Earbuds Round-Up
Oct 25, 2016 at 11:35 AM Post #12,812 of 75,702
   
According to one respected earbud ranking list here on Head-Fi, the Auglamour RX-1 is rated higher than the Cygnus (just above it). You may want to start with that?

I have the rx1 and i dont like them.  They dont have any bass, they are a very mid centric earbud.   Mids are good and detailed, the mids are also forward on these buds.  Highs are good and detailed as well not sibilant. I cant use them as music lacks that fullness or completeness without the bass.   These are very mid centric earbuds and they are good at it which is why they are probably where they are on the list.  They specialize at something and do it well they are just not for me =/.

Interesting just how high on the list. My guess is that if quantified it is the best "value" - bang for the buck - on that ranking, but not everyone likes the sound signature! Detail, high resolution of the sound is important to me. I'd give it a try but I have some earbuds arriving via epacket.
 
I have high hopes for the graphene membrane driver earbud that will leave all other earbuds in the dust! /jk

Old stuff. I´m about to order the new 64Ohm, which according to Mr. K himself easily outclasses the 500Ohm version. Hehe....

This is also excellent workmanship. There´s something about beryllium drivers that continues to wow me. Maybe it´s the effortlessness of the sound, hmmm....

  that is K's 500 version 1?
If I order K's 500, I will probably order that version too

 
Yes, standard version.
 
  Yeah, but the balanced silver cable version.

You have frightened me first that you mean K's500, later I noticed you meant Monk. OK, if we agree that Toneking TP16 is a level-up from Monk Plus, then K's64 is maybe at TP16 level or maybe somewhere between Monk Plus and TP16. Depends on which signature you will like more. K's64 is flatter with more congested mids and lighter bass than TP16.
