Good to know, Lee. Though that is a pretty big plug, lol!

  Has anyone tried opening their monks? I've been thinking of replacing the cable on mine with something nicer. 

 
You may try with a 75 ohm adapter. I've read somewhere that they are more balanced with an adapter.

AliExpress let us all exercise the right to up or down vote feedback from other users. I suggest that we all of use that option. Don't be lazy, scroll to page 4.

He guys,

 

I want to get a list of legit sellers in the OP. If anyone wants to help, would be much appreciated.

 

At this stage the only official seller of the VE Monks is here : Venture Electronics (AliExpress)

There's a link at the bottom of the OP. They're currently out of stock; hence the ridiculous price tag in the page, (read the description). 
 
@zhibli06, when do we expect the Monk to be back in stock?

Yeah, but it's pretty hard to buy from TaoBao!
I'm trying to use various sites, but there are fees for a second shipping.

I'm doing something wrong?

 

[zhibli06]

wait for a bit

and they will be back on ae


cheers

Just a preview.
I translated a part from their taobao page: 
 
The new monks - can be understood as micro Zen (red rice this grade phone sounds no pressure)
Contrast old monk, and low-frequency texture detail has increased dramatically ~!
So correct me if i'm wrong but it seems he meant the new versions will have more bass quantity?
Hope it doesn't turn out to be something like the havi b3 pro 2 (bassier version)
Anyway, keep watching for stocks on AE, but look out for overpriced items.
According to the taobao page, it is priced the same as the first batch.
Cheers!

Nah, it's usually the case if you buy from taobao agents.
Its normally easier (safer) to buy directly from AE, or from Mr Lee ^^

 

[zhibli06]

the old monk is something before the whole international sale， the logo was dark red
simply speaking，the monk everybody got here is the new monk already ， and we have no plan to change it
anytime soon

cheers

Yeah, I was sure that it's not the best method.
I will wait for the arrive on AE.

Hey guys, I've been waiting for 5 weeks now. Anybody else had to wait so long or could this be a shipping failure somewhere?
