  VE Monk+ is on sale now, just picked up 2 pairs, let's see how they do against everything else.

Guys, can anyone kindly pitch the Monk+ against the Monks and Tomohawks?

Thank you

 
Just ordered the Monk+ and ordered the Tomahawks last week. Hopefully I`ll make another comparison review in the coming weeks.

I just got myself a Moto G 3rd and it comes without a headset. I currently have the standard phones that come with Lumia 735 and Quadbeats 3 - don't like them at all. Lumia headset, unfortunately, has no remote control.
So, I'm looking for earbuds (don't want anything isolating, I like to hear what's happening around) with at least volume controls + answering calls, next/previous track/FM station would be a very welcome addition. I want something wired, of course. They will be used for running, but nothing really special - the Lumia standard ones do well in terms of fit, so I guess 95% of headphones will do.
I don't want to pay more than 25 USD :).
 
I found Sony STH30 (which come in lovely lime colour that would fit my phone perfectly) for around 19 USD here and also AKG Y16A for around 25 USD so far. Which would be better or is there anything else I should look for?

The only thing to keep in mind then, is they're 150ohm. My Xduoo X3 can do about 200mW/32 ohms and I have to keep volume at ~70 where I usually use ~50. If your DAP is weak they might not be a good mix. But if they can power the ES100 they are so amazing. The detail and accuracy is really amazing.

My DAP is Xduoo X2 mod ver.
Yeah it can drive even ve zen, but i think the sound that came out wasn't the best it can produce.
Maybe i should pair it with xduoo xq-10 or other "small size" amp to keep its portability.

And anyone here could share comparation monk vs monk+?
I hope it sounds better than ordinary monk

I was away over a week and just came here to check what I have been missing and surprised to find out Monk + came out. I just placed an order of complete set of Monk + with full accessories. Hope it is improved version of original Monk. :)
