Thanks! A few more on the way and my Monk Plus showing up today according to Amazon.
Maybe I'll order up the: **** PT15?
Was thinking of getting my own MMCX cable and purchasing just the buds for $8.67 on Aliexpress.

You move fast lol. Ordered already!
And yes you can get just the earbud without the cable if you like, make sure it’s the newer pt15 version with 4 holes on the back in the pictures.
You’ll be in for a treat with those other buds thenAll purchased. Except pt15. I’ll wait on that one. Play with these 6?
I'd better put a spreadsheet together, I'll never remember all of these as at this rate. LOL!
Monk Plus literally just delivered. Opening right now......
In the ears right now....blows away the OEM Apple buds. Source is Apple iphone X. First impressions. Nicely driven by the iphone. Plenty of volume, not under powered with 64 ohm.
No sibilance. Lots of upper bass, little sub bass. Wow, great mids with Karen Carpenter "Make Believe It's Your First Time". Her voice is a great barometer. Jim Croce "I Got a Name" sounds great, just the right low level performance. Listening to "Sultans of Swing" by Dire Straits right now. Very nice, very tight. On to Keb' Mo' "Don't Leave Me Here". Another deep voice that seems to shine with these. Off to some Pop. Okay, another few bars of Keb' Mo'.........
Katy Perry "Teenage Dream".....probably not the best music for these. Doesn't shine.
Onto "Roar"....better. Low bass synth rolling through the song as bass lines.....maybe too much. Not great for this pop. Hearing all sorts of cackling and popcorn. Moving on to Led Zeppelin "Immigrant Song". Great mids here slightly over powered though I think by the low end. "Going to California" very nice acoustic guitar and vocals. Some rap...Aesop Rock "Rings" maybe a little too much low end taking these to their limit?
Lenny Kravitz "Live".... "I Belong to You"....very nice.
Can't wait to compare these to others on their way....slowly from China.
The Seahf 150 will blow your socks off ):
Thanks to this thread I have developed an earbud sickness. I can't express how much I am enjoying the recommendations from this thread (although my wallet is not enjoying it as much). I've gone a little overboard and will probably thin the herd once I figure out what my favorites are. I blame this forum for the sudden attack on my finances.
my thoughts exactly, and what’s your favourites?Which buds have you bought?

So I am ashamed to admit I have in a very short period of time purchased the following:
- Music Maker Tomahawk
- Music Maker Ting
- Zen 2.0
- Monk +
- BS1
- Campfred 2
- Shozy Cygnus
- Rose Masya
I have a few of them with me at work right now actually... I'll send a picture. And the other night I was playing around with the Zen 2.0's and my new PHA-1A.
