Sorry for the off-top, which headphones sound similar to the Mk3 or Mk2? I am looking for what you just described but with the combination of good bass and gorgeous detailed mids at the same time. And I am completely incompetent in headphones, I just know I don't like the bass of Sennheiser HD 800.

I would say that to me the substitute of the MMk2 would be the hd600 but with everything scaled down in quality and worse bass. But the midrange/vocal fullness is similar.

The mk2 does have more prominent mids to my ears and a bit more special sauce. Mk3 has has a bit more mid bass. Still a mid centric iem to me (as I generally tend to ward V shaped iems), but I prefer the mk2 mids. You can't go wrong with either though. I'd you don't use eq, I'd go mk3 as mk2 is too lean without eq.

Can you share with us your EQ preset? I have gotten the urge to try EQ lately given I have mostly ran with the default sound signature of any particular IEM especially given what hassle it is to synchronize to all your sources without a DAP.

How do you prevent your Monarch MK2 from cerumen or the small particels etc.?

What is that!?

Keep both the iem and your ears clean regularly. As usually, not much more you can do tbh.

I know this is a pretty old post but I just dived into the world of audiophiles not long ago and my first iem was the moondrop S8 and I really love them for their technicality. I've always wanted to try the legendary monarch mkii but my local store just doesn't have them.

Hey! I think you bought the S8 off of me on Reddit. I’m glad you’re enjoying it.

The S8 isn’t *that* far off from the MMK2. They both lack a little bass for one. The MMK2 resolves more microdetails and has a smoother treble but otherwise, the S8 is not too far off technically.

Omg, how funny to find you here! But yes the s8 is my current favorite and I got quite a few in a short period of time (Fearless S8f, Fatfreq Maestro Mini, zero, zero: red, and Blessing 3) Really love the M-mini too but I have a fitting issue unfortunately. Will probably sell them soon but will cry during the shipment. If you are interested just let me know on Reddit.

I'm saving up for a big purchase so I can't right now, but I hear FatFreq makes great IEMs.

MMK2 obviously has great vocal timbre, but so does S8. Slight difference in tonality with the MMK2 sounding more neutral, and the S8 a little sweeter.
