Well, s**t that sucks. I thought my monk lites where lost in transit until I received them yesterday after a 2 month wait. But obviously it’s not the same as waiting for an earbud 10 times the cost!
We must experience similar waiting times being across the pond from each other. I’m usually expecting a month long wait on average.
Curious though have you ever been caught with import fee’s from aliexpress? It’s never happened for me so far thank god! That and free shipping is why I’m usually pretty understanding of the long delivery times.
The EBX thing was a bit odd. I finally got an "in country" message at the end of Jan, so left it a while in case it was with customs etc. Ended up with Aliexpress showing it as delivered which prevented me raising a dispute. Jim at NiceHCK has been very helpful and after Royal Mail confirming it never entered their system and presumed lost, Ali have promised to refund me. Funnily enough, probably the only parcel that has ever failed to reach me.
Lucky so far, never had to pay any extra fees. Probably had a dozen or so deliveries from China, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia.
Edit
Good to hear your Monks arrived. 2 months is a long time for VE. I find they are usually less than 2 weeks.
I have had 2 orders from VE. Eight and ten days to reach the London area...so I am not too far from Heathrow. I find almost everything from China to me arrives at Heathrow on a Friday so then I have to wait over the weekend for a Monday or Tuesday delivery.
I've been listening to the Zen Lite almost daily for past 2-3 months, they are excellent, natural sounding and non-fatiguing. They have handled my music effortlessly (YMMV), pretty much perfect for my listening preferences. They seem to be a match made in heaven with the Runabout Plus too.

If the difference between monk plus and monk lite is anything to go by can I assume the zen lite is pretty balanced sounding? Have you heard the zen 1/2?

I have not heard the Zen 1/2, but yes, the Zen Lite is balanced sounding, not what I would call flat in terms of frequency response, e.g. the bass is boosted a little but it is tastefully done and works in perfect harmony with the mids and treble, tonality is slightly warm.

They are very balanced sounding but also very full and warm. I have not heard zen 1 or 2 but right now I'm thinking they should be something I investigate. I have ordered a hiby r6, and I wonder if that is powerful enough for the zen

I got mine as part of the runabout deal. It came free with it, and it was worth it as they cost over £100 by themselves. I think wild lee still has the deal running though....

I have no use for another amp. I would not use it. I either use my desktop dac/amp with my PC or my tube amp in the living room fed by my better daps. But mainly I like to be portable even around the house. Whatever I use in this way has to be pocketable.
So I would want to get it on its own...is it worth the price if you just get the bud?
