Maybe it’s a TOTL killer ^^

It could be $200 and the ad will still say "Kill Monk+"

i have the mk2 and Zen 2, also Asura 1. Zen 2 and MK2 has a very different sound signature that you can't really compare them apple to apple. the Zen 1 (from memory) might be closer to MK2.

Yup.

i like them both for different songs. Zen 2 is mid centric and warm sounding. MK2 is more V shaped with excellent subbass and more revealing treble than the Zen 2.
also any kind of foams (even the thinnest) with the Zen 2 will muffle the sound. only use them with no foams

Yup on all again. I find it challenging to ever disagree with you chinmie!

True but these are impressions not promotional statements

I don't think anyone in their right minds believes what the seller on aliexpress say about the earbuds like "kills x earbud, better than y earbud". Which is usually nonsense talk.

I certainly don't anyway

I have the pt15 bass is punchy, no bloat , very good mids

Ones that I have a sharp to the point that they are intolerable. I might have a defective set, but they are totally crap.

Assuming you have some hours on them, then yes, they may be defective, or else you are very sensitive to highs. I am somewhat sensitive, and I felt that they were a bit bright for me when I first got them, but they don't cross any lines now (and when I add some bass, they sound quite good).

Btw, I am using medium to thick foams, so that probably helps. Also, have you tried them on various sources?

Mine have ‘treble’ but I don’t think I’m sensitive to it and it’s less sharp than the DIY Grapene, another graphene bud I do consider very bright before I modded it.

Although I’m not getting this very punchy bass (it’s a little bass shy to me) and the mids to me are a little thin overall.

PT15 is awesome for the price, but not without flaws (then again most buds aren’t either).

My PT15s are pretty mid-high forward... bass is there, but I agree, definitely shy. The airiness is great, but I wish I could figure out how to tame the mid-highs. I'm afraid to crack them open because of the mmcx. I have opened up almost all of my emx500 shell buds and tweaked them to my liking, but not this one... yet.

may I ask how you are tuning them inside the shell? Any standard methods you’re using? Sounds interesting.

oh my I just realized I have been neglecting my earbuds, goddam headphones and blue-tooth thingies

 

[Carrow]

My Ultimate Brokee set are in the country ahhhhh

could even be here tomorrow!!

much hype

Should I be double foaming the smaller monk lite shells? Single foams on them are pretty loose.

It's not neglect if it takes a round year to get from A-Z in your collection

Do you have the aliexpress thin foams? They are pretty small and might stay on when others don't.

Just the ones that came with the monks + ones that came with emx500s but those might be bigger. Anyway not a huge deal, they stay on they just slide around a bit when putting them in my ear.

Ordered these with the pk pandas the other day so maybe they'll work a bit better
