@Martward artward I finally got my shiro Yukis in it’s surprisingly pleasant
Nice! Looking forward to hearing some thoughts on them.
My RY04 and RY4S are on the way, but It looks like my NICEHCK and FAAEAL Snow-lotus 2.0’s are delayed/rejected for shipping in China when I look at the tracking in Aliexpress.

Nice! What version of the RY4S?

Basically the black ones with the brown cable, lol
Oh okay. I got the mmcx modded plus version that has better bass. I can link it if you want @alphamarshan

Have you tried both the RY4S and RY4S Plus? How is the bass better, quantity, quality or both? Also any differences in the highs? I’m looking for something with a smooth high end and want to try fitting a bluetooth adapter to the mmcx connectors on these for when out walking.
Btw, I ended up buying the Yincrow X6 based on some of what you and Rice Guru have posted on this thread. They sound really great to my ears, nice controlled bass, warm sound sig overall and very smooth high end which I really enjoy for casual listening. I believe these are the same as the Vido’s but with a better cable - if that is the case, the Vidos really are a steal for the price!
EDIT: No need to reply, you’ve given a pretty in depth review of the Vido’s and RY4S plus’ in your post above.
I own both the ry4s and ry4s plus. the ry4s plus is just much better flat out the bass quantitiy is about the same the regular ry4s just sound a bit more metalic and compressed especially in the treble region while the plus is pretty good sounding especially sealed.

I have to say, I’m pretty let down by the FAAEAL Snow-lotus 2.0’s. I picked them up because everyone raved about the 1.0/2.0’s being “warm” with a good bass response, but all I hear is a crazy amount of treble. They sound nice, good detail, but they are just wayyyyy too bright for me.
It’s true that I’m relatively sensitive to harsh treble/sibilance and prefer a warmer headphone to begin with (kph30i’s are probably my ideal FR), but oof these are rough for me and I’m getting a headache.
Yeah that can happen have you tried double foaming them ? That will improve seal and hopefully tame treble down

I haven’t heard the KPH30i, but I believe the Yincrow X6 has a sound sig like the one you are looking for. They’re really smooth and there is no treble harshness/sibilance at all. They can be picked up for $10. As mentioned above, I’ve heard that the Yincrow X6 are just a Vido with a better cable, so you can even pick up the Vido for $3 if you don’t mind the cable.

I agree with this, though I have only tried the plus👍
So I went ahead and ordered some new buds today from Ali to go along with the VE Monk+, Philips SHE3800 and Yincrow X6 that I currently own:
- Blue Vido
- Red Vido
- FAAEAL Snow Lotus 1.0
- FAAEAL Snow Lotus 1.0+ CE
- NICEHCK B40
- Yincrow RW-9
I was tempted to pick up a few more that I have my eye on, but decided to try these for now. Particularly looking forward to trying the RW-9 since I enjoy the X6 so much, will see how they compare and if they’re much of an upgrade.

RY04 and RY4S came in today! I have to say, this little RY4S packs a nice punch; has a great bass response.
Both of these have a much more pleasing treble response than the FAAEAL Snow Lotus 2.0 for me.
Edit: The RY04 sound nice, good detail, but considerably less bass impact.

I really like the RY4S Plus 32 ohm as well and also ordered 300 ohm. I was even thinking wasted money on VE Zen 2.0 
Just wanted to thank @RiceGuru and the others in this thread, I can’t stand having IEMs in my ears and there really isn’t a good resource for earbuds…but I picked up the shiro yuki and been enjoying them for a while now!
