Hi goldenSHK,   here you can find a short comparison of the H180, H185 and the Tomahawk/Toneking. Don't know about the H190 though (=

Hi all,   have the H185 and the Tomahawk for testing since a week. Wanted to share a more detailed review, but for now a short one :).   In short, the H180 has the deepest and hardest bass, while the H185 has more resolution. And more clarity and extension in the higher frequencies.    The...

Hmm very interesting. Seems to be a production issue then.

The Tomahawk under the new design (Toneking) also started buzzing in deeper bass responses in the left channel after few days of listening :/   The good build quality is only optically as it seems.

  Ok :). Coming to the H190, according to ClieOS, it is a little better to his taste, but more than twice as expensive. If you look into his ranking, the H185 gets the highest ranking and only costs 2-3$ more than the H180. Ordered an H185 few weeks ago, it has not arrived yet, but will report...

Hi golden SHK,   ok thanks for clarification. Have you also tried out those earbuds with conventional gear like a smartphone or tablet? I have compared the Monk with the H180 and the E100 earbud and came to the conclusion, that Monk has some bass but is far away from covering the frequency...

Hi goldenSHK,   thanks for your list and the treble/mids/bass-ratings! :)   Question: You rate the bass of the Monk 1.0 as jaw dropping. Is your source and amp section increasing the low-ends so intensly? To my experience the Monk's are lacking in the lower end very much. To better...

  Thanks Lee! :) Yes Google translate is unreliable when it comes to precision :P     Ok, then have to order some as it seems :D

Thanks Aornic for the funny review :P   Interestingly, the Asian review on the link places the old Monk higher in regards to mids and highs and says, that the bass is better on the Plus.   Sounds like one needs some amping power and the foams to get the bass back. As an addition, you have...

  Thanks ClieOS for the update! :)   Obviously the ranking is also a matter of taste, but it gives a good hint especially in regards to the category.   Happy listening :)

Thanks golov17 for the reply.   Also thanks to Aornic for the first comparison. In that case will continue to stick to the Edifier H180 :P But for reasons of support for Lee and his work, would try out the Monk+, especially the expansion kit is very tempting!   Also a BIG vote for a bass...

Hello all,   due to the increased impedance, will the bass suffer on 32 Ohm outputs with the Monk Plus?   @golov17   how would you compare the bottom range to the previous Monk with and without amp? :)   Thanks all,   will order at least one expansion set Monk Plus to have those nice...

  Update: @ClieOS , @music4mhell and @ others   Did a review in the Monk thread, comparing it to the Edifier H180 and the Mrice E100 earbells. ClieOS you said, you would position the Monks under The Good. The earbells are under The Great. It would be interesting to know where you would place...

  Too loud music in the clubs over the years have increased the sensitivity here, therefore yes, I do not seem to push the volume as much anymore :P

          Hi all, thanks for your responses. Here the reasons for continuing with the first unbalanced Monk unit:   Had listened to it for more than a week with all kind of sources, music, youtube, movies and so on. By this they were burned in to a good degree. Additionally I...
