might not wanna read my edit then.. in either way at least you'll know whether my ears work or not. But yeah if you're after basshead earbuds you might wanna look around some more. Let me know what you think of the RY4S+.

 

[snowmind]

I would say that, in general terms, the MX500's shell, due to its size, still maintains the best acoustics with good tuning possibilities. Smaller shells provide better adjustments within the ear.

"link" to taobao on the "Snow Lotus 1.0" is below, but not particularly cheap.

I think it's a great price if they're that good! ...Ordered the black ones!
Thanks, Cheers!

 

[Nimweth]

ST-10S, black/silver on the way. Should be interesting to compare with M1 pro and green ST-10.

For my country's exchange rate, the FAAEAL Official Store on AliExpress on AliExpress on the link below is cheaper.
Does it differ depending on the country?

Probably. That's actually slightly cheaper than what they sell in China. But, not by much.
I paid 65 yuan, which is 9.15 in US dollars, while 7.25 US dollars converted to yuan transfers over to 51.48 yuan. So, yes! That seller is selling it slightly cheaper.

That's funny. I have the RY4S+ coming in the mail, ordered same day as BK2

Having both RY4S plus 32 ohm and BK2, with a good source, I prefer the BK2 in most departments other than bass quantity and soundstage. BK2 for me is better in timbre, technicalities and tonality. BK2 is basslite for me (I'm a basshead), and yeah the subbass is weak, but that is quite a common issue in earbuds. Though the BK2's bass is of good quality in being tight, well textured, whereas the RY4S+ has some midbass bleed and is flabby. RY4S+ also has some occasional harsh upper mids, so female vocals can be fatiguing sometimes (depends on your music genres). BK2 is very smooth across most frequencies, hardly any sibilance or harshness.

The HE150 Pro has good bass quantity and subbass extension for a earbud. Bass quality is quite good too, but it also has upper mids/lower treble harshness, and it is also better in technicalities than RY4S+.

If u can spend a bit more, it is worth considering the RY4S 300 ohm over the RY4S+. The 300 ohm version is more balanced with overall better technicalities, soundstage and good tonality. Though it needs a well powered source.

Spoiler: !!!

If you are looking for the list of ranking, note that it has been removed from this post. But if you search online hard enough, I am sure you will find it elsewhere.

 

[Orling]

Where is the list. I have checked 3 other websites and nothing. This post got me super interested in earbuds and I might buy one.

 

[KevDzn]

The list is long gone. Too many dispute.

Damn, is there any archive of it?

 

[assassin10000]

That list would be at least 4-5 years out of date. Wouldn't be much help as many of the earbuds on it may no longer be available.

Maybe let us know what you are looking for, music or useage, source and any fit issues. Then we can possibly help you narrow down some choices.

Having both RY4S plus 32 ohm and BK2, with a good source, I prefer the BK2 in most departments other than bass quantity and soundstage. BK2 for me is better in timbre, technicalities and tonality. BK2 is basslite for me (I'm a basshead), and yeah the subbass is weak, but that is quite a common issue in earbuds. Though the BK2's bass is of good quality in being tight, well textured, whereas the RY4S+ has some midbass bleed and is flabby. RY4S+ also has some occasional harsh upper mids, so female vocals can be fatiguing sometimes (depends on your music genres). BK2 is very smooth across most frequencies, hardly any sibilance or harshness.

The HE150 Pro has good bass quantity and subbass extension for a earbud. Bass quality is quite good too, but it also has upper mids/lower treble harshness, and it is also better in technicalities than RY4S+.

If u can spend a bit more, it is worth considering the RY4S 300 ohm over the RY4S+. The 300 ohm version is more balanced with overall better technicalities, soundstage and good tonality. Though it needs a well powered source.

Is this the one? Found it in RY's AE store, but it's called GM500, so I'm not sure

I bought my RY4S 300 ohm set here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33038850404.html

There's an aliexpress sale in 2 days time, so it seems prices will be cheaper if u can wait. I heard the RY4S 300 ohm uses the GM500 driver, can anyone confirm this?

Do you think the Radsone ES100 bluetooth DAC/AMP will be able to power the Ry4S 300 ohm sufficiently?
