    Reply to review by '8hours' on item 'QianYun Qian39'

    I've been giving these buds a good long listen and I concur with most of this review. One very big advantage of the qian39 is that it is a bit smaller and for me it's a perfect fit. Not to mention that I can lie on my side wearing these without causing any discomfort.   The qian39 is giving my...

    About the tips, the stock ones weren't a good fit for me. I use the spin fits.

    One minor irritation is that on the LG V20, this headphone shows up as normal not high impedance...still sounds awesome. Soundstage is sumptuous on this :D

    Venture Electronics VE Zen 2.0 impressions and discussion thread

    Both the monk+ and zen2 fit snugly into my ear, no room for any foam or doughnut. I made the cut and I'm very happy I did as both sound like a dream! :D   Regarding amps, at first I was connecting my zens to my magni2, but sound was very patchy, soaring with some and dull and dark with...

    Any idea how these would sound paired with a Zen 2? I've been using my magni2, but I get the feeling it can get better. On some songs the zen soars and simply beggars belief, and on others it's subdued and lets the monk+ nip at it's heels.

    Man these earbuds have such an airy effortless sound, I can't wait to compare the high-end TY to the Zen2. Even the humble monk+ is just sumptuous!   Keep up this excellent work :D

    Best IEM tips?

    If ciems can relieve me of that congested feeling I get with standard iems then they are definitely worth exploring. What is the cost of getting such tips? And what difference would there be in sound with the fully customized iems?

    Introduction to TY Hi-Z Earbud Family: Mega Review

    Thanks for doing all this research, your work is much appreciated :D   I currently have the monk+ and the zen 2. I've ordered the TY Hi-Z HP-32s as there have been many reports of good sub bass on it. Sub bass is the only thing I find lacking in both the earbuds I currently own. If it...

    Best IEM tips?

    I haven't had any experience with ciems, but given the cost I expect they will fix many of the issues I had with iems. Still, for me, the cost of entry is a little too high.

    The Soundstage Head Club

    After trying out monk+, zen2 and TY Hi-Z 32 I can say that these earbuds simply trash all the iems I've tried. These earbuds put out that sweet airy sound normally reserved for open back cans. The zen2 especially puts out soundstage, detail and instrument separation for days :D

    Best IEM tips?

    Sadly I'm throwing in the towel. I'm done with IEMs for day to day use...I have been totally floored by how well earbuds sounds. I use the monk+ as my day to day headphones and zen 2 for proper listening in quiet environments.   The only time I use any of my iems is when I'm on a flight or...

    @crabdog Thanks for this. I already have the magni, but I think I will spring for this to get the feel for that tube sound
