I can't notice any differences between the darth monk+ & transparent monk+ after trying it out.. Prior to that i was hopeful that there might be too..
after all its still the same productYeah exactly most of us are saying it should be that wayI think no one really expected audible differences
after all its still the same productbut in the case of ak100, different colours have different sound
I wonder how AK have managed that. Did they change the hardware inside?
this may be possible considering different colour of ak players sound different
iems or earbuds? Budget? Genre? Im confused since you mentioned in ears. OoHello everyone. I've never replied to a thread here on Head-Fi, and I'm very new to the audio enthusiast realm. I say that because going from Apple/Samsung earbuds, to HD 598s with a FiiO E6 (Portable and PC use), to HD 598s and a Micca Origen, and now HD 598s and 700s with the Micca Origen has all been a result of recommendations from a close friend.
But I've been craving a portable "in-ear" - as I have seen stated in this thread - experience.
Please bear with here. I'm very green to all audio.
What would be some great options for a portable audio setup using my phone (Galazy S5)? DJ's post has me almost convinced to buy a pair of the Monks, but I need options.

I would recommend getting a few pairs of the Monks even though they are not in ear, regardless of what in-ear you end up choosingA very small investment with a big payout!![]()

Thanks kazekaeru XD I forgot to mention that I wanted a model of a Monk in my portable setup, including the fact that I want to drive headphones as well.
And audio123 I wish to try a pair of these Monk earbuds (apparently there are differing models?). I was referring to thereof when I said "in-ear." I also left a bit out of the post by accident. Sorry about that.
The missing bit: I want to be convinced that these earbuds sound as great as DJ says. Also do the earbuds perform and sound well without an Amp or DAC/Amp combo? Would anyone recommend or say it is a necessity to use an Amp or DAC/Amp combo?
My final question: What portable DACs, AMPs, or DAC/AMPs would be a good setup with earbuds and headphones? I want to be able to drive my HD 598s and these Monks with exceptional sound quality but am not sure what options are out there that will meet that standard.
I hope this makes my question a bit clearer.
