  Update on TY Hi-Z 32 buds - With over 20 hours of usage, I guess, my ears/brain have adjusted to its sound signature.
 
These are to me, the most detail oriented buds that I have in my small collection of buds. Treble is still a bit edgy but the sibilance that I had experienced earlier seems to have reduced (or I do not notice it anymore).

Congrats!

 
.....I use them without the foam giving me such a good balance and wide sound stage signature with great "life-like" vocals. Epic earbuds!

Yeah i like the TY Hi-Z 32 buds. I use them with doughnut foam.
 
First time I tried Monk I was like wow-ed by it then the Monk plus came... I was a little disappointed by the sound and the fact that they don't produce the Monk first version anymore.
 
Then came TY Hi-Z, I was wow-ed by it again. Probably the type of sound that I preferred.

You are right! To me, Soundstage width and detail retrieval are the best features of these buds. Loving it.
 
Would you say Edifier H180 or 185 will complement these buds (kinda sidegrade) ?
 
(BTW, both these are in my radar for sometime. With Edi H180 having custom mods via Edimun and Redemun which are raved by users who bought it, I am very tempted to tryout one of these in their original version)

The H185 are great with the foam installed (never tried it without), and compliment the TY Hi-Z, as well. But, the VE MONKS are in the same level with the Hi-Z's, in my opinion.
 
.....never tried the H180's, though now I'm curious and eager to listen to them now that you mentioned "custom mods", etc.....

They are already "reviewed" by some users in this thread. Use thread search with "Granvela Urbanfun".
They are "old discovery".

Hmm, kind of tempting.  I figure if I can think of enough to buy from Taobao, I'll give these a try.  So far, I only would have $33 worth to buy, and shipping would be at least $20, so I'll keep thinking.
