This awesome thread deserve one of the most gorgeous and trippy MV ever made:
 
Alez says:

 also, you have great taste in music 

It was nothing! I'm always in search of good things, Alez.
Good music, good films, good games etcetera...
Probably, I'm an hedonist.

My desire of nice and good things, probably, will never stop.
It's a correct, but an hard road to follow.
Sometimes, when nothing satisfy me, I wonder if I'm too much pretentious.
Something, in that moment, is there to contradict me.
And, now, I'm here giggling to something good.

My life has this loop, but it's a nice one.

I would love a step by step tutorial to how to mod the VE Monks with a new cable (what goes where and so on) and be a happy little Swede. Those modified Monks posted earlier were gorgeous and I am a sucker for estethics...

Seems my Monks have arrived in KC, here's hoping they make it out in today's mail   I'm quite curious to see how they sound, would love a new pair of buds for work, as I'm not willing to bring my XMAS present with me

I forsook the yammie for 3weeksss....
Squeezing out of the Monk every sonic possibilities
From leftbehindwires in my drawers.

Satisfied. I went back to the yammie



Now go do likewise

Royal Mail just emailed me to say my Monks will be here today!!!!

  I bought 50 of them on ebay for like 0.99$, they're fine, and quite thin (very thin, actually) and they fit the monk perfectly (+ you get quite a bit of spare ones if you lose them :>!)

EDIT: tested naked and with these thin foams, and it's a bit more boomy, spacious with them, they sortof open up with them on, I'll keep on using them this way!

Thank you! 
 
I may try those. I am curious if anyone knows of any donuts that are tigher that the ones provided and thinner? @golov17 ?

I'm creating a monster here... And no, they are not Monks (do you think I'm stupid enough to experiment with them) they are pure crap Teclast buds. With earhoox and earguide+gardenwire they sit glued in my ears. Thinking about shrinkwrapping and using Sugru on them too...

I don't understand.
Ever one is saying monks are great but i don't see it.
They are good for a 5$ earbuds but i found nothing special about them. Am i missing something?

Where to find specs on these earbuds?
It's not on aliexpress page. Things like impedance, sensitivity, frequency graphs?

How long did it take you guys till you could track your shipment? I'm using http://global.cainiao.com or should I use something else?

 

[asymcon]

@Norba Thanks for the link.
 
Looking at it, I'll probably find different use for those $5 for now. Maybe in a few weeks/months.
In these parts $5 can buy food for 2 days, and I have no use for earbuds right now.
Not to say they are bad or anything. Just not the right time.
