Earbuds Round-Up
Folks, don't sell those old buds; breathe new life into them. Was its signature too mid-centric for you or not enough? No worries the excentric® signature was designed for you. At last one simple technique to solve all those budbears in one : Amping - No need to let ohms and mWs and...- chrisjackson

Need help with choosing earphones on the budget
That's good. Hopefully you won't have an issue. Just had two of my adult nephews around to try out the Monks; they just popped them in effortlessly; I struggle a bit. Sennheiser did address the problem some while back for folks with smaller ears; see picture at bottom of this page ...- chrisjackson

Need help with choosing earphones on the budget
Maybe the best bet is to order an inexpensive Sennheiser (or whatever) that has the same shell size as the Monk. They're bigger than old apple buds and you'll want to know whether you can get a good fit before you order two Monks.- chrisjackson

High Quality Sound Closed Headphones for Classical Music - budget £100-250
The B&O H6 is still just under £200 at amazon.co.uk (the tan one only now). That is a recommended choice for classical music. Though it is not supposed to be the best for isolation a lot of your other suggestions look a bit bulky for use outdoors.- chrisjackson

Earbuds Round-Up
Well yes, I suppose that's the important bit... Good to see that in all the Venture Electronics excitement, other tastes/ear shapes are being catered for. Unlike Chompy above for my fit I need to cut a bit of bass and boost the mids to get where I want to with the Monks. Happy to do that to...- chrisjackson

Earbuds Round-Up
Oh sorry, got the idea into my little brain that your success at negotiating those Chinese sites meant you could read it. Guess you have some other ingenuity at work there. Aliexpress for ordering the VE Monks even with all the English and correct currency was challenge enough for me- chrisjackson

Hope am not speaking out of turn, but in a message from Lee on Aliexpress he seemed to indicate that the next batch (don't know if there will be any more after that) will be arriving very very soon compared to the typical time taken for delivery to customers. Realise it's easy for those who...- chrisjackson
