Does anyone know of any alternative cheap earbuds (that aren't in-ear)? I ordered my Monks almost 2 months ago and still haven't gotten here to Canada unfortunately. I'll probably try ordering another pair again and maybe it gets here this time but would appreciate an alternative especially if it was shipped from the US/Canada.
 
I see another one called Boarseman K25 on AliExpress with good reviews.

Have you opened a complaint? What does the tracking show?

Well, just got in my Monk+, and I must admit, getting 20 pairs of assorted earbud covers was really surprising.  I knew there'd be a bit, but wow that's a ton.  Heck, even if my Monk+ didn't work I wouldn't feel like I overpaid just for those.

I was going to order some Hiegi covers that would have cost more than this for the 2 packs, but apparently I'm covered for a bit now!

I was really happy with Hiegi foams with my Zen, Cygnus, Monk, Ting, Dark Horse G400 etc until i got the Monk+ package.
When i used it's foams with my earbuds, the soundstage and SQ just opened up. Damn, i am more happy with Monk+ foams rather than the Monk+.
 
Now i can enjoy all my high end earbuds more with Monk+ earbuds.

The RED BLUE color foam.

The RED BLUE color foam.

Thanks. My golden ears are having a tough time deciding between them and the thick red solid foams. Liking them both!

The Red Blue foam is not comfortable enough for me. It rubs against my skin and makes wearing it uncomfortable. I love the thick red foams though.

But RED BLUE foam is awesome for soundstage and tonality.
I am just luvin it

Well every combination has its ups and downs. Red/Blue foam IMO preserves most of the original sound while still providing some comfort/isolation benefit. Thick foam is definitely better for more comfort and isolation but as expected if suppresses some frequencies and soundstage.

True, everything has its own trade offs(even a coin has 2 sides ), it depends upon you which one you can compromise on.

you can also roll it on its side

Twice better means nothing. What about the sound has changed, low mids or highs? Clarity?

it is more resolving, music sounds more musical etc but not that its a differrent sound its same sound but more reaolving almost or same as my flair audio r2a moded too. but scince earbud is open the sound of room mix with sound of earbud but i broke them i wouldnt do it if you know how to attach the cable to the plastic thing with superglue for example cause it will break like in a day or so. but its much better. i was going to sell it but this mod made it usable. now i might buy monk + and do same mod and maybe superglue cable. and maybe make bigger holes in front cap.
