How much do the silicone rings affect the sound?

Nill, the rings do not even come close to blocking the holes where sound passes through them. The just chill by the side and give extra grip.

To Red Demun users, is anyone else having an issue with the cable stiffness keeping the buds from staying in place? I almost wonder if I need to try using ear guides

Either get ear guides or, what I did was just to play with the cable a lot, bending it back and forth(not too rough) and it's a good deal more flexible than it was. Before doing this one earbud might fall out too easily.

I am thinking about double foaming my Red Demons for better grip.

They say it's a collaboration with Foster Japan to bring back the MX500 sound... Any advice?

I have two sets of real mx500. I could compare them. I haven't even seen what they sell for (bad service, on mobile) but if they're not too much I would try one out.

Mx500 is one that is sensitive to impedance shifts.

What a fun week I've had with the Monk Plus and now today with the E100, both have extremely good quality sound. Both offer something very different. E100 far flatter with better treble and tad more detail, the Monk Plus much better bass and better fun factor.
 
With payday coming up I've been looking into my next IEM purchase, most likely Q-Jays or Fidue A83 or one from the Aurisonics range. BUT... now I'm tempted to go for either the Shozy Cygnus or VE Zen?!?
 
Is the price difference between the Zen and the Monk Plus worth paying? How big a leap in quality is there?

BTW, these are called the HIFIKIWI HONEY BUZZARD (or H1).
 
I've commented on these.  They are decent for the price.  I like the sound, it has some nice sub-bass and carries itself well in the mids and highs, with a bit of an early roll off.
 
The cord is very cheap and thin.  I mentioned before that I wish that instead of it coming in a box, that they spent just a bit more money on the cable instead.
 
That all said, the cable has not malfunctioned and I used them quite a bit as my beater pair.

I'm also wondering how the HIFIKIWI LYREBIRD Sounds...

thanks bud!

 

[harry501501]

Having listened to both Monk+ and E100 I feel the Monk is the better bud. The E100 is a tad to neutral for me, bordering on slightly bright at times. I prefer the slightly bassier Monk+, it's just more fun to listen to.
 
If I was to buy another earbud what would you recommend out of the VE Zen 2.0 and Shozy Cygnus? Which has the better resolution?

I still hate my Tomahawk...

After few days with Cygnus I tried my Tomahawk again and oh my... It is a night and day. They are so bad... I don't know what others received in a past, the one that I got is just so unpleasant and harsh. I wish I could return it...
