    Seconded, the bass is plentiful enough for me with the monarch, even almost border of too much. The sub bass is pure bliss with the monarch. Tried with cranberries twenty one, the monarch's bass is just awesome.

    Dont get me wrong. The monarch is still a beast among iem, even comparable with some thousand dollars iems. Detail and separation is one of the best, the ananda cant beat the monarch. i think the monarch is one of the best value mid-high end iem.

    I aware of the difference, just a simple comparison. Each one got its own strenght and weakness. Still, very satisfied with the monarch for commute and ananda for home use.

    After 1 month with ananda, I want to write my final impression and compare with the monarch. Simply say, the ananda is almost perfect neutral. the high is present but not piercing. Mid kinda forward, but not much. its smooth, but not 650 smooth, better than the monarch. Bass not punchy, but...

    I wanted to buy upgrade cable for the ananda. Which material is better? Copper or silver? I prefer the sound signature does not change much with the new cable.

    Sounds very neutral to my ear, coming from 650 and x1. More airy than the 650 yet the tone is very good, no need EQ for me. Not as airy as the x1, but much better tonality. I think instrument separation and details are not the best, but good enough. Very good for movie and gaming too imo, a...

    Got my ananda for around USD 480 brand new from shenzhen audio store with 11.11 sale. Time to retire my fidelio x1 and hd 650.

    I also dont believe with burn in, atleast for IEM. the ie8 and monarch sounds good out from the box, and now its still the same sound like out of box. However, for the ananda, I can feel the sound opens more for the first hour I tried. now, after maybe 30-40 hours of use, I can feel the sound is...

    From memory, i think the s8. Its more airy, but got even thinner tonality than the monarch. However, the size is not much different. the monarch have a decent size stage for an iem.

    soundstage size and depth of course ananda is the winner, however detail retrieval still the monarch wins. From gaming and movie experience, I think ananda got the edge on holographic and imaging, but separation and details the monarch is better. I feel that the ananda can produce atmos effect...

    Yes, monarch got more detail retrieval than the ananda. I think the monarch is like arya sound wise, very detailed, superb imaging. While the clair is like ananda, very full and superb tonality. the ananda got more details retrieval than the clair, but i think not as much as the monarch. The...

    Bought the Ananda for 480usd, 11.11 sale. early impression, neutral sound, very good tonality. It sounds more like the clair from memory. The monarch is still win with the imaging and details. Bass is a bit thin compared to the twins, and not extend deep like the monarch, but controlled. Amp...
