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

[Ruben123]

Just saw this post, try wearing the E100 with the donut foams facing FORWARDS (towards the direction of your face) instead of inwards, so that the little bell body tucks into the concha/antihelix. This wedges it in place and allows for *slightly* better isolation. At the very least it won't pop out with the slightest turn of your head.

Thanks but I tried! There was no way to wear them for me unfortunately... I gave them away after weeks of trying

Did you get an advance copy, Tamal?

Ok so with great shock and regret, i just realised that I had been wearing these things wrongly all this while.

 The new position turned the sound from 'hmm this is really pretty good!' to 'WOW WAT?? I'd been missing THIS??!'

Haha!

Tee-hee

@waynes world: I'm pretty sure this LINK worked for @ozkan.

 
Thanks. That one might work... it's english at least, but the fonts are tiny and the layout's a bit whacked.
 

   
Here you go:

Thanks also. When I go to that one on my PC (firefox or chrome), it's not english. I went to it on my Samsung tablet and it's english there. Strange stuff indeed.
 
At any rate, mission accomplished!

waynes world: That's a mobile link I gave you. Probably why it's got tiny font on your PC. Looks normal on my iPhone.

I totally should do my own shopping site
 
IMHO, AE is no where near as good as taobao.
 
Sorry guys again for the trouble!
 
Will try to make things easier little by little
 
Cheers

Thanks Lee. I'm pretty sure that you're going to be dealing with a LOT of Monk sales, so the easier the better!

...didn't even notice this thread pop up...LMAO.

The Monks are brilliant. They live in my messenger bag...rugged, sound fantastic, cheap...

Hey I remember seeing you in the Layla thread when it first came out 

 
Welcome aboard! Looking forward to your monk impressions. Just wanted to give a heads up, the new flagship Zen 2.0 will be out in about 2 weeks and it will raise the bar set by the original Zen!

 
Ha. The Layla. That's another story for another day. 

 
Yeah, the Monk was certainly impressive. I was asked to guess its price tag, but I would never have thought it was anything less than $10. $30-ish maybe, but $5-6?! Get outta here!
 
Anyway, I'm definitely interested in hearing more from this company.

 

[Malevolent]

Prepare to get blown away then, my man. I've heard all three VE buds and Asura and Zen are definitely better than Monk.

 
Is the Zen the picture @RedJohn456 posted? They look nice - the cable certainly looks a lot better. Looking forward to hearing them.

Yo Tim~
 
That's the Zen V2.0. The original Zen is a white earbud with silver coloured cables.
