Did you try it with the new Monk+ Foam (spongy) covers? Don't own the Zen 2, only asking because those foams add a nice bass without subduing the highs, nor affecting the clarity. Use 2 of them per side with my original Monk and it's awesome, highs don't seem recessed at all comparing to the original doughnuts and the Hiegis! Really love it!

No. I bought my pair of Zen 2 before Monk+ was released. I tried full foams, donut foams and silicone rings (from Sennheiser MX980). Silicone rings worked the best even if they slipped off from time to time.

Still I had to boost upper frequencies a lot to get a sound that was somewhat balanced (usually I only boost lows up to around 80Hz to compensate for the lack of isolation on earbuds). I used a FiiO E11 and Cayin C5 to power the Zen 2. Also tried them from my desktop computer.

Ended up trading them for a pair of Zen 1 and those I liked from the first second...

Why? Where's the list?
It helped me a lot in past, even till now?
Is it beacause there's some people here sometimes disagree with the rank or something?
I think we all have our own champion for bud, but for a nearly-complete list like clieos made is really something

I just heard rumors that Seahf is already developing a 500 Ohm earbud. Oh man.....!!

Old list is still here http://www.inearmatters.net/p/earbuds-roundup.html with this disclaimer "Important: All postings are my own personal opinion only and should not be treated as absolute truth. I do get things wrong just like everyone else. Always do your own research!" so I hope everybody understood how to use the list.

Too bad. I checked the list out as late as yesterday. I've never seen it as carved in stone and an absolute truth. It's just ClieOS personal ranking. And I happen to agree with a lot of it but not everything (for example, I find Hisoundaudio Living to be atrocious with it's razor sharp highs).

By the way, ClieOS, the the link to the list on In ear matter should be added to the first post. Some of us still want to use it as a reference...

By the way 2 - I want to see a 1 ohm earbud. Or at least an 8 ohm one...

EDIT: the list on In ear matters is a bit old. The one in this thread had a lot more updates.
