  I'll have the Tomahawk by Feb 29th, unfortunately I bought the Ting from a different seller and that one just went overseas today, so another week or so for it to arrive.
 
Not sure when the Dark Horse G400/Seahf 400 will arrive, not seeing any tracking on it.
 
The anticipation is killing me.

Can you kindly do a comparison between the Tomahawks and the Tings when you have both of them on hand?

That is the plan!

i'm waiting

That is the plan! 

I think I am as anxious as you are for the arrival of your buds. Though I am mainly anxious for the comparison hahaha!

  Thank-you for taking the time to write up your impression.

If I remember correctly, the old version of the MIN VX is the MIN V5. When you mentioned that you have the first batch, does it mean that you have the MIN V5? Because AFAIK, there is only one version of the MIN VX correct? Did the company changed anything on the MIN VX on the 2nd or 3rd batch?

You are correct. The early version is V5 which comes with a blister box. Then it is replaced by VX, but some of the buyer wanted M1N to enhance the vocal department, hence there is the VX batch 2 with improvements.
Mine is the first batch of M1N VX. Here is the picture. I have to use rubber seal with buldge so it could stays on my ears. I have problem with smaller housing because it is fell off easily.

Add.
An impression of VX on Baidu. Which I think you could read it easily.

Well then, out with the monks I guess hahaha.


Now the lists comes down to:

MIN VX

TOMAHAWK

SEAHF 400 OHMS

TING

HAVI B3 PRO I

I have to stand up for the Monks a bit. They are probably the best bang for the buck earbuds ever. I see them as on the same level, but a bit better than, earbuds such as Yuin PK3 and Blox BE3 or M2C. All of those cost around $30 so the Monks could easily be sold for $30 or 40. There are better ones, but still the Monks are great value earbuds. I will probably sell my Zen 2.0, since I cannot seem to appreciate the sound even if I have tried hard. I'll probably include the Monks that I got with the Zens, but then I'll buy a new pair of Monks. They're great to have around as a spare pair...

Yes, Monk is Fantastic. For me, it opened my eyes and made me wanting to try other higher end earbuds. Before Monk, I have not even thinking about trying Earbud but use IEM only. Now I am willing to try other higher end earbuds to see what earbuds can do comparing with higher end IEM. I guess that there are many people who tried Monk want to try higher end audiophile grade earbuds for the same reason. (or it is just me.)

In addition, Monk is great but it is to be desired. I hear the distortion when it is turned up the volume and it lacks a bit of clarity (soundstage was very good for me) though. Hence eager to try higher end earbuds.

Yes, I fully understand that the Monks have legendary status in the audiophile world. However, here is my problem: since I have already decided to purchase either the Tomahawks, Tings, or MIN VX's, I highly doubt I would go back and listen to the Monks. Instead, the Monks would enter an eternal slumber in my plastic divider box, and suffer the same fate as my SIDY BGVP KT100 after  have gotten the SeaHF 320OHMS new version.

Do anyone of you go back to listen to your monks extensively after you have heard other buds like the Tomahawk? (Just curious)

Ah I see I see. Thanks for the information mate! Any ideas how one would identify or differentiate between v1 and v2?

Not problem for used all my earbuds, time to time

I don't know. You shold be safe if purchasing from the official store. Because mk1 already been discontinued and replaced. I wouldn't know if mine was the mk1 if the seller didn't inform me. He mention about it after I receive my package.

So I am also burning the seahf 400ohm and 320ohm mk2 now.

Mind telling me what is the difference between the 320 v2 and 400ohms are? I already habe the 320v2 and I was thinking of buying the 400. If they sound about the same, then i can cross them outta my list hahaha
