Is it good for the 25usd they ask for them? From the looks and reviews it seems like a regular 10 bucks earbud to me. Cheap generic shell and cable, it must sound very good to justify the price
Good for you It seems PK-shell buds are cursed for me
$25 is half off. Doesn't seem cheap at all to me. I have much more expensive buds that don't seem to have better shells to me. I would still be happy had I paid full price. YMMV.

I just started listening to Snarky Puppy recently. I'm sure I haven't shared that info with anyone. It's gotta be a coincidence, right? If not, it's yet another sign lol.

Seriously! I just got mine tonight also. I put them in my ears and immediately thought that I wouldn't like them. Thirty minutes later and they're sounding really amazing. I put the B40 away. No point in comparing them. They're way different. This has got so much punch and warmth in the bass. Might be my bassiest bud. Taking out the Kube and Sabia V6 to compare.
Thank you, I'll like into both. Is there a way I can get all in one - fantastic mids, relaxed treble, soundstange as well as good timbre and tonality ?
I think you'd be surprised what you get even in a low end bud. The Monk doesn't have an impressive soundstage but the intimate stage with the extreme warmth of the mids is really engaging. Reminds me of the sound from the conductors podium or listening to an ensemble in a small hall. They're my go to for classical chamber ensembles, vocals and jazz. $5!

Okay I respect your opinion. I was just quite surprised at the “build construction is unique and classy” statement because the shell and cable are just basic generic items that worth 4usd at most even if you buy them at aliexpress (shell - 0.4usd per pair, cable - looks like any 3-4usd budget braided cable). I had multiple earbuds with that shell, the first was a stock bud for a cheap mp4 player 10 years ago, others may know it from RY4X. So the speakers and the tuning should live up to that extra 20 bucks, which I'm a bit skeptical about, that's why I'm interested how it sounds compared to other 20-30usd buds, or even to budget stuff like B40, Qian69 etc

Earbuds at such level typically isn't about which is better anymore but more on which fit the taste of the listener better. Both are warm sounding earbuds - Turandot's strength is in its grandness of presentation that resemble of a full size cans, while Bell-Ti has a more delicate treble and detail recovery. To put it simple, Turadot's focus on presentation is more on bass to mid, where Bell-Ti's focus is more on mid to treble.
That was a difficult comparison. It's definitely a different signature overall from both. I'd say the Vido would be a sound signature comparison. It's a SUPER upgraded Vido. Bass is similar to the Kube in warmth but not speed. It has as much bass as but doesn't have the bite of the Sabia. The bass dominates the sound signature BUT it doesn't touch the mids at all. They're so crystal clear. The separation is actually really amazing. Sounds like the bass is wrapped around the vocals with the treble floating on top. It has made a lot of my collection obsolete, in my mind. Things that I've really enjoyed now sound really plain and boring. Not saying that it's TOTL (because I don't have any TOTL to compare it to) but it is exactly the kind of improvement I would expect to see from the modest leap in price. I agree that I'd have been happy paying full price for them. Having them half price definitely made them a more palatable risk.
Only just got my EA buds but I like what I hear. Decent bass, clear mids and reasonable highs. Warm and engaging.
Like the EA more and find it a better value IMHO. Especially at 50% off
