The Ks in black is very interesting. Could have done with a proper bass port/stem than that weird looking bobble thingy. But maybe it's irrelevant to the sound.

The Moondrop aesthetically looks better, but my god that thick front cover looks painful to get a good fit with. Not sure if I'll bite the bullet on that one, but I probably will on the K's LBB.

Black for K's because the silver one looks weird. Not a silver alloy shell :frowning2:

The moondrop buds always looks fantastic, look the chromed effect.

If the K's bud sounds the part it'll be a hit. Great shell for snug fit and cavity size. Metal build looks durable. Cable looks nothing fancy but it looks well made. This could be the new budget champion :)

Hey guys, did you know that there is a sound science forum on Head-fi? :wink:
I tend to avoid it. There's a reason that the top of that forum has links to "How to disagree", "Refutation = OK. Abuse & attacks are not OK", etc.
A lot of heated arguments between objectivists and subjectivists (if you don't know about those two camps in the audio world, good for you).

I'm looking to upgrade from my Monk+ and was wondering if the Sennheiser MX475 are considered that? Looking for some earbuds no more than £40 ($60ish), since in-ears even with the smallest covers leave me sore and achy within a minute or so.

The sound of Sennheiser MX475 focuses on treble. However, the sound of the Sennheiser MX375 which is brothers model is focused on bass as like Monk+.
Since the sound of the MX375 is closer to the sound of Monk+ than the sound of MX475, I recommend MX375 as the upgrade of Monk+.

If you like MX500 housing which is same as Monk+, I recommend HE150 for the soundstage and bass.
If you like PK housing which is small, I recommend SR2 16ohm TPE WIRE at Aliexpress for the soundstage and bass.

Thought my AP80 had finally arrived, as I had a card saying Customs fee to pay. I can tell you I was really disappointed to be paying a £12 Customs fee for $34 worth of RY earphones. Take this as a warning that RY will state the full value on the box, which is fair enough for them, but not what I was expecting.

Edit: on a positive note, I now have my GM500 and RY4S with UE cable, plus the RY10 IEMs for my skull obsessed grandson :)

Thanks for the heads-up. I have ordered from RY a couple of times without problems, but I will make sure to check in the future.
