  these will be included in the coming Monk Expansion Package~

Ooh, get hype. Any idea about price/when it will be available?

Haha, I just got a set of rubber rings from the UK from a Sennheiser spare parts store. I'll gladly get the monk expansion package though. I bought a bunch of monks and an Asura only a week or so ago too! i'll just have to order extra monks...
 
PS I like the name of the package. Anyone else think of this when they saw the name, though?

hats off to Master Lee everyone!
thank you for all those moments with my favourite music filtered by the magic of the Monks!

Need some advice - I ordered three pairs and have listened to two of them so far. They sound completely different. The first one is nice and full, but the second one has no body to the sound and has a much brighter, thinner sound. I wouldn't have a problem with the first one, but they are unbalanced; the bass/low mids are much louder on the right side than the left. This seems too inconsistent, what should I do?

Did you try to contact with Lee (the seller) about your problem?

You cannot really know how good your Monk until you pair them with an 75ohm adapter cable. I will repeat this as much as I can because you Monk owners are seriously missing something!

And what exactly does it do to the sound quality ?

Adds more sparkle and extension on bass and treble. Makes the vocals clearer with more airy presentation. Also slightly improves the soundstage. If someone here ever listened ER4P and ER4S, Monk with 75 ohm sounds like an ER4S.

@ozkan where I can buy the 75 ohm adapter with paypal?

I dont really like the idea of the cable changing the sound quality beside from the noise filtering factor as it increase the resistance

What is Monk Expansion Package?
What items are included?
Who is Selling (VE or 3rd Party)?

I'd like to try it, why not. The trial would cost peanuts. I'm thinking of getting some 75ohm resistors and attaching each in series with the two channel lines. If intrigues me I may go for a real product. 
 
I spent some time thinking about effect of a series resistor on sound, since @ozkan started posting impressions about the impedance adapter. IMO the added depth of field, neutrality and detailed highs are all effect of 'starving' the driver. It's not difficult to assume that a power starved driver would somewhat attenuate low freq response (because it requires most diaphragm movement,  hence more power). 
 
I may be wrong though, just my 2 cents on this.

  Wow.. ! Hello Lee nice to meet you. 
Super excited about Monk expansion package. I've been frantically searching for those rubber 'adapters' or whatever those are called. 

wait, what is this Monk expansion package people talking about? :O
