Sorry, but I don't know about this .. Just, someone decided to make some money on the general hype .."Free shipping"....Maybe Golov can go "liberate" what the seller has...

People that love it does not want to pay more for it is very funny to me . if i think it is very good i would definitely pay more to get it.

well, the law of supply and demand in its purest form, Monks v1 are discontinued so the price must go up, I hope that one day I will sell my 2 backup pairs and I won't know what to do with all the money

Three-way splitter from the KMF Audio headphone amp:
(1) Original Monk with full red covers;
(2) Monk Plus with Original red doughnut covers;
(3) Monk Plus with [thin] full blue covers.
Tennessee Ernie Ford singing "Sixteen Tons".
. . . and the winner is: . . .
Too busy enjoying the the MUSIC right now to make a decision!
. . . later . . .
Vocals definitely more up-front and "there" with (1). Glad I kept this pair! Serious "jump" factor here.
Overall clarity, neutrality, balance, dimensionality, speed, etc., get the nod with (2).
Narrower/shallower soundstage and sharper treble with (3).
Rounding out the afternoon listening with "Shotgun Boogie" and (2).
$5 very well spent.

Once you start listening to Zen, it's very hard to go back to monk/monk+ or any midfi earbuds. IMHO, don't shoot me plz.

I prefer original Monk a lot of the time but I still use my Monk+ more. Monk+ is better for long term listening.
Part of the reason is I don't want my original Monks to break...
For a long time I didn't touch my Monk/Monk+ with Zen around but eventually started listening to Monk again. They all have a place. I overall listen to Monk more.
