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

I just saw someone posted the Monk+ in a Reddit thread. How are they compared to the originals? I really like the original Monk, but they make my eyes feel like they're going to pop out of my head after 30 mins of use. Not sure they're just too bright or what, but they are very harsh for Top40 music. If I go past 10 volume on my PC, they give me fatigue even faster than 30 mins.
 
Do the Monk+ have this same issue?

Still waiting for my 15 set of plus to arrive!

 
Now that's how you get as calm as a Monk!

  Don't you have an RA @yacobx ?
Though I suppose if you don't own a multimeter, it's not much help...

Yeah I have an RA plus. I don't have a meter tho lol. @zhibli06 do you have an actually ohm output on it?
 
 
I barely have it past 60% with my 250ohm DT770's and its at my max listening level. with the Zen's I'm around 50-55% on the knob and its perfect. Like I've said in previous posts its gotta be close to 600ohm if not more.

The correct question would be in two parts:
 
  • What is the power output from the headphone out into different loads?
    16 ohm
    32 ohm
    300 ohm
    600 ohm
     
  • What is the output impedance on the headphone out?

Monk+? Why has budget-fi been so glorious as of late?
goes to show some products are way overpriced. I like how VE company conducts their business. Regardless of how insane the demand for the monk is, they keep the price at what it is. Kudos to Lee. This is why there will be support for VE.
