Can someone give me the lowdown on the earsonics velvet? Are they a true bass head iem? How is the bass compared to se846, flc8s, fx850, etc? Recommended?

The turn dial one? Has major QC issues if that's the one. The bass on the fx850 is great and the flc8 with the right filters is better than the 850 IMO
 
flc8>850>se846(se is all BA and you can tell)

Popular budget set, someone once told me they were similar to JVC FXH-30 which I liked. There's a whole thread for them yonder ICYMI -- > http://www.head-fi.org/t/780859/rock-zircon-mula-iem-impressions-thread

I had it and gave it away after a couple days and the person who i gave them to kindly refused them a few days later. so i think you wil find some mixed opinions on it.

@Podster
, I apologize. The way that guy was talking was getting under my skin for no reason. The result, was me putting a response that had made you a part of it with a negative comment that was completely unnecessary and unwarranted. For that again, I apologize. I did not put it through my head I was saying anything negative about you when I posted that and am a jerk for doing so.

No biggie Expo, as I read it I did not really think you were directing towards me. As most will tell you that if I think I'm being hit I'll let you know in short order

If you are aiming for that budget range grab the ZEN monk.  It's earbuds v.s. IEM but the bass and stage and mids are impressive.

Lacks micro-detail....low-end just OK, not much layering. Best used for TV/movies off notebook, not for high-res listening.
'Back-up beaters'. Well-made for their price.

I am gonna agree the monk is the best thing under $10 and you can ust keep adding more foams to increase bass if you like.
of course the form factor of earbud vs in ear must be taken into consideration.
I still enjoy my Seahf IEMs, a great value at $15, but its not like anyone should or will be getting rid of their 16mm Sonys because of them.
a good addition for beater sets?

Are those just Monk or Monk+? There seems to be two versions floating around.

The plus is the only one being sold, the monk without a plus is the older model. Plus has more bass.

Gotcha!

I also read foam increases the bass. Does foam come with a set or should I buy it separately?

They are included. Ex pack has things like extra thick foams, rubber rings, etc to make the fit better. Check out the monk thread for more info on it

you could cover all holes at back of bud and leave one open and make it into iem but I did iem from it it became congested but I didn't cover holes, it only now I realise it has like 8 large holes at back, the back of dd mixes with front, that's why you can't really have massive bass, for bass you need a seal on dd and sound only coming one direction front, if back and front mixes bass can't go big cause it equalises or something. I like ve monk plus, but it's somehow too flat and thinned out like most sennheiser hd25 or amperior
do I feel a new mod coming? I don't know
