Softears RS10 Headphones - In Ear Monitors The RS10 is a reference IEM with 10 balanced armature drivers. To my ear, they have a neutral tuning with hard-hitting (but still balanced) bass. They offer by far the most detail and resolution of any transducer I've experienced - IEM, headphone, or speaker. Here's Headfonics: The RS10 is a supremely detailed and largely neutral or reference-sounding monitor. ... Married to that impressive bass wallop is a clean and articulate midrange presentation with a slight Harman-esque upper-mids elevation. On top, a tastefully tuned treble that extends well
This is an ambitious ask. Against your AUD comps, A$1,950 sits well above the 75th percentile of A$1,161 and far over the median A$336, so it is priced at a big premium to the recent used market rather than as a normal buy.
The upside is that this is a genuinely high-end, well-regarded reference-style IEM with very strong detail, a neutral-leaning tuning, and flagship-level resolving ability, so the appeal is real if you specifically want that presentation. But at A$1,950, the value case depends heavily on condition, completeness, and whether it includes the full original package; without something exceptional there, this looks more like a premium trophy listing than a sharp used deal.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Softears is a Chinese audio brand founded in 2017, based in Shenzhen, and it emerged from a research-driven background rather than a long legacy consumer-audio lineage. Available reporting suggests the founder had already been active in the audio industry before launching the company, and some accounts link Softears closely with Moondrop through shared R&D and manufacturing resources, though the brands operate independently.
The brand is best known for in-ear monitors (IEMs) and related high-performance earphones, including both universal and flagship models. Its catalog is centered on premium portable listening rather than broader hi-fi categories such as amplifiers, speakers, turntables, or DACs.
In the market, Softears sits in the niche boutique / high-end IEM segment. It has built a reputation for technical tuning, careful engineering, and polished build quality, with a particular following among serious earphone buyers in China and the wider enthusiast community. It is not a mass-market brand; its appeal is strongest among listeners looking for refined, modern audiophile IEMs rather than traditional full-size hi-fi components.
