mbwilson111 Hi there
So I'm fairly new to bud's and am highly impressed. Wherever the idea came that buds are somehow "lesser' than IEMs......that's wrong. I had the Monks a long time ago but mine were perhaps affected by QC and never impressed me.
So you in a way helped me, because you clearly have a great love and respect for buds. So I have bought over the last few weeks three buds. (Waffle over). The Nicehck B40...excellent for a few quid. The Ourart ACG...better even for a mid price Bud...... and lo and behold the Rose Masya MK2 is my rival against the Blon 03. Masya Pro's actually don't exist, it's the Rose Masya MK2 and is my really great bud. It needs a LOT of burn in and a better cable. To me most IEMs sound THIN compared side by side with good buds and I have to wait for my ears to adjust to go back to them (IEMs). Some buds, like the Masya Mk2, are like little speakers on the ears.
The Blon 03 at first listen sounded rough (fit is major with the Blon 03) but they literally 'suddenly' opened up with an ISN Audio cable and JVC style large silicons. They sound incredible to me. The Masya Mk2 is different sounding, and I have to up equalise the treble. But it is big literally in size and sound, but soooo good.
I love the thrill of the Blon 03 ride, but it needs work to find the right cable and tip for it. But....wow it is special. The Masya Mk2 is a contender in a different way and is great sounding bud.
