Thanks - you've sent me down the rabbit hole here! It seems the priciest version of the latest model is the only MMCX option for a Qian39-like shell. Riku's ranking sheet mentions though: "MMCX connection is extremely tight, not recommended to disconnect." While I consider that, the answer...

Hi. Does anyone know if the small shell of the VE Monk Lite and Qian39 has been used in a detachable-cable bud? My ear canal is small. I have the smallish Smabat M1 that works pretty well, but there's just no beating the two i mentioned for my fit and comfort. My 39 is in need of a recabling...

I also just use the normal one... after a while of tinkering I found it was just the best thing to use for a wide range of music. That said, I am pretty sure they have tweaked the default tuning between firmwares. Nothing crazy to where I want to downgrade or anything. Does anyone know if EQing...

Thanks. Going to wait for some reports on this one. I noticed there was a firmware between releases available in North America, 2.1.3, that shortened battery life as a battery longevity measure. So is that included here? And is that a good thing?

Hi buds gang Is there a bud out there with the Qian39/Monk Lite tiny form factor that has a removable cable? I've managed to split my Qian39 wires all the way down to the jack, it's just a mess. May glue back together. Would be very tricky to do an MMCX mod, the stems are so skinny.

Damn that is too rich for knockoffs, with false advertising. Would seek refund/return.

i ordered such a set knowing they weren't official. Sennheiser's pads are pricey. ETA: I've also heard thereve been changes to the official pads but i can't imagine that they wouldn't snap in

Aye. I've no desire for new cans, but after thankfully selling my very basic starter hybrid tube amp, I'm super curious about trying a little nicer one A) mostly for the 6XX but B) also plays nicely with IEMs and everything. Anyone have any suggestions cheaper than Quicksilver or Bottlehead's...

I think I had one of these when living in Japan in around 05, but I can't remember which. How do they compare to Koss, @JHex2 ?

After a while I'll check back with silicone to make sure I'm not overdoing it with the comply waxguards. I just gave Lana Del Rey's "White Dress" a listen and... actually made it all the way through, lol.

Yes. On my Hifi's I'm using Comply foams with "waxguard" mesh to cut the treble down a little further still. Generally happy not to EQ them with these. Good to have a use for these after picking them up for PSB M4U4's (those come with 1 pair) but not finding them such a good match on that set.

I am pretty knocked out with the HiFi's. My first time trying planar. Ordered on 11.11 right before the Pro came out. They seem to be more amp dependent than any IEM I've heard. The best thing I have is a Liquid Spark, and the slam and clarity with that is just beautiful. I don't mind the...

New multipoint capability is out, from firmware + app update. Working great here so far. Noticed some new bits on the app: the options for "Bluetooth Connection Quality" read: Plus above the photo of the buds is now a live codec indicator (which, when used with multipoint tells you what codec...

Stumbled across this post on a smaller thread for M4U4. Ordered one of these cables and it works perfectly. Cheers, @owatito ! The IEM ends are that super-moldable/rigid wire.

So far my research finds that denim, wind, and working in an industrial park were not helping my signal. Setting the quality option to "Priority on Stable Connection" seems to help the connection marginally. Does anyone hear a big difference? I haven't used this mode for long yet. Will do some...
