wow! nice sir Tayyab!

I'm waiting for your impression of Zen 2 (although there are already so many people reviewing it) and how does it compare to Mojito without a RA

I would call Zen 2 without RA a 'nerfed Zen 2'

I will give my thoughts on Zen 2. I wonder if they will beat Mojito. Probably not though.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated! If I figure out a good build I'll post the details and measurements in here for you guys.

No problem, but make sure you have an amp those drivers aren't that easy to drive from normal sources.

Thinking of getting an Oppo HA-2 so I can finally try some of these harder to drive buds! Any others I should look at around that price range?

Either that or just go all the way and get the MOJO.

does anyone think the the previous monks are worth $30 aud?

someone here mentioned that they have a very unique sound signature and the only ones comparable were sennheisers mx475 which here cost $45 aud...

I think you mean my post here http://www.head-fi.org/t/441400/earbuds-round-up/6690#post_12731716
So since then the situation has changes because now I own TY Hi-Z HP-32 32 Ohm and both original Monk and TY Hi-Z HP-32 32 Ohm allegedly come from the same creator "bug guy".

So yes they sound very similar. All differences are just by "a little".
Monk is a little more on the brighter side and TY a little more on the darker side.
Monk is a little more airy.
TY is a little more refined.
Monk is a little more on the "fun" side and TY is a litlle more "mature" sounding.
TY has a little better bass.

If I would have to choose the one I would choose TY.

Also build is identical:

Our master of earbuds just added a new pair in his ranking, Moondrop VX Pro, the baby Mojito.

on another note, I see Sony MDRE9LPB everywhere, are they worth anything, being of the name sony, they priced from 9 to 16 aud, just curious

also, where are the zen 2.0 on sale? just curious more than anything, as I can't find anything online

just buy TY Hi-Z 32 ohm if you want old Monk sound signature, I heard from impression they are very similar there are some people saying that TY Hi-Z are actually better than old Monk. CMIIW.

I doubt Zen 2 will beat Mojito in your ears. Different signature. Warm vs Cold. Dark vs Bright.
I think you will dislike them but let see...

IMHO they are easily worth $30-100. They beat some of my IEMs that are at least 10X expensive than the Monk.

oh no...
but well, I'll skip this time. That size is not my type and the DIY Dual driver are well enough for that kind of style I guess....

btw. I'm very happy with the AX-1 for gaming. I've put donuts on and since that never looked back

I really love that generic housing, low profile and fit perfectly in my ears even without foam
