Yes, standard 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, then K's64 is maybe at TP16 level or maybe somewhere between Monk and TP16. Depends on which signature you will like more. K's64 is flatter with more congested mids and lighter bass than TP16.

Agreed.

Maybe...only a blind test would let us know for certain. But blind test discussion is for the lab, not here. I know that my MP driven with my LG V10 is pretty amazing! So the DAP is a huge factor as others have mentioned.

LOL, Jim adjusted the price for the

K's Earphone 64 ohm within a minute. I suppose these will not come with the fancy wooden box and leather strap from the product picture.​

you know after playing around modding a couple of monks i have come to a conclusion.  The way a speaker sounds (sound stage, clarity, balance, warmness) regardless of what its in (earbud, headphone, desktop speaker) depends more on tuning (housing, dampening, materials in front of driver ect)  than the actual driver used.  And just to prove my point there are a lot of buds out there that are just re-tuned cheap buds and they sound like high end buds.
 
So its sad that the cheap buds are gimped due to bad tuning.  I just wish i knew how to properly tune them so i could make and sell modded monks $$$$

Just ordered the k'earphone 64ohm silver for 8dollar

 

[Tomasz2D]

I did some A/B and K's64 is around Monk Plus really. I also checked this at the same time:
 
Bass !!!!! (more >less)
Elibuds Sabia v2 > TY Hi-Z HP-32 32 Ohm > Toneking TP16 > K's64/Monk Plus

 

[vapman]

I suppose if K's 64 is that cheap, it makes sense that it's near the Monk Plus on quality.
