  THIS!
I really love that generic housing, low profile and fit perfectly in my ears even without foam 

 

Exactly!
 
Now, I want to know how 500 ohm earbuds sound like. Just pulled the trigger on these nicely made babies

Me too.
Tbh, I already enjoy the Seahf LD-3.0 400 Ohm a lot. Atm, I´m listening to Moody Blues´ "On the Threshold of a Dream". Awesome sonic experience with the 3.0, but as I said, they only sound great when you feed ´em high quality stuff.

Yeah, but go to specs and look at the accessories that come with the buds. The wooden box, leather pouch, leather clip. Looks like high quality.

yup, same signature basically, cygnus more refined and better details.
 
Still using monk plus nonstop despite owning all my others.... Tonight used my monk plus to record in the studio, i use it to monitor everything even when it is day time and i can use speakers
 
I feel as though having a lot of accessories used to make expensive earbuds make more sense.... but the RX1 is under $20 and comes with more accessories i have got from ANY new headphone. So it is hard to make the argument that accessories justifies high $ anymore

all questions to the sellers, lol

Black Seahf/Fareal with white lettering and cable are newest version
the one before that is the white with black lettering and white cable
 
that accounts for versions 3.0 and 4.0, i do not know if transparent shell blue cable is version 1.0 or 2.0 but i know that version was out before any of the white/black
 
correct me if i am wrong but this is my understanding from watching the  stock of different stores over time

So the mids/vocal is better in cygnus than rx-1?

 
This is not that simple I'm afraid. RX-1 has very good mids but more bell-like wheras in Cygnus mids are more immersed in the whole mix and also warmer.
 
For female vocals RX-1 is nicer and for male vocals Cygnus is nicer. But this is IMO and also very generaly speaking.

  I think you mean my post here http://www.head-fi.org/t/441400/earbuds-round-up/6690#post_12731716
So since then the situation has changes because now I own TY Hi-Z HP-32 32 Ohm and both original Monk and TY Hi-Z HP-32 32 Ohm allegedly come from the same creator "bug guy".
 
So yes they sound very similar. All differences are just by "a little".

yes that was the post

  just buy TY Hi-Z 32 ohm if you want old Monk sound signature, I heard from impression they are very similar there are some people saying that TY Hi-Z are actually better than old Monk. CMIIW.

 
good thing I have just recently bought the ty hi-z hp32's
