  As of a few days ago (before reading this thread) I would only consider IEM's, on ear and over ear headphones. I'm in for two pairs from the VE store. Never thought I'd ever be buying earbuds again. I used to turn up my nose to earbud users. Maybe I was wrong -  I see some benefits...

 
Yeah, that was me as well (before getting into VE earbuds). Now I hardly ever use IEM's because (a) the VE earbuds sound so great and (b) they are way more comfortable for me (I don't really enjoy having IEMs jammed in my ears).

x3ii is more analytical. plenue d keeps the sound signature of the monk

Today was the first time I´ve listened to my old Monks with my new AK300 Dap and 380 Amp. I´ve always underestimated what more than enough power can do to the Monks. Whhoooaaa, What!!!!  

These babies sing like never before. I mean it. Now I know, why Lee always spoke of "Thundering Bass". So folks, if you really want to know what the Monks are capable of, given ´em enough juice!!

My box with a balanced monk, 2 darths and my cable adapters showed up today. Heck YES!!!!!!
 
It was funny cause last VE box I got i ordered one balanced and one darth. I opened it and was like "crap where are my other monk and adapters?" then went back and saw I had placed an Ali order for the 2 pieces about a week prior and totally forgot about it.
 
Hope my candy show up soon!

Hey I chose packet shipping, which says 12-20 day shipping. Is a 2 week arrival date realistic?

I ordered epacket twice to Australia. One package got to me in an incredible 6 days and the other got here in 9 (fully tracked from 17track). Maybe I have been lucky, but that is actually faster than massdrops useless DHL service for the TH-X00 (which basically got stuck for weeks in limbo land without status updates).

ePacket is actually just EMS by they charge with 1 gram as unit price instead of 500 grams as unit priceon EMS
 
So it is like a hell of a bargain.

i have x3ii b4 and plenue d. Plenue d will pair better

Second vote for the Plenue - you can dial almost any earbud or IEM in with the Jetaudio.  You can dial in the sound you like with the fit you like (bare, foam, ring) on the Monks.

I have tracking on the Candies (lucky to be in a good timezone for once for this kind of thing).
 
Departed on 1 Sept, now reached Beijing Postal Center for transfer. Will see if it beats the incredible 6 days I got the Zen

I just got 2 Monk+ today. This order was way faster than the previous one! It took less than a month, I'm really pleased. As for the sound... well, what can I say that hasn't been said already? I love them! I ordered one with the extra accessory package, and the ear hooks are great. I'll be using them to satisfy my need for music at the gym and college. Thank you so much for a great product, Lee!

Edit: vocals sound sooo pretty. These are the perfect gift! I got one for my grandpa and he's absolutely in love with them.
