A big shout out to @golov17 for posting his pictures, making me pull the trigger and ordering the Boarseman MX98s a couple of weeks ago.
I didn't think I would need them, but I could not resist the nice wooden box and accessories.
They arrived today and I absolutely adore them with full foams straight from the iPhone. For me they fill the gap from Monk/Monk+ to Cygnus/Ting that the Tomahawks couldn't.
Naked they are overly bright though. They need full foams.

I ordered the Boarseman K25s and the QianYun Qian 25 in the same shipment. They sound quite ok for the price point, but are kind of redundant if one already have the Monk/Monk+

Can't wait for your full impression!!

Monk+ with Exp Pack came in. Mojito is still stuck in Los Angeles customs. Boo.

  I've contacted numerous earbud companies, looking for one of them to produce a removable cable.  I have yet to find one that thinks it is an idea worthy of production.

Replying to old post but this:

Monk+ with expansion pack came in.

And this (loving the bass boost; sounds very smooth overall)

This is a good upgrade from the H185, sub-bass is very good, high freq also, high mids good, low mids a little worse, and it sounds better with stock foams and dark sources. IMHO


When I listened kc08t, they remind me sounds in mix Zen1.0 & Blox be7mk1

So many variable. Your fav.genre, prefference sound,etc.
But if it's just a random question, my answer is blox Be7. Love it more tham cygnus, tomahawk, even mx985.
Tried it with your own ears, everybody have their own Top-bud. So are you

 
be7 seems impossible to find

KC08t worth buying then?

 
For some reason I thought KC08t had weak bass... if it has good sub bass i am happy to buy it.
 
Still haven't bought TY Hi-Z 150....

what did KC08T take from Zen 1 and Blox BE7?
Zen 1 > KC08T take its bass? and in BE7, KC08T take its clarity or?

Well, my RX1 should arrive on Thursday, so I got lucky with the shipment coming in earlier than I thought.  Here's hoping they're legit and not just taking advantage of the new posting.
 
Also, just got the Shozy Cygnus today I bought from @vapman 2 months ago, thank you post office for that mess...   From initial listening, details are solid, bass is good for softer music like Beck's Sea Change album, vocals are great which is pretty much what I was hoping for from other's opinions.  Comfort is top end too, maybe a hair less than the Mojito, maybe a hair more...  I'd have to compare the two.  I feel like I should buy a Musicmaker earbud next as I have never tried theirs, and I'm always on the lookout to try a Blox as I've never had the luck to buy one, too.  I wonder which Musicmaker I should try out to join the collection.

My RX1 are supposed to be here Thursday too
 
The Cygnus shell is so dang comfy. Easily one of the best earbuds to wear.
 
I don't remember how the Tomahawk felt when I had it but I don't remember it being anything noteworthy in terms of fit comfort.
 
I'm still regretting not buying a high end Blox when they were on sale back in 2012.... I remember seeing them and being like "yeah right I'd never spend that much on an earbud..."

Well you have two VERY fine portable amps on the way, maybe you need to look into desktop amps too?
I also highly recommend DAC upgrades

Suggest some desktop amps that are actually worth it?

And not sure about DAC's...I just use my AK JR. Dont really use my phone or laptop much.

kc08t 16 mm, so if you can get a good fit with them, the sub bass is very good

Guys, when you are talking about the Ty Hi-z 400 Ohms, which version are you mentioning? The new or old version?
