Another vote for VE Monk, Just ordered another pair since my work pair finally died. Since it was $3 shipping had them throw in a pair of the monk SPC and the new bonus IE.
Yeah, I listened to my new Vidos for a bit but ended up going back to my Monk+'s. I have a couple different earbuds on the way and we'll see if they can dethrone the Monks.

Which ones you got coming?

I just got the Yincrow X6's yesterday. On the way is a set of RY4S UE's and FENGRU Tingu TC200's.

The Yincrows sound real good. Maybe better than the Monks, but since the mids are a bit recessed I find myself turning up the volume more than usual which can get fatiguing. I just switched back to the Monks for now. I can listen to them all day with no problem.

You're getting a good mix of buds. I'll be interested in your impressions when you get the RY4S UE's and the Fengru Silvers (I just got them yesterday, and they are great).

Oh sweet. Glad to hear you like the silvers. There are not that many reviews for them online.

Ha, I'm not wrong, though! :ksc75smile:

Thinking about it, these are the buds I've 'pushed' over the years:

TY 32 v1
E808+
RY4S UE
Snow Lotus 1.0
MS16
Kube v1
SR2 16Ω
Fengru Silver

All cost between $4 and $15.

If I lost my whole collection (which includes stuff costing a lot more) apart from those I would not worry much.
(As long as I can keep my KSC75 as well. :wink:)

I was thinking of grabbing a Snow Lotus but people seem to be saying you should get either the new 1.0+ or 2.0 but I couldn't find any comparisons between the two. Maybe I'll just love the Silver so much I'll never need to buy another set of buds anyway :wink:.

I prefer the SL 1.0 to the 1.0+, but I prefer the Silver to both of them.

I have no complaints about the Silvers. I haven't compared them to anything else yet, but I am enjoying them a lot!

Looking forward to those Silvers!

I got the RY4S UE's in the mail yesterday. I haven't really compared them to anything else yet but I've been using them all through work and I can say they are definitely not as fatiguing as the Vido's or Yincrow X6's. They sound real good too!

I think the Snow-Lotus 1.0 is actually the best option. The braided cable is so much better than the stiff, thicker cable. It's a phenomenal sounding earbud.
