I really would be interested in one of these, but i can;t find any place to buy it. Anyone has an estimate until we can see it again on sale?

I'm afraid that the VE Monk will be discontinued soon, so I bought myself a pair of VE Monk from local dealer

First impression is excellent, way better than my KZs (ATE, EDR2, ANV) :basshead:  Listening for long period does not cause discomfort or fatigue

An excellent choice for under $10   I love VE Monk more than my Hifiman RE400, gonna compare them to the Baldoor E100 (1st version, Mrice sucks ))

Mrice e100/better, than Baldoor e100, lol

I'm curious how one is quantifiably better than the other.

In my samples so

There are 3 versions of E100
1. The 1st ver is the one with white package, prism box(this is the one with good reviews, hypes, ...

)
2. The 2nd ver with black package prism box (worse SQ than 1st ver)
3. Mrice E100 (mixed feedback, Ok for the price)

my Baldoor was with white triangular box and Mrice in a rectangular white.

Good or meh SQ, I could not get any fit with them, how much I wanted it! Tried everything. Monks might be less sq-wise, but they at least fit like any other earbud

Try to wear over your ears like custom IEMs. That might work.

Are they too big or too small for you?

Cant put my finger on that.. the Monks are not much bigger/smaller are they?

Does anyone have any recommendations for replacement foam/rubber covers? I remember seeing some posted, but can't seem to find them.

If you can find Sennheiser foams I highly recommend those. They will offer up a nice balance of the stock foams (bass) and donuts (treble).

Anyone got monk burn-in routines?
i try to leave them playing from my desktop's headphone out jack whenver i'm not using them to keep the burn in going...
 
no idea how many hours i'm at though.
 
Dumb question but is it possible to get "bad burn in" by burning in too loud or with low quality sounces? I just don't want to burn in my monks with thousands of hours of mp3s thru a computer's built in headphone out. I just thought it would save on electricity, not having my head amp and DAC running all the time too...

If your computer's headphone out volume isn't too weak or you don't set the volume low, I don't think there will be problem. I use bass heavy songs to burn in my stuffs.
