Ordered on the 15th of January and arrived on the 25th (to Canada). 10 days with e-Packet.
No complaints just wondering if there is an IEM style in the works. Lee maybe has some insights.

I was thinking of the Monk's price range.....


I don't think there is any IEM at that price range which sounds as good as Monk. Be realistic who wants to make an IEM similar to Monk's sound and sell it for only $5. :D That idea is great though. I'd buy 5 pcs at least. :D

Lee, are you hearing us brother? :D

For one good example please see this one:

(and check the number of feed backs). I own this and it's really a classic for $7.
The only reason I'm inquiring about the IEM style is the fit issues I have with ear buds.
 
.... and I don't want to put bubblegum in my ear to fix the problem lol

Yeah I also have them. Please refer to my profile picture. :D But they have different sound signature than Monk and don't have the same sonic strengths that Monk has. And they are still not $5. :D

Oh, btw I should update my profile picture when my other toys come. :D

HJE120 is a nice style... so comfortable too. If your budget allows have you looked at the Dunu Titan series? I haven't tried them but they have similar half-in-ear sort of style, without the oval nozzle, and a heavily vented/open type of design, $50-120 depending on the version I think. There's also the next step up in that panasonic series, I forget the number, but it goes for $12-15 on amazon sometimes and have read it fixes a lot of the deficiencies of the 120.
