How does the Monk+ compare to MX985?

It will be like comparing a Toyota Prius to a Ferrari 488 Spider - both are really good for what they are designed for, but otherwise not actually comparable besides the fact that they are both cars.

It appears all sellers on Amazon are from South Korea. Slightly strange which is why I didn't purchase. It makes sense that these would be counterfeited since the margin on these is pretty high.

 
I've got my pair of MX985 from South Korean eBay - Gmarket for 175 USD. It arrived with guarantee card filled up as can be seen on the attached pictures. If this is "replica" then this is a bloody good "replica". I just hope it plays better then original

Looks legit. But I seen some Hermes bags that look identical to real ones. You never know this days. It just too good for $200 bucks to be a fake...

These must be made in the same factory that made the originals. The housings are customized and not easy to imitate. I've never seen any info on faked MX980/985 except here on Head fi. However I have found info on faked IE8xx IEMs.

The box looks like my second hand pair bought in Sweden (where the guy selling them had bought them in a legitimate Swedish physical store a few years earlier).

Interesting.  Not entirely sure why a few people have posted about there being MX980/985 fakes.  Has anyone out there actually seen a fake one in person?
 
I really am tempted to purchase here, but not sure about the seller: they have no feedback and say they have 17 in stock.... could that really be??

Thinking of selling my o2 and getting the Run About+ to drive my Zen 2.0. Anyone here got opinions on the RA+ with the Zen?

Better go straight to RA 2.0.

I think they are fakes. I looked from time to time and the number of earbuds they had varied widely.

You could keep a look at Ebay Germany or UK. I recently bought a pair of OMX980 (earhook version) from Ebay UK for only around £75 with shipping. According to the seller they were returns. A few years ago I bought a pair of MX980 for around €80 on Ebay Germany after my pair that I bought in Sweden broke and I got the money back after returning them. Had no doubts of any of them being fake. But perhaps you should think twice before buying from Asia...

If it helps, it says "100% Genuine and Original Packing" by the seller and they have really good rating

Never heard a RA, wish I have, I can tell you bMac 3CH MK2 rocks, but I can't compare it to the RA.
both are similar form factor and design.

RA 2.0 here. Must have been made for the Zen. KK (guy who builds them) must be genius. I have told Lee to give him a raise or atleast let him out in the sun once in a while...
