Hi fellow Monk's fans, this is my first post here, and I actually joined Head-fi in 2009... So I am embarassed to say I have more or less been a leecher seeping off all the knowledges on this forum without contributing. But I am here to give a shout out to @Brooko
on his extensive reviews and measurements.

I own the original Monk and the Monk Plus. I bought the 75 ohm adapter for fun because of some of the members' opinion on it. I will just reiterate Brooko's finding that a 75 ohm impedance adapter has not made a difference to me for the Monk Plus. The adapter however, has completely changed the sound on my Campfire Orion and Triple Fi 10, but not in the pleasant ways (I hate it). So yeah it seems that an impedance adapter does change BA driver a lot but not in the case of dynamic driver.

I don't have very discerning ears so to me both the original Monk and the Monk Plus sound very similar to me, with the Monk Plus being a touch less airy for female vocal and a bit warmer in general. Thou I will just add that Lee is a magician in creating this thing for 5 USD.

PS: I am a scientist working in academia, so Brooko's reviews are to me, PERFECT because of the objective measurement and data. I bought the Campfire Orion based on your review and it's THE IEM to me. Consider me a fan of yours, Brooko!

Good to have you "officially" on head-fi. I too, concur with Brooko's findings and reviews. We hear one way, we see results another (but it can confirm, or change what we hear). The melding of those two is what drives us for our perfect sound (to us individually).

These earbuds are freaking amazing but they don't fit my ears right unless I'm completely still. Where can I buy accessories to get them to fit and stay in my ears? Should I wait till VE has the expansion pack or can I go to an actual store? ..... Sorry if this has been answered, but I'm not reading over 200 pages.

Me, too.
I find the original Monks a bit too big around, and they do not "settle down"  as well as, say, my old Sennheiser MX500 used to.

I remember ordering the monk+ when it was 555usd but not paying for it..it's like a way to reserve it i guess, pay when it's 5$ again.

However I wish if i just bought the expansion pack instead, was kinda skeptical back then.

Someone in the company has a paypal address, @zhibli06 has posted it publicly but if you can't find it just PM him, I've placed like 6 or 7 orders all via paypal.

Sorry I have only paid through iDeal through my own (EU) bankaccount. I do agree that they should add Paypal as well, read other complaints of that as well.

I want to order more for backup and for friends.. 
 
it seems EX pack can't be selected (greyed), is this mean I can only order basic monk plus without expansion pack?
 
someone please clarify..TQ
