RE262=RE252>>RE-ZERO
 
 
I am stil unsure which of the 2 IEMs i enjoy most , 252 or 262 as i just got both of them recently
 
Both sound great in their own way though

RE-262 >> Triple.Fi 10 > RE0 = RE-ZERO > NE-700X >/= TS02+Mic > M11P+ > M6 = ADDIEM >> UHP606 = V-Moda Vibe > M9
 
There's more that I'm forgetting but I'm fine with this list.

I posted this in another thread, and this ranking is based solely on my listening with the HM-601 as a source.
DBA-02>ER4S>ER4P>GR8>RE-0>RE-262>TF10> SE530
 
Note that the RE-262 jumps up to second out of my desktop setup, I just did not like the pairing of the 262s and the 601
