The sound is similar to the red Vido, maybe even better. No way to compare.So does it sound the same as a Vido?

Hello everyone, I have a bit of silly question, do the different colours of the monk+ sound (brown, purple and clear) differently, or is it just a different coloured shell? I have heard that the clear ones have a slightly thinner shell than the other colours so I am interested to see if the sound is different.
I confirm, I do not understand why they made other filters, it was possible to make a black filter that could not be removed onlyBeen listening to my **** KP120s for a while now and decided to play with the filters at last; the blue ones are underwhelming, flat. The red ones are pretty good, edging in detail over the black but lacking the bass a little.
Black is best.
Smabat ST-10S Black-Gold sounding fine but the larger diameter is physically hurting the entrance area of my rather small ear canals
Hoping, that I'll adapt to it and the ache goes away with a few more days of wearing them. Double full foams muddied the sound... playing around with double donuts at the moment.
Pain and discomfort is now subsiding and nearly completely goneHad the same issue, changing the foams didn't help much for me, but in the end the pain went away after like 3 days of usage. The initial discomfort is worth the sound of these IMO
If I look at the 3 comparison graphs of Black Gold ST-10S and Green ST-10 without listening to the actual sound then I would choose the Green ST-10 which the bass, midrange, and most of the treble are each flat tending.I think you might have over-read into these graphs. These are not calibrated measurement and thus they can't be compared in absolute terms. They are being centered at 1kHz for convenience and common practice but you can just as well re-center them which ever way that you want.
All 3 graphs below are really the same, but centered at around 10kHz, 1kHz and 100Hz respectably. The actual subjective experience is however likely in between them.

(You may tell me not to judge without listening to the actual sound, but it is you who brought up the comparative FR graph earlier.)
Wait, Mr. @ ClieOS.
You tried to defend the Black Gold ST-10S by making the 3 comparison graphs.
But you didn't mention the new Black Silver ST-10S at all.
At least you must have implicitly admitted that those who already have the Green ST-10 do not need to buy the new Black Silver ST-10S.
Completly newbie in the Earbuds world here. I have been through the last 20 or so pages of this thread and pulled the trigger for the Smabat ST-10S Black/Gold. Absolutely no idea what to expect, exciting.
I thought that spending this money was not a very high risk, as I surely can sell them back for 70 - 80% of their price, if I don't like the sound or the fit.[
Me, I've been through the last 1000 pages, and have been lusting over the Black/Gold's since I read about them, and I still haven't pulled the trigger on them. I like your style a lot better than mine LOL! Btw, I have the Svara L 32ohms which I love and are a predecessor of the smabat's, so I can imagine how good the black/golds are. Enjoy!
The initial type SVARA-L 96Ω (?), which is unusable for out-of-tune sounds, and the initial type SMABAT ST-10, which sometimes breaks the sound due to strange connection of MMCX terminal part, I totaled US $ 180 "I bought them with my own money". And I haven't exchanged both. I have two consecutive painful experiences like these. The present of SMABAT builds on such a dire past.[

These Sonys are not earbuds, but IEMs, so this is in the wrong thread.Sony MH750 (if you find some, rare).
Please tell me for reference. For SVARS-L, Green ST-10, OLD Black Silver ST-10S, NEW Black Silver ST-10S, Black Gold ST-10S, you paid over $ 80, $ 80, $ 40 (discount for advice fee), $ 130 or more. Is it?Just to be clear, I paid for my Smabat as well.
