I haven't heard of JH Layla. So I can't give opinions on that.
For the other three, I have sold Roxanne and K10. So I guess that says something
Roxanne is IMO a technically better option than K10. But K10's sound signature is more balanced and easier on the ears.
SE5 way ultimate is on par with the other two with a more natural, realistic sounding. In contrast to SE5 ref, ult has more depth, and better instruments focus. But the overall brightness is similar, depending on the songs you choose, sometimes ult is brighter, sometimes REF is brighter. The lower end of ult is slightly more forward compared to ref, specially in the lower mid region (200- 1000 Hz). I still think ref offers a vocal presentation like nothing else, with the smoothness and liquidity. ult is great with vocals too, but it can get a little bit dry on the wrong source.
I realized you didn't want a comparison between ref and ult. But hope it helps too.
Haven't share this for a long time
this chart is awesome! thanks for sharing this. I was looking for a direct comparison with the jh-16s. Looks like the se's are much better. i am contemplating the usual suspects that everyone is saying here (k10, layla, xe-6...) These are my front runner now. Looking to buy them soon
