[2021 Update] Venture Electronics (VE) Monk V2, Monk Plus & Monk Go: a $5 earbud that taking the world by storm!!!

[nmatheis]

@golov17: I posted this in the main VE thread, but I think it bears repeating here. My son also feel in love with Monk. I gave him Monk plus a high-end IEM. My son is a trained musician, playing piano and trombone in classical and jazz ensembles for many years. He said Monk sounded so much more natural to him - like when he was playing in a small jazz club. While I didn't agree with him that Monk were technically better than the high-end IEM, there's no way in hell I'd purchase the high-end IEM - BUT I'd certainly buy Monk. Much, much better price to performance ratio!!!

earhoox is a good option, and it works for quite a few people. I personally run it commando or with doughnut foam

Except by Justin. Maybe I should like on a quick review for all of them :wink_face:

Please reserve one for me, can only get one by Thursday lol
 
Anyone a comparison against MP8320, KZ ED9 or Havi B3p1? Some of the better budget killers imho. Also had the Earbell e100 but the fit was horrible

Huh? Reserve a Monk?

And just my two cents, but it's not easy to compare earbuds with IEM. They're different animals due to IEM being sealed. Better to compare earbuds with headphones IMO.
