The foam covers that come with the Monk Plus are definitely a step down in quality (a lot thinner and prone to tear) compared with the (red) foam covers that came with the Original.  In fact, material quality overall seems to be uniformly lower with the Plus.  The Plus cable is also stiffer and retains the kinks from being bundled in the package.  The Original cable, however, is kink-free and rolls up very smoothly.  

Currently I have the Plus fitted with the red foam donuts that came with the Original.  Best sound I've heard from the Plus so far!  

Yup, doughnuts sound best to my ears too - plus, they're more comfortable

Listening to an old iPod Touch (3rd gen), using 16/44.1 ALAC files and the Monk Plus. Having a brilliant time . Not clinical, not necessarily "the best" as defined by the current obsession with neutral/euphonic/whatever....just super-fun, head-bopping, goodness.

If anyone is attending T.H.E. Show at Newport in the next few days and can bring along any of the Venture Electronics earbud/in-ear lineup, it would be most appreciated. Shouldn't be too hard to find me, especially if we PM/collaborate before hand.

Thanks in advance! :bigsmile_face:

is asura or zen an upgrade over monk on the mids department?

To add on to this: 
From what I have understand Asura is more for vocals while Zen is more for bass?

Your in for a treat Moe Daddy For me the Monk really shines in a quite environment

 

[RedJohn456]

 

Yes, quite a bit. The HD600 is laid back and more controlled, allowing the mids to really shine through. I bet it would sound special sauce balanced out of your AK Dap

A treat if someone comes through at the meet! :normal_smile :

What's great about the meets that I attend is that I usually get time before, during and after to listen to a plethora of audio equipment, for sometimes extended periods of time in quiet settings such as hotel rooms.

Newport should be great as I'll be able to listen to some pretty awesome sounding goods. I'll be bringing along some goodies as well.

I will try, and I hope so as well. Last year had some vehicles that were "pimped out" from the same people as the "Pimp My Ride" show, so just that alone was pretty entertaining. Definitely a unique show compared to other audio based shows, that's for sure.

I have a few extra on the way so I was wondering if there were any monk + mods yet or is it still to early?

 

[calnyc]

Got mine today. Wow, these are really good. Just what I was looking for to replace iPhone buds. If only they had a remote and mc.

I got my Monk+ along with Asura 2 today. I`m very impressed with Monk+. By initial impressions more analytical and detailed/clearer/airier sound than original monk (which had smooth and engaging signature). Going to NUN-mod v2 them for sure 

 first earbud that I can actually listen to without pushing them against "ear-cave" to get good sound. Highly recommended for earbud lovers!

Still early... but I`m going to mod it for sure! Something similar as NUN-mod v1: http://www.head-fi.org/t/783669/venture-electronics-ve-monk-monk-plus-a-5-earbud-that-taking-the-world-by-storm/3720#post_12576789

I like the monk v1 a lot, if anyone want my zen 2 , I will change it for 4 monk v1.
Have a good day.
