Maybe it's just me, so please no one take any offense to my comments. Adding these adapters, ear hooks, aftermarket foams, etc. just defeats the purpose of buying $5 earbuds. I've got $14 invested in two sets of monks and they are fine as is. Granted the price allows folks to experiment I guess, but when it's all said and done, why didn't you just buy the $30, $40, or $50 earbuds instead of throwing more money at the Monks? It's your money so spend it however you want, but at the end of the day you are throwing a lot of money at $5 earbuds for what may or may not change the sound (subjective) or change the fit. I'm just looking at this realistically and perhaps I'm in the minority, yet I've had no desire to alter my Monks or spend additional money on them. Like I said, take no offense to this, just making an observation and thinking out loud.
