  Welcome shankar.

The taobao and mistertao sites seem to have sellers :

I wouldn't know where to start there though

I think BloodyPenguin and/or his wife may be Chinese speaker.
 
Wonder why you didn't get along with the E100A. Looks like the E100A (with the in-line control) generally gets worse reviews than E100?

Thanks @chrisjackson! You have answered all my questions. With E100A, I could never get a good fit and seal. So, they sounded worse than my Apple Earpods. Looking at the negative reviews, I wonder if they also had hardware issues in the later models of E100 and E100A. So, I figured that a more traditional earbud design would probably be better for me. Again, with VE Monk, I think they are bigger sized earbuds. So, not sure how that is going to work for me. So, I am considering trying out something smaller like the BEB 328RM also.

Aha! Persistence

 
 
Mind you even with Google translate and guessing reckon I'd still be left wondering what this is all about

What that shop means that the seller is sort of like an agent who helps individual to shop for overseas (American and Japanese) items. In this case, the Creatives' from the description of the seller are bought directly from Amazon Japan.

I have begun the long drawn process of buying the Suvov S20 from MisterTao. So, that's two earbuds (VE Monk and Suvov S20) scheduled to arrive over the next 2-3 weeks hopefully

Then sometimes, they get lost in the mail.  Then you have to start the whole process over.

FYI, for anyone interested, the Blue Ever Blue 328R are $7.38 on Amazon right now. The picture for the item is wrong, but I just got them today and the proper 328R Black came in the mail.

Yep, it was the second one there, the one direct from Amazon with the incorrect white in-ear pictured.

Well, decided to pick up the BEB 328r on Amazon, as of my purchasing, there's 4 left in stock by the seller.  The 328r is a prime add-on item, but it gave me excuse to pick up a new headphone stand for my HD700 that'll work nicely with my desk.

Folks, don't sell those old buds; breathe new life into them.
 
Was its signature too mid-centric for you or not enough? No worries the excentric® signature was designed for you.
 
At last one simple technique to solve all those budbears in one :
 
Amping - No need to let ohms and mWs and dBs get you in a tangle
 
Cable noise - check
 
Leakage - No worries. The adjacent seat on public transport is always vacant.
 
Isolation - yep, plenty (see leakage).
 
Excellent for anaerobic sports activities, I give you :
 
 

 
Best wishes to all over festive season

Got my VE Monks today. Ordered from AE and just took 6 days via ePacket. Lee is doing some awesome work getting these sent out. Kudos!

My Senn MX 985 arrived just in time for Christmas, and I must admit the detail with my gen 1 Fiio X5 is lovely! I will give it a try with the Kogan later.... Man that piano just sounds articulate.
