I jumped in on the fukubukuro... Sucker for the mystery I guess... Lol!

Was also conspiring the EBX at one point...

I don't think we will be disappointed:)

Smoother and wider, but only in minor terms.

It uses the standard MX500 shell, so it is about 16.9mm in diameter.

Good to know it's minor, so I don't feel bad about using unbalanced if I end up getting them.

Does the Monk+ use the MX500 shell? Pictures look similar. I measured my Monk+ to be 17mm with a pair of calipers, but my Monk+ has very bad mold marks on it, can account for the 0.1mm, have yet to sand them down.

No, I'm saving to buy the Masya next month.

MB, I could not resist :dt880smile: now it's 4 pieces available! But ok, it will be enough money to buy the Masya too, next month.

I have heard the Masya. My husband has it and I borrowed it one night. I loved it but he would not let me keep it!

I'm just a little concerned about the QC issues from Rose, but I'll try anyway. Your husband, wise man, don't let MB take it :k701smile:

Have others reported issues with the Masya?

Masya with multi hole hiegi is exquisite if you don't mind slightly lighter bass and low mids.

And what about the vocals? They sounded forward? I don't like recessed vocals, cause I'll crank the volume and it's not good.

Euphoric. Some of the most clear and perfectly positioned vocal earbuds in it's price range. Yes it's forward but with nice space around it. It's a little bright in the upper mids but the mutli hole custom foams really balance it out at the expense of some air. Treble is clear and the response isn't linear but curved in a very musical way with sparkle.

Might sound it's best on a fuller source to really bring out some weight in the lower frequencies.
