  Hi fleasbaby,  do you have the 1st edition or the revision 2.0   I was wondering if the only difference is the cable?

 
 
  hhh I dunno about that ^^ Ear Buds an my ears don't get along well though if these are built well I might just have them for a dozen or so years

 
Ah! Well, yes, if fit is an issue, we shall see. It seems most don't have a problem with fit, but there are the odd few here and there who battle...here's hoping!
 
  Lee from VE claims the Zen 2.0 is much better than the 1.0 version.  Makes me wonder if it really is..

 
I have the 1.0, balanced for my Pono player. The 2.0, balanced as well, is winging its way to me right now. I am looking forward to seeing the differences myself as well. Reports so far are positive. Its hard to think something as good as the 1.0 can be bested, but I have faith in @zhibli06

My monk left China on 12/11 and arrived in New York today.  Hopefully that means they'll arrive at my house in the next few days!

oh nice! I just paid for mine, a whopping $8! Here's to hoping it's the best $8 I've ever spent

Got the Zen v2.0 black edition today. I am a bit shocked how good they are oit of the box. I am actually tryimg to find something bad about them. Thr cable is pure eye candy but does have some microphonics. Shirtclip fixed that easily.

What i can say is that Monks are incredible for the price. You can really tell that the Monk is Zen's little brother. They share the same sonic character, it's just that zen is bigger, broader, plays deeper, invites you into the music more.

Well done VE, well done indeed...

I'm gonna give these a try too! Don't have any other earbuds to compare though.

haha, like wise I don't have an earBud to compare it to either! But I've got a pair of beats to compare it to, that'll be a fun one xD
